Not the fuel cap, the fuel pump, situated under the 2nd row seat.

Oil sludge is a common problem is cars, in some cases even with correct service intervals. Google this up: "turbo engine oil" and you'll find some reads that you ought to know. One thing to know, is oil sludge cannot be filtered or separated. Problem is that it is part of the oil, exposed to high heat and chemically degraded and it sticks to surfaces unnecessarily. It is like cholesterol to the human body.

Yes even with the oil catch tank there's still oil sludge. From my understanding it can reduce them to the turbo component.

Hi,
I'm quite confused now...some people recommend to use fully synthetic oil..some said semi-syn is good for our Exora Bold CFE (turbo engine)...any confirmation from expert?

If someone can confirm the one in the pic is the fuel pump, that would help point to the culprit.

did anyone has the cabin fuel issue and resolved by fixing the fuel pump?

btw, just curious. the smell only happens when pump fuel (for my case pump full or half also have the issue) but once the smell it gone in a few minutes time, it never came back until the next refuelling

if it is the fuel pump issue, will the smell only comes when refuelling only?

I never hear oil catch tank can catch oil sludge. shakehead.gif shakehead.gif
Oil catch tank is to trap blow-by gas from reentering intake manifold.

actually both incorrect.

the seal is to close the gap with the body in the petrol access. refer to the pics

if you do nanomist and found there is smoke coming out from there, chances is you need the seal

Depends on what you want from your MPV. To me the only selling point for the Prime is just the captain seats, which looks pretty comfy for long journey trips.
But downside is that the prime is only a 6 seater (due to the captain seats).

I personally took the Premium over the prime because I find that the extra headrest monitors are useless and I prefer the practicality of having a 7 seater rather than a 6 seater. I also really didn't like the fake "wood" trim around the dashboard centre console. Moreover, to me the prime's extra features doesn't justify the extra RM10k.

Not sure if its the same sound with mine... mine has a rattling sound at low speed , and a fluttering sound at about 80 to 90 km/h... i would suspect its something in the dash board, but I do not have the time to leave the car at the SC for almost the whole week for them to rectify this... So if anyone else has this problem and had it solved, please do share... wink.gif
