Since you're using bluetooth connection, the reading is accurate or any lagging?

the EB has front and rear aircond blower. front aircond need to have the dashboard removed for trough inspection, while the rear need to remove the side panel and seat.

mine leak the gas while travelling to kedah, and this is just after 1000km service. in kedah they need a lot time to inspect so end up just refill up gas. back in KL the SC could not find the source of leakage until I insist them to check the rear aircond set. then they notice leaking oil and fix the issue.

air cond is fine till to date, approaching 2 years coming july. if they can't find issue at the front, please insist them to check the rear unit.

I noticed the second row seats for EB have this annoying flap in the footwell that limits some legroom.
I just detached the velcro tape holding it, and instead stuck it underneath the seats.

Yes, it doesn't look that nice especially now that the horizontal metal bar can be seen, but at least the second row passengers can now slide their feet underneath the seats and get a little more leg space to stretch laugh.gif
*
the flaps is suppose to cover the horizontal bar, you might want to cover the bar with some sticker otherwise if your children put the leg on the bar, the bar may discolorized.

Taken directly from FB user Drex. Credit to him Drex Chan This thing need experiment. But most plug is same, the different we need to see is material and plug dimension.
*
top 2 plugs looks not that suitable due to burn marks. our standard one in the middle is much better, but the brisks plug, wow. it can really stand to the high temp of the cfe engine

The capacitor has voltmeter built in. When the aircon compressor and two radiator fans kick in, the voltage dropped from 14.4 charging to 10.8 before the alternator reacts and keep up with the voltage. 2 farad cap also not enough.Haven't had the chance to try headlight. Will update again.
*
you might want to check the A rating of the alternator, and if you could prepare cap of 5% of the rating, that might be good baseline to add / reduce cap rating required

Those are used plugs never before installed on a CFE. Denso IXUH22i is doing well so far. Half the price of those Brisk too.

the brisk unit is just 15USD on brisk website. that's just about Rm200 for all 4. When I replaced my NGKs at the SC, it cost 270+.
This is using silver instead of iridium.

color wise, for me best is EB Prime color, Tranquility Black. I'm seeing metallic black as well on some EB standard, not bad for modi VIP style.

cocoa grey looks to be color of choice now, too many on the road already.

Yeah..that's why..i dont know why they don't want to recall..imagine driving at high speed and suddenly your brakes don't work..
*
the EV does not add in brake reliability. it's just vacuum pump whereas normally we use vacuum from engine to release the brake.

the engine vacuum is more proven. if you failed to brake one time, try release it and brake again. of cource you need engine running. the EV might be useable even when engine off.

Anyone who wishes to replace their old radiator to new one(better version) can go SC at Bandar Baru Bangi, but takes time up to a month because need to queue, just go and order first. Older eb radiator prone to break at hose connector. If never service there before, just bring service record book to prove u are still in warranty.

Most SC say they will only change if its broken  shakehead.gif as no recall letter from Proton. Imagine if u drive at night in remote area then radiator fails how? Especially with family and malaysia isnt safe. At fb group almost everyday got ppl complain about their radiator

section 3 bandar baru bangi?

Was at the proton karnival yesterday, the new exora bold and inspira radiator tip in question have been revised to  metal. This will solve the issue of the tip breaking off but metal being highly heat conductive , will it not melt away the plastic housing?
*
should be no. even now the hot water has direct contact with the plastic header but we don't hear any issue with melting

different segment already. potential iriz users might be tempted with EB standard if they are looking to add more family members in near future. but single just grads will ought to get iriz

Until we know how to measure spring rate, the feeling of 'improved handling' by just changing spring is vague.
What aspects of the stock handling do you want to improve? Body roll? Under\over steer? Bumpiness?
*
+1

you need to know what to improve. stock handling is already great. once you change to lowered spring, the centre of gravity is lowered down, car will behave differently already. maybe become better, maybe worse.

A few problems I am having now, hope if you guys can shed some light:
1. In the morning when the engine is still cold, I will drive the car anyway. I noticed when I do a right turn, there will be a loud roar coming from the left engine side.

2. Engine bay\CVT rattling sound. This happens when I am driving slow, and release the throttle. There will be this slow dangling-like rattling sound coming from outside of the car, feels like from engine bay area also. Like something is hanging loose.

i have rattling in the morning when the engine is quite cold. I think engine mounting gone already. thats quite bad considering just 2+ years on the road
