Reason it was rejected?

Reason was i didnt Service my car on time. Cos i usually service my car weeks later than the assigned date as im using fully syn but the mileage is always over 5k abit only.

I think u can argue for your case as rusty exhaust has nothing to do with your regular service

how to argue? they keep saying warranty for exhaust is only 1 year. and its up to their goodwill to give me the replacement. i am seriously fed up with this fking proton

Are you saying that if your scheduled service is at 10,000 km, you have brought in your car with the mileage at 15,000 + km? If that is the case, doesn't sound like "a bit" to me.
*
for example. scheduled service is 6 months later or 10k km later. previously serviced on 23 august 2014 with odometer clocked at 5000km (written by them). then i did my next service on 30 march 2015 with meter clocked at 10885km. although late by weeks but bear in mind im using full syn, synthium 3000. latest service date was 17th october 2015 clocked at 15612km.

just want to know is there any possibility that the mechanics there exchange the exhaust pipe secretly? cos i have sent my car for bumper replacement and kept at the repair centre for 3 weeks. The repair centre is at bintawa, ptoton iteslf. bcos before i send in for bumper replacement my car didnt produce such kind of noise

So you have followed a service interval of 5,000 km for your car with Synthium 3000. I cannot understand why the service interval is 5,000 km for your car when you are using full-synthetic engine oil. I am using Synthium 800 and the service interval is 10,000 km.

For your exhaust pipe, no idea why they said warranty is only 1 year. It is part of the car, it should be warrantied for at least 3 years if not 5 years. THink you better send your car to COSE or lodge an inquiry or complaint on the customer service line.

Like I said, certain service centers really play by the book. Please try other service centers, sometimes the smaller ones are more helpful and understanding.

Or if they have different policy for east Malaysia, then I wouldn't know.

Any malpractice is always possible, either intentionally or unintentionally.
*
bcos they said 10k km or 6 moths whichever comes earlier. regarding the 1 year warranty, the booklet got stated there clearly. but it's crazy that my exhaust can get a big hole just by 2 years. my dad's 20 yr old van's exhaust still ok.

all these while my car was serviced at their biggest service center in KCH. but still.. shitty service. all ican tell is that the 2 service centres now are pushing blame to each other
