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 brows.gif .

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.

Anyone change the engine mounting via warranty claim?

Mine SS seems to vibrate when I step on the fuel to get extra juice. There's an annoying sound something loose from the dashboard everytime I step on the fuel for extra juice. Can't pinpoint exact location, press here press there tak jumpa hmm.gif

Remove the glovebox then look upwards.  You will see lose wires resting against things like the air cond piping n metal bar. Get something soft n start pasting around things that can come into contact with each other.

So far the annoying rattle i got everytime i do medium hard acceleration is gone
*
I'll do that to check. I remember last time the air cond blower not functioning due to cable loose below the glove box

i just sent my SS for 10k kms service. had a few complaints, SA was very courteous and offer to resolve all issues.

reverse sensor not working, ordered replacement, will send it for painting before i re-visit to fix it back

krek krek noise behind instrument cluster, workshop did something, noise seems to be gone, SA offer to replace both engine n CVT mountings

best of all, i only paid RM60+ to top up to Syntium 3000 full syn due to free service offer that came with my car.

best...

Where did u service? I would like to try out the SC.

Same issue with mine. Brake noise. Sent to sc serviced (they said remove dust,cleaning and "service" the brake pad ) last me for around 2 weeks and the sound cm bck.  Complaint twice at sc for the same issue.
At last tak boleh tahan, send to outside workshop. They recommended me Brendix brand. Already run for months so far so good. The most important is no more brake noise.
*
Mine is also making noise again after few weeks servicing the brake. They put grease around the caliper pins and sand paper the brake pads. Haven't try changing the brake pads cause still quite thick.

just pump ron 97 tonight for 30L.
Going to monitor it and compare with next time with normal ron 95.

I don't think there will be much different for city driving. You might get a slightly more mileage for long distance driving.

You have to consider also the fuel price different Ron95 RM2.30/L vs Ron97 RM2.60/L. Note that Ron97 kena 6% GST.

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."

I believed the SA that I bought my car from is still offering 12k discount + 5 years free warranty for SS2015 while 18k for SS2014. Ready stock aswell.  smile.gif
*
shakehead.gif Wah so long stock still got. Like mine sure brakes got problem rusting. Lucky under warranty change the disc brake. I think the caliper might also got problem but cannot prove it.

For? I barely use the front sensor as is..

Ya, I agreed. It's useless unless replace with a camera or use as auto brake or adaptive cruise control to slow down when there's car in front.

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Apr 13 2017, 06:15 PM)
Very useful for large cars, but cars like suprima i don't think we need it.
*
I'm a lousy driver. Once I didn't estimate properly the divider in front then scratch. The car next to me look at me in surprise and said wah so loud the scratch sound. Another time reverse didn't notice the wall hit at the corner of the bumper. Lucky not serious, the plastic hook dislocated and can just manually push back the bumper.

Sometimes it would be useful when we want to squeeze through car blocking partially the road exit at traffic light. It would also help when we want to do side parking and can avoid the side manhole where most of the time the metal grille got stolen.

Now Toyota Vios also got 360 camera already!

Is there any differences btw 2014 car with latest year production? If can get 18k discount for slightly older car...that is great man...

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.

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.

Can say SS is still quite rare here. Would get it over Persona for less than <60k.

Ya, still very rare in Kuching. I can only spot Preve.

What's with the stop sticker?
Does the unit support Waze?
I'm not sure. Maybe something wrong with button. Drop off?

I don't think Kenwood head unit got Waze. It got the phone mirroring for using the Waze app. I think if it got the Apple Car Play or Android Auto maybe can use Waze also.

Very high end stuff. Not sure how can do panaromic view-cannot find in the spec sheet.

I believe u meant 360 bird eye view camera/panoramic view monitor (Toyota Vios)/Around View Monitor (Nissan).

The Kenwood HU itself does not have that feature. We need to buy separate Around View Monitor system. The HU is just to replace the stock Suprima HU because of the low display quality and unreliable old Android.
