Bro, mine is at this area between the emergency signal button and the digital clock unit. During every morning start engine, the vibration will slowly reach here and buzz sound like a loose spring. Also cruising low speed or uneven/rough surface will have it. When press the top flat surface the sound disappeared. Sent my car for 1k service at PJ Red Cube and they don't advice to open the dashboard. What they did is hand solution!  sweat.gif Tumbuk tumbuk at top of dashboard surface and the noise disappear for some times. Hope no other sound appear after this solution.  blush.gif The buzz sound still can hear at a less noticeable noise though, lately didn't hear much of the buzz sound. Will monitor it.

For the sunroof noise, is loosen clip, they took it out and reclip back. Issue solved here.
Once at 1 traffic light cornering felt the car swirl abit to left maybe due to sudden corner at 60-80km. Didn't see ESC symbol light up. So far didn't feel under power during pick up. But during jam the car felt abit moving forward might be due to the heavy body. whistling.gif

I also did tumbuk tumbuk, press hard hard on it. mine is at the edge of passenger side. It will solve a little while but still back to square again. I think the HU can open to fix inside, I will step in to sc and let them have a look.

Rattling noise
Yes is irritating

From last 2 weeks, my car got into sick

When u drive to average 100 km/h (cruising), you will hear some metal rattling / buzz Sound.
Suspect from left front dashboard

Sent to Redcube PJ. They say they tighten dashboard , and ask me drive back . let me feel that they are tai chi ing, coz the sound still exist

I think best way is to prove to them before and after fixing, so that they are aware of where the sound is from rather let them tighten blindly

Ah, yes. The deep press on pedal and not moving but just engine roars. I think i might know the issue as i tried to play on manual and auto. Actually manual is totally not fun to play with since on 1-2nd gear is basically no pickup feel, and 3rd gear at 3000 rpm u only hit 40km/h doh.gif

Back to the deep press experience issue, as i found out, since the gear needs to shift from 1-2-3 and onwards, giving that basically 10-15km/h the gear shift to 2nd and during the shift in Auto, i notice there's a feel of "release gear" and "enter next gear", during this gap, suddenly the pedal you press is all just like you are on neutral and press pedal, hence no power. The engine is CVT and should have a smooth auto gear shift, but there is a 0.5sec where the "shift" appears, the pedal press is "Nuetral" so u see rpm flies to 4k - 5k but no movement. Plus the car 1st gear is about 10km/h and then shift 2nd gear, to about 20-30km/h then 3rd. So it's quite low and really not much to accelerate. 40km/h you should already on 3rd gear in auto. Try play manual and you'll see that the rpm on 1,2, 3rd gear, even if you press on 2nd gear, it won't bring u much pickup but only at 30-40km/h your engine roars like a lori. sweat.gif

Above is just my experience and guess on how my gear shift and test for trying to pick up using 1st and 2nd gear.

Btw, i accidently fill my car with Vpower racing RM2.80 per litre, instead of 97 doh.gif . Results ? the car gives better respond for 1st and 2nd gear pickup. Way better than using 95 where you have to "wait" the car to move while other cars beside you already pickup till 2 cars away from u.    biggrin.gif

Is 6 AT not cvt bro. I will more enjoy slowly cruising rather than racing the engine especially at night. Slowly enjoy sitting inside the car..

Asking for anyone polish their dashboard? which brand of internal polish is good? i try not to buy those oily type where once you wipe, you see a layer oil and hence the obvious oil layer with the non-polish area. (You know our dashboard area near the wiper area, it's almost unreachable with out a tool, so mostly that is the non-polish area brows.gif )

Please do share if anyone polish their car by own effort as well, plan to polish my car since it's been nearly 4 months, the original "shiny" from the clear coat need a boost. smile.gif

Need to use those water based cleaner. Just look at keywords when buying.

Guys, anyone have experience tight shifting of AT from P to R? I noticed mine is very tight when shifting from P to R when my car is parked slightly decline/incline. Is this normal? hmm.gif

Put to N then pull handbrake, lastly put to P. This will let the handbrake hold your car instead of gear engage. This will prevent gear damage in long run. Pls try.
