dua dua pun boleh

if you always run with aircon, can use 5W30 (lower coolant temp)
if always run without aircon, can use 5W40 (higher coolant temp)

Hi all sifus.. wondering is there anyone here know any workshop that can perform repair of Turbo problem? The "engine" light kept come and go for quite some time. Went to few workshop but none know how to service or fix, except for saying is "Turbocharger underboost".

Any workshop in KL? Bangi? Semenyih? That you all used that can recommend please us highly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi, all sifu, my exora (2015) occasionnaly need to crank more than 2 times to start. I saw in previous thread, some said it is normal, some said it is battery. I send my car to SC and after scan, the battery is normal and still ok. May I know what is the problem?

See comment for the parts to change, shopee got sell



new engine oil does that to my Exora during cold start, but after a while it will be back to normal
what happen is like this, turn on key, then crank.... it will not start
even if start, sometimes it will die

cycle the key again, it will start up like normal

one of the suspect is the VVT actuator, what I notice sometimes when I open the boot, and turn the key to 'on'
after a few seconds, the VVT intake side will have a 'klak' actuation sound

update: 130k km steering rack right side leaking, turn steering when stationary will have 'kreak' noise

got one time I realise there was a 'klak' sound after I put the key on standby, like 'nnngggg' then 'klak'. When I crank it, I failed to start. Normally it should end after 'nnnggg'.

yeah, I heard something similar, IINM it's near the intake manifold, so need to buka the hood to listen

for me, it happens quite often after an oil change, so I'm guessing because thinner oil causing the oil pressure not build up fast enough during cold start, the stock oil is 10W-30 to 15W-40... now I just use 5W-40

Come to think about it. indeed it happened after oil change. But I changed at SC. Shouldn't it be good and suitable for Exora?

nothing wrong with the oil
nothing wrong with the car

just observe and I guess this is probably the pattern of this car, haha
I'm used to it already, and sort of expect it after oil change everytime

I think i have read u tried 0w20 on Exora Turbo. Question, can I use 0w20 on 1.6 Iriz? Had extra bottle for 0w20 plan to use that

that was SleeplessEyes

Iriz is NA. Stock oil is xW-30. So I guess most of us including myself would use the 0W20.

If it is really the pattern of this car, I will not worry. Hopefully all is good. Afraid broken at roadside. That is my worry.

Did you buy a used one? Or brand new?

No. I buy second

ok, welcome to the club
suggest change oil 5k instead of 10k, that's all, the rest follow schedule, don't put engine oil additives

thanks. Many advise to change the oil at 5k, even though it is said for 10k. The car a bit not smooth at lower speed, and I have been told that the gear oil is dirty before 60k, so I change out around 55k. There was a time that the car lost power during heavy rain (i think I passed through a water puddle), I have to restart the car after that and all is good except a bit jerking. But SC just do some reset on the computer and so far all is good. Is there any method to stop it from happening?

I did this on Iriz old car. Make it sound smoothers a bit

thank you. I will give it a try later.

Clutch adaptation is another issue, or pattern, with this car

After CVT oil change, it will need a few, when cold, when hot, and then occasionally, during hard driving, the CVT durian logo will show up on the dash. It will on for half a minute, disappear for a few minutes, turn on again, and keep cycling...

When that happens, do another round of adaptation...

happened to me 2 times, both also after CVT oil change...

another CVT durian happens when driving the car off during cold, the CVT stuck at low gear, meaning the RPM will climb up but the car moves slow
don't panic, this one just off engine, restart, do adaptation, should settle

most of the time when stop at traffic light, I will do adaptation minus the reverse gear one

However, if after adaptation, the gear shift still jerking, or when you tekan brake masuk D, the car still vibrating, or when you masuk reverse, the engine lost power and died... could be engine mounting issue

Exora engine mounting, now the Proton give one is "TRIM" brand, chop on the mounting itself. This one last me the longest, so far no vibrate.
