hi sifus... I plan to get a 2013 exora (due to budget)... anything I should be aware off?

Brand new or 2nd hand unit?

Newer Exora (from April 2014 onwards) have some extra stuff. Such as a brake booster electronic pump, and a new metal type radiator.

Yes the radiator, i think all mean is the copper nipple that connected to the turbo-radioator outlet instead of the old version just using the normal plastic that cant sustain the heat.

Brake booster it is the plus point for this heavy car. 1st The car brake will improve and less rolling back issue if the car on the step hill.

If the condition and the price ok to u, u may proceed ahead with the 2nd hand car. Better to have a new car to get all the latest features and save all the headache later.

Clock 500km now. so far so good. And I agree, the cooling fan noise is quite loud, especially when we turn off the engine. Ppl keep asking, what is the sound from..hah.

waiting for 1000Km to service...any advise for engine oil? normal mineral oil or semi synthetic?

Metal type radiator can change at SC under Proton's recall program.

The brake booster pump is for hill-hold assist feature and stronger brakes.

Mine is 2013 unit too, don't have the pump either but I have been driving perfectly fine with it. It's not a necessity, its just a bonus if you have it smile.gif

10.4 is quite good already. need a light foot to achieve such figure.
my record is so far for mixed driving is 10.6l/100km on Petronas and Petron, but mostly steady highway driving mixed with some city driving conditions to get such figure.

to achieve such good fc, i think you must be constantly off turbo boost driving at constant speed and away from traffic jams.

Think about 2~3 weeks? I think after Paultan announce the thing, immediately they run out of stock.

SleeplessEyesl3iTiMy mixed driving can easily get below 10L/100km. Once stuck in jam, can go up to 12~13.
You need to activate the turbo to get good FC. Trying to stay under 2k RPM will only run the engine at low compression ratio, which means poor efficiency, and a lot of clutch slip.

Read this article: Energy Efficient Driving
I think 'Pulse and Glide' works on EB. That's how I manage below 10.

Hi, Exora CPS reporting in. Currently at 77,000+. Bought in 2011.

1: I want to know what's the problem when all 4 brakes makes screeching sound?

2: Whenever I drive past speedbumps / tiny bumps / tiny potholes, front side makes "knock-knock" sounds...

I have similar problems like yours.
1 - brake dust, worsen during rainy days where brake disc rusts. My trick is to splash the discs with water before drive off. You'll see lots of fine dust floating off with the water.

2 - Can't figure out where the noise come from yet. Turn off engine, shake the whole car cannot detect the noise, only when driving. rclxub.gif

Thanks sifu. The price Im being offered is rm49k. With RM20k difference i guess i will skip the hill-hold assist features. Btw does 2013 model have 5 years warranty?
