Greetings sifus..

Newbie here.. Will get eb premium cocoa grey hopefully by this week.. Originally ordered the gold one but my sa told me has to wait longer.. Only grey and plum red available.. Something to do with proton limiting the stock for 2014 (this wat the sa told me).. opted for grey instead.. Kenot tahan already.. Need advice of some q..
1. Any specific things to check upon receiving the car? The bag net, remote control for dvd should be included too, no?
2. What gift should I choose? This eb should already come with tinted glass right? Stock tint to clear?

Thanks in advance for any reply. Will update again when received the car..

Check for serial number whether the one on your car matches the one on the paper. Check for any scratches, dents and scuff marks. Make sure everything is functioning (headlights, signal, hazards, rear defogger, fog lamps, wipers, interior lights etc)

Yes it should come with the boot netting and remote control for dvd unit in a plastic bag.

I'd say the stock tint should be good enough for regular users. Mine is currently on stock tint and I think it's already good enough for me. No issues in terms of quality or workmanship either smile.gif

Already happened as of 48k km :

oil cooler hose problem ( solved but not satisfied )
aircon actuator malfunction ( solved )
firewall insulator shredded ( solved )
oil control valve ( solved )
both headlamps inside got water (solved)
one of the rear brake light is dim (solved)
air con belt/timing belt squeaking ( i suspect the tensioner, common problem)
fuel lid hard to open (solved)
ABS indicator lit ( i suspect the abs sensor, again common problem )
Rear view mirror very loose, and rear cam blur (solved)

Yet to happens :

the radiator ( waiting for recall  yawn.gif why proton is taking so long )
brake/break switch??
cvt ( i really hope dont kena after warranty over  sweat.gif )

Maybe the radiator recall they are waiting to gather more stock before they issue a recall.
Otherwise later customers complain why no radiator immediately available when they send in for the recall laugh.gif

I only face this problem when both my front and rear air cond blowers are at full blast. Then I repeatedly press on the brakes (lets say, coming out of a parking lot). The brakes might harden up. Maybe not enough power to regenerate the brake pump. Which has happened I think once or twice.

The newer models with the electric vacuum pump is said to have solved this problem though.

Hopefully November 4th will be the day thumbup.gif

Sigh, waste of time.

Their mechanic BS his way through, didn't fix anything. Told me the noises are caused by worn\uneven tires.
The service technician complain to me, say it's Friday, why I come in with so many complains.

And, most importantly, the radiator replacement was denied. Say they need to re-order the copper plug.

- Customer Service: Poor, didn't inform me the radiator replacement was denied, had me wait there for 2 hours.
- Technician\Mechanic: Poor, don't offer solution to my problems. Blame the problems on wear and tear.

Terrible. If I recall, you can complain to Proton WeCare to get your problem notified by the management.

They're obviously just lazy and don't wanna layan you doh.gif

Hi bro,

The price i mentioned was quoted by a accessory shop included installation, not DIY. As for DIY, I might get its from online store which cost less then $50 for 5 cables /set and do it myself... LOL

Btw, sorry to know that u been wasted time in SC today. They really taking up time to handle problem, my last visit appointment @ 9am but I waited for the queue untill 935am then handover my bold. While waiting for my friend pick up, i seated there till aroun d 12 noon but notice my bold just seated there at the parking area without any action... doubt when then start checking my bold and I return around 5pm to pick up my car but problems seem not really done.

1) High fuel consumption - claimed they had done it, dunno, still monitoring
2) Reverse engine died - claimed they had tackle it, dunno as yet to encounter again
3) Fuel cover stuck if push too hard when close - dif kind of stuck now while will need to fix it next round
4) dashboard seem have sound - claimed need another full day or 2 to check.
5) Rear bumper missing screw - Ordering the screw and bracket and need to wait a week, need to pay even its missing 2 days after i got my bold. Yet to received call from them and will call and ask.
6) Alignment running to left - saw a Indian guy was doing alignment when i pick up my car, seem its better and no charge
7) Radio stop sometime and the volume vary on dif channel (87.8 louder, 92.1 & 92.8 softer) - still the same
8) Wiper stop in the middle during operation - claimed fix but still encounter the problem
9) Ground cable bracket area rust - cleaned the area and so far so good
10) Front bonnet uneven after close, got sound when move it - yet to fix and on next round.
11) Remote key distance not far, above 1 car distance not function - SA claimed its security measure. Any advice?

Guess if problem continuing unfix, calling I-care or wecare might help.

Beside, I just checked on Yes web page, there a statement said any new proton car purchased from 1st Oct 2013 till 31st Jan 2015 entitled for the Yes huddle bundled with 1 year free subscription, but  my S told me NO, wonder why while will check out further.
*
If yours is the premium, then you should be getting the YES huddle.
Not sure about the standard variant though

I noticed my middle row left side passenger got squeaky sound when going over bumps or making hard turns.

I suspect the sound is coming from the plastic housing beside the seat which is rubbing against the leather.

Hopefully SC can help me fix it during my next service hmm.gif

1) I usually use Ron95 but last 2 week I did tried 2-3 tank of Ron 97 when going outstation but its doesn't seem giving very good FC. Usual a full tank of 95, its can only last me less then 400 km... What they always said how heavy footer we are but I would say how soft footer we shd then to archieve the low FC (tried these few days, the FC raise easily above 13-19.9  even we not really pressing the pedal) Will continue monitoring it. Btw, I felt b4 my 1K service, the FC seem better as I did a trip to KL and back, guess I managed to get above 600 but recently 550 the most loh, even with Ron 97. I use Mobil 10-40 semi during my 1K service!
2) I did do it steadyly. My last encounter was doing a 3 points turns while shifting to R, engine died unnoticed, after pedal press and nothing happen, then only i knew it... LOL!
8) How to explain on the wiper, may be during stop at junction or when shifting to neutral, sometime i encounter it still move up a bit and stop at 1/3.
10) I knew about it and did tried to tuning the stopper but no success... the S said next round will ask the foreman to do something on the middle hook.
11) I does mean to have a very far distance but just a car distance seem very near for me loh.

Anyway, just call SC and my screw & bracket for my rear bumper had arrived, appointment this wed to fix it as well as other things in doubt. Will keep u posted.

Wiper stop functioning when car is stopped (at junction or during jam) is normal. It's part of the Body Control Module (BCM) features.

I noticed the wipers on mine will only "stop at 1/3" when I accelerate abit then stop again repeatedly. Maybe the system is confused whether to turn on the wiper or not laugh.gif

My Bold odometer already pass 60k, i'm in dilemma whether to sent to SC or just service outside workshop. My warranty finish February 2015. So far my EB face 2 issue, oil leak and ABS sensor, already fix both. It is mandatory to replace the spark plug at 60k? i'm out of budget this month.

I think you should send for one last 60k km service at SC smile.gif

Regarding the Petrol brand effect on overcrank problem, so far I have been on Petron for 2 weeks already. Overcrank happened twice within 14 days when using Petron.

Compared to overcrank happen 4 times within 10 days when using Shell.

Still need to continue observing and see how it goes...

LOL nipple. what a way to call it tongue.gif

Hmm still must place order even just for that nipple? Also have you changed yours yet?

I wonder if they let me change even though there's nothing wrong with my current radiator..

Some even say they change the radiator head. Also got people say only can if your vehicle in Proton recall list  rclxub.gif Too little and unreliable info i got here, call your sc for confirmation

Just made booking for 10k km service on 19th November at Shah Alam CoSE.

Things that I plan to highlight to them

1. Radiator nipple change to the new metal type
2. Over crank problem
3. Left 2nd row passenger seat squeaky sound when hard turn or go over bumps (I think its the plastic hand lever housing rubbing against the leather)
4. Update ECU/TCU (if there is new version available)
