Proton recalls three models to fix cooler hoses
SHAH ALAM: Proton Holdings Bhd will recall almost 100,000 units of its Exora, Preve and Suprima models to fix the CFE oil cooler hoses starting Tuesday.

Its chief executive officer, Datuk Abdul Harith Abdullah, said these models faced problems of the oil cooler hoses, which would break down when the cars reach an average mileage of 40,000 kilometres (km), due to the degration of internal hose/tube material.

"We will call the owners and the priority will be given to the cars with mileage of 40,000 km and above. We hope to finish this in the next six months," he told reporters at the preview of the new Proton Perdana here on Tuesday. - Bernama

Does anyone know where is this "oil cooler hoses" in the engine compartment of the car? Is it this big hose as highlighted below?


Not sure how the oil cooler hose will degrade. I suppose when they mentioned the hose will "degrade", the hose will break and show cracks? What is the effect when that happened? Engine sound louder? Car will lose power?

Hi my preve battery suddenly ‘kong’ out and the shop didn’t have 55D23L (stock model). They installed NS70 battery instead. Will there be any issue? Thanks

Cant start my Preve once again after left it for 1 week. Is this electrical issue that drain the battery too fast or battery issue? Light can still on mean battery still has charge, just not enough amp to crank.

Last week battery shop guy charge asked me 20 ringgit for jump. My car is just behind his shop. Cant do this every week.

Cannot see any sponge inside.
