No chance to do so, as i need to move gear to D only can hear, once move to N, can't hear. So I need another person to help me identify and need cold start.  doh.gif

If not serious, i will just leave it as so many years is there. My last change timing belt not changing water pump, that's why make me suspect is that the issue or not?

Sounds like mounting problem to me. Or worse, gearbox?

Do you mean Bold?

Looks like have API cert, looks okay. Try search on API register to double confirm. Just as long as not JTX should be fine.

The thing is from other LYN thread they cannot find the cert despite their claim. And certainly they did not display the API-SP logo on their packaging. Just the wording of SP.😂

Let's see how.

How frequent you guys change engine oil? I use fully synthetic shell 5w40, barely 7000km engine already feels bit funny, so I just change new oil.

Semi Syn 10w-40 every 5,000km

Just got my engine harness redone and now engine humming smooth like on butter. Maybe it's the rich AF mixture mode when ECU learning after being unplugged for 2 weeks.

There is 2 tensioner for our car, right? 1 is at timing belt, another is at outer part. I remember one pulley (like roller) replace during changing timing belt at Proton SC.

Just I'm not sure now is the fan belt tensioner or, alternator pulley or water pump. Not easy to identify.
*
Proton recommeded serpentine belt tensioner pulley to be changed together with timing belt because they estimate the lifetime will be same to timing belt kit.

However most of the workshops adopt the practice of rosak baru tukar. Signs of failing tensioner is kuk kuk sound as if you lugging engine in my case.

Thanks for few members here advice. I have replace the Thermostat due to fan spin longer than usual. Started last year, after change the fan motor, ok for few months, then like back again.

My Thermostat also take few days to be optimum. After change immediately can feel the fan spin shorter time, then few days later getting better, less and less spin, and spin shorter time too.

Now notice cold start drive rpm drop until vibrate quite bad. This week slightly better. Is it ECU adjust & learning? No problem before change.
*
Not sure whether is related to your issue or not. There's 2 spec of thermostat for campro in market. If not mistaken one is 78°C and another is 84°C. If you installed the one with higher opening temperature, i imagine your fan will run longer to dissipate heat between each thermostat open-close cycle. The changes in your fan behavior might warrant a coolant level check, water pump check or radiator efficiency check.

However this doesn't explain your cold start issue. Have you taken a look at your throttle body and consider a cleaning of it?

On the side note, there is a user in Facebook that run his Gen2/Persona without thermostat. But would this contribute long term damage to engine due to non optimum engine temperature remains unknown.

My is 78°C which claimed as Original from Proton, but i do notice the washer is not. RM5 for that.

Now the fan behavior is back to normal. I even notice spin also not that loud, compared to before is like full speed.

Ya, cold start drive issue normally is throttle body. I've clean it 2 years ago, just wonder why before i change thermostat no such issue, after change only obvious?  hmm.gif 
Or due to during change take out the intake filter let it run and naked cause the dirt in? But is just for 10 ~ 15 minutes only, shouldn't be an issue.

Anyway, I will monitor first. As purposely sent to clean will cost another RM100  cry.gif
*
If your fan hasn't been changed for some time, maybe it's fan motor. Average lifespan is 5 years. Just keep close monitor on temperature gauge will do.

I clean my own throttle body. Not very difficult after 2 times of practice. Tricky part is the connector. Need to push in, pull clip, then only can pull out to remove. The rest is 10mm bolts, 1 vacuum line, intake cover and one can of carburetor cleaner from Mr DIY. All the best.

Fan motor changed last year. Is 12 years car, so the motor last for 11 years. But mileage is about 150k. In fact when the fan keep spinning issue, temperature still remain the same. But not feel good as i have to keep monitor it worry will go higher.

Wow, you DIY? Lot of people warn for touching the butterfly. Normally i during major service at SC ask them clean up for me, that also is outside only, they also worry to take out. But can feel the different already.
*
But as long as it doesn't overheat then it's fine. It really depends on your driving style and traffic condition as well.

For throttle body, after you clean it you'll need to perform reset. It's documented in this forum if not mistaken, if not it's on YouTube as well. You'll need to on your car with accelerator pressed and hold for 30 secs and those.

Of course with car that old there's a chances that the mechanism will break if you force it open.

Guys, besides the oil filter leaking, is the oil sump gasket consider serious?

My last replace was 2015. Now have some burning smell after stop the engine.

Would be accurate if you clean all the leaks and access the leaks severity from clean state?

Yours not from the screw nut? It happens once on me, after service few months, leaks on the nut side.

My looks black from the upper part (near dip stick area). Wipe with tissue is oil stain, but not looks like fresh leak as my oil filter. Hope is not something else.

Can try carburetor cleaner. Remember to put old newspaper below to catch the drip after you spray.

If really it's the dipstick housing, then it's a cheap fix. Just pull it out after unscrew the anchor and replace the O Ring.

Guys, do regular part store have brake switch in stock? Feeling like wants to DIY.

Today my brake switch decided to died out of nowhere. My brake light on all the time, somehow it affected the power window. Tried tugging wires around the brake, something feels hot. It was the wire connecting to the brake switch, somehow it shorted itself.
*
Quite common if i recall correctly. But does check engine light shows up? When my brake switch fail, check engine light turned on.

No check engine light, probably because the brake switch failed mechanically. Somehow it shorted and plastic melted. Burned my finger a bit.

Might need to check for short if next replacement melt as well.

Quick check. What you guys use for power steering fluid? The one for Honda, or just ATF?

Is my dipstick too close to the hose? Proton took out clean it and apply some glue on it.

I worry to close when engine vibrate will cause the hose leak.

user posted image

Yeah it's a bit too close to be comfortable. Mine is a bit further away from hose. I suppose when your engine is cold you can always loosen the bracket screw and adjust the position, then tighten it back. Just don't force it too much else the glue give away. By the way i thought it would be easier just to change the o-ring?

How about radiator cap? Necessary to use back original or any OEM will do?

I notice if I touch on the cap sticker, little coolant will leak out. But if i clean it, remain untouch, no  leak at all. Normal? or about time to change as well. Actually like this been quite long already.

I'm using oem. Just make sure the PSI rating is the same then you should be fine.

Thanks for all the feedback .... my overheat problem seems to be a simple one, which many people actually overlooked it. It is caused by my radiator cap, the mechanic checked and suspected it was caused by it, since he noticed some coolant at the cap there. All other things were ok, so he just replaced the cap and top up water. Driving for 2 weeks seems no overheat issue anymore.

Now another issue I'm facing after the overheat issue, is the speedometer sometimes at 0km/h. I googled and most was saying speed sensor issue. Anyone getting this problem? Might need to visit the mechanic again.  sweat.gif
*
Might be wiring of speed sensor also. Last time i had this because of my mechanic forgot to plug it back after clutch change.
