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

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

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.

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?
