Sometimes I can feel that my EB has slight jerking when changing from idle to D and pressing the accelerator but I can't confirm this is the jerking thing you guys are talking about. It won't happen all the time, just once in a couple of drive. But from this tread, I understand that this jerking problem has been resolved since Jun 2012 and new batches won't have this issue. Is this normal?

Do we need to pay to update ECU at SC? How long does it takes to update? Can I just drive in to update the s/w without doing any service? Any pro/con after the update?

Currently proton is giving rebate RM1k for EB Standard.
My rebate was RM988 during March 2013.
Free tinted, spoiler, door visor, reverse sensor, dvd player and full tank. - Best deal in Ipoh (I survey kau kau).

I'm able to find original 16" EB rims for my EB Std for only RM500 (trade in steel rim). Should I go for it to look like EB premium? or topup to get those more stylish rims like this? I also like the rims similar to calmshot's or was it zakinawi's which is newer design with gun metal colour?

I just noticed a sound sounding like a vacuum cleaner running... not loud but soft. It's audible in the car but can hear more clearly outside the car at the rear tyre area. Is it normal or the fuel pump running? Any bros can confirm?

Also there is a rough squeaking sound coming from the front end of the car when I go over speed bump. Is that from the absorbers or something else?
*
I also encounter the squeaking sound coming from the front but I'm not sure what caused that sound. Sometimes I can hear that but other time none.

is it the net.... at luggage area... rolleyes.gif

if it was the same... there is 2 hook each at left and right site to hang the net...
*
I saw this back cover for exora the other day in mudah.my... check it out here http://www.mudah.my/Cover+bonet+belakang+T+BACK-22429156.htm

isn't the 2 hooks are for the seat belts for the last row? I don't see any hook at the luggage area. I also plan to install this fishing net later on, but I don't want to drill a hole to my EB.

I bought mine from Vincent. I have to wait also as no stock. Proton is allegedly allocating stocks to our Malay friends due to the festive season. Understandable and even laudable. Imagine: Balik kampung dengan kereta BAAARRRUUUUUU!!!  rclxm9.gif

Suppose to get my car in two weeks. Hopefully Vincent can make some magic and get my silver EBP faster.

Planning to replace the factory fitted tint. Need to take off the original tint before putting in the new one? Was told that double tinting will affect view. Was thinking of double tinting (putting new tint on top of the original one) for the side windows at the back (4 pieces) to reduce visibility and heat. Viable? icon_question.gif
*
Don't think it will affect the view (depends on the darkness %) but was told by the tinting shop that double tinting will void the warrenty given to the original tint. Anyway, i've fitted black tint on top of the factory tint on the third back windows.

Thanks for sharing kelvin. I'm not really bothered about warranty for original tint since the alternative to double tinting would be to remove the original tint all together! tongue.gif

About your 3rd back windows, does it work? is it very much darker with double tinting vs single black tint?
*
my purpose is to avoid preying eyes, black tint on top of my factory fitted reflection-type tint.

qwerty79: price varies, do shop around for best price, so far cheapest RM20, standard RM40, even got RM100+ US tint with 5 years warrenty.

anyone planning to do /done the headlamp tint? is it just for nice look or does it protects the headlamp from becoming yellowish?

Hi Proud EB CFE Owners...
Checking with you guys..has anyone of you already faced the aircond problem in your MPV? My aircond no more cool yesterday [after 1 year of usage sad.gif ]plus when i stop at a traffic light, there's a white smoke came out from my front hood...thought it was engine overheated but the temp.level is normal...

Aircond parts should be cover for warranty right? Which aircond shop to go??

Appreciate your sharing. Thanks.

If i remember correctly proton warranty is 3 years or 100,000km whichever come first. Take it back to authorised proton service centre.

Mine one is standard Exora CFE. No regret because with 10k different i can add any accessories anytime. The major differential is leather seat with better seat design(arm rest for 1st,2nd row and also head rest for 3rd row missing), no reverse camera, ICE unit,no seat belt warning, no fog lamp and switch, bonnet lamp missing, unfold side mirror, and cover rim.
*
mine one is also std and i wonder if there are switches or wires ready in there if we are to install fog lamp or bonnet lamp. any idea? and what is ICE unit?
i can live without cruise control and reverse camera, now i'm already an expert in reversing my big toy.

Agreed that built-in fuel/distant calculator in not accurate.. I hv not tried to dried up my tank but my personal estimation for kampung road travelling.. one full tank fuel can cover at least 600km.. with economic driving mode.. about 19.25 sen per KM.. 

City drive.. not sure yet becoz when taking the car delivery last time I was stucked in a very HEAVY traffic jam.. will be using this car as a weekend car, my Waja will still serve as my main car bcoz it has been equipped with CNG kit

So far so good, just that the door have to be pushed slightly harder to close it... (the door rubber is still stiff according to technician).. as for handling, I think my Waja is still have upper hand maybe due to vehicle height..

My question is that... during 1st 1000km service .. I am using Petronas Semi Syn.. next oil change will be next 5000km.. however in service book said that my second service is 10,000km.. if I go for service at 5000km where will they stamp service certification in the book.. since there is no space for 5000km service schedule in the book..
*
door has to be pushed harder to close it... nothing to do with door rubber... try to close it with other door(s) opened, you will see the difference, i think is because of the interior air pressure.

5k service is because proton is giving away 3 free services for the first 10,000km. 1st free service @ 1,000km, 3rd and last service @ 10,000km. If you don't service @ 5,000km, you only get 2 free services. And they don't record the 5,000km service in the service booklet.
