I don't know if there is any branch that offer 1.3 test drive unit. From my observation Iriz usually gets 10-13km/l in city and around 14-18km/l on highway on average, I heard the Jazz hybrid can reach up to 20km/l.
*
Google says Honda Jazz Hybrid 2017 is about 3.9L/100KM or 25km/l. Paultan says can even go up to 33km/l. No point comparing with the hybrid in terms of FC notworthy.gif

Guys, whenever I make a u-turn while holding my steering wheel especially to the right side, got gruk gruk sound from the front wheel area. I informed the SC about it and they applied lubricant to the front suspension part (am not sure which part cause I observed from afar). The sound still exist albeit a little less loud than last time. From online research, there could be 3 problems :

                                                  1.the cv joint worn out
                                                  2. Pebble stuck in between brake
                                                      pad and rotor
                                                  3. Faulty wheel bearings

The sound only appeared when I make a tight turn while pressing on the accelerator. I'm driving a 2015 Iriz cvt executive with 82K mileage still running on stock suspension and brake pads except for newly replaced rear wheel bearings.

I strongly believe the possible culprits would be no 1 and 3 judging from my car mileage and usage (am doing Grab part time). What do you guys think?
*
Bearings would make sound even on straight road.

2 options: either complain to them again and waste time, or go to a proper mechanic.

I need to know if you all have the same issue: my Iriz headlights will dim for a second, and aircond slow down for a second every 15 minutes or so (depends on how high I set my aircond temp).

Only happen recently or from 1st day of buy? iinm some component sometimes might need a little more juice so they will take a bit of juice supplied to the headlamp and supply to the more needing component. Or could be signs of weak battery.
*
Since purchase in July. Hopefully it's a sign of a weak battery. I'm really hoping it's not the alternator or some wiring issue which requires me to leave my car at the SC for a few days.

If nobody else has this issue, then I better bring it to my company's mech shop. Find solution elsewhere, then bring SC and tell them what's wrong.

Yeah the air cond compressor  is loud af. My old Savvy also not that loud but still offers around same cooling power.
*
2019 facelift still has that obnoxious compressor, which rattles the car a little at standstill. + tensioner sound when switch on the aircond after cold start. I actually wait for the car to warm up to 1 bar before driving, then only after 2 bar I switch on the aircond, but still that damn tensioner sound.

I was told by my mechanic that mine is rusting also. Friend of mine recommended me to change to aluminum one.
But normally people will just add tap water when the level drops.

QUOTE(HarshRalf @ Oct 3 2019, 02:55 PM)
yeah depending on the deposits and rust formed it should be okay as long as it is flushed periodically.
probably there are some leaks on your radiator. Check whether its really unfixable by your mechanic. You could bring your car to radiator specialist cause sometimes they could fix the leaks that most workshops couldn't.
*
I'm not sure tap water would be good, since the risk of using water is rust. Coolant wouldn't cause rust so fast. I had brown color water before in my gen2, and it was due to rust because I was using water. I decided to flush (might take some time to do, since they might need to flush a couple times). I watched ChrisFix on youtube before going to the mechanic to do the flush, to ensure he's doing it correctly.

Leaks could be due to head gasket, usually. Have to send to specialist to repair.

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?
*
Just use the standard method: 1) pump full tank, 2) keep the receipt for litres, 3) reset trip meter, 4) then drive. e.g., 34L = 380KM, equates to 11.2 KM/L or 8.9L/100KM. That's what I normally get for mainly city driving.

Just use the meter as suggestion for your driving style. So far, the eco-assist light has helped me drive more economically.

Hi guy..need verification ..as im barely drive my car on night also daytime, it is the low-beam light is kaput ady? Only figure this out last night when driving..cant see properly with low beam

When set to 1st light..only drl is dim..no light on inside / outside light
[attachmentid=10329321]

When set to low beam, drl is dim, only outside light is on.
[attachmentid=10329322]
*
When light are off: DRL only on.

Go up a step: very low beam, barely visible. Perhaps for light rain? since your tail lights would be on. DRL switches off.

Go up another step: normal beam. DRL switched off.

Pull the lever: High beam which are separate lights, in the middle.

That's for the 2019 Iriz Premium. Should be the same, I guess? Except for the projector headlights.

Bad stuff:
1) Those shitty tyres from the factory has got to go! Can't believe how many time VSC has kicked in when I'm taking an exit from the highway shakehead.gif
2) The head-unit is quite buggy. Sound turns on when you reverse, it doesn't remember settings when you turn off the car. Can be rectified with an update from Proton, I think.  hmm.gif
3) Not a fan of the reverse camera, the lines are a bit misleading to me.
*
1) I'm planning to change to Michelin XM2+. Fitted them on my gf's myvi, and it's quiet. Quietest would be CC6, but I'm not a fan of continentals wet grip (bad experience). With your driving style, seems like PS3 would be a better fit. Lel
2) What settings? Like volume and such? If it's buggy, do a factory reset.
3) I use the reverse camera just to check, especially because my reverse sensor a little slow on the alert.

Just put on 195/55/15 Michelin PS3. They're the same price as 185/55/15 XM2+ anyway.

I went to change the tyres immediately after collecting my Iriz Premium. No regrets.

XM2+ has better fuel saving. I need that since I'm stuck in jam like >40 minutes a day.

Already made my mind up to swap it out in the next few months to PS3s  brows.gif
1) Yeah, I'm going to go for the PS3s soon  drool.gif
2) There's a well-known bug that audio would turn on randomly when you move it into reverse. The others are like the FM radio turning on and playing automatically when you start the car. The unit also don't save my settings such as me turning off the touch-tones  hmm.gif Anyone else face this issue?

1) Nice
2) I had the FM Radio problem. Just reset, problem solved. I updated last month OTA.

In a jam, fuel saved from less rolling resistance is negligible.

I beg to differ.

I don't think that's how fuel saving works.  sweat.gif
*
My idea is something like this: initial acceleration from stationary requires more fuel as compared to ones which are already moving. Having tyres with a lower rolling resistance would help me accelerate "easier" during traffic jams. The traffic that I go through is not stand-still, it can move for like 30 seconds, then stop, move 20 seconds, then stop - there's a lot of light acceleration involved.

Reason for XM2+: 1) quiet enough, 2) all-rounder, does not sacrifice performance too much, 3) mileage (supposedly XM2+ solves the issue with the previous model: oxidation that cracks the tyres after 4 years), and 4) hopefully, better FC. 1% better FC better than nothing. sweat.gif

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.

I'm guessing there's a very small leak at the radiator.

The ac used to be freezing cold even when temperature is set to the highest but these few months it has been the other way around.

The first time I sent my car to SC regarding this issue they topped up the gas and it got better for about a month.

The second time around the mechanic told me rather impatiently that there is nothing wrong with the ac and that all I had to do was to lower the temperature.

The explanation sounds logical but the ac would still take way longer than usual (about 30 minutes on a rainy day) to get decently cold even when temperature is set to the lowest. I've never had such a problem with my previous Gen 2 and it's truly odd because Proton cars are known for their ac system.

Is there perhaps an explanation for such a phenomenon?
*
Honestly, it's hard to say, if you have left it at the lowest possible temperature for many years, then your compressor could giving problems and it unable to work that hard anymore. If you live in KL, there's a shop I can recommend who only do AC related work.

All AC mechanics would tell you to leave your temperature control at 1/2 (middle), and don't put to it the lowest for too long.

Been noticing an odd thing with the lights of the car, (1.6P 2019 facelift) - anyone notice the automatic headlights a bit aggressive?

The lights will turn on in an early bright morning or rainy sunshine day. Then the bootlight has also been rather inconsistent, it turns on sometimes, and doesn't turn on sometime. Anyone experience the same thing?
*
Yeah, their sensor is bonkers. I'm just turning on/off the lights manually. My SA told me to go to SC to change the sensitivity.

As for the boot light, mine always turns on when I open the boot.

-Do you all feel that the driver's door is very hard to close?

-Anyone face the problem of the 40:60 rear foldable seat button problem? It's very hard to lock the seat back after you fold it down unless you hentam it kuat like crazy as the SC worker told me yesterday. sad.gif
*
1) No. I added a rubber between the rear and front doors, only then the driver's door became hard to close. It's not a light door, and may require a little more force.

2) Yes, I folded the seat the other day, and it is difficult to put it back in place. I just pulled the "button" when putting it back in place. If not, have to push hard which might damage something.

I guess that must be the cause then. I've often left it at the lowest since I bought the car.  doh.gif

Unfortunately, I live in Perak and don't go down to KL that often anymore. What are the possible solutions to this inconvenience?
*
A viable solution would be to send it an AC mechanic to check it out, because there are many parts at play. I had a friend who was complaining his aircond was not cold, but once checked, the outside air was coming in because he did not change it to re-circulate (only interior air).
