it's OK since you maintain standard size. just imagine the price for those upgraded to 17" or 18"

Just to update, I received my EB CFE standard with beg kecemasan, coil mat with logo & suprisingly, it comes with reverse sensor as well. That is a good deal for me since before I made my order, I've been to few other proton edar branches & all confirm the EB standard didn't have the reverse sensor & the air cond vent for middle row seat. I got both in mine..

Done raytech tinted on my own (proton give this cap ayam brand tint voucher), done the HU, steering & speaker, changed the rm to 17" all in the 1st day...I hope there won't be an issue with proton SC during my 1st service.
*
should just ditch the raytech and go for better security tints

Bintulu got the worst flood.. How long it take b4 we can proceed to sart car...water until seat... icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif
Today is 2nd day...

you better disconnect the battery now. fully submerge, better drain all fluid especially fuel, engine old and CVT oil, remove oil pan and clean if possible.

better send to proton SC. they are giving discount for flood cases.

Also does anyone know then IP Address for eb?i downloaded a app and they ask for the car IP address..I'm using ipad.

you need BT enabled OBD tool to connect. hopefully it's compatible with the software you are using.

1. Was in D mode (never use L mode so far). Maintained cruising speed of 110kmph at highway with very light-footed,  observed rpm was 2500 rpm.

2. it reached 120kmph, but car very hesitate to move any faster, have to really press hard on the gas pedal, then it will faster a little bit. (it was like something is try pulling back the car even you are pressing hard on the gas pedal to make it fast).

So from the reply of other bros, it seems like 2400 rpm ~ 2500 rpm is considered normal for 110kmph cruising speed for exora cfe. Actually this is still quite high rpm even compared to toyota wish that is using CVT as well, which is much lower rpm when cruising at 110kmph (could be due to turbo charged on exora).

Anyway, i think i will get the SC to check and see if software reflash needed.
*
any warning lights from the front panel? CVT is hot?
cruising at 110 should barely over 2k rpm. you need to SC and check the turbo unit and CVT

Was wondering whether anyone here knows where to get the emblem for our ride's steering wheel? Never understand why Proton wanna save on that part.

Also wondering if anyone installed hobbits exhaust system? smile.gif
*
can't put the metal emblem as it's for the airbag to pop out.

It's standard alloy rim actually. The spare is actually rim besi and using it now. thanks to that have to drive other car to go back kampung during CNY :'(

Am thinking of if I cannot get 1 rim or a set of rims within reasonable price then I gonna change all to rim besi :'(
*
i think you can hunt down the standard alloy rim, with tyres from tyre shops, or just put WTB in Mudah or forums. hope you find show willing to let go one.

where are you located? I might have a friend willing to let go his old EB spare rim. EB from 2012 normally has all 5 alloy rims.

Found this while browsing EOCM group in FB. Its reported that the radiator hose to turbocharger can burst when subject to accessive vibration.
*
why SC does not replace the top radiator cover?

if this happens when warranty is over, we should be thinking of using all alum radiator, no chance for the plastic head to break.

Owned EB Premium for 1 year ...problems so far...
1) Engine sqeeking sound during cold start...(i thought it was normal for "turbo" engine) will ask abt the Belt Tensioner in SC in next visit

2) "Rocking" driver seat...1st 1K visit, SC personnel said is by-design...I complained till i-Care...and few months later, SC manager called me back and replaced the Driver seat. So far, no more "rocking".

3) Engine stalled when doing "3-point turn" (i.e. changing gear from D -> R -> D). SC "fixed" it by doing some tuning may months ago. So far no problem, until recently... Engine stalled again when doing a Reverse parking (up a very slight slope). Engine stalled twice. The 3rd time, I stepped on the accelerator at "Parking" brake, then reversed.
Will question the SC again...how can a "automatic" car engine stall?

4) Engine stalled during cold start...seen in the forum, seems to be something related to "One-Way valve"? Will question the SC in net visit.

If you have had these experiences please share with me. Thanks!

engine stalled while reversing may be sign of oil control valve issue. one way valve is the krreek sound when first start in the morning. OCV can easily be replaced. just inform SC you keep having the stalled problem when reversing.

The third time that my Exora went back to SC sad.gif The aircon problem can't be fixed. This time they said there is air in the aircon gas, so they sucked it all out and refilled again. SA keep saying, don't worry there's warranty but its so damned tedious to keep sending the car to the SC :/ Proton oh proton...why is your QC so terrible...
*
aircond not cool enough and SC cannot find the leak? check the rear air cond system as well. sometimes they just skipped it.

mine has leak from day 1, and refill once at sc, and after a visit they still can't find the leak. until i inform them about oil leak from rear blower then only they can find the leakage.

Yeah, EB. Not even a year old. It's not the problem of cold. It's like 5 minutes very cold, 5 minutes hot, 5 mins warm and on and on in a cycle. On short drives in KL, still can take it, but when I need to go outstation, like next month...oh dear oh dear...

like a thermo amp problem ...

Ya, i mean i did have a lot of choice of mpv/suv/wagon that can carry my harp la, test drove so many, but thought exora was great value for money. still think so, but hope no more niggle niggle issues. very embarrassing to drive a car less than a year old but aircon already faulty.
*
it can happen to any brand. just go to <whatever model> forum, you will read a lot of related issues.

I'm currently averaging around 8.5km/L. 100% city commute.
90% of the time drive economically, 10% of the time floor the pedal and drive very ganas  wink.gif

I remember someone mentioning before that they managed to get 10km/L quite some time ago  hmm.gif

this is excellent. my wife EB to ferry children to school can do only 6.7 km/L.
