QUOTE(ir5 @ Jan 27 2016, 03:45 PM) hahaha it's quite creative, cheap and fast solution for interim corrective action ;p QUOTE(alexei @ Jan 27 2016, 04:04 PM) Serious. It needs to be accessed from engine bay. That's quite an ingenious solution imo. Mad props to him That cable tie trick is used for brake hoses, intercooler passage, and oil hose.

QUOTE(EBMC2 @ Jan 27 2016, 05:20 PM) This is what their reply when I am asking for official statement regarding this issue as this is a safety issues that can bring international attention, especially in Australia. Also probably in Chile soon as Proton is now in the process of getting into Chile automotive market (Few units is now under testing by Chile authorities, left hand drive). I am now demanding them to answer all of my question which basically about (1) official statement on safety issue (2) massive recall as this is manufacturing failure (3) special warranty coverage which is the cost free to user (4) proton must be responsible for the damages caused by the failure of OCH including car replacement, new engine oil, cleaning of affected engine compartment, engine failure [overhaul or engine repair] and (5) the recall must be without any condition where all unit must be changed either with or without pre-failure symptoms. Wait so have they found a solution to the problem yet? If replace already but the problem will still recur again, then that's not very ideal is itSalam Sejahtera, » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(tehsarbat @ Jan 27 2016, 07:02 PM) omg, suddenly it become a hot issue now after the radiator nipple issue. i though there's no more serious thing. almost 2 pages to this matters alone. Suddenly a large number of people facing the same thing. Doesn't seem like isolated incidents to me.. Might be due to the scorching hot weather lately putting lots of stress on that particular hose  |

QUOTE(EBMC2 @ Jan 27 2016, 08:38 PM) They said that there is an improved version of the oil cooler assy, but it was yet proven for its reliability and durability. Since many affected users are now outside of warranty period, that is why I am demanding proton to take responsibility, not user. There are many cases that users have to pay for the replacement part (650-710 ringgit malaysia) although Proton is now indirectly agree that the older version of the assy is not to the par (by changing the part number, and the alert in internal buletin). Ah. At least its good to know that they are well aware of the issue. Just hoping that an official recall will be announced as soon as possible  Thanks for elaborating  |

There's a new article on paultan regarding the CFE engine's oil cooler hose issue.
QUOTE “Proton is addressing the issue. Consumers are advised not to change or modify the component on their own. Please come back to us, get original parts from us. Custom jobs can void the car’s warranty,” he added. The custom job referred to in this case is the use of braided metal hoses to replace the original rubber items on the oil cooler unit. Of course, I can't share the link here directly because reasons so you guys can go check it out for yourselves On its official Facebook page, Proton has officially acknowledged the issue, and said that it’s currently working on a fix. Stay tuned for updates on this matter." Quite ridiculous imo. We wouldn't have to do "custom jobs" if it wasn't such a widespread problem and your so called original rubber hose isn't even good enough. It's like driving around with a ticking time bomb that's ready to go off any minute. Of course lah we would rather take matters into our own hands This post has been edited by YouDontKnowMyName: Jan 29 2016, 02:40 PM |

Just went and tried to check the oil cooler hose on my EB. It's pretty hard to take a good look at it, plus it's quite difficult to get my phone camera in there to snap a pic.
This is the best I've got. Looks like its still fine though.  |

QUOTE(ir5 @ Jan 29 2016, 04:39 PM) basically, where is the location ya?? need to crawl down the engine to see it? It's somewhere around the back of this circled area. It's not easy to get a good look at it, and it's also not easy to get your phone camera in there to get a good shot.I think it might be easier to jack up the car and see from underneath. Not sure though  |

QUOTE(zariel @ Feb 4 2016, 07:15 PM) Hi This doesn't sound normal to me, although it must be said that the CVT box in the EB really is quite crappy. Lots of weird noises and jerky as hell Just collect my eb.. everything is superb except one: upon releasing the brake pedal at speed above 20kmh, 1 out of 4 times, there will be a "tak" sound somewhere around front bonet. Really anoyying. Went to a service centre and they said it is normal with cvt. Does anybody know what is it? Want to complaint during my first service. |

QUOTE(EBMC2 @ Feb 5 2016, 06:45 AM) Symptoms: Difficult and bit jerky when changing gears from n to p or vice versa. Tak tak sound when at low speed (~20kmh) whenever deceleration occurs with punch cvt jerking profile. Obvious rubberband effect of cvt at hihger speed. I think mine might have this symptom. It's not really a tak tak tak sound, but rather a kruk krukk krukk sound when coasting at 20kmh Diagnosis : Cvt monting failure. Treatment: Change the mounting with addition of washer at the cvt bracket. After repair: No jerking at all. No problem in changing gears and less rubberband effect. Fast response cvt and quieter than before repair. |

QUOTE(anarkin @ Feb 15 2016, 10:51 PM) Yes bro mine is a Turbo (I think August 2015-Dec 2015 Batch)... I never really looked into street driving... but from what I realised Street Driving memang heavy consumption.... coz on highway can manage 500-6-- on full, but on street usually much less.... not sure how much less exactly Usually it's about 400km per tank for me in city driving, while it's around 550-600km per tank for 100% highway drive I have a heavy foot though This post has been edited by YouDontKnowMyName: Feb 15 2016, 11:48 PM |

QUOTE(MPIK @ Feb 16 2016, 11:27 AM) too sad, if it is really 350km for full tank (which is 55 litres), that's really really bad fuel consumption (approx 15.7l/100km). For me it's about 400km for 50 litres. Which isn't good by any means either |

QUOTE(anarkin @ Feb 16 2016, 09:07 PM) sorry for n00b question.... but my Turbo Exora Bold not affected by this exercise right? EB Turbo is the one that is affected in this recall  QUOTE(anarkin @ Feb 16 2016, 09:09 PM) Dude how come at my service center they asked me to use FULL synthetic oil ? each SC different recommendation kah? Btw my full syn more expensive 250 plus Some SC just wanna squeeze more money out of you. Semi synthetic is good enough really. |
