bro zakinawi,
i'm going for 30K service and planning to go to SC Glenmarie S.A. (the one you are recommending)..just to double check with you; what are really needed to change/replace for the 30K service..coz previous SC i went (near Seri Kembangan) looks like adding more from what stated in the Service Manual...they used the CVT Engine service check list..i asked for EB CVT CFE engine service list, but they don't really have it...my last service (20K) cost me around 600 MYR, since they said need to change CVT oil etc...

Kindly advise bro...

err iinm next is 5k
-Upon testing cruising above 80kmh, the whistling sound still exist either window up or down.
-So i assume the source probly from a gap area near the door, as mentioned by @mandrew Option #1:  the side mirror, will try above suggestion later on and post result.
-time to hunt reverse sensor,
-btw anyone know the price for the rear mirror thingy that attach to the spoiler thingy? i wonder how effective that rear mirror

lupa nak update my latest finding
Issue : drive above 80kmh ...got whistling sound on driver side
Finding : Once I fold the side mirror and the sound vanish.
Possible solution as below :

QUOTE(mandrew @ May 17 2013, 03:54 PM)
Adding Visor will not resolve the Wind Noise (as Neo1point3 pointed out, I also read somewhere forum member saying that the Sound was gone only after removing the Visor).
From forums I saw Owners narrowing down their findings to 2 things.
1.  The Side mirror
    One of the forum member wrote that he inserted a sponge sort of material inbetween the Side Mirror gap (I believe it is the gap between the Folding Mirror and the holder) and the Noise is gone.

2. The side Quarter Glass.
    Another person said that it is coming in from the front Quarter glass. I also tried doing a additional sealing for the quarter glass and feels like the sound has reduced a lot. But not completely.

just ask the shop that is putting the new tint if they are OK with the old tint and provide additional warranty for it. If they said better to be removed, just remove it, could cost you additional RM50.

when I add rhinepro to my factory tint they said no need to remove old tint and the tints (old/new) warrranty for 15 years.

correct me if im wrong, but according to the exora service manual, you only change your cvt oil at the 60k mark. why was the cvt oil changed at 20k ? 20k gearbox oil change sounds more like they changing oil for a normal autobox ( those 4 speeder torque converters that they been using since wira time)

im a exora bold cfe owner. from the first batch.my car already 1 1/2 years, now pushing 38k mileage. i gave up on proton service centers. now i service at the mechanic downstairs from my office.

today, im replacing my gtradial tyres. the thread haus until the weave, and its losing air.

if follow SC, they will change brake fluid, radiator coolant, sparkplugs, cvt oil.. this unneccary things at 30k servis no need to do lah.. brake fluid??
i rather change to performance brake fluid rather than proton.. same price..
coolant? no need to change.. if want change, go to normal workshop.. more cheaper..
cvt oil? it should be change at 60k, dunno why change at 30k..

since its a new engine n gearbox, i rather constantly service at proton..
until 2years, baru i service at other workshop..using performance oil lubricant..
with the price of petronas 10/40 oil, i can get liqui molly, rock oil, Torco..hish..

there are 2 types of proton edar SC.. one is WAKIL Servis Edar..
another one is like glenmarie, COE, mutiara damansara, which is direct with proton edar service center..
avoid WAKIL servis.. they only chase for your money..

the Rm600 u paid, it should be done at 30 or 40k.. actualy u can choose when to change the coolant, brake fluid, cvt oil..u change spark plugs alraedy? it cost 400 MYR.. what the hell..i didnt change it yet.. my milage is 48k alreaady.. buy exora january 2012... so much trouble for the 1st batch.. haishh...

by the way, what type of engine oil u used? semi or fully synthetic? i start to use fully but the synthium version have no choice; only 15W 50 which i think is not so good right? Is it ok to revert back from fully to semi? any issue with the engine performance for long run?

beter use semi.. if use fully, how long will u service your car? mybe 10k u can use for a year.. so u service your car once a year?.. hoho. service your car regularly.. so the car will not give trouble..n can detect trouble if service at every 5k..

if u use fully, but wait until 10k, with all the sick malaysia traffic, road.. sure need to service faster..

for me, its already ok with 10-40 oil.. i use petronas 10-40..plan to change to Torco or liqui molly for next service..car sudah almost 2 years..with that, i rajin sikit take care my car.. if not, too lazy to open engine hood.. haha nod.gif

hi guys

going for my next service tomorrow. need some help if you have experience what might be the root cause of my issue so i can tell those service guys

1) Engine not stable during idling / reverse
- already try to fix twice (change OCV, upgrade software) but still the same

2) Back wiper have screeching noise
- already try to fix once (don't know what they do)

3) When go through some pothole, got the "eeekkk" sound
- did mention to them but i don't think they fix

4) petrol in the cabin if pump full. only will have smell when turn on air cond
- already try to fix once (don't know what they do)

btw, this is my 10k service

anything i should take note that they don't add a lot of unnecessary stuff in my service? going to seksyen 13 area. any idea roughly how much it should be?

2.) ini wiper sudah rosak..change wiper - setel..mine fixed
1.) try n go at Glenmarie shah alam. they can do it.. mine fixed.. after go to 2 SC, including HQ..no more jerking, engine not stable or whatsoever..

they will add X1r or other additive for your engine.. thats all, but u must pay for it..

thanks for the input

the petrol cover is it the black cover we remove to pump petrol? if yes, which part to put the sealant? won't the sealant come off after long use?

for the engine jerking, any idea what they did?

refund or can summon the SC. vmad.gif vmad.gif
