Just got the exora bold turbo premium.
Excellent value for the money RM72.2k (counted 5.8k rebate).
Complaint so far:
1. the cooling fan noise after switched off the engine is very loud !!! my whole house can hear it ... 2. difficult for me to drive at max 2000 rpm, torturing drive !!! can't wait to whack the turbo after 1000km...

QUOTE(ir5 @ Jan 5 2015, 04:13 PM) what's the relation with Shell Petrol???wondering... i think its not the petrol brand caused our friend's problem. i do used shell once awhile and i don't have such a problem. yes, i do feel a bit differ when i pumped caltex/bhp, smoother and better pick-up when floored the throttle.

I found that the gearbox/engine feels more free-revving after the first 1000km.. before that, the engine feels like it's struggling to go above 2000rpm, although can feel the turbo kick in already

QUOTE(alexei @ Jan 3 2015, 07:25 AM) Yesterday changed steering rack. Suggest you all have it checked, too. Take note, tehsarbat. Hi Alexi, Mind to adv how could U convince the SC to change for U?? Cos I did show mine to my SC which the steering "holding rubber coupling" can't hold the shaft when we steer left & right(shifting) but the foreman claimed Exora is design in this way...

Check page 14. It was the alignment tech who justified it. I didn't try and convince him, though I was hoping that is not a problem. I personally prefer less things needing a change for my EB... Even after it was changed, the steering rack still has flexible freeplay towards either side. I can (try) take a video for reference here, since I just had it changed last week.

I did personally asked the foreman at Penang main SC at Jln Makloom while he claimed that its designed such way whereas there freeplay room for the steering instead of totally still (can't move) QUOTE(alexei @ Jan 6 2015, 01:48 PM) Check page 14.

I have a solution for you for item #2. But you might not like it. Turn on the SAT mode. It will limit your driving power slightly, but importanly, it psychologically reduces your temptation to boost. Here is the manual btw
