Is campro reliable? Has anybody gone more than 500k km on campro without doing any overhauling?

Despite its makan minyak and lack of power, it seems rarely we heard about the campro engine failure.

engine ok

gearbox tatau la

4G13 still alot on the road. So 4G series are most durable.

still going strong at 240k..not sure when going to reach that 500k mark..haha

what bout the 4AT for 1st gen persona. seems rarely heard any prob with it too.

4G13 mitsubishi saga engine? but i think most of them did overhauling right

Nope. My 4G15 no overhaul at all still serve well.

low income care about fuel saving.

My friend persona clocking close to 240k km as well. Only replaced wear and tear parts(tyre,battery,mounting,suspension..etc) rest original

no complaints

persona? changed mounting and shocks already?

but the car is already old tech, weak chassis. go get a new car

honda produces good transmission and engines too, they are very fuel efficient.

mine doing 200k already, mounting changed, radiator bocor just changed, shocks and absorbers still good.

confirm lost to Anime4lyfe‘s bezza……

Lose to K3-VE when it first launch.

Ma cam-pro long

what happened to this bezza?

whats that lol , never heard of it before.

campro would reliable but fuel efficiency no good

his “advance model” bezza more powerful than beemer and benz....so confirm more powderful than your campro....

I got 3 cars under my name. The 4G15 is one of it.

maybe not worth to overhaul.

First, second generation perodua myvi engine.

Performance, fuel efficiency lose to it. (Compare same level campro ofc.)

201k, gearbox change to recond. one year plus no change engine oil already. touch wood can go another year.

200k already gearbox kong? I wonder how u trash ur car and how long u did not change the gearbox oil lol. its not easy to kill a 4AT.

the engine itself is very strong.

mine already reach 210k. once it got overheated until engine died, but the internals still fine until today.

just need to rajin change oil and clean the oil sump will be fine.

what mileage do u clean the oil sump?

You no change engine oil for 1 year? Dafuk man..

Most taxis also more than 500k km

My persona already clocking more than 300km..

every 1 or 2 year. i dont really track, but if i feel it is like too long never clean i will clean it.

i think the only 1 that can drive it until 500k is proton themselves

their test car is tested until 250k KM before release for sell

saga blm..mounting n shocks changed on the 6th year of ownership if a remember correctly

Low torque at low engine speeds.

Early generation had breaking crankshafts and few cases of catching fire.

Campro CPS had engine block cracking.

LOL, it's clean dude

No need to clean it

godcar vios pon 300k kena overhaul. cedih duit habis.

my old persona, 1st gen. 11-12 years car.

160k mileage only, so far still running well and fine.
changed gasket, radiator before.

heavy vibration due to timing mismatch for the drive shaft? no idea. that's what the foreman told me. not affecting performance but just vibration can be annoying.

My last flx clocked 150k within 6 years ownership. I can see a lot of saga blm on the roads, pretty sure they clocked even more mileage than my car.

My 2008 persona baru 180k km. Run like a champ

Mounting changed before? Could be gearbox/engine mounting wearing out hence the vibration?

Bro 4G1 series is mitsubishi engine bukan campro engine la bang..

Campro started in 2004 in Gen2...

I not sure TS using which.. My old car campro with manual gearbox clocked over 260k before I sold out... Engine good power can dapao godcar in karak.. Handling syok.. Only thing is car many other prob and wear n tear.. Engine itself good..

Haha this ppl probably count mileage instead of count time

These lazy people are the ones you should blame for car makers that makes engines that does not have dipstick. And also the existence of lifetime engine oil. Burn his mother rape his house.

Why reluctant to change EO?

Campro memang easy to hit high speed, easier than to hit 0-100. After 100 it doesn't take much effort to go further.

But each campro has their quirks lah, ex : 0 low end torque for first gen campro (black top) then IAFM keep rosak for campro IAFM

CPS I'm not so sure, quite an attractive engine imo especially paired with Proton's 5 speed Manual.

TS, biar betul. If I hear the signature teppet sound, I know it's a Campro engine nearby.

How many top overhaul due to that? Taxi drivers will be the first to tell you Campro engine is 'weak'.

Campro might just be good enough for those who service and maintain their engines well, but once you use them in high heat environment (like fitting in NGV in taxis) or don't follow maintenance schedule religiously, problems crop up.

Compare that to the older Mitsubishi engines used in the old Saga, Wira or Waja or Toyota engines, especially when NGV is used, Campro has what I'd call, lack of engineering margins.

CPS is basically a vtec clone

The radiator coolant couldn’t cool it down? NGV produces so much heat kah?

I think no if I recall correctly.. Check again during the weekends

I'm not an automotive guy but I have both the old Saga with Mitsu engine fitted with NGV and the facelift 1st Gen Persona (with the IAFM).

I really love the Persona, one of the best looking Protons before the Geely comes out, it has really aged well.

When I send my trusty old Saga for tuning with the NGV specialist, I heard a lot of horror stories about Campro engines when using NGV. The money saved from fitting NGV is used to pay for engine repairs, sometimes not worth the hassle or cost, some taxi drivers with Campro Protons would rather use petrol than NGV.

how do u know its clean? most of the metal deposits cannot been seen with bare eyes.

you need to clean it so you will know the condition of the engine and if there is any sign of sludge build up. it is the easiest "window" to your engine.

draining the engine oil does not remove all deposits. especially if your mechanic only uses the sucking machine. alot of deposits still running around back in your engine.

i believe it is a good practice to be done once in while.

no change eo for one year as i always check the quality of oil in engine... eo still good why need to change?

engineering research done alot to eo, should be can used for long time. if follow bengkel, memang dia suruh tukar la.

so far so good... clocked 140k ... chg rocker cover once, timing belts, etc
but minyak not so save la.. around 8.1l/100km

u dunno K3-VE ??? is a legend .. pickup fast , safe oil , reliable.. campro is trash .. u see potong current campro car selling cheap cheap then u know trash it is

Own one. Reliable. Never overhaul clock >240k+ km. Just normal maintenance and sometime major service.

500k mark? Need another 10 years to know.

kasi up skit, tngk owner sini, dah smpai 500k ?

I find campro very "rough"
