hmm... I am having rattling sound near my front passenger seat.. sound like metal hitting metal also... is it my problem same with what u mentioned here?

no need to take out skirting,just loose a bit 2 nuts near the headlamp,vertically,,u can access that by open up ur hood only. pull or push a bit,(depend where u r during that time),readjust the nut hole,outward,to the side. then retighten back. thats it. i think 5 minute job.

its the side fender where u have the side repeater. left or right,dpend on where u heard the metal hitting sound.

so many posts... ><

sory,how to delete repeated post? its error previously. so,resend it.im really sorry.

sory,my reply to mr david earlier.

em,about front seat,i dont think so. its normaly heard near the ac hole of dash near the door,or door.its around that area. but no harm trying.

i see.. bcox at my driver side,i din hear this kinda of rattling sound...
only front passenger side got.. quite anooying sometime when driving.. the faster i drive,the louder it gets..

oic, just try it out. Who knows it can solve ur problem.

Ok thx

self fix. most tire shop in msia don't have proper torque wrench (or even know wtf is a torque wrench)

air gun tembak banyak la and you DON'T want them to use it on your lock nut

what mr david said about flx cvt is true coz start from 2k rpm onwards, the strategy of the cvt has change where by the character will be more resposive, thats why even u r rev a bit beyond 2k rpm, u will hear it roar n suddenly u feel its alive :-).

Thats why, 3 strategies implimented for punch cvt, 1.6k rpm n below, torque retention, to ease driving at parking lot, to park, n driving slowly around neighbourgoud coz u dont want sudden acceleration, or slingshot or rubberband effect especially during parking.

Next after 1.6k n bfore 2k rpm, the cvt ratio is labour for fuel efficiency, thats why feel a bit lembab :-), 2k rpm n above, change character, from lembab, suddenly roar, it seems that it reach its powerband. Reason, for cruising n overtaking.

Just look at speed when drivng below 1.6k rpm, when driving between 1.7k to 1.9k rpm, and when 2k rpm, u will understand what i said earlier. If understand it, then u will know when to rev below 1.6krpm, when to rev between 1.7k rpm to below 1.9k rpm, and when to rev up from 2k rpm n onward..

Hope this help for cvt flx, whether se or 1.3. Actually its nearly Same as mitsu cvt also in mirage, below 2k rpm is the best, but not too low coz it will reduce torque to assist parking procedure. But of course, cannot beat mirage or even attrage due to 3 cylinders, aluminium n light weight body.

about rolling start also true though due to clutch action, but already found out solution, evp :-), it will be standard across cvt campros soon. By reducing the load from the engine previously need to create vacuum for the brake. Its like the diff in hydraulic pwr steering n eps. Even hydaulic good in feedback, but it take a toll to the engine in town driving. If u r idling, turn the steering wheel to the left n to the right, u will see the rpm drop a bit. This doesnt happened to eps.

Sorry if my word is bad coz im not good at explaining.

Very nice explanation, thanks

Looking forward to the new Proton cars with these upcoming new tech. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hill launch assist in the Suprima S

yeap this is true, have this on both the cars i have

Oh well, thanks

Boss, the sound is directly on the passenger side panel, happen INSIDE the panel between the door and the mudguard of the passenger side at the bottom part. There's nothing loosen at my front end. Meanwhile, your mouse is officially diagnosed infected by Iskazulka virus.

Will try and see lar

Driven LBLP? Rather have it

oic.gdluck mr david

mr dares,u did have a healthy discussion on hill hold assist earlier to counter the back movement when uphil due to clutch action. hill does have ears.

Tks a meg, Bro!
For yr kind concern & constant response...

And yup, no WOT...juz plain ole unker style driving. ..
Concentrating on maintaining this Gaga so can enjoy it 4as long as possible nia...

Gonna give 1 more Caltex Service Station a final chk out b4 me give up the search & fall back on Proton SPIII...
