Got rain kah? Hahaha. Always dry onlyyyy.

This two days KL panas giler

Today I have something new to share with everyone. As we all know our Coil on Plug getting stuck has been an issue for who knows how long and Proton don't seem to know how to solve this problem or have any solution to it. This morning while I was going to swap out my COP to TM Works units.


I faced the same situation as the 1st time I try to remove my stock COP. THIS TIME HOWEVER...all 4 got stuck. I remember after the 1st encounter with this problem I apply some high temp rubber grease on the upper rubber part that comes in contact with the metal tube that houses the spark plug as I suspect is that part that get stuck BUT NO....I was wrong....the actual culprit was the bottom rubber that holds the spark plug. WHY it get stuck there because the rubber is in contact with the spark plug ceramic insulator and overtime the rubber becomes dry and get stuck on it.
SO THE SOLUTION...JENG JENG JENG......
When you remove the COP on the 1st time if the top part pop off don't worry, proceed to remove the center spring then you grab WD40 or any spray grease and squirt some into the center hole. This will make the spray comes in contact with the sprak plug ceramics insulator and the bottom rubber. Wiggle it a little bit and wait for a while. After that try to twist and turn the lower COP body with a long nose plier and when you can turn the whole thing. Then you can plug back in the TOP part and proceed to pull the whole COP out. Tips to easy remove is pull and turn, pull and turn. Then the COP will pop right out like a breeze.

Another more radical solution that can solve the problem forever is to use an art knife and cut away some of the inner rubber that contact with the sprak plug...Make the hole bigger so it does not hold the spark plug too tightly. No it will not cause any problem is the bottom rubber does not hold tightly.
Right is sprayed with silicone grease, left is not and its dry...

And in the process I found out Mitsubishi COP is compatible for our spark plug but the COP is similar in length and need to find out the PIN out diagram to make it work but it's only have 3 pin so probable 1 is Source, 1 is firing signal another is ground?? Hahaha What I found out is that the removal of sprak plug from Mitsubishi COP is very much easier than Proton.


Comparison between Mitsubishi and TM Works.


In the process also found out another different coil spring design. This is on COP marked with B because according to V12kompressor the different marking on the COP designate the different design of the internal parts.
Right is ori COP from proton marked A. Left is from COP marked B but also from Bosch. 


Original Top coil on right. Notice the difference on the coil plate design. A type have a flat copper contact surface. B type is with a dimple contact surface and it sits deeper into the top coil.

The second thing that I want to share with all of you is regarding our spark plug..The below is taken out from my car...These are Denso IK20 Iridium spark plug after 46k of use...Notice the most left plug? the center core is gone...that's because the engine is running too hot aka lean. Also this makes the COP rubber to get heated up and get stuck to the ceramic insulator even more....I'm changing to Super 4 and will seek advice from MAG if it's ok to use heat range 7 plug because I'm currently on 6.


No wonder my WHP drop on the dyno during yesterday run as the plug no.3 is not firing properly but on road driving you felt just a wee bit of lacking....which is not easy to tell if you are not sensitive. And FYI, no.3 is where the O2 sensor is located so...now you know

Iridium has high melting point...so they say....hahahaha 

As requested here are some piccies.

The drivers view, I use two GPSes on my tours, one map based and the other a common old street one to tell me where to go. The yellow piping is my addition, in keeping with her name Daisy.

[attachmentid=4321774]
The CVT was a major factor in purchase, I see them being very common in the near future partially due to all other transmissions trying to emulate them.
[attachmentid=4321776]
Rear seats, something I have no real use for.

[attachmentid=4321777]

Wifies seat.

[attachmentid=4321778]
Cluttered but I like toys.

[attachmentid=4321779]
Instruments, in 4.5 months that's all the driving I've done, wife has been crook since shortly after purchase, back related pain.

Hurray...

Ron95 will be Rm1.70
Ron97 will be Rm2.00
Vpower Racing will be Rm2.40

WOohoo!

hi guys , can i know what is the causes of my front passenger side door handle hard to open from outside and it have to be open from inside the car as shown in the example picture?
i went to sc and they just help me to spray lubricant type of things at the door rubber there

btw any know that is there any recall for FLX about relay at fusebox? I bought my FLX 1.3 Executive on May 2014 but doesn't seems like having any recall letter for me while my friend went and claimed the new replacement parts when he went for service last week and he told me about this.

anyway does this FLX able to fit in engine cover and how much does this cost? last time my SA told me that the gearbox is too big and the engine bonnet will hit on the cover if i want to fit the engine cover in and also any arm-rest recommend along with price(looking for those type that can still have cup holders if possible)?

Thanks for your time.    

Exora and preve engine cover is different de wo?

hot temp that the campro made?
well my bro's saga blm have the campro engine cover comes with stock eh...i think the blm's engine is also campro
so far the blm is already 5 years and still running fine
btw what is the 4...? hooks? 

Win liao lorr this turbo saga flx

Sime Tyre anytime over Silverstone.

Used the Astars before... and they were really good value for the money.

Only now.... i think Sime tyres is quite extinct.. hmmm

silverstone is energy series? i pick sime astra hahaha

I like this Sime Tyres Astar 300

I guess no longer producing...

Continental bought over Dmib and Sime tyre with a mission.

To establish Continental brand name here and get rid of competition.

Thats why you see all those big Dunlop Servitekars changed to Continental

i like ecopia...  

Guys, I just realised Proton SC did not do my 20k package service, instead they did 30k service package. So my spark plugs weren't changed. I checked my last service record receipt it was for 15k package.

Now the problem is if I were to ask them to replace spark plugs they will charge me labor fee again right? =.=

Use NGK G-Platinum cukup eh no need iridium like you    

Passenger side door wont lock if use remote. The other doors works fine.
Will only lock if use the key.

Anyone?

Ahh lets hope it return to normal

No tools 😑

Bawak pegi SC la nampaknya..
