Do you request for an update or it is a compulsory update for all Proton Iriz?
*
Yes I did asked the SA whether there is any update for it as the car is jerking like mad b4 the update even though calibration is already done to the GB clutch. When collecting my car, the receipt stated that the ECU & TCU was flashed with the new software and the SA said they brought the car to test at their track. It certainly felt different than b4 as the sudden RPM surge is reduced even when u floor the pedal and the lag when reversing is also gone. The throttle respond is now more linear even though I have a electronic throttle controller installed and set at F-5 (more responsive).

Just wanna inform you guys that the latest ECU & TCU software update is available for the Iriz. Went to COE yesterday for 50k service and the car is flashed with the latest update. The throttle respond is now more linear and there is reduced jerking and sudden surge of engine rpm when flooring the pedal but not quite persona's level of refinement (maybe due to the Iriz's powertrain mounting & booming exhaust noise). Took quite a while (left my car at 9am-6.30pm) for them to solve other problems such as duplicating the keyless entry key for my 1.6 Premium CVT (saw about 4 white shirt engineers and few technicians gathering around my car for 2 hours). Have to go back to COE on Monday to change my engine mounting under warranty (no stock) and complete the coding for the new key. IP noise kit for dashboard rattling gotta schedule another appointment as it takes a full day to dismantle and reassemble the dashboard.

Was quite satisfied with the effort put in by the service team and saw improvements to Proton's dreaded after sales service. Hope this kind of service and professionalism will be replicated at other service centers nationwide. Patience and understanding however is required from customers as we cannot expect every problem to be solved in 1 day. What's important is that they put in their effort to solve the problem.

This is great news. My next service is coming soon. Looking forward to it biggrin.gif .

Iriz FL spotted on the road. Looks like the black roof is confirmed and judging by the test car number plate, the 3 point mount/CVT update would be confirmed too. All else looks unchanged though, possibly a few changes in the final production version.

Oh no, my aftermarket black roof won't be unique anymore

1st question is ur car iriz 1.6mt premium?
If yes, here's your answer. Last time when I go SC the mechanic did mention for 1.6mt premium there are 2 switch on the clutch and 1 on the brake pedal. So since mine not having issue he just change it for free for me. Without asking. Coz he said, he had it coming when he press my clutch earlier and replace it free for me. Even though I did not have any issues yet to start the car. Anyhow if I given u guys wrong information, it's not from me. Hehe

Mine is 1.3MT. So what exactly did he replace? Aihh which SC is this? Maybe I go there check lor.

Normally if there is a blue no.plate then some important changes have been done to the car that justifies testing. That's really the only explanation and it's likely as well.

Dunno how much will change looks wise but I'm expecting they'll add a rear fog light and possibly front sensors.

nice info bruh

yeah looking forward to those things..

how do you know by the test car number plate? different number different update?

I would prefer if proton change a bit, maybe different diffuser design or have persona's round fog light rather than only subtle change rclxms.gif
black color slashed..replaced by carnelian brown  tongue.gif

Black is better than p*#p colour..

I'd rather have the triangular fogs now.. the light splashes even to the sides of the car..
Amazing output even from 35W bulbs..

Those round fogs are probably the same as in the Preve/Suprima, and the output is bad.. thats with 55W bulbs..

1)sent sister's iriz to mutiara damansara service center for routine service. tl;dr, they're awful and should be avoided.

2)went to pick up

3)the service guy reported he noticed scratches on the passanger side bumper and asked if i want to repaint. paint flaked off all the way to the plastic. some panel gap between bumper and fender. thankfully the metal fender is not damaged.

4)came back and confirmed with owner it wasn't there before.

5)seems like he wants to pass it off that they messed up.

6)the thing is, service guy didn't do a walkaround. i even have to tell him the mileage.

7)another thing is, i have to waste time tomorrow on this shit.

8)wait that is not all.

9)part of the basic service is alignment and balancing, on an 18 month car.

10)the steering is off center. car veers to the right when you center the steering.

11)alignment my ass. not even mad.

//update.
they offered the bumper a repaint. expedite job. but will need to let the car stay at home till it cures.
alignment is fixed, better but not perfect as factory stock.
they shouldn't have done it if it's not necessary.
that's what my usual workshop does. check it first.
my dad is suggesting voiding the warranty altogether, like his wira 94.

//update
went to check tyre pressure last night.
they just lower the pressure on one side of tyre.
when same pressure on front wheels, it veers to the right when centered.
hahahahaha.

Hey, I don't see many MT users here. So quick question, do you ever have problem to start the car? The clutch has been giving me problem on and off. Sometimes after 10-15 tries, baru boleh start the car. Took it to SC couple of times, sometimes it doesn't act up, so SC fella say nothing wrong. Other times, when it happens in SC, they will 'fix' the problem

Basically the problem still exist but I don't know how else to explain this to another SC. So I just live with it and pray the next time I want to get off a parking, it won't act up and cause the other car driver waiting for my spot to feel irritated.  cry.gif

I had this too with my 1.3 MT. Took me about 5 mins non stop trying then finally the car started with check engine light on. Drove it home. Next day when I wanted to drive to SC to check, the check engine light went off on its own. I bought an OBD so next time can diagnose. Never happen to me after that.

Guys, is there any warranty for rear wheel bearing? I've called Wanija Senawang and the SA said it didn't. Need to pay for it. My car already 2 yrs and millage is 95k.

since it is not under warranty anymore, just do it outside. find reputable shop to do it or buy the item and pay the labor. i not sure the price but u can call them and ask. if u call SC and if they said they need to check, u straight away call proton and try ask there. u can even try call multiple SC to check. my advice, call COE strait away. they might have the price list.

dont forget to report back here biggrin.gif

the price quite reasonable. my friend accord bearing price 500/pcs. U can buy the bearing from them and install it outside. IF u still have free labor at proton, why dont u try ask them to do it on ur next service?if not try to quote the price of installation. since we paid proton per hour, i think outside shop more cheaper.
