Guys, just come to know from a friend of mine who also own an EB(~2years) that has replace his EB "steering shaft" for 3rd time & he told me Proton aware of this issued.

Understand that those EB which can't hold on to the center of the steer then we should check the "steering shaft" mount with an rubber holder(as per attached photo). Asked someone to steer in the car & observe from the right side of engine compartment to see is the shaft freeing move!!! My is freeing move & my friend told me this is mild & his 1 is very serious... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Will log an complained & hope they can have it fix when I did my 10K service... notworthy.gif

I just checked my battery voltage just now when I got home. I got home and shut off the car at 5.30pm.

At 6pm, I plugged in my OBD adapter to monitor the voltage.

Before start up, voltage was 12.3V.
During start up, voltage dropped to 11.0V.
When engine is running, voltage was at 14.0V.

Is this normal?

I have yet to try out the voltage during cold start. Will report back when I have done so.

I bought a flip key for EB online. Just need to go duplicate your key teeth at a keysmith, then transfer over all the components of the remote (board, battery, immobiliser chip) into the designated slots in the flip key biggrin.gif

I think the flip key feels significantly more solid in the hand than the original EB key. The flip key has quite an amount of heft compared to the hollow plasticky feel of the original key.

Plus can show off the flip key mechanism to friends just because it looks fancy  brows.gif  brows.gif

Now I switched back to shell. I found that Petron did improve the the fuel economy for a few tanks. After that it's back to normal fuel consumption again.

Also, I have pumped 3 times with Petronas RON95 (all 3 different locations). I find that Petronas makes the car's vibration intrude into the cabin more obvious.

I'm not sure if this is mind over matter or what, but I feel that Petronas makes the car feel a little bit underpowered too when compared to Shell, Petron and BHP.

Hi there, my name is Adrian.
I am also a proud owner of the new Exora Bold Turbo flex.gif

I would like to report my findings after switching from Shell to Petron.
Please note that my Exora is not a daily driven car ,its used only during weekends and used "only when necessary".
So it encounters less traffic jam conditions

I have been following your advice to try out Petron and it seems to improve FC on mixed driving.

Previously was on Shell and the FC was above 11litre/100km (pure city drive) . It (Shell) did went to near 8litres/100km on 100% long distance run (Subang - Setiawan) but the moment we hit the traffic jam + some idling,it shot back up to near 11litres/100km. However i noticed the FC is scary if its on Shell and purely 100% city drive.

Now as i reported, after using 2 fill up of Petron, it last clocked at 10.7Litres/100km This included 2 trips to KLIA2 to and fro, some city driving conditions (over the weekends), with 6 adults + baby. And oh, i try to keep my itchy foot as gentle as possible (okay la, sometimes got itchy play with the turbo)

Overall, i find getting below 11L/100km is acceptable for its size, weight, and turbo power. FYI my sis's 2.0L Kia Sportage SUV (old version with Hyundai Beta II engine) is getting slightly worse FC Than the Exora in town driving (and more underpower than Exora)


Thanks YouDontKnowMyName.

No problem bro.

I've been wanting to try out Caltex for awhile now. Too bad caltex stations aren't as easy to find around the places I frequent. Heard many good stories about caltex hmm.gif

Currently switching between Shell and Petron, whichever is more convenient smile.gif
