Hi all, I am eyeing on an used 2013 Suprima s, the head unit seems a little malfunctioned, is there anything that I need to be cautious if I want to change to a aftermarket head unit?
Between, the OCH need to change every 30k km?

Any place that I can read about the problem of Suprima S?
Thanks a lot

front and rear parking sensors you need to change as they wont work anymore
OCH is 40k kms or 2 yrs
Depends on your budget, there is different level of best based on how much you willing to spend

Thanks!
My Suprima S should be here next week, hopefully.
Thinking to change the Engine Lubricant (castrol magnatec), cvt oil and the filter(ori), coolant, brake fluid Nd power steering fluid, OCH, air filter, timing belt. Anything else I should also look at?
Anything I can do to prolong the Turbo? Servicing or anythg?
I have follow the fb group and little worry about the longetivity of the cvt gearbox, some cvt of suprima seems kong already.

Best in terms of what? But the easy choice is usually Michelin Pilot Sport 4, 215/45R17
Prolong life of turbo, use good fully synthetic engine oil as it lubricates the Turbo's bearing system and takes heat away from it. Lower quality engine oil can result in oil coking when they are exposed to higher temperatures like in a Turbo. This is usually the reason for turbo failure since the oil can no longer flow properly, or at all

CVT gearbox, unfortunately even at stock spec, it's quite close to the 220nm limit of the gearbox. It should last as long as the driver's foot does not work like an ON-OFF switch, i.e. either a hard press or nothing. Be gentle when moving off from a standstill, halve the recommended service interval from Proton, and if budget permits, get better CVT oil like Rock Oil CVTF and a better CVTF cooler

For the parking sensors, I read that some Android head units are able to work with the parking sensors which communicate via CAN, which means they have a CAN controller/reader built-in. Perhaps the accessory shop or group can provide more info

Hi thanks, such a relief. I will take good care of the cvt and might change the cvt oil every 45k km, the recommended interval should be around 60k km? If the CVT and engine not causing me any problem provided I take good care of them then I am ok with the common problem of ss. Such as fan relay, och need faster change than 40k km, noisy, plasticky interior ( although i dont think it is too bad, i like the interior actually).
Drove it twice and I really love the feeling and drive train of it.
Between, do you know if there is any reliable tires that is good in term of grip, not necessarily need to be handling excellently, safety and life span are still my main concern when come to tires.

my 4.5 yrs old Suprima S has had engine oils ranging from Syntium 3000 and Syntium 800 depending and mileage of 50+k kms, CVT fine, OCH fine basically replace on time with the correct oils is fine. Alot of OCH burst cases is due to didnt change on time, used additives which clogged up the cooler raising the pressure or using 3rd party hoses or silicon hoses.

CVT gear oil must be the right spec, not any CVT oil to ensure longevity and do not creep on traffic lights. Do not hard launch from stationary always.

Turbo doesnt need servicing if the right engine oil has always been used, it wont clog but can inspect the intake vanes for traces of oil

check the a/c belt condition also if high mileage or car above 5 yrs

Thanks, the AC belt is the fead belt? I intended to change that too shrn I receive the car.
Hopefully the car can take care of me if I take care of him nicely. seriously love the car. Been a father now and safety is my main concern, the 5 star Ncap and the drive train really are super b. Can't understand why typical Malaysian complaining it head to toe just because it is a Proton.

Good to see some new owner. On the cvt Kong... Its sporadically reported and the funny thing is its not even from ppl with the mbox mod. Been driving it exceeding the spec for a while now and even dréx the one that coded it just uploaded a video of his silver preve going berserk with paddleshift. Don't worry about it, whether you baby it or not.. But don't full press from toll is a good advice though.

Thanks, means nothing really to worry about?

Hahah, I can't give a guarantee. But just as filter, if cvt Kong, preve and exora users who are way more than rimau will have a lot more complaint. And you don't really see it, or the user don't feel its troublesome enuf to complain about it openly. The only random ppl that come and go and say proton punch sucks... I don't think they even own a proton. Prosmac with all the old users, second hand owner everyday post belanja pic, I don't see complain car dying left right.
Just drive it with a bit of spirit... Its not a car meant for babying. Hit genting let the tire scream, see the traction control light up.

Haha.. Love what you say. Just give it enough maintenance and use as is should be good enough
