coolant leakage are not normal...
instead it should overflow back to water tank instead if the water pressure are too high due to temperature, but leaking from not from the piping joint...

AMO, good cooling system maybe doesn't require refill radiator up to 3-6 months at all or refill every 5000-10000 km while car servicing... smile.gif

ok..then i will monitor again tomolow if still leak i need to go that branch again.

but seem the clip changed to screw type instead? i think almost no possible for leakage... as believe the previous clip are no strong enough to handle the pressure...

this morning, my nose clearly can smell coolant when i park at my office parking lot. ask my auto friend to check. and unfortunate, it leakiing again this morning!!! mad.gif
i sent to nearest SC to repaired. mechanic there said the screw clip loose..
replaced with new clip but same patent (with screw).

aiya..now feel like uncomfortable la.afraid the screw loose again.

Mine same like u leaking n i change myself to screw hose instead but still leaking. Next day send to sc n instantly they change a new hose for me.The sc even told me they might recall the hose. This water hose happen to exora cfe too. So my advice is never use screw type clip becos the hose is already leaking with hair line hole.
*
oh really bro?
thanks..
as they replace tht clip yesterday,i myself don't confident with screw type clip too.
i will tell them to replace with same type standard clip back. hope they have spare hose and clip..

Actually it come with full set,meaning 1 hose n 2 spring clip. My advice ask them to use new one. Never use back the old spring clip becos the old clip is already soft
*
umm..unfortunate, they dont have sparepart for that hose..so they just order it from penang.
i ask about the clip which is i want to use the new clip too. look like they dont know too about the clip. they said, they will use the old clip..
i said why not use the new clip..they no no no..the old clip still ok. watta hell

if u said it come in full set 1 hose 2 clip then im releaf.
but need to wait i week? dam..i ask them is this car still safe to drive? they said yes, it safe no worry.
hell i feel not safe at all, the coolant still leaking. i show the the coolant level on the spare/cooolant plastic container decreease a bit..
still they said no worry..hmmmp.

i ask them if i change to aftermarket hose did my warranty still valid. they said yes as long as the original hose is keep nicely. ask them about the aftermarket shop selling this kind of hose they said dont know. i try serching the shop selling performance parts..searching aftermarket high perf hose but unlucky me dont see one. anyone here at alor setar know the place?

just done changing my radiator to turbo unit hose. yawn.gif

since i cant wait any longer shakehead.gif , i my self searching different SC around alor setar. and found at one Proton Edar SC have the spare part for that hose. and they said proton already recall this shit. maybe im not aware of that since they dont sent me letter. but at least previous EON SC which is th biggest SC in ALor Star should tell me about that. they didnt even tell me about the recall shakehead.gif shocking.gif . heck!

my next service will be at Proton Edar SC. no more EON, mad.gif
regarding on my report to weCare@proton.com, i hope they do strictly advise their service center representative to work properly.

Lo, first I heard Forte NVH is better than Preve. Few of my friend own it and I also test drive it, the NVH is bad.

ops bro..what NVH mean? hehe sory for the noob question

if u mean the noise?

what i mean comfort in forte 1.6sx is the indoor noise is less than preve cfe.plus i dont hear dahsboard rattling like my preve..no doubt the tyre forte 1.6sx much noiser than preve cfe. which forte 1.6sx use 215/45/17.
change to much more comfort tyre then ur done.

preve is considered more safe than forte. forte 1.6sx local spec only comes with 2 airbags, but preve have 4

and preve have 5 star ANCAP, forte only score 4 star in the same test
