Greeting guys/gals, new EB owner, took the car last week, solid colour. Mileage already 1k, going to SC on this Wednesday. Overall im satisfied with performance and handling of the mpv. The only thing im going to complain is that there's some squeak sound during slow speed, less than 10km/h hearing right inside the dashboard then just disappeared above that speed. Normally from standstill to start moving can hear clearly. Any advise will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi..just got my EB Premium last week WA 4### X. Done only 300km due to raining all week.
My car also got knocking sound when going slow especially during traffic jam stop and go.
Suspected something loose near the gearbox or CV joint but the CVT behave normally.
Will check at Service Center when reach 1000km for first service.
*
This is exactly the same prob. as mine, have the issue been rectified bro, mind to share any key learning? As for mine, just done 1k service but the issue still persist and will be heading back to sc.

At that speed, I think mine shows Instant FC of <9L/100km. Only at 130kmh I hit 10L/100km.
Using fully synthetic 10W-40. Car contains only two adults and 1 kid. Need to make sure tire pressure of 36 psi. Otherwise, the FC will be +1 higher.
When fully loaded last time with 5 adults and 1 kid, the FC like yours 10L/100km at 110kmh.
*
Thanks @my plumred, I was carrying 3 adults and 1 kid at the time. Went to sc this morning with the hope of getting the engine mounting replacement, but the sa said they overtight the em previously. Hopefully no more annoying sound after this.

That was really cool @alexei, do u bought it online, how much?

QUOTE(tehsarbat @ Mar 2 2015, 11:47 PM)
either one. its depend on the stiffness of the slope. at certain degree, engaged D can hold the car from moving backward. and moved the car slowly uphill. just released the pedal brake slowly, and you will know when to apply the hand break.

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Mar 2 2015, 11:54 PM)
next time, if you face similar road condition;

1. pull your handbrake
2. foot on brake
2. slot into D
3. release foot from brake
4. release handbrake and gradually add throttle

Thank you bro's

Just done my 20K service at Penang Service center. Appointment @ 0830am, waited till 0930am only attended by the service agent while my bold seated at the cart park after noon only into service area while after released the black oil, the foreman went for lunch. My bold ended service with car wash @ around 4pm....

my mistake by making few minor complaint hence caused the service time delayed, as claimed by the service agent, if only service, they have another team to do it and shall be completed within 80 minutes else ur service will be free. Conclusion is don't mix up the complaint with regular service, as for complaint, better call / write in to i-care, its will fasten the process a lot

Few problem brought up to them;
1) Engine die during reverse - done adaptation
2) wiper rusting and request for change - rejected while only spray anti rust oil
3) side mirrow touching the body when manual fold - claimed its normal, can't do anything
4) sound when passing by uneven road or bump, suspected 3rd row @ fold - claimed its the nature of the seat @ fold as its freeing...
5) still steering to left - balancing and alignment done
*
Bro, I got the same problem with item no#1 while reversing on medium slope hill. Before pressing the brake, car moves a bit to front and engine dies, but not on a straight road, shall i make an appointment?

Yes, u better make appointment to fix it. Usually they will do software adaptation for you, perhaps its fix your issue, but some said need to change OCV valve.

Depending on which service center, I would surely call I-care to lodge report and wait for the service center to contact me for appointment due to previous encounter of delay / waiting during problem fixing on normal appointment with service center.

Noted, thks bro.

Just went for my first 1k service, although had to wait for their GST system, got them to check a nagging problem i had with my car since the 1st day.

Rattling sound when i was travelling at slow speed or when i decelerate. Got to the service centre and they checked that the engine mounting was low, when decelerate, the engine will clank the gearbox. My god!

Luckily no extensive damage. Got it fixed on the same day without charge at Pandan Indah.

Btw guys, any idea where i can buy the middle armrest + compartment for Exora Super Premium 2015? The handles on the seats are blocking if i install the old exora type armrest.

Exactly the same problem as mine, got it fixed on 1st week received it. How come the same prob. keep on rolling, don't proton aware the feedback from SC?

which branch you serviced your car?

looks like this problem is rather widespread, i hope all the SC (main proton branch, or wakil servis) knows abt this problem and can fix it, hate to go the the nearest SC to find them unaware of it.

I see, with a price tag of 78k, it's just didn't make sense to hv this kind of materials, just like u said @trapeze, we're forced to pay for this. But i noticed the new mc2 eb carpet mat are more adorable than this.

nghj I assume ur eb is the latest mc2, please correct me if I'm wrong, mine is stock premium prior to mc2. Anyway nice bro, this is the material that I'm expecting proton to deliver rather than cheap fix & go.

prob is when in heavy stop and go traffic the car intermittently jerk if suddenly decelerate/release the gas pedal
then sometime followed by single/twice 'ktack..' sound coming from the left of engine compartment.

Looks like the same issue with me & some of the user here, which is the mounting prob. Bring to sc bro, let them hear the sound & definitely they'll know the issue. Scrollback few pages, we had discussed this earlier.

bro sKypRiNcE734 wow, salute you, at full loading with family you still can race with bmw rclxms.gif
