Huh, really dare.

I’m using Tesco fully synthetic for 10k km , no problem also. Engine still feel smooth even at 10k.

I just gt the radiator hose changed for my persona, but the technician refilled the radiator with tap water . Should I send the car for full flush and refill it with 100% coolant again ?

If no leak in few days time, i recommend send to flush, and fill it with 50% coolant + 50% distilled water (can use battery water or air suling in supermarket), or those premixed coolant. Most mechanic use tap water because they worried if there's leak then your coolant wasted already.

Using pure coolant will reduce the boiling point of your radiator content to that of alcohol, means that your water pump will work harder to remove specified heat from engine, compared to those 50/50 coolant-water mix. Something like that.

On the side note actually pure water works well for Malaysian weather also. But we need the rust inhibition function of coolant.

I could see the mechanic only top up with some tap water , need to reflush the whole system also ? Worse thing it's the proton sc that top up with tap water

Yeah... Don't expect any workshop will give you distilled water.. Is the norm in market. I always bring my own distilled water.

why they don't just ask me to buy from them ? lol

Think it's just not the standard practice. If you sending your car to Proton then you can just bring your own distilled water. If you're sending it to your personal workshop, do consider premixed as it save the trouble of your mechanic to mix it properly.

Now 167k, 13k more to 180k,
That the time to change to the second timing belt.

According to owners manual timing belt of campro should be changed at 80,000km interval, which means yours overdue 7,000 km dah bro...

Can telco equipment block car key signal?i cant lock my car when near this shop that have install telco equipment on top of their roof.if move other location no problem..this shop only 2 floor maybe too near?

correction.

proton owners manual suggest change at 120k KM
outside mech and owners suggest change at 80k KM.

why change at 80K,?because 80K mileage calculate not include idling.
we always calculate mileage without consider idling time.

167k mileage, depends on his last timing belt change.
if first change is 80k, already due 7k,
if first change at 90 or 100k, not due yet.

Sorry my fault. Both owners manual and service booklet did not mention timing belt change mileage or time.

It's mentioned in service package. The PDFs are attached in thread no.1.

Anyway i always overmaintain my car. It's really up to owner to decide maintenance style. Afterall we all pay for our own car repair kan?

 ProCare_Advance.pdf ( 38.14k ) Number of downloads: 27

use the guideline and decisions up to owners preferences and wallet.

I agree. There's no argue about it.
