hi guys

did you smell some petrol smell inside cabin every time you filled up at petrol station and it gone like within 2-3 min after driving around with windows down? is this normal?
*
I've never noticed petrol smell in my Iriz after pumping a full tank.

QUOTE(fever003 @ Sep 19 2015, 04:27 PM)
Just realized, when in Neutral or Parking, I can only rev the engine to 3k RPM.

I can feel like something disconnect at the pedal when it reaches 3k RPM. Is this a safety feature?

CVT transmission
*
doubt so, I rev it til 5k many times, hearing it roar

Hi guys! Future Atlantic Blue Iriz 1.6 MT here. Document signed edi. Can get car this tuesday smile.gif

I have a question. If we change the air filter, e.g the works engineering one, will it void the warranty?

I guess we have to inform the service personnel that we use an aftermarket air filter to make sure they don't throw it away?
*
I used to use K&N a filter on my previous car, there's a sticker there stating that you are using K&N filter, do not change. Sadly some genius in the workshop tossed it away and replaced it despite the sticker. Of course my sister's approval of a regular change of the air filter also contributed but tbh they should have known better. Moral of the story is, explicitly tell SC not to change

For rattling dashboard they managed to minimize it,but iam still not 100pct satisfied. For suspension issue,they said need CAT team to weld sumthing...my question is,any of u guy hv same problem with me regarding the suspension? Thanx

required to waste time a bit due to need to aware which technician took ur car but it's worth

Good advice bro. Will definitely try that next time as I have problems they have to rectify with my car.

Can anyone recommend any good SC around Shah Alam or PJ?

Glenmarie is smaller, and will serve you faster. Generally a bit friendlier. However their ability to fix more mysterious/unusual issues is more limited.

COE is much bigger, have to wait longer at the customer lounge but they have all the equipment to fix things. For instance they have a so called "body center" to check for any issues with the body joints, which I doubt the Glenmarie one has.

Cheers for the info. Would definitely wanna try COE

Resolved the rattling steering myself. Just use a flat screw driver and poke it so the airbag module comes off. Got a few wires dangling (HU control) inside causing the rattle. Just tape the wires with foam.

Warning: Do not attempt to do this without taking out the battery. I don't want the car settings to reset so i just dismantle it from passenger side and carefully applied the tape. No responsibility held if the airbag comes off while you're working on it tongue.gif

Can share why the regrets of getting the cvt?

I have both 1.3 and 1.6 cvt. Interested to know what you faced that makes mt a better choice.

Drove with my family except eldest from kota tinggi to jb yesterday afternoon in my 1.3. Was in a hurry. Going at about 100 to 110km/h, weaving through traffic, leaving behind myvis, swifts and others, except a preve tailgating me. Let him passed through when the traffic was less. Iriz turbo would have been nice...
*
i just regret a bit cause I drove my friend's manual inspira last night, it was fun. now regret getting cvt sweat.gif but CVT itself has no real issues imo. the initial lag at the start, I've already adapted accordingly. the only thing is i don't know how to vroom vroom with auto (properly?), takkan just press the gas to the floor?


QUOTE(Raid. @ Sep 25 2015, 07:58 AM)
Sometimes I regret getting the CVT too. Miss the feeling of driving MT tongue.gif but for peace of mind, I went for CVT . sakit kaki lah bro hari hari stuck in jam tongue.gif
*
memang la bro, jam is one of the factors which kinda put me off, but i read leaving some space between you and the front person makes the jam easier?

QUOTE(fever003 @ Sep 25 2015, 08:02 AM)
Can we dream that proton will make like a package where existing iriz owners can upgrade/install an original  turbo kit?

Isn't it in auto you press the accelerator based on ur needs. Sorry, Im not familiar with driving auto as Ive only driven auto twice(test drive iriz 1.6 and drive friends myvi).

Jam theres several ways to counter it. For me I tend to only release the clutch and let the vehicle move. If very jam then keep switching to N. If you dont press accelerator much(kinda like tailgating people during jam) then its more relaxing on the leg and also petrol saving. Leaving some space between u and the front guy does as I said.

cheers for the manual tips, must remind myself to get a manual car in the future =P


QUOTE(adijb @ Sep 25 2015, 11:08 AM)
Try driving with the rpm at at least 4000rpm and maintaining it there when you want to vroom vroom. For a slight vroom vroom, 3000 to 3500 rpm should suffice biggrin.gif

I never floored the pedal, cause no need to. 4000rpm gives us the car's max torque.
*
i see, cheers bro, can't wait to bring this car vroom vroom

QUOTE(fever003 @ Sep 25 2015, 02:27 PM)
Highway kosong today. It's true that when the engine goes to 4k+ RPM, the engine gives a different character sound.

Of course logically it'll sound different because rev tinggi, but it's uniquely different than original sound.

First time bawa Iriz "lari lari di padang" since day 1.
*
correct me if i am wrong but it is because it is an inline 4, after a certain RPM a faster response will come out unlike a V engine.

QUOTE(bristlebb @ Sep 25 2015, 03:31 PM)
Hi guys. I just got my 1.6 CVT yesterday. biggrin.gif
But i found 2 problems already:
1. Bluetooth phone call receiving problem. Already picked up, but the HUD still ringing  blink.gif
2. Right rear seat unable to lock back after folded it down. Tried using force few times but it still won't lock.  vmad.gif

My salesman already state the problem in the delivery order. But in the end he says service crew no time to check on Saturday  shakehead.gif

These problems seem minor, but what else can i do other than take leave to check on weekday?
Is there any other sc i can walk-in to fix these?
Tolong...TQ icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

I too have bluetooth issues (music randomly drops). i suggest taking a video if possible to show them and when you go to SC, talk to the person in the garage who your car is assigned to. when i was in SC to rectify the problem, I just told the SA my issue, I assume they just did a general bluetooth test via their device as they declared that there was no issue but the problem still persists.

Hey guys, in general, those who are experiencing Head Unit problems, i've wrote an email to Blaupunkt Malaysia previously, we agreed to meet up at Service centre in Sungai Besi.

When the Blaupunkt Representative came to check my Head unit *volume drop issue and other stuff* , they kept saying its normal. I asked them how can it be normal? there's something wrong with the software, either release an update or fix the issues on behalf of all of us.

The Blaupunkt crew insisted nothing is wrong, also mentioned they have done acoustic test and said this is a 4 speaker sound system and this is how it works and blah blah. I told him my other vehicles are equipped with 4 speaker sound system as well but it doesnt experience shitty music quality like our head unit.

In the end, there's nothing much Proton can do except to probably not take Blaupunkt as their regular supplier in the future.

I hope this clarifies on the issue 1.6 owners are having with the head unit sad.gif

This is ridiculous. I assume there is no fix as of now?

hey guys! thinking to purchase an 1.6 exec. cvt, any reviews, problems or recommendation so far now?
*
brilliant car tbh. there's power, handling, 2 usb chargers between seats. tbh i rather pump a few extra to get the premium which i did to get the reverse camera, push start, keyless etc etc, out of convenience. the only downside i have with the car at the moment is, erm, silly proton QC mistakes, like my rear seatbelt indicator was wrongly placed (left for middle and middle for left; swapped back by SC immediately), bluetooth problems (playing from my ipod spotify tends to drop from time to time, my SA state that my car is the first he heard to have this issue). as for general issues (for me), the knob for the air cond is very, well, loose and the font, the font on the knobs and the speed+rev indicators are different! speed indicator does not clearly state 90kmph + 110kmph etc with a big indicator but with a small one, and lastly, CVT is noisy to some (I don't quite mind tbh, i kinda like it tbh).

before you buy one, i suggest that you check out the preve and suprema, the price tag isn't that far off and comes with turbo icon_rolleyes.gif . also try the manual option especially if you don't like the sound and to compare CVT to the manual. also my sales adviser mentioned to me that quite a number of people actually purchased the manual option.

your alternative option is, imo, suprema, preve, myvi (4 star ancap rating, lack of traction control *iirc* and the handling just bugs me), honda jazz (i would really recommend it if you can afford it, I would go for the mid/high spec). no idea on the nissan almera as i wanted a small car.

QUOTE(aki_zz @ Sep 30 2015, 04:35 PM)
I immediately went lol.

AFAIK xenon msport have turbo kits for campro and cps. Well probably install one after mileage 50k lol. No SC kit yet  biggrin.gif

I just got my car yesterday, it's amazing!!!  rclxm9.gif  Feels much better than I expected since I tested the 1.3 MT and I got the 1.6 Premium MT, I'm very happy with it so far! rclxms.gif

One quick question to all of you guys. How long did it take for you to get the SMS from Yes! for your Huddle XS?

My sales agent said he sent the activation request yesterday but so far I haven't received any messages or emails with my ID and password.

I also called Yes! in the morning but they said that they have no visibility to this because they provided to Proton the IDs and the Passwords and they don't handle that. rclxub.gif

Thanks in advance guys!

just tell your Sales Advisor. I told mine after like a week, she was shocked as she already informed the PIC for Yes for my Proton quite some time ago, she immediately went and key the thing for me personally and a sms was sent straight to me.
