QUOTE(tst71 @ Aug 4 2014, 08:44 AM) Oooh... Are you referring to overcrank? Happens to me every once in awhile too.3 days back need to kick in about 3 times to get the car start in the morning.. Todays faced same problems & need few time to start my EB Tested by switch Off after start & re-start seem ok with only 1 click to start... Any1 got the same problems ??? A few members have said that updating the ECU at service centre will solve the problem I only plan to get it done during my next service |

QUOTE(jackbanner @ Aug 4 2014, 04:19 PM) Brochure states top speed is 185km/h. In my experience, this is true This was done on a clear empty road which was considered flat to me. Maybe a downhill stretch might make it shoot above 185km/h? ![]() This post has been edited by YouDontKnowMyName: Aug 4 2014, 04:26 PM |

QUOTE(jackbanner @ Aug 4 2014, 04:29 PM) this is good, better than some of the 2000cc mpv. but skyprince seems to go to up to 200 km per hour and faster than 2600cc merc! I'm assuming he/she was on a downhill stretch of road to reach such speeds This is only my second time hitting top speed. I dare not go above the speed limit unless I'm absolutely certain the conditions are alright (completely empty road, good weather, no passengers) |

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Aug 5 2014, 09:57 AM) i recall some one said they actually went very high speed with L. but ya, i'm still confused by the features on this car... L gear... SAT. Many cars with CVT gearboxes have a function or a button to try to emulate a conventional auto gearbox. Not sure whats the real purpose for it, but I suppose Proton put it in there just because everyone else is doing so with their CVTs too? speaking of SAT... there must be a reason why Proton engineers put this. i'm sure its not just to emulate the old style auto gear. there must be a good reason for this, right? anyone know any situation where the SAT is actually useful? QUOTE(tst71 @ Aug 5 2014, 10:36 AM) Personally don't like the feel of the "D" with SAT mode cos can feel dashboard vibration when start to move the can from stationery. Agreed that SAT makes the car vibrate more than usual during acceleration from stop. It's the main reason why I don't use it.But yet to try "L" with SAT, cos I like the feel of "L" for uphill & low speed(<100Km/hrs) driving... I remember reading from the owner's manual that SAT does not work with L gear |

QUOTE(vjlbl @ Aug 5 2014, 11:41 AM) Hey bros... I was in hartamas yesterday trying to park into a tight spots as some #$%$@ double parked so I had to reverse a few times. suddenly my EB started to shows signs of stalling. When i got back to car 3 hours later i started my car n it stalled twice before starting up normally... Any experience on this? I recall someone facing something similar to this quite awhile ago. Others suggested to update or reflash the ECU at sc |

QUOTE(mandrew @ Aug 6 2014, 05:21 PM) Yes, went for the Webasto Hollandia 300 which is bit expensive... as for this product it comes with 3 year Warranty even for labour (meaning if leaks) and I already have 2 friends using it (1yr plus and 2yrs) with no issues. And the reviews were quite good.... Customised to the max. Nice And since I have to tear the body, didn't want to take any chances The upholstery was done in JB. They done a good job and the package also includes covering all the 8 pillars. I took the opportunity to stuff in some more sponge to all the Seats. So they re-stuffed 1 inch Sponge for the Seats in the front and 2nd row.... and it is more comfortable to sit.... |

QUOTE(-=KK=- @ Aug 10 2014, 11:32 AM) My car also same, sound from the airbag cover when pick up. Also driver chair got sound when traffic jam. Make sure u go early in the morning, they will not entertain u afternoon. They want whole day to take out the dashboard. QUOTE(rabbitkiller @ Aug 10 2014, 03:35 PM) My driver chair also got sound after 2 days i received the car.....zzzz I had the driver side chair squeaky sound problem too, complained to SC and they rectified the problem for me by lubricating the moving parts of the chair. Problem solved However, i have fixed the problem by spraying WD40 onto the moving hinges. As for the airbag cover vibration sound, my dad's friend unit had that problem too when accelerating from standstill. My own unit however does not have this problem. I believe you can try complaining to SC to see if they can do anything for you |

Regarding the brake stiffness issue, I too have that problem but only happens rarely. So far 4 instances within my ownership span of 8 months.
Based on my experience, twice it was caused by having both front and rear air cond blowers at full blast, and I pressed on the brakes repeatedly (during slow moving traffic) Other 2 times it happened when I was reversing, and also caused by me pressing on the brakes repeatedly. My guess is that it could be caused by the brake fluids not flowing properly due to engine high load or something. just guessing.

QUOTE(shoduken @ Aug 12 2014, 05:38 PM) Hi sifu here, I'd say go for the 2014 stock if possible, since the 2014 stock comes with a vacuum pump that helps with braking and hill hold assist. Plus the 2014 stock supposedly comes with the newer CVT3+ gearbox too Is 2013 stock worth purchasing? The price seem to differs between 5-6k. Any 2013 exora owner here can enlighten me please ;-) Tenkiu This post has been edited by YouDontKnowMyName: Aug 12 2014, 07:34 PM |

QUOTE(andromedia @ Aug 14 2014, 08:29 AM) Wow... took me a while to read 90+ page... If it's a plastic vibration sound, chances are that it's coming from the passenger side airbag cover, or the piece of plastic at the small quarter window of front left dash side.Got my EB 2014 sometime in end March... so far so good... some weird vibrating sound from either the passenger seat or airbag... not quite sure though, but after reading all the posts, apparently this is a problem that can be resolved. So will probably note this with the service personnel during my 20k service at CoSE. Goo service so far... Should be able to be resolved at SC |

QUOTE(sKypRiNcE734 @ Aug 15 2014, 11:11 AM) My exora is already 1 year 1 month old and so far the issues with the gearbox is Was this case related to Proton discontinuing X1R engine additive for CFE engines after finding out that it has bad effects on the engine?CVT Light ON (13times) I sent my car for 3rd service and asked to check why the light came on,they told me to leave it there for 2 days so I said nvm,next service..The reason the light came on is because of the CVT Sensor,that sensor is the one which will give problem,and sometimes,when the sensor sends wrong info to the ECU,you will lose power and can't acceralate.I already knew it was the sensor problem because all the time the ligh comes my i don't feel anything with my car. Regarding the turbo, There's on of the club members exora turbo fail..mileage 47K..he complained to SC and they said no warranty and have to pay 6.5K because he overdue service..but it turns out to be some engine oil issues that SC used it seems..actually it is under warranty,but he complained to SC and not to proton.he complained to proton then now i dont know what happen.. |
