Hi I was wondering how has your system held up for the past few months and where did you get it done? I'm considering adding two rear speakers for passengers to enjoy.

So long since my last visit here... sweat.gif

Installed my system in Feb 17, until now still strong that I don't feel the need to upgrade anything yet. Got it done at nearby workshop in my hometown.
with cheap entry level system my only gripe is the amp noise it made when no audio input. but I can live with it, it just a hassle to manually turn off the amp though if not in use.

You can check Alpine SPJ-161C2.

My friend installed on his Myvi, sound is above my expectation for such budget speaker. RM189 iirc.

How sure r u that the sound is from engine knocking? Have u tried revving the engine while being stationary, to hear if there's any pinging noise?

I used to having this weird metallic pinging noise & i thought it was coming from the engine. Until 1 fine day, while trying to dampen some dashboard rattling sound, I removed the glove box & run my hand in it gently tapping around & found that 2 screws connecting between 2 parts of metallic sheets are not secured with nuts. Once i secured both screws with nuts, the metallic pinging noise is gone. That 2 sheets of metal parts are around the left side of the aircond blower. U can try to tap ur hand around that area.

If the noise is really caused by engine knocking, try a bottle or 2 of Techron Concentrate Plus from Caltex. Pour it into ur fuel tank when u refuel. It helps to remove carbon deposits from the fuel system & some of the engine parts. Caltex even produced this as OEM for BMW to clean carbon deposits. Same bottle design, same content, but relabeled it with BMW label. It costs RM46 per bottle. Nvr tried, nvr know...

confirm engine sound, not dashboard.. like previous posts mentioned, sound like old proton iswara/saga going up the hill.

it doesn't make that sound when stationary, only when there is heavy load onto the engine, like going up the hill at less than 2k RPM. but nowadays mine is bad that even flat surface it will make that sound.. to make the sound disappear, i have to pedal harder until RPM above 2k , but then the car will go faster when I dont want it to go faster like got traffic ahead or etc.

i haven't tried adding those stuff in, I heard its not good to add stuff into fuel, the engine oil in engine will become thick?

Bro, it's not EO additive. It's fuel addictive with PEA detergent that will get rid of carbon deposits. Every fuel on the market has additive added, like detergents, friction modifier, anticorrosive agents. The industry branded it like, shell fuelsave, shell v-power racing, Petronas primax prodrive, caltex w/ techron, bhp infiniti. These additives r one of the many factors that set each different fuel brand apart. Techron is already available in Caltex fuel, except that this Techron Concentrate Plus is a more concentrated form of it. It won't affect the viscosity of your EO.

Alright cool thanks. Sorry got mixed up between EO additive and fuel additive. Will give it a go, but after reading and watching reviews, you need to do it many times then only effective? 1 bottle won't do much.

I usually pour a bottle of it everytime after 10k service interval. All fuel already hv detergent in it. It's just that this product is more concentrated & i added it every 10k to serve as a preventive maintenance to clean existing carbon deposits & minimize any future build-up.

U might also wanna consider revving ur engine hard once in a while. It is a method which they coined it as "Italian tuneup" & it's what the technicians in Ferrari do after each service maintenance to rid carbons. The key is to rev ur engine hard & get it hot enough to naturally burn off those carbons.

Why not go Proton Edar Puchong and ask them, I believe they do body and paint work.

I think PESC Puchong is closing down as they are not 3S. I have checked Proton website and the nearest Body & Paint is neat CoSE or Seri Kembangan. Will try to go there and get a quote.

I went CoSE for help on the day itself, but got the usual rubbish response of 'tatau la encik, kite ni service centre je tak buat repair. Nak repair encik kena ke bangunan sebelah Follow Me'. Surprisingly, the new 3S at Puchong (Atiara Johan) has got back very quickly on document requirement and a call to make sure I'm fine. All that just from a Whatsapp message to their SC, talk about good customer service.

Check with your windscreen provider to see how much a replacement costs + tint (if necessary)...

The first Petronas FC seems to be an outlier and I just realised I forgot to add in some details.

I have the 1.6 Premium 2015 Model and currently using Petron RON 95. So if I convert my current FC to km/l, my FC is at 10.87 km/l which seems to be quite good.

Have you tried BHP before? because I have heard that the mileage is better but then again, it's all just hearsay.

I use BHP. Often get around 10.x-11.x km/l. Mostly city driving.

No. None are.

Anyone can recommend body & paint for Proton in Puchong & surrounding area?

I looked for a long stretched road w/ light traffic @ night time. Shift to L & depress the gas pedal WOT. Repeat a few rounds. But be cautious not to overdo it. It puts a heavy strain on our "top-notch reliable" punch CVT. God forbids if the belt snaps. Lol.

While doing it, I keep a lookout for police patrol car too. Can't imagine if i was stopped by a patrol car when doing the deed.

Police : Encik, apa lu tgh buat. Pandu laju2.
Me : Encik, I tgh buat Italian tuneup.

Our windscreen does not have any sensor whatsoever, just glass. I wonder why it is so expensive, RM1200 they say?
