Proton already desperate..after launching the ugly suprima premium with crazy price, than another neo version with basically almost same as previous version..

We want new neo..not the same thing recycle after on the road almost 6 years...sigh...

Neo otai, just wondering, do Neo can be classified as Hot Hatch car?

lukewarm hatch

need help here guys..
my neo cps auto has a weird sound at rpm near to 5k.
not sure if anyone encountered it before?

went 2 to workshops to troubleshoot so far but they cant pinpoint it
i suspect:
1) VIM valve, cps tappet jammed or spring rosak or something - workshop cannot confirm it
2) timing belt slipped one notch - workshop said not possible. but when open the timing belt cover and rev can see the timing belt vibrate like gitar string but not hitting anything so probably not timing belt
3) engine oil issue? but just change 2K km ago - luqui moli 10w40

Workshop 1 suspect
Engine mounting - since no power loss just weird sound and vibration but 2nd workshop check and say no prob with the mounting

workshop 2 suspect
1) timing belt - checked and confirmed nothing wrong though noted the belt vibrating
2) crank pulley bolt loose - checked and confirmed not it
3) air cond compressor loose, knocking against something - also confirmed not it
4) possible engine internal issue

end up they say have to leave car there to check but have to wait till after CNY as got so many cars now and they also on holiday for CNY

appreciate if anyone has some pointers on how to solve this.
right now the car is still drivable without the weird grinding sound as long as i keep it below 4k rpm but i dont think i want to leave it till the sound is there at all rpm or till something breaks

Get it overhauled.

U using lcp?
The rumor tell lcp can ruin ur crank bearing or crank shaft bended?
Thats what i can think of if there is timing belt slipped.
And might be tensioner faulty too. I dunno. My 2 cents only.

My car makes sound only when first start in the morning when cold.. after a while ok... wonder wtf sound is that..

Sharing my first time using time-lapse on my neo. Need more practice. I want to try side view but afraid the suction cup might cabut. Using homemade suction mounting

still prefer old cps, now still hunting for bargain second hand manual cps.

My brakes were making noise.. so went check.. changed rear brakepump last week.. this week front brake pump pulak make noise.. my driving is super LOL

anybody interested in retrofitting HID Projector in NEO (replace the stock halogen projector.)




*can check my siggy link..

anyone here uses 20/45/16 tyres? I went survey around bangi area and got quote on kumho (RM25x), Conti MC5 (RM3xx), Yokohama R1 (RM27x). Are these price normal/average?

Normal

guys, was wondering if its normal to have this flapping sound near your timing belt area when you move your car slowly or slowing down. i asked a few mechanic they say its normal for satria cps engine.

thanks

happy CNY guys~
drive safe

Happy CNY guys

Me so sad in CNY Last night testing my 1 month old Neo CPS R3 (AT) at Highway. Top speed is just 160-170 km/h I expect my neo can reach 200 km/h but it can't Come on, even my Inokom Getz 1.4 (AT) can reach the same top speed of 160-170

Why aa Sifu2? Because too heavy cause I'm driving with 2 of my friends in the car? Or because the engine is still new?
