QUOTE(StatixX @ Jan 29 2017, 01:14 PM) But the rattling sound has been there since the day i bought the car... Giving more sound proofing must i fork out from my own pocket or i can go ketuk the proton service people  Then just live with it, nowadays modern car ranging from proton, vw, Toyota, Honda, to BMW all having internal part rattling here and there. I suspect it is due to more quieter internal cabin, thus you able to hear more little tiny rattling noise

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Feb 20 2017, 04:39 PM) Suprima has a better CVT than the Preve, i.e. it was designed to be quieter, so you don't hear that damn whine over 100km/h. Besides that the Suprima should have a more aggressive tuning so generally you get a lot more power delivery across the range versus a turbo preve. i think CVT's whine is normal and common to all makes, sit a nissan sylphy current gen few months back, owner thrashing the car by revving kao2, CVT was whinning loud, in fact I thought the whine is like some "supercharger" whine, haha...

QUOTE(allan.khaw.90 @ Mar 7 2017, 05:58 AM) [attachmentid=8560204] 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. 😁 do you reset the average speed together during resetting the average FC? FC seems quite high with such higher average speed...

QUOTE(Boy96 @ Oct 9 2017, 10:29 PM) Yup, complete 60k service I don't think its gonna be problem free, but hopefully will last lar.. OCH has been replaced once, the car has overheated 3-4 times over the years due to the fan wire harness melt. The bulbs (headlights and brake lights) needs to be changed every few month... The transmission and engine mount also was changed less than 2 years ago and change again during the 60k service.. and alot more lah.. What proton is doing now is just replacing the parts. But part quality still the same. OK mar, cheaper and more reliable than my Polo Sedan. 60k service 3k..

QUOTE(youngy @ Oct 10 2017, 03:30 PM) WOW! Almost RM 5K. Hmm... Thinking of getting either a Persona or a Polo. Polo 60K KM major service is about RM 2.5K. minus those parts that has or might have problems. India-parts Polo bun only for whom got guts.. parts failure so frequent. My first year absorber already 2 pc from front and rear gone, use finger power can compress it fully. Radio antenna booster gone. Now carpet wet after raining.. regret didn't get suprima last time.. first year I already fork out 3k for service, absorber, radio antenna and many more replacement.. want sell it depreciated till I losing 25k in 1 year, so have to keep it...

QUOTE(scoupe @ Nov 19 2018, 02:27 PM) Hi Bro, i am not sure if there is a 2018 model Suprima. Most places i seen them getting rid of 2017 models. i suggest you test drive the car and have a feel first. the cvt will need some getting used to, as you need to have some patience on take off and allow the clutch to bite before giving it more throttle, otherwise you will be in line to repair gearbox prematurely. As for the OCH i do not think proton had changed the hose material. however change it at the required interval and you should be fine. Sorry, no dealer to recommend. recently we bought an Iriz from Proton Platinum Center and it was a nightmare. Car sales man who knows jack about what he is selling and lots of other issues. will it better to practice "manual launch control" to mitigate the take off delay feel? Means like your left leg step on brake pedal while right leg step on throttle pedal give some rev, says, 1500rpm then release the foot brake?

QUOTE(mr_geforce @ Nov 19 2018, 04:24 PM) prepare to change new set of gb. or prepare at least 10k.. then only you are ready to do so. when you press on brake pedal.. the wet clutch inside cvt is disengaged.. n i dunno if the rpm will be cut off at 3K when you do so. normally what i did: on hill: pull up handbrake n let the clutch engage for 1-2s then let go handbrake n the car will move upward on its own then only i press gas pedal. on normal road: i just lift up brake pedal n let the clutch engage 1s then only press on gas pedal once car is moving forward slightly. oh? using handbrake the clutch will engage? the CVT detects foot brake engagement to decide clutching action is it?

QUOTE(mr_geforce @ Nov 19 2018, 04:57 PM) well.. once you lift up foot from brake.. the clutch inside will be engaged. but it need times 1-2s.. otherwise the belt will slipped when you press the gas.. and during service you might see those fine metal particles when changing the cvt fluid filter All CVT works like this? Used to sit friend's new Vios and City, amazed on their CVT acceleration pull, didn't notice the clutch engagement delay. Meanwhile, I'm fed up with my gen2 and polo sedan AT gearbox slowness, cannot compete with those CVT cars on acceleration...

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Jan 18 2019, 09:52 PM) Top end is improved, but you'll still run out of puff after reaching around 200km/h, so don't expect to win any Myvis even with MBO. Jokes of the century, haha. Last week another forum member said new myvi looks like polo gti so don't try to drive 280km/h tho. So sarcasm, haha.

QUOTE(Doggystyle @ Jan 28 2019, 08:04 AM) Just a quick review, didn't do much test. The other users explained it better, there's a marked improvement between 100 to 140. If you have a few years on your car and want to feel like it's your first day getting it, do the mod, no regrets. 0-100 any improvement?

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Mar 1 2019, 10:40 PM) One example I can think of... older cars like iswara/saga trying to accelerate in what seems to be a gear too high... there is a sound that appears under this condition that I believe is engine knocking noise New Persona normal cruising pass-by also can hear this. I wonder why since gen2 campro till now still unresolved...

QUOTE(~Eveready~ @ Jul 14 2019, 07:00 PM) Hi guys, Any of u guys have replaced this car's alternator before? My Amaron battery lost all charges after car left idle for more than 24 hours... battery been used for 14 months and still under warranty. Batteryku guy came and check found that alternator charge not strong enough when both headlights & Aircond are on. Battery can still charged up to 78% after car run for 15 minutes (without lights & AC of course). Left your car 24 hours and battery fully depleted? If new battery also like that then that's some current leakage (parasitic electric draw), could be wiring shorted or some electronic component failure. If battery itself faulty, it can't hold the charge itself after recharging. How batteryku test your alternator charging system? Using meter measurement or unplug battery terminator let car run on alternator while switching on headlamp and AC? If the latter part I doubt the accuracy of this testing.

QUOTE(Klemann C @ Dec 21 2019, 08:01 PM) Well sent the car back to COSE Shah Alam and technician diagnostic conclusion it was due to component Throttle body got clogged with dust. What they did was servicing and clean up. So far observation issue not happening again. Weird enough to know such problem does occurs in Proton model. Nope, every car with dirty throttle body will encounter stalled engine especially during colder temp and waiting at traffic light/roundabout. Experienced on other car make and frequent observe this symptom on forums. So I make it a habit every 20k km do a throttle body cleanup job myself.
