Have anyone experience slightly lower engine respond after few years driving the car?
Because I noticed my car doesnt accelerate as quickly as before. Now days i need to press the gas a lil bit more if i wanted to overtake a car. The car seem to struggle if I drive pass 140kmph. Is it because my car already reach 105k km? Do you guys think it would help improve the respond if i service the turbo? I have already complain the issue to proton SC before but they told me nothing wrong with the car. |

QUOTE(spades6 @ Oct 23 2016, 05:40 AM) My cruise control lever broke just few mins after leaving showroom. Called sc n returned car to complain but sc qc manager said it's damage by force n basically blamed me for breaking it so no warranty. Was upset n told the sales rep n was told to call proton icare n complain. I told them I could have bought a Honda civic but wanted to support local industry so frustrated. Long story short it was changed immediately. I was wondering why d lever was so soft so yeah looks like it's a quality issue. It costs bout rm50 anyway. I got mine replaced recently. Now just waiting for my seat replacement after proving that it has noise. Might have to return for another time though after replacing the base since I believe that the backrest is also exhibiting a bit of the same noise. Protong doesn't want to replace the entire seat in one go, plus their supplier isn't producing enough seats at the moment. Besides this, I've gotten almost every issue I had with the car solved. I also got my driver door re-aligned to reduce the gap during the last visit, and I'll probably get them to look at my boot's gap when I return for the seat replacement. |

I'm not sure who did mine though since I remember someone driving my car off to somewhere but not into the parking lot or out of CoE. Perhaps they brought it to the B&P section.But they didn't do anything (SC Jalan Mantin, Seremban). May I know what they did and which SC? Thanks.

I also face rather excessive vibrations when accelerating a little bit harder after a stop or close to a stop especially up a hill. For now I take it as one of unfortunate things we have to accept for this car unless it's actually not supposed to be like this. Perhaps you could bring it to a service centre and ask them to look at the engine/transmission mounting for you.QUOTE(Snowcap @ Oct 24 2016, 05:10 PM) i had the same issue but rattling sound at boot area. Might be caused by the boot cover/board. There should be 2 to 4 rubber pieces that were pasted onto the boot cover/board from the factory. They are very poorly stuck on though due to the chosen surface, so perhaps they've dropped off somewhere. Don't know which idiot decided to stick the rubber pieces onto the board. If it doesn't sound like the boot cover/board rattling against the plastic surface it's on, perhaps try playing around with the folding rear seats. |

Lately I notice especially when driving slow out of the car park E.g lightly pressing the brakes slowly slowing down to a stop n release brakes d cvt seems to get out of gear n rudely enters again. It drives smooth as normal. Funny thing is it's not all the time. Anyone experiencing it?
Man I really am annoyed with the driver seat leather I can see my butt imprints even in the morning. It's the leather stretched. It's quality issue. Now the front passenger seat is starting to show too. Anyone has same prob too? |

Assuming travel to Alor Setar then back to KL again, not racing speed... constant 110 km/hr Intercooler = lowers the intake air temperature before it goes into the throttle body. Suprima's cooling system should be reliable. If you're worried about the turbo, just leave the car idling with the air-cond set to the coldest setting (and wind the window down) for at least 2 to 3 minutes after travelling for an extended period of time. This keeps the oil circulating throughout the engine and turbo, and it'll keep the radiator fan running as well. |

Hello guys
My journey so far after 15k km on premium red - got immidiate 2013 ty re change, harrass sa about all safety doesnt count if tyre go burst/failed/skid - now using michelin ps4 @front 32psi ventus v2 @rear 30psi can do 100kmh+ any corner - using Syntium 3000 is best. 1000 also good but 7000 is too much for ss - engine run smoother after 10k or maybe engine oil finally matching the engine needs Do n Dont - put small pillow at trunk top panel/cover - no more rattling sound - wait engine to be hot enough b4 going full throtle. Hotter engine oil helps ur turbo to run smoother - when hud seems stuck/hang (not the error msg) at clock, press navi button.it will lauch the gps, then press home. Now radio will work Overall car is alot of fun to drive. Stable at high speed n corners. Braking with confident. Easy to mod also |

Has anyone observed their DRLs in operation? I just noticed that my left lamp's DRL colour is slightly more towards blue/green whilst the right side is white.
 Already did the conversion to Osram Xenarc HIDs so I'm gonna have to swap out the bulbs and the dust cover in case I decide to pursue this.Asked an expert about this and apparently it's quite a normal occurrence.  Their brightness still seem to be the same though. I really can't believe I didn't notice the difference until now as I always leave my car idling when I reach my office. Maybe it deteriorated over time..Edit: Took a look from far and up close again, and the brightness is certainly the same, just that the left lamp has a cool temperature look whilst the right is warm. I guess I'll just leave it since it isn't exactly an eyesore. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Nov 3 2016, 08:40 AM |

Decided to send an email to protong about my DRLs. Hopefully they'll be able to solve this for me as I can't stop thinking about the colour difference.

Edit: The left headlamp DRL may look nicer in the picture above, but in real and up close they look a bit dimmer than the right and not so even as well. 0.20 seconds and onwards This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Nov 5 2016, 12:00 PM |

For safety reasons and you don't blind opposite traffic. Both look bright from a distance and on camera. My problem now is basically about the DRL's colour difference and potentially brightness as well, where the left headlamp DRL is slightly more blue from far and slightly blue/green and less even and bright up close, and the right headlamp's DRL having a pure warm white colour which seems to be correct one. I've watched the video I posted earlier and some others, and their DRLs have the same colour. It's easier to see the colour difference in person. Now that I think about it, I believe the problem was there since the day I got the car, but I probably brushed it off as I thought it was due to angle, plus it's a little hard to look at both DRLs at the same time.On another note, got RM 8k discount for ss now. Saw in proton fb page. I noticed the rims are different. Even the skirting is different tone colour. Edit: I don't believe this is to prevent people from getting blinded since they go dim once the low beams are on, plus they're supposed to be noticeable during day time anyway. If the colour difference is due to the angle, I think it would make sense if the right headlamp's DRL also becomes bluer at a certain angle, but it's not the case for my car.  Now I'm just waiting for protong to reply my email, plus I've also already book a slot at CoE to get the thing inspected.Edit: More pictures

Hi...Anyone any idea where can get and how much is the silicon air intake hose with stainless steel pipe for from filter to turbo unit? I'm planning to replace mine. Since the OEM hose gt harden, maybe due to too much heat.

Guys the burning smell thru aircon when u accelerate with high rpm I'd due to what? I notice if I accelerate abruptly above 3k rpm. Can sc fix this?
Also there's a noticiblevibration sound or fast tapping like a snare drum from engine area especially when aircon is on when or when d fan turns on. Makes it sound like diesel engine. Is it a sign something is getting loose or engine mounting starting to Kong? |

Finally changed my stock tyres all 4 due to cracks. If u r still using the stock tyres pls check for cracks especially mine they r facing inside. Luckily manage to spot the cracks when they jack the car during oil change. For my safety and comfort I changed to Mic PS4. The damage is about 450/pc. The stock tyres made in Indonesia and the PS4 made in Thailand. Now can corner fast fast

Just changed my car stock battery 2yrs+ to MF Century Marathoner 55D23L. Damage RM290.
Symptom when time to change battery, startup crank took longer to start the engine. Sometimes after startup the engine immediately went dead. Normal startup: Ehhek Ehhek, vroom.... Almost end of battery life: Ehhek Ehhek Ehhek Ehhek Ehhek Ehhek. vroom.... Disclaimer this symptom might not be the same for your car which might have different issues. |

Went to the SC today to check on a few things including my DRLs. Still no stock for seat, so nothing was replaced today. They ordered the LHS headlamp for me, so now I just need to wait for them to call.
QUOTE(Otic @ Nov 21 2016, 08:25 PM) Yes. Exactly. I can't even see my light when drive around 7 or 8pm. LOL... RM650 at EA Autoworks, and yes, it is HID.Btw, how much u installed the osram xenarc? It's HID type right ? Edit: For anyone who's looking to switch to HIDs as well but cannot decide on the colour, 4200K still has some yellow in it (when viewed from inside the car). From outside it's white. Depending on the time of the day it could either be pure white or white with slight hints of yellow. The ideal colour for me is probably between 4400K~ 5000K, but too bad EA Auto only carries 4200K and 6000K HIDs. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Nov 26 2016, 01:36 PM |

Try doing a throttle body cleaning. I experience a similar symptoms and complain it to Proton CoE. They done a throttle body cleaning and it did improve a bit. I think you can do it outside without voiding your warranty. I did at proton cause they can do it for free.
or do what TDUEnthusiast told me before QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Oct 16 2016, 08:15 PM) Have you ever done any form of throttle/turbo cleaning with e.g. Threebond? Do you have an Oil Catch Tank (non re-circulating set-up) installed? If it's no to both, then get both of them done. First one will get rid of the gunk in the turbo unit, intercooler and throttle body if you spray Threebond through the Turbo. Second option will (or should) stop oil from collecting in the turbo and subsequently the intercooler and throttle body. Especially good if you like to go heavy on the throttle.

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Nov 2 2016, 09:37 PM) Has anyone observed their DRLs in operation? I just noticed that my left lamp's DRL colour is slightly more towards blue/green whilst the right side is white. Mind share what temperature of hid bulb did you go with? Does 4300k match well with the drl? Would also like to know will installing OCT void the warranty? Already did the conversion to Osram Xenarc HIDs so I'm gonna have to swap out the bulbs and the dust cover in case I decide to pursue this.Asked an expert about this and apparently it's quite a normal occurrence. Their brightness still seem to be the same though. I really can't believe I didn't notice the difference until now as I always leave my car idling when I reach my office. Maybe it deteriorated over time..Edit: Took a look from far and up close again, and the brightness is certainly the same, just that the left lamp has a cool temperature look whilst the right is warm. I guess I'll just leave it since it isn't exactly an eyesore. This post has been edited by Andy0625: Dec 2 2016, 11:34 PM |

I went with 4200k. It still has some yellow in it and will not always be as white as the DRLs. Not always because mine can also appear to be completely white depending on the time and weather.I believe that the ideal temperature should be around 4500k to 5000k if you want it to match the DRLs. Edit: not sure about the Oct because I haven't done my second service, but I don't expect it to be a problem. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 3 2016, 01:03 AM |

Hi guys,
I have been browsing thru this forum for a couple of months. I like to seek your opinion based on the pricing of the suprima full spec. Should I purchase a brand new suprima or go for a toyota or honda. Based on my driving style, I see that the suprima fits my boat. I presume that the maintence aspect is lower compared to the mentioned brands above. The issues being discussed in this forum also indicates that the main components dont really have much an issue. Its more of the small parts that irrates. |

Budget will be below 90K. However i do realize i wont be able to get full specs with other brands. Can i check with you what is the max loan tenure? I will prefer Comfort and Handling as my daily drive will increase to about 120 Km. I believe speed can be achieved only on clear roads, other then that speeds are usually 100-110 km/h. There servicing price seem affordable. Drawback is the FC, anyone achieve better or is it an average. |

Some minor problems here and there so far for me but at least they're not denying the problems i bring up. They're trying to get back customer confidence now so claiming warranty should be easier than expected. Save some money for additional sound deadening to be done and you should be very happy with the car. Can't expect much given that they normally focus a lot more on the driving aspect. This is something i want in the cars i buy, so i bought this over similarly priced cars. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 7 2016, 07:13 PM |

Was wondering why my car handling is so crashy for the past week of ownership. At last found out that both of my front tyre at 330kpa and right rear at 260kpa. For those collecting their car please check it right after you collect it. Im glad that it doesnt burst on the freeway while driving back from Kl to Ipoh.

There is a blind spot caused by the return wire, but it's not that noticeable unless your car is on a slope pointing towards the ground. |

Best upgrade to my SS so far.Sharp cutoff I agree but the beam pattern is not exactly suited for HID. My previous Waja CPS with factory fitted AL HIDs have the correct cutoff as in the RHS light beam should not have an upwards angle. It should be flat across. I also just claimed warranty for faulty rear reverse sensor and awaiting confirmation of faulty BT on my HU. |

Went to COSE and inform them regarding this issue and they said is normal. Anyone had this issue? Same for me; 2000rpm vibrate then when it goes slightly higher it becomes smooth when accelerating from a slow speed/standstill. Went to Zordaq Motorsport for an opinion and the boss said it's normal for this car, but also said that it's the same for some cars with CVT (Toyota Wish's an example he brought up).It was also causing some minor rattling for me especially if I was accelerating fast to get into a roundabout. I found out that this was due to the glove box's stupid locking mechanism. Solved this by putting two short rubber strips on the dash itself to push against the glove box when it's closed, which in turn stops the plastic locks from moving freely. |

Guys, any problem if I remove the engine "PCV?" hose from direct connect to the intake hose? Because I don't want vapour with oil dirty my turbo unit.
I blocked the intake small hole and install mini breather for the engine vacuum. PS: proton sc technician recommend me to mod like this. @@

My humble opinion the stainless steel piping will cause more hot air into the air-filter box(especially revving in hot and humid weather condition in Malaysia).If I need to change the air intake I will prefer to get the Works Enginerring Air Intake designed for Preve & Suprima (Turbo):-  Attached File(s)

The reason why I changed to stainless steel piping is because the OEM black colour rubber hose crack easily due to heat. Even my friend's preve less than 60k KM mileage cracked twice. The cost he changed OEM almost same price with my stainless steel set less than rm100. If I need to change the air intake I will prefer to get the Works Enginerring Air Intake designed for Preve & Suprima (Turbo):- I used to consider the one you shared Works Engineering Filter but it's too costly for me...btw, works intake pipe stainless steel also right ?

QUOTE(ms6309 @ Jan 12 2017, 01:31 PM) Is there any 2nd round of Achilles tire recall by Proton to change Continental CSC3 mentioned by Prosmac in FB? i don't think there is any "rounds". My understanding is if car is manufactured in year 2015 and tires are from 2013. You can raise request for new tires.However there is no guarantee of CSC 3 will be provided in liew of the Achilles 2233. Some folks in the forum got their 2233 replaced with newer batch 2233. Some got CSC3. By the way, can someone snap a pic of their SS HU firmware version? I think mine could have been updated due to my complaint of BT not working to compare. |

QUOTE(laytiong @ Jan 12 2017, 02:46 PM) If this case, the tire must be from 2013. Mine is with newer batch of Achilles. I find it is hard to claim for new tires without recall from Proton. SC will give all kinds of excuses to reject your request. If not mistaken, the HU version is 7.26. After that, no more update for HU. This post has been edited by ms6309: Jan 12 2017, 05:37 PM |

Yes, same case for me. Many crack lines at the thread area. I only have it after 15k km driving. I didn't get the claim until the recall.he was very kind to raise a request and after 1.5 mths I got them replaced with 2016 CSC3. Mine shows 7.84 for OS version. Seems like there is new version. Problem here they only provide HU checking on Monday and Thursday when the vendor is in. Need to ask SC to update HU version during my damper replacement. |

QUOTE(khairilyazit @ Jan 25 2017, 09:55 PM) Time to change then.. but such low mileage.. I haven't done my second service. Booked a slot at COSE in early February for my second service.How does the engine feel with the ws2? My car is 2015 stock, so I'm not surprised if there are a few things to change/claim. I've already gotten my driver seat (soft and thick now) and my LHS headlamp replaced last Saturday after complaining to Proton via Facebook & email. As it turns out a new LHS headlamp still happen to be not as bright as the RHS headlamp, although it does seem to be better (as in more white/bright) than the last LHS headlamp I had (maybe just psychological effect given that it's new stuff). I had the chance to see a new Suprima S being driven out, and its DRLs are the same as well. The technician who looked at my car a few months ago ordered a RHS headlamp for me instead, but I insisted on getting the passenger headlamp replaced as it wasn't as bright. Perhaps it's a known issue to them. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Jan 25 2017, 10:03 PM |

Preparing for second service. Hopefully will get to claim my mountings as well. Vibration when accelerating is getting worse. |

QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Jan 26 2017, 08:31 AM) Do update us on that. I thought that was normal for the whole center dashboard area to vibrate when accelerating. Sure. I don't think it will be eliminated with new mountings but most likely will be drastically reduced. Some people in the prosmac group said that there is an updated version of the mountings. Gonna trade in my csc 3s for ps4 soon. Good tyres but three out of four of the csc 3s given to me are not completely round, causing travel at 120kmh to be rather uncomfortable. Above that it's fine.

Maybe i used the wrong term. I don't know what's the exact term for this but the tyres basically spin with some waving effect when you look at them from the top. Balancing issue? |

Door rattle. Visit proton sc and ask them to check.
Write on a piece of paper : - To check left and right door speaker rattle Then gv it to the reception. Done. Every time i visit SC, i always done that. Write it on a piece of paper before go and then gv them. For eg : - To check engine and CVT mounting - To check rear tyre chamber - To check CVT jerking at low speed Then after services, the receipt receive wrote : - Replace engine and cvt mounting ( warranty ) - Done an aligment and balancing - CVT adaption and throttle body clean This post has been edited by PahMahSeng: Jan 29 2017, 02:51 PM |

Just topup AC gas after 3 years of use. Been on a roadtrip one malaysia From KB-BP-AS-KB.
I notice there is this "woosh" sound coming from AC I think when turn it on from time to time during the road trip. Also, before topup AC, noticed that when open AC max, seems like something is blocking the AC. Need to change to outside air/inside air few times until problem disappear. Maybe its the sponges? |

Tyre Update
Old Tyre Fitted on : ~50k km (Feb 2015) Taken off : ~115k km (Feb 2017) Tyre : Michelin Primacy 3 ST Size : 215/45R17 Dry and wet grip is exceptional. Nice for conservative fast driving. Comfortable and quiet up until end of life. The only downside is the price. New Tyre Fitted on : ~!15k km (Feb 2017) Tyre : Dunlop Formula D05 Size : 225/45R17 Too early to figure out the tyre characteristics. Have only done 50km. So far, quicker steering response. Comfier due to taller sidewall. But much louder than the Michelins even at end of life. |

What modifications do you do after the warranty is up?
So far I've claimed: reverse sensor (left) door rubber seal 2 free new tyres Warranty about 1.5 years left. I will hit the 5 year warranty first before the mileage. |

QUOTE(davidletterboyz @ Feb 15 2017, 11:29 AM) I noticed you had a Persona Elegance before? How do they compare? Persona non elegance.Better in almost every way . Maintenance cost is much higher than the persona, but you get much better performance, comfort and handling. It's almost 2x the price anyway. |

Looks like there are a few Sup S needed tow truck? Better in almost every way . Maintenance cost is much higher than the persona, but you get much better performance, comfort and handling. It's almost 2x the price anyway. What's the biggest concern getting a Sup S? My mechanic said the CVT is prone to breakdown. That scared me. |

There are no physical gears.Just remember that the turbo in this thing is small. You can expect to accelerate faster than many other cars out there but don't expect it to reach speeds like 180 to 200 very quickly.

I do still have the bottle and there's oil analysis service, so worse case scenario I'll have to go through all of it to prove that it's not my problem. Station siap kena if just give receipt for fun. Service advisor also kena since cose doesn't allow it in the first place, plus in the service receipt got remark fully 7000 from petronas 😂😂😂. I'm not expecting any problems with the Syntium 7000 though. Still remember a picture where a suprima s that uses the same oil had very clean engine. |

Any recommended shop for sound proofing around Puchong area? Was recommended a shop in Klang in V2 thread but it's too far for me.
QUOTE(davidletterboyz @ Feb 15 2017, 11:56 PM) I see. My gear stick lever was faulty, sometimes can't even move it to D. Sent to service centre they refused to fix as they said "masih boleh guna, tengok dulu"... That's good to hear. Honest I hope my mechanic is wrong lol because I'm eyeing this car. 1 week later I was stranded in Damansara after I parked my car. Couldn't enter any gears so had to call toll truck. Other than that the car is not giving my any problems aside from the lousy Android touch screen crashing 2 in a 10 times or refuse to get past the Proton startup logo. |

Getting either 2016/2017 car I can only say that Mazda 2 has battery consumption issue. And that battery is not cheap. (RM5xx for compatible, 7xx for Ori). You have to add that into your total cost of ownership. You can go over that thread and read it up. |

Getting either 2016/2017 car Typical problems include refinement, fit and finish, and quality of some of the interior parts of the vehicle.Some people have problems with the CVT, and it's usually caused by aggressive driving, though there are a small number of cases where the gearbox started to fail even without being driven aggressively. The next big problem is the oil cooler hose, but there is a workshop (who does R&D besides the usual workshop stuff) claiming to have given protong a metal version of the oil cooler hose/unit, and said that we should be able to see it this year. |

Proton's manual and official will suggest u to use xw-30 fully EO at 10k intervalBut from my personal experience, xw-30 fully EO is too thin, and 10k km service interval is not healthy for turbo i suggest to go for 5w-40 fully EO at 7.5k interval. p/s : proton official cfe oil filter (PW811577) actually rated for 10k km usage and use for cps, iafm, n cfe models |

QUOTE(davidletterboyz @ Feb 21 2017, 11:11 AM) That's not too bad considering most users reported ~10L/100km? 
This is my average fuel consumption. That was my lowest average so far, usually is around 9.8L/100KM. Any suggestions on how to further reduce the fuel consumption will be appreciated. PS. I do aware turbo car usually uses more fuel but sometimes, when I don't feel like in so called "racing mode", I just wanna drive in relaxed manner where I can save more fuel. 😁 This post has been edited by allan.khaw.90: Mar 7 2017, 06:11 AM |

Just use it when it's foggy, and if you're reversing in the dark. Maybe heavy rain as well if you're worried that the light bars of the car makes it look further away than it really is. |

E.g. 1.6 turbo should be more efficient than 2.0 NA. 1.2T more effecient that 1.6 NA etc. Look at VW Vento 1.2TSI vs 1.6NA. But too bad Proton's CFE is just a bolt-on turbo. The engine block etc. built up is not with turbo design in mind. |

Its more or less the same fc with a 2.0 4B11.. i drove both extensively...Actually turbo is supposed to be more fuel efficient. E.g. 1.6 turbo should be more efficient than 2.0 NA. 1.2T more effecient that 1.6 NA etc. Look at VW Vento 1.2TSI vs 1.6NA. But too bad Proton's CFE is just a bolt-on turbo. The engine block etc. built up is not with turbo design in mind. Nice read CODE Technical Although based on the existing engine family, retaining many of the key features like bore size, block height, cam positions etc, the vast majority of the components were replaced or modified in some way. Views of the Campro engine One fundamental change was a reduction in stroke from 88 mm to 86 mm. With the retained 76 mm bore, the swept volume reduced from 1,597 cc to 1,561 cc. This was brought about by the very compact height of the existing iron cylinder block which did not provide enough space to increase the required piston strength or lower the piston crown to achieve the desired compression ratio The compression ratio was set at 8.9:1, which although relatively low for a modern downsized engine, allows the same hardware to be used for all the target markets including those with 88 RON fuel and very hot climates without excessive retardation. The cylinder block was based on the original Campro cast iron block. Extensive finite element analysis (FEA) showed no requirement to strengthen the casting to withstand the increased cylinder pressures. Small changes to the block were made to incorporate piston cooling jets into the oil gallery, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) driven flow improvements into the water jacket to improve the engine cooling required for the performance increase. A forged steel crankshaft replaced the original cast iron unit in the engine. FEA indicated that it would be possible to maintain the existing main bearing and rod bearing dimensions; however it was necessary to improve the bearing material to withstand the projected loadings. A new piston design with a 19 mm floating piston pin to withstand the higher cylinder pressures was implemented. The cast piston incorporated an anodised top ring groove to prevent micro-welding damage with the expected high temperatures, and a scuff resistant coating applied to the piston skirts. The changes to the piston and the increased gas pressure loading necessitated a change in connecting rod and connecting rod length. A new forged steel fracture cap design replaced the original powder metal design. The aluminium 4 valve per cylinder DOHC Campro cylinder head was re-engineered to accept an intake cam phaser for the CFE application. This was achieved maintaining the existing cambelt location and now permits 40 crank degrees of intake cam phasing for improved performance, fuel economy and emissions. An improved cambelt material was implemented along with an auto-tensioner for improved serviceability. During the cylinder head redesign, the spark plug was changed to a narrow thread, long reach design so that the spark plug boss would allow better cooling as well as a lower coolant back pressure in the cylinder head water jacket. In the same way as the cylinder block, the water jacket design actions were led by extensive up-front CFD analysis. Through the reductions in coolant restriction developed through CFD, only a modest increase in water pump flow rate was required. A new multiple layers steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket was developed to withstand the higher cylinder pressures. To withstand the expected higher exhaust gas temperatures, sodium filled exhaust valves maintaining the original 5 mm stem diameter were selected. An upgraded oil pump was also implemented to compensate for the higher demand of piston cooling jets, turbocharger bearing oil supply, and to maintain good oil pressure at low engine speed so that the intake variable valve timing (VVT) system could be operated. A water-cooled oil cooler is fitted as standard. A Borg Warner turbocharger’s compressor and turbine were selected for maximum low speed performance. It uses a pressure regulated wastegate to control plenum pressure, and incorporated an electric integrated compressor bypass. Air from the compressor is ducted to an air to air charge-cooler mounted in the front left hand side bumper aperture. An electrical pump which is actuated on key-off to provide coolant to the turbocharger bearing housing after engine shutdown. This pump also circulates coolant around the rest of the coolant circuit to prevent boiling, an important feature in the high ambient temperature of Malaysia and Proton’s export markets |

Hi, i bought my proton supremo in 2014 july. By 2016, I've started to hear screeching noise from the brakes. many times proton dealer recommended to just do skimming.
Now they say need to replace brake rotors front and rear + brake pad front and rear at RM 764.80. Can i know if anyone faced this similar issue? Could it be a defective rotor, since this is a new car? |

The reason they would suggest to replace the rotors is because it's worn out/damaged, and for your case I suspect damaged as a result of the brake pads being worn out and not replaced before the brake material finished. If the brake pads still have some material in them, changing the pads may be enough to solve the problem since the screeching noise is likely caused by the brake wear indicator pin.Now they say need to replace brake rotors front and rear + brake pad front and rear at RM 764.80.

updates :
I went to service centre to repair my reverse sensor. . The only replaced left side. and let the right side not working. Really unhappy with it and they said they dont have parts for the left side. . And some more request for me to go to HQ (Kesas) for my bluetooth issue. . Even more after servicing, my back bonnet having difficulties to open. and the service guy claimed motor error / rosak. but the way he informed to me like want to salahkan i pulak. . So unhappy and i already drop complaint email to proton care and call their customer service. . so bengang right now  Service centre: Superior Regal Sdn Bhd Sungai Kapar Indah |

Alternatively you can try doing it by cycling thru R to D, stopping at each point for at least 5 seconds. N - D - N - R - N is considered one cycleThis post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Mar 10 2017, 09:01 PM |

The connector got loose. So I just attached it again. Very easy job actually. Just remove the two screws at the left and right side at the sidewall and yank the cover out slowly. If you pull it out quickly you may damage the cable. |

Tried clutch adaption by myself but it seem the jerking still there(maybe my method wrong). After that went to SC Prai and they did some tuning I guess. Ok for awhile. Each time tune at SC last me for maybe 2 months and jerking come bck. Well...but I don't bother it now, jz tune it when I service my car at sc. Tired of keep going sc. =.= |

Hi all,
I'm considering the Michelin primacy 3 ST for the car. Anyone changed to it? Is there significant difference in quietness compared to the stock Achilles tyres? I really want to get it but I fear my wife will make noise that I'm wasting money. So if there there is a major change in it being quieter I'd appreciate the feedback. I want to live a long life. Please help me |

You should get roughly 20 - 25% better fc. just pump ron 97 tonight for 30L.Ron97 is not worth unless your engine is tuned for it. On stock engine the difference is so minimal, just as good as burning cash. Going to monitor it and compare with next time with normal ron 95. QUOTE(Ricky300 @ Mar 20 2017, 04:08 PM) Yes it does.

You might get a slightly more mileage for long distance driving.Going to monitor it and compare with next time with normal ron 95. You have to consider also the fuel price different Ron95 RM2.30/L vs Ron97 RM2.60/L. Note that Ron97 kena 6% GST. |

(Total 100km) Below I quote from one website that did a comparison of fuel using Proton Saga."Meanwhile, the RON 97 Saga recorded a fuel consumption of 7.1 litres per 100 km (or 14.04 km/l), costing RM31.82 in total or 18 sen per km. The conclusion from this test is using RON 95 is 3 sen per km cheaper compared to RON 97." |

Hi,
According to Proton's website, the Standard variant does have ESC and 7-speed Protonic, whereas earlier reviews (2014) said that the Standard variant does not? Which one is true? http://www.proton-edar.com.my/en/Models/Su...ge.aspx#PRICING & SPECS https://<link removed>/2014/12/06/proton-supri...troduced-rm70k/ |

Did you guys change the spark plugs at the 60k service interval?
I was told that we would need to change it. I always thought that the spark plugs last till 90k to 100k. |

Yes the suprima is big by malaysian made car standards.. but it would still fit nicely in a standard parking box.. |

QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Apr 10 2017, 08:29 PM) Last I heard they still have stock for 2014 model. Just to share, I went to two Proton sales center around my neighborhood and both just offering 8k discount with 1 month waiting time whereas this guy offering 14k with ready stock. Is there any differences btw 2014 car with latest year production? If can get 18k discount for slightly older car...that is great man...Give this guy a call, 0126503863 (Ben). Just tell him you're recommended by the guy came all the way from Ipoh and you will have the best deal. |

Like derrick mentioned, there should be no different other than the value of the car drop as year goes by. As long there's warranty from the day you register the vehicle, shouldn't be a big deal. I have claimed the spoiler led brake light, reverse sensor, engine mounting with no fuss. 2014 or 2015 is still a great buy.  |

Depending where they store the old stock. Most common problem rust at the brake discs and even the brake calipers. Wiper blades rubber deteriorate. Maybe some problem on the battery left idle could reduce it's lifespan. Spent more time at workshop to get defective parts replaced.This post has been edited by merinyu: Apr 14 2017, 07:15 PM |

Just make sure they replace everything that has worn out due to exposure to the sun. Roof linings, wiper blades, paint (important), tyres (Proton is giving Continental CSC 3 tyres for free due to quality problems with the Achilles 2233 tyres), and etc. |

Found Preve owner had already installed 360 surround parking camera and replacing the infotainment system with Kenwood DNX8160S 7" if I'm not wrong and cost about 3K (infotainment unit only).
Look like it didn't really fit well. I found it at Etoni facebook.

Is Suprima really that powerful? I read from FB that this car can challenge BMW 3 Series and Civic Turbo.
No offence here, just curious. In fact, I am considering of buying one this year or next year. |

Does anybody know what suspension bushings the suprima uses? Rubber or Polyurethane?
How much does the bushings cost anyway? I'm wondering if I change it to better rubber ones if available it will reduce road boom/noise over rough surfaces Thank you |

PROTON SUPRIMA S,merupakan model paling terbaik dan paling tercanggih.Menggunakan enjen CFE turbo 1.6 campro vvt dan sistem gear box yang canggih iaitu cvt 3 yang final drive tinggi sedikit dari preve.Model ini dilengkapi dengan system paddle shift system.Banyak system canggih kereta ni seperti push start button,sensor segala bagai dan macam macam lagi la.Dari segi kelajuan kereta ini walaupun cvt memang sangat hebat,kalau pandu 180kmh boleh pandu sebelah tangan je.kalau honda civic 1.5 turbo test dengan kereta ni rasanya belum tentu lagi ni,sebab kereta ni antara raja di lebuh raya.Ada mengatakan kereta ini bermasalah seperti turbo problem la,oil cooler hose problem la,biasa la VW golf gti pun problem mekatronic dan clutch plate.follow maintenance ok la.Admin tak pernah pakai suprima ni tapi selalu la pandu kereta ni sebab banyak pelanggan buat service,kena la test drive untuk check apa yang problem.
Walau bagaimana pun model ini admin kasi 7 bintang antara kereta yang paling terbaik dalam keluarga proton. Taken from G Car Care's FB. So what's your opinion as Suprima's owner on this? I really like the way the admin told the story. |

Thank you. I'm already on the primacy 3st, looks like the only other option to apply those good ol bitumen mats like brown bread or dynamat etc. My last satria gti had good sound deadening all over as I was into sound quality lol. The suprima cabin is already very quiet, but as we can expect low profile tyres with firm suspension its more prone to road boom. The rear boot cover I added some foam padding & soundproofing strips around it so it's air tight, so far it helps a lot with the noise from the boot area |

How hard is she trying to accelerate? The clutch may disengage if the speed is low when braking, and if you press harder than needed you'll end up accelerating with the clutch partially engaged until after enough speed has been gained (similar to gradual clutch engagement in a manual car when moving off from a standstill).*sorry for my english* Bring your car to an sc anyway and try to simulate the problem. They will be able to advise better as we're not sure what does sluggish look like for her. |

Need to buy optional HDMI MHL cable if we want to sync phone apps in high definition video and audio plus charge your phone also. We had to make sure our phone support MHL.

That JVC must be using some sort of adapter for 360° view. Cannot find in specs http://my.jvc.com/car/av_receiver/kw_v51bt/
BTW, where you get source for all this mods? I want to change hu, don't know what to choose This post has been edited by mystvearn: May 5 2017, 10:12 PM |

Just wonder is there any suprima owner having the same sound like this?
When I engaged to S and star accelerate, when rpm reach about 3.5k, I can hear sound like there's another thing is moving together. Wonder is that normal in CVT high rev.? |

All HU as I know of don't have 360° view module.BTW, where you get source for all this mods? I want to change hu, don't know what to choose You need a 360° Panoramic Parking system to process and output the videos from the four cameras to the HU. 
The JVC KW-V51BT is a reasonable priced HU at RM1,400 except if want to use MHL link got to buy the correct cable for Android JVC KS-U61 and for iPhone JVC KS-U60. The JVC KS-U60/U61 should be less than RM100. This post has been edited by merinyu: May 7 2017, 11:03 AM |

If there is a box behind the HU which needs to be mounted then it may be a problem if it is not mounted securely. Don't want something to rattle behind the dash. You need a 360° Panaromic Parking system to process and output the videos from the four cameras to the HU.
Thanks for the info. I don't think the SS is big enough for a 360degree camera. Kia Sorento is big, Suprima can be very sloppy in car park. |

QUOTE(Snowcap @ Oct 24 2016, 05:10 PM) i had the same issue but rattling sound at boot area. Hey guys, sorry a little sesat off topic here. But I thought I'd post a solution for a rattling sound coming from the boot cover / hatchback door grey plastic cover. Since day 1 I've had a rattling sound from either the boot cover or the inside the hatchback door - but couldn't figure out what it was. Service centers were never able to fix it. The sound was off and on - sometimes very obvious, sometimes less so. Anyway I thought it was the boot cover and tried placing pillows & weights on the boot cover, tried extra cushioning on those little rubber sticker pads under the boot cover, but the rattling was still there. But I think I've nailed it down now. I think the answer for my case is - the irritating rattling is coming from cables located in between the grey plastic panel and hatchback door. Not all the cables are secured down, and are not cushioned with foam. So the cables (some are heavy and hard) keep knocking against the metal of the hatchback door and creates that rattling vibrating noise. Pic attached at bottom for reference. I've used blue electrical tape to secure all moving parts down, and no more rattling noises!..... for a couple of days. It recently came back, so will try again with foam cushioning. Hope this helps some folks out there make their cars just a little bit better.

Just had my 40k KM service (4 years in September). Change those 3 gear oil (even though supposed to be 60k KM (3 years) since its already 4 years. Spark plugs as well. Well overdue in terms of time. All in all, cost of service came down to about RM 1.1k
Found out exhaust muffler got a hole at the curved end about 2" wide. Proton says it is not covered under warranty. Only engine and gearbox is covered in the 5 year warranty. Is this true? So I had to go to an exhaust shop and change the muffler for RM350 (stainless steel). Also the rubber seal at the driver door crack (most probably due to seatbelt being latched there while I tried to shut the door. The SC said that it is not covered under warranty. All other parts are only covered 3 years. So I assume that is safe to change the HU now? Since only the engine and gearbox covered left. |
