Hi all,

Want to know which oil should I use . Smei or fully ?

What is the different .

Thanks

After few yrs bringing in Ertiga to malaysia, the only update is a touchscreen head unit, and costs extra 3k ??

Proton oh proton...

Hi. New Ertiga owner here.

Question about FC.

1. How is your Ertiga FC? Full tank city drive can reach how many KM?
(Mine is unstable, best is 430km full tank, worse is 250km full tank, I am a light footer)

2. Do you drive with overdrive on or off? Which one is the right way for better FC?
(I asked the Proton mechanic, they ask me to drive with overdrive off for better FC, which is different from what I see online, confused)

Thanks.

I also got the Ertiga not too long ago. 250km per full tank is way too low for your driving pattern. My 100% city drive will give me 430-450km per full tank. I don’t consider myself to be a light footer due to the road I travel everyday consists of many hill roads with lots of ups and downs. My rev range usually is around 2k to 4K max. Anything beyond 4K rpm is just making your engine roar with no significant push to your car.

However my full highway drive from KL to Penang will give me very good FC at around 580-600km per full tank with speed limit obeyed all the time up to 110km/h max. It is living up to claimed 6L/100km by Proton.

My only problem is the slight vibration from the engine/transmission when revving at around 1.5k rpm using 2nd gear. Gonna send to sc maybe after cny to find out what’s wrong.

Do you think the extra safety features worth the extra 16k?
I'm considering between these two cars.
Headaches

Anyone facing kok kok sound on specific road conditions? Sc could not solve the issue or just decline to solve it. Foreman outside said is steering rack issue.

yeah .me too.
mmg aku rasa mmg problem..
go proton sc buat aduan.. they said normal.. fak betul

Steering itself cause 3k, that's why Sc don't change for us. I went to 2 Sc, one changed asborber mounting, another said is absorber link issue.

I will go sc HQ to check next month. Yours also got same issue?

This one no need ask SC... SC tried all sort of stuff, still noisy.
Then I went MR DIY to buy Silicone Spray (White bottle), Spray on the pedal rods and the sound is gone. However bear in mind it will come back after a few months, then need to respray.

u mean the book?
still got it. .but really forgot to check it

Thanks for your advice.

went to COSE shah alam.

Day 1 - send my car to service center and inform service advisor the issue, and leave car there. Received call from service advisor saying they cant test the issue i mentioned (i wonder why they cant get technician to test with me before i leave car there!!), want me go back to test for them.

Day 2 - go to SC and test for them.

Day 5 - collect car but found that issue is not fixed, inform service advisor, make appointment on the spot.

Day n - send my car to SC

Day n - received call saying they cant rectify the issue, they will arrange mechanic from suzuki to fix the issue

Day n - received call saying can collect car, parts has been ordered.

Day n - never receive any call from SC

Day n - after 1 and half month i call SC, they said parts arrived

Day n - made appointment with them, 19th Aug to install parts.

Day n - to be continued...

steering shaft defect, working well now.

i just checked parts price from Indonesia suzuki website, parts itself cost more than RM2k!

You can refer to my service advisors was Sufna and Zafri. Good luck!!

You not going to fix yours? Don't think they will do recall back.

U didn't service at SC?
How to choose oil at SC then.. All must follow them

Thanks for the input.

My main use would be city driving and would not be carrying much loads in terms of use of boot space unless its something out of the ordinary for us.
Saga also would be my consideration but was a little concerned on cabin space and comfort level inside compared with ER3.
Slightly leaning towards the ER3 though but my other concern is if the model would be continued. Even the new face-lifted ER3 model of 2018 is not available here compared to Indonesia. They got the latest model while ours just from the 2016 model. With Proton toed with Geely, not so sure if getting the ER3 would be risky in the long run.

I could be wrong though. These are just my fears.

Ertiga no more in production.
Suzuki has stop supplying kits needed to assemble whole units of Ertiga's to Proton.
However if not mistaken, Suzuki is still supplying the parts needed to continue servicing Ertiga's and other Suzuki models.
