QUOTE(HarshRalf @ Aug 15 2019, 09:11 AM) The one on that page is for semi synthetic oil right? because I opt for the Fully Synthetic Oil and got a different price than that. Yes, the price stated there is for semi synthetic engine oil. This post has been edited by Elf71: Aug 15 2019, 10:32 AM

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 16 2019, 12:19 PM) Proton just called me and say my EPS lock problem is due to bad alignment, need to do an alignment adjustment. They charge RM60++, reasonable? Has your service technician provided you the error code or Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) for this EPS issue? This post has been edited by Elf71: Aug 16 2019, 04:03 PM

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 18 2019, 09:08 PM) Not related to battery. My EPS will stop working for no reason, definitely something wrong with the electrical part. Since your problem is intermittent, I also suspect it is more related electrical part than mechanical thing, maybe something wrong with the wire connection, EPS control module or sensor. I am not sure, but I guess there must be error code or DTC in log that can be retrieved to provide guide for technician to make further troubleshooting. Once you get the error code, maybe you can understand what is wrong with your EPS problem better. Also, with the error code you will know whether the previous technician was doing his job properly or not. Proton management should takes a look this kind issues seriously and put more efforts to improve their after sales services. Especially on item that is still under warranty, service center shouldn't simply ask the customer leave the car for few days for troubleshooting and end up situation like this. Customer already spend time sending the car to service center and take own transport back to home/office, find own replacement car after leaving the car at service center etc., all these at customer own expenses of their time and money....

QUOTE(HarshRalf @ Aug 20 2019, 09:40 AM) According to their website, steering system is just 3 years warranty. Honestly the 5 years warranty is kinda BS because lots of the important parts falls under the 3 years warranty. Anyways, my aircond vent cover located at the front passenger seat near the window had started rattling  . The warranty statement in website states the specific steering components that warranty only limit to three years or 250,000 (whichever comes first). My interpretation on this warranty statement is, any other steering system component which is not stated in clause 2.7 shall be automatically covered under basic warranty which is 5 years. "2.7. STEERING SYSTEM All pipes and hoses, clips, rubber boots, rack & pinion, steering rack bush and control link." https://www.proton.com/en/after-sales/our-warrantyThis post has been edited by Elf71: Aug 20 2019, 10:11 AM

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 19 2019, 06:57 PM) Ok just came back from Proton Edar. They said they might replace the steering shaft, maybe even the whole steering system. I have to leave the car for 2-3 days for them to diagnostic again. Luckily my car is still under warranty or else I have to pay RM1000++ for the parts.  Hope this time they will put all their good efforts to resolve your EPS problem once for all.

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 22 2019, 11:06 AM) I made about 20 calls since 9am, finally they picked up. They told me my car is not ready yet, wait for the service adviser to call me back. It's been 4 days and I never receive a call from them.  I think some people just forgotten we have bought the cars and create the jobs for them, yet they treat their customer poorly....

QUOTE(ben_ang @ Aug 22 2019, 01:55 PM) well, proton received bad reputation not just bcoz their build quality, actually the after sales also took quite alot of responsibility. True. Myself as an example, I feel good on my new owned Iriz and in my opinion Iriz is worth buying car. So far I am satisfied and have no complaint about the car build quality. I am more concerned on their after sales services. This post has been edited by Elf71: Aug 22 2019, 04:37 PM

QUOTE(jVIPERs2 @ Aug 22 2019, 03:02 PM) Good days are back, who cares about dissatisfied customers? If you mampu, u beli la Perodua ke, Honda ke....kalau dah tak mampu, bersyukur je la ada Proton untuk u... #donedakwah "Ya lah, kerja kuat pun bukan saya yang untung, tauke yang untung..." If workers still have this kind of "tak kisah" attitude or mindset, just wonder how a company moves on to next level?

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 23 2019, 12:40 AM) I wrote a complaint email to Proton and PM their FB page. Btw guys, do I have the right to ask for a refund for the wheel alignment which does not fix my EPS problem? My wheel alignment has nothing to do with the EPS malfunction, they did not diagnose properly and simply charge me RM63.60 for wheel alignment. If it is their mistake, I think you have a right to ask them to refund. Maybe you should talk to their manager or higher authority person.

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 26 2019, 10:44 AM) Been a week I leave my car at Proton Edar, they are still waiting for approval from HQ to get replacement part. Fxxking well done Proton. Since you have to leave the car so many days to them for trouble shooting, any chance talk to Proton HQ and getting temporary replacement car if they still can not tell when you will get back your car?

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Aug 26 2019, 08:10 PM) They did offer a replacement car, but the car is rear bumper is badly damage due to accident. I said no thank you.  That is good, at least they offer you the replacement car. Hope you will get your refund for wheel alignment as well if they have made mistake in the earlier diagnosis.

QUOTE(Xcal @ Sep 4 2019, 07:45 AM) New user here, Iriz 1.6 Exec 2019 I have few question what is the best RPM for Iriz for best FC? Also I am wondering why I can't change the display of the speedometer lcd? It always shows distance to empty. On other cars usually you can see other values by clicking on those elongated knobs? Also the media LCD screen can it be switched off and only turn on when reverse camera is engaged? Having it on all the time is a waste and will reduce the lcd life span I guess? Press your multi info display button which is located at your wiper lever. Details you can read in Owner's Manual page 75.

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Sep 19 2019, 12:13 PM) Update; After wrote a long complaint email to customercare@proton.com, they finally replied and that Proton Edar outlet contacted me. But no way I will go to that outlet again, ever. I'm requesting to change to other Proton Edar within KL area. Since you have given them two chances to fix the problem, yet they failed to solve it so it is good move to get second opinion from other service center.

Never call me since. Should i be worry?  You can install MyProton google android apps, registered your car in the apps and check out your voucher validity date.

QUOTE(Xcal @ Oct 4 2019, 08:35 AM) Actually is the meter accurate? Jam free city driving I get around 16km / l for the new iriz but not sure how accurate the meter is. Also any recommended speed to go on highway? 110 is okay? Mine is town driving, only occasionally city driving. So far have done refuel more than six times, actual fuel consumption based on actual tank refill and distance calculation is between 12.5 ~14.14km/l.

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Oct 9 2019, 09:57 PM) Just now I let my car idle for about 5mins and I notice weird smell coming out from my car hood, and there is steam coming out from the radiator cap. I just changed my coolant last week, is this normal? There is no sign of engine overheat, only 3 bars. I really cannot catch a break, problem keep popping for my car. The radiator cap is designed to keep the coolant working under certain pressure, so should be gas tight. Coolant or any gas trap during expansion will flow to the expansion/overflow tank via the spring valve, shouldn't leak through radiator cap. If steam or hot coolant leak from the radiator cap, that can explain why your car is loosing the coolant slowly. Waiting till the coolant is cold down, suggest you open up the radiator cap, inspect the radiator cap rubber seal and its seat condition, see any damage or not. You also can check the radiator cap spring valve by pressing it, is it still working or not. If the radiator cap is damage or spring valve is seizing, replace it and it would not cost you too much.

QUOTE(budakmaran @ Oct 19 2019, 10:32 AM) Just sent for 60k major service. Actual milegae is 21k Kena RM932 +- including air cond services. I think servicing the air conditioning system is optional. The air conditioning compressor system is working as a closed system, I prefer not to service it unless I really have issue with the air conditioning system.
