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.

2nd hand... Metal type radiator I still can change at SC right? Brake booster electronic pump what does it help?

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.

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

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?

that is a very accurate explanation.

weird, after service the car doesnt felt like the same, engine slightly noisy and not so smooth

you sure thats the problem? Mine EB 2015 had noise too when accelerate slowly n let go. Ask SC to check in the end they identified its a gearbox mounting problem. After changing it no noise at all... Accordingly common problem for EB 2015 model.

Hmm, then I need to check again with them, let me drive abit more and identified a few more issues. Can I know when you mentioned that change, check the whole gear box or change the mounting?

I think mine also got the gearbox mounting problem. When at low speed (gliding), got krukk krukk krukk sound doh.gif

Those who had their gearbox mounting changed, how long did it take for the service?
*
waited 2 weeks for parts and it took 2 hrs to change.
