I faced this problem too, had my abs sensor changed and my brakes hoses bleeded, however according to SC the brake light issue normally happens when  it's rainy days, water leaks in to some sensor...lol.

On another note, after service I still faced gear difficult to engage from P to D or R after long cooldown, I wonder if its the brakes itself or the brake switch at the pedal...

thx boss, will go to sc today for warranty claim. hopefully all will settle.

want to ask, for cfe turbo engine, when driving is your temperature bar is just 2 bars or 3 bars?

I have bad review for one of proton's sc... went for 10k 2nd service and they did not properly put back one of the water tank cap. I guess water starts to vaporize and my engine got hotter. Now back to normal after add in water and press on the cap properly.

The in cabin air filter also.... asked to check, they confirm they will clean it automatically even if we did not ask... but wtf is this?
*
my cfe temp bar is 3 bars. care to write the name of sc?

Clan204Proton CVT oil is not bad. Oil is a subjective thing, and in the end, a personal choice. There's a dealer around my area, you'd have to find yours, either through mudah, or lelong, or some other means.

went to proton sc yesterday for 60k km service. but i notice that price for parts in service manual is not same at sc. example cvt oil in service manual rm120++ but at sc rm170++...

Hi All, I am going to buy an Exora Bold 2013 CFE Turbo version, already access the car and the owner (direct owner) told me that there is a fan sound after off engine, it is happen almost everytime, fan run about a few minutes.

Would like to get advices from owners here, weather this is common for Exora Turbo or it has to be fix in SC later?

Thanks in advance.

this in yellow circle when on will make your gb got "sentap" when gear change. but for me only feel more berat if on that. me 2013 manufactur.

cons of having exora only fc quite high. but if you drive with full load, things or people, this is the best cheap mpv with best space and good power.

apo wrong spelling, should be all

rclxm9.gif  haha..then probably just another useless button....I think since the fan sound after engine off is common, I will just nego with the owner if he can send to SC for a inspection and maintenance on Coolant and Gear Oil before deal.

Others wise seems nothing can do, I still not sure that car fuel consumption yet, hopefully still okay for mileage 68k currently..

gb oil + gasket will cost rm400++ - 500++ depends on sc.

Well, my Exora Bold was purchased in Feb 2013.

Just reached 120,000km service interval.

Maintenance cost is rather high for me.

Engine mounting blocks and bush replaced. Cannot recall how much but easily over RM500+.

Last year, tensioner spring for turbo unit replacement about RM300-400.

01 June 2018 - one of the radiator fans failed. Replacement RM200+ (Outside shop replacement. They said I was lucky to have it last so long as the other Exoras they repaired rosak earlier).

Then late June 2018, water pump koyak. That one already almost RM500.

This is all wear and tear, apparently.

Not to mention the 60,000km major service intervals requiring:-

CVT oil and filter change RM300+

4 Spark plugs if from Proton SC RM300+ (I bought Mitsubishi NGKs instead for RM200) Look for Iridium spark ILKAR7G7 model spark plugs

Regular service [every 5,000km as I use semi-synthetic only] engine oil, filter and labour is RM200+

I only use the Exora around the city for work and picking up kids daily, daily mileage is about 60km. Once a while, an outstation trip on highway.

So I don't think that maintenance of an Exora is cheap!
*
yup maintenance for exora quite high... even normal service 5k km easily rm200++, but you got cheap cvt service price... i got rm400++ because sc not following proton service price part. luckly my exora only use for long distance with 6-7 ppl. mileage only 65k km today.

Batteryman test voltage 12.8V is when engine is off? Or running? This is a new battery voltage, when engine not running. Ideally, should be above 12.6V when cold.
When engine running, and shows anything between 13.6 - 14.4V is very good.

running engine 12.8v...

That bad ar.. I was thinking of buying either or exora, avanza or innova as it similar price.

depends on your usage la, exora comfort for 7 people adult but avanza abit cramp at last row seat, exora best driving experience not goyang compare to avanza, but fuel saving and power more to avanza as my avanza can climb hill at my kebun easily. actually my exora not many problems only this battery/alternator. other than that no major problem.
