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.

I believed just recently u hv oil leaking.no prob bro..if your oil sump case or engine case doesn't hv crack sure P1 sc can reseal back.my advise u need to check oil level frequently just don't let it get below than lower level indicator..what version do u currently use then?
*
Thanks bro. Takut2 minyak kering also. hehe.. On january 2014 - update to V13.2

QUOTE(zaidi @ Jun 10 2014, 09:05 PM)
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
*
Nope, the 2 above is just for comparison. What he really looking at is the different length of the tip and the electrode.

QUOTE(blo0dLuSt @ Jun 11 2014, 12:40 AM)
Haha .  btw i heard u changed to suprima steering. How about the airbag? And the HU control?
Thanks.
Frm what i heard they are still testing the facelift. Launch date could be early 2015. Hopefully the DRL headlamp is PnP with current EB. tongue.gif
And the year after that(2016) new mpv will be researched from ground up.
Not using EB base, NA powertrain ( petronas engine) that hav clever tech like vtec.
This is what i cn get from my friend. wink.gif
*
Vtec? Interesting, maybe something like CPS mechanism on intake and exhaust too is most likely. Curently CPS only apply on intake system for CAMPRO SP4H.

that's is some real power gain under your hood only change the filter can reduce 13.3s to 12.7s rclxms.gif
I never try to record my eb performance using gps yet
Maybe later
But from my feeling after small mod it's a lot responsive compare to stock item/eb on road.

Recent hobby with my eb:
i) When I’m in front of the line at traffic light, sprint/pull away from others when green light turn ON and view it from rear mirror
ii) Overtake slow car at right lane
iii) Boosting sound in the tunnel/parking inside shopping mall
iv) Give a way to other mod car/crazy road user (observation based on exhaust sound & speed maybe some exterior mod & driving style: need experience to judge on other car/road user) then follow him or overtake him after 30 secs/1min ahead from me. after pass them, then I notice they will drive slowly at constant speed
v)  ohmy.gif

Other eb user may have different hobby, e.g.watching Live TV in their eb or other activity care to share  smile.gif

No 3 is rclxm9.gif . Same here bro. Turbo boost beside others car and they will slowly down. Hahaha.

Haven't faced this issue....
Last time mine was when I put R and D few times, it will show like it is dyeing off or jerking...

My Car is now more than 2 yrs and ran only around 25,000km.
Just recently faced 2 issues but still waiting to see whether it is a one off issue or will it re-occur...

1. Tried to switch On the Aircon as usual in the Drive mode. But no response. The rear one was already On and working fine. Tried On and Off few times, but still no response. No extraordinary indicators or warnings in the Panel. Then I tried to put the Aircon to Speed 4 and could see that it was working fine. Then tried to put back to 1 and it was okay. Stopped the Car and tried again and everything was perfect.

2. Done a Car wash by myself and cleaned the Rims nicely with the Car Shampoo...
Next day morning, started the Car and tried to move to D, the Car didn't move at all....
Then I accelerated until above 3k rpm(I guess), then the Car started to move with a sound (not sure from where it came...).
I think the Brakes might have got jammed after the Car Wash.....

Anybody here have the same experience?
*
1. Not sure about this, but i hear from somewhere before it's something to do with Aircon speed sensor itself.
2. CFE or CPS? Why i'm asking because CFE got 4 Disc brake while CPS got 2 Disc 2 Drum brake. The disc brake itself will rusty overnight after washing, if you didn't drive it after wash. What happen is brake pad is sticking with rusty disc brake surface, specifically handbrake. Just drive like normal i think.

There was once I decided to open my hood to refill the wiper water reservoir. To my surprise I found one of my own cat just chilling in the engine compartment. Imagine if I were to start the engine and drive off without knowing the cat was in there. Dangerous  rclxub.gif
How much does it cost? and won't it affect the air flow?

Price?wont it affect the engine?i mean the engine heat.

Last time i ask around RM400++. Aerodynamic air flow show be better for car, but not sure inside the engine. Better install Strut bar 1 set if with that price. drool.gif drool.gif

Correct me if i'm wrong, yes its something hot burning inside engine compartment. But NO, its not fire burning but any oil type residue from parts that heat up, example like exhaust, manifold, new hot plastic burning smell or seal. If you only drive short trips it can hang around longer until you cook it all off. Also i hear some cases where this smell come inside cabin from Aircon fresh air door which is not close properly. (the orange color led to control)

QUOTE(tehsarbat @ Aug 5 2014, 11:51 PM)
my last visit to SC was last month for my 35K service. the SC did mention changing something, but not the radiator. it's the turbo hose to the radiator and some fuel pump hose. if i'm not mistaken there's three items, and it's implicated for the 1st batch only. mine's in the list.
what the SC told me, if any BOLD come in, firstly they will check the batch number, and automatically make the order for this items if it's in the record. under warranty. instruction from HQ. at present my hoses are still reliable. they just want to up great the quality. nod.gif
*
Tq for the info my fren. So the list to check for my next week services is:
1. Radiator
2. Turbo hose
3. Fuel pump hose

I think something about oil to water cooler hose need to check too. This mine which i take 3 month ago.

QUOTE(arza04 @ Aug 5 2014, 08:51 PM)
From what I read, they only change to new type if you got problem with your current radiator. If no problem, no change sad.gif
My warranty left few months only ..
*
"DO" something before warranty end. I mean snap the hose joint a little while on the way to SC then claim, but really this is not a option. sweat.gif



QUOTE(sKypRiNcE734 @ Aug 6 2014, 12:27 AM)
Guys just to update,I sent my exora for 3rd service (21K) and it cost RM233 but since got voucher redemption all in came RM133,and for my side mirror,they changed it but used the same old cover.but I haven't check how is it working yet.

For my auto cruise function,they told my bro how to test at 180km/h..so they could not do anything..

My RH seat knob came out they re-order..
And yes he did mention about radiator..it's the turbo hose thing..it same now the one is plastic quality and won't last very long..

And that day I tested 210km/h top speed for my eb,but today when I was discussing with my bro,he said he did 220km/h on highway,but it took some time to reach that speed.

And,for my cvt light on for 12 times they said need to leave the car there for 2 days so my bro said next time la..cuz now need to use it for work and all..

Starting the engine much easier now,
Engine much smoother,no jerks and i dont know if they updated the ECU..my bro dint tell them..but my bro said they connected the car to the computer..hmm.
For my running on my mind is 220km/h lol..this exora really..my bro said it was very stable at that speed..
*
I think they did the update because they plug the Laptop to ECU. Did you check what version the firmware installed?

QUOTE(yakumo @ Aug 6 2014, 01:16 AM)
just want to ask, which color is a better value? EB / silver?
thanks

Silver is much better for resale, but white is good for modi.

The only 2 remaining rebadges in Proton's lineup at the moment are the Inspira and the Perdana 2nd gen.
Exora is 100% original Proton smile.gif

thanks for replying. better go for sticky LED light from Daiso. hehe.

is anyone here add other car security to your EB? is the standard factory security good enough for protection?

No la you can use any others car accessory comp light and install it in. None factory security is good enough though. Senang bypass. Invest some pedal lock and GPS tracking on mine.

I got this from Eocm group. but its not officially announced. Anyway, it true proton never make any recall on media as far i know. that's what proton lack off. But for latest pcc car, proton had sacked many problematic vendors. some of it exists since the 1st proton. another improvement is 2 car qc check everyday. that the reason why pcc delayed for 8 month.

Wow suddenly so many radiator problems being brought up lately. What happened?? rclxub.gif

edit :

Just checked my unit of EB (2013 batch with turbo emblem, bought in december).

My radiator is the plastic type.

Does anyone know what causes the radiator to fail? or anything we can do to prevent it from happening to us?

Hopefully Proton initiates a recall for the affected units.
*
Thermal fatigue and high pressure from radiator into water turbo inlet. Some say that plastic hose is too short and any vibration made by engine will move this part.
