That's about right, I asked shop near my place they told rm185 without trade in.

You can check in the receipt whether they stated that update job.

The jerking is gone since I switch from Petronas RON95 to Caltex RON95.

Now I'm unable to open my bonnet. I pull the lever and nothing happens. Haihh...

Wanted to check my engine oil level because i noticed a few drops of oil leak on the ground. Is it normal? I was told that it's normal if it occurs right after servicing, but my car last serviced 2 months ago.

when change battery, will radio settings all gone?

Start your car before changing...
That way, nothing gets wiped...

Change battery while car is running? Wow

On a side note. If need change battery, means battery flat.. how to start car?

Jump start using the new battery then change..
Wow..is this really new to you all?

Im at proton glenmarie sc for my 50k and dashboard rattling issue. The counter told me that there was a team from proton plant stay at the sc previously for settling the issue,but now they have tour elsewhere in south. Anybody know about this?

Not really.. but.. love thy cars electronics bro...

1. B4 changing, my former batt was completely flat!.pulled out and waited 15 minutes then put a new batt.
2. Started the engine with no prob..one crank only!..
3. Then i noticed anti -slides icon lighted for about 15 minutes, afterwhich it was gone after driving 3 or 4 km
4. I noticed too, nothing has affected on the equipme nts, radio etc.
5. The car just as good as new 😍

Hmmm...not sure whether it affects the electronics since the alternator should be the main power supply when the engine is running..but no harm to be cautious, and resetting the radio ain't that much of a task..

A battery acts as a damper.. the alternator puts out something north of 14v i think.. and in bursts.. its not smooth.. removing the damper, makes voltage spikes possible.. the TCU is particularly sensitive to voltage spikes..

Hmmm... thanks for the info!

happened to me also...but you can still open it if you try harder and carefully try to feel for the bonnet lock with hand and can unlock...later during my service i complained about this and SC fixed it.

Remember the cases where lots of Proton have ecu problems when they were jump started or when jump-starting other cars?

Yeah..but honestly I have not met with an actual owner which had this problem... it's all frm fb, which Proton has blamed on wrong jump start procedure..

Haha if u have the money why the wait.. hehe

I did jump start to my father's flx before. both cars showed no issue. and replacing battery while engine's running is common practices to keep all settings from reset afaik. Rather, doing it otherwise will surely give voltage spike (sudden 0v to >12v)


Just did tire rotate last month, now bunga tayar depan still deep, must not waste that effort.

they probably did clutch adaptation... mine i did the same also

Well, I guess the spike everyone is worried about is on the alternator whereby it usually provides about 14V instead of 12V which the electronic items in the car works on.

Though there is a voltage stabilizer in the car, many says the battery is the main stabilizer to ensure 14V from alternator is maintained to 12V when it gets sent to the other electronics.

So by removing the battery, your car electronics are exposed to the risk of overload due to the possible 14V from the alternator...that is the main concern ppl have on keeping the engine running while changing the battery.
