QUOTE(dares @ Oct 16 2015, 04:45 PM) You guys have a very misguided understanding of how VVT works  ...VVT doesn't "kick-in". That torque surge at 4k RPM has nothing to do with VVT, it simply is just the characteristic of a DOHC Campro engine, with or without VVT. QUOTE(babisotong @ Oct 16 2015, 04:51 PM) Maybe they think VVT is the same with VTEC engine huhuhu QUOTE(Cwkc93 @ Oct 16 2015, 04:52 PM) actually that's what I thought at first, didn't know it's just the Dohc characteristics Haha, that's why I  from the start Thanks dares.

QUOTE(adijb @ Oct 16 2015, 04:03 PM) Estimate price? Isn't PS3 more expensive than XM2? Someone on Iriz FB page manage to get them for rm200 per donut. Thats klang valley area. If sarawak here we'll have to pay arm and leg for michelin since it's worshipped by many as the best tyre here.

QUOTE(Operationcwal @ Oct 16 2015, 06:51 AM) Do you guys get the brake pedal tension readjused during the 1st service? I need to pedal to great extend and feel like the pedal is almost touching the floor. Also reminder: do stick two of your weather protector rubber on top of the roof with better quality double sided tape as they could easily come off! Ihad this issue when i took the delivery of my iriz. I almost hit another car On the 2nd day of driving it. had to floor the pedal to stop. send back to SC on 3rd day and they said they just bleed the excess air from the brake line. then everything works just fine.

QUOTE(kpchoo29 @ Oct 16 2015, 03:52 PM) My iriz alignment is off and I expect they will fix it for me on my 1st time service. But they said they wont fix it for me, they will only normal checking. They ask me to go other car service center instead. Is that normal? yes its normal, dealers wont bear the cost. go to proton edar service centre. They might bear the cost. where are you located btw?

QUOTE(heavy rain @ Oct 15 2015, 10:49 PM) Drove my car on the highway last week, speed between 120-140 kmh and i can feel the steering wheel vibrating. The problem is i already done balancing and aligment my tire around 1 month ago. emmm... you hantam holes alot? send back to SC, check the lower arm and try doing high speed balancing. Maybe that will help check your tyre pressure too, should be 210kPa

I send in my car to them for warranty claim.My handbrake light 1 month later only they call me to come collect i didnt go till now, reason why? simple, i went to proton edar sungai besi on the spot they change for me the handbrake sensor.

Apparently after 500km done on my car, the brake was superbly good. I presume its the first layer of the brake lining when you get the car new. Its not a serious issue once the brake pads are in good order

Guys!!! CVT users, when I go downhill (for my case, at Damansara Heights near HELP Uni, that stretch of downhill road), and the car is in "D" so going downhill I take my foot off the accelerator pedal.. When the car rolling downhill, the engine becomes super loud. Like really really loud, and the RPM goes up to around 3k (accelerator pedal is not touched) Is it like that? The sound makes me super worried, so i'm forced to press the brakes to slow the car down, and cant cruise with speed down that downhill slope.. The noise it makes is as if, the car is going uphill instead. But not even pressing the accelerator pedal. This post has been edited by LordDenning: Oct 16 2015, 06:37 PM

The noise it makes is as if, the car is going uphill instead. But not even pressing the accelerator pedal.  Normal because the engine break is applied on that condition, if you drive manual also the same For example you currently using 3rd gear at 3k rpm then you go downhill without pressing the Throttle pedal, the engine noise will be loud.. i don't know if this true or not but based on what i read, the engine breaking is applied on that condition.. Unless if you change your gear to Neutral then the sound will be gone.. If i'm wrong please correct me thx..

But not even pressing the accelerator pedal.  It's a well-known characteristic of Proton's CVT gearbox. The downhill braking is very sensitive. The higher rev doesn't make you go faster, but tries to slow you down instead. If you gently step on the accelerator it'll be less prevalent, but still noticeable. If you want to totally avoid downhill braking, the only way is to shift to N. However, you'll adding a lot more stress on the brakes which will lead to brake fade.

Just did 1k service at Proton Mutiara Damansara, Things get rectified are:
1) Audio imbalance sound system 2) Dashboard Rattling Sound 3) Adjusting alignment
Opt for semi e.oil. The guy over the counter said can go up to 5,000KM but at the display show 9,000KM more for the next service.
Send at 9.30AM get at 5.00PM due to dashboard vibrating problem. Overall satisfied with the service.
Total Damage RM141.23

Btw for the dashboard rattle, is your noise from the left side, near the passenger airbag side? If same place rattling noise, then for my first 1k i wanna go there too if they can rectify the rattling noise..
