biggrin.gif its normal dude...if white smoke came out in the morning, coz the engine cold and after it burn in combusation chamber, the white smoke will come out....after 5 minutes drive usually it will dissapeared...so, dnt worry..

if yr exhaust came a water bit, it also means yr engine in really2 in good condition like the new car...believe it or not? asking the PROTON CEO  flex.gif

any one can explain how to complain to proton. send to icare had no meaning. what will be their new ceo email?
*
report to NEWSPAPER or tribunal tuntutan pengguna

BUT u must bear the procedure of the tribunal too..very complex...ah haha.

PROTON or PERODUA...both having issue with their service.
PROTON just like PERODUA...if u miss thier service schedule..they will charge u fee for not voiding the warranty..

lesson for us.
BUY international car..dont hv money...BUY hyundai i10...about same price range to saga..
got money buy dugong/city/civic/forte and so on...

Yes, most if not all car manufacturers practice this.  It is their unscrupulous means of sucking you dry.  Imagine you have to pay for 4 servicing every year just to comply to their warranty terms, despite not even reaching the due mileage.  It just doesn't make sense to me.  What if the car owner suddenly gets posted overseas for job assignment for 1 year?  How is he going to return to do the 3-monthly servicing?  Besides, with modern advance technology in engine oil research, how bad can the engine oil deteriorate within 1 year, especially if it is not being used? 

Previously, my RENAULT was also under utilized at only 2,000km mileage for the 1st year.  Even when I brought it to their authorized workshop for the 2nd service after 1 year, the mechanic even commented: "Is this a showroom vehicle? Why so low mileage?"  Yet, they still did not void my warranty but even replaced my alternator for free in the 2nd year.  Anyway, so much for PROTON.  I doubt I'll ever buy a second PROTON again.

this case happen to PERODUA too..

my previous second hand Proton gen2 2005 got issue with the radiator.

Fan patah..motor radiator lebur, takung coolant lebur (sebab panas kot), oilsump bocor, dan bunyik2 bising lain kat engine.. - repair cost RM1.5++

Lesson for second hand car :
please take ur car to wholecar checking before u face this kind of problem
better sacrifice some money before cost u much more money in the future,,

Hi All, got my FLX MT 1.5 mths ago and I noticed that FLX (not sure abt FL) does not come with undercarriage rust proofing unlike the older models. Other Proton models have this. I asked service center and they confirmed.

I asked around, it seemed this could be a cost down activity. I feel undercarriage rust protection is vital because we don't get to see them often like the top section. If it starts to rust and do not treat we are going to get FUBAR.

I asked SC if we can pay for the coat, but they also dont know if it is possible.

Anybody know where we can do this coating in 3rd party shop? I am still searching but no results yet.

"Add on"

Just found a post from a 3rd party shop here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...38&hl=anti+rust

I've asked them a few questions too.

nice info men.
later after u spray the rust protection please give us feedback
some mechanic said ur car will be smelling "hangit" aboout 1,2 weeks drive becoze of the rust protection coat.. hmm.gif

Sudden engine death=might due to loose 'harnester'. That's what my stupid Proton Mechanic told me... He checked my SAGA for more than a dozen time cant find the problem, only the last time when he really thoroughly check the car then he found the problem. So far my car never "die" while on the road, but i am to "afraid" to drive due to "dozens of time of bad experience"... my family is driving the car for me. My SAGA 1st day already stuck on the road, total LEMON. vmad.gif  vmad.gif  vmad.gif

I "hantam" the workshop manager, service personnel, car salesman and anyone from that workshop until they diam diam only.  mad.gif  mad.gif  mad.gif  mad.gif  mad.gif

Maybe is time to change another SC. Which SC you went?  sweat.gif 

All the best to your preve man !

the Biggest SC in Alor Setar Kedah. Alor Setar Service Centre Jalan Gangsa
Eon Service Center Alor Setar.

last time i sent to small SC, they refer to this Eon..that is why i directly go there for service and complain.

even the biggest Kangar Proton SC sent to that Eon SC if the problem is major....

My preve iafm+ also don't have the screw...is that purposely left without the screw ? or not in the procedure to install the screw from the factory?
*
since so far i know..no preve comes with that screw...it is their mistake..maybe they not finalize the production. why left the lubang free without screw...i dont mind if they dont want screw it. but without that screw the panel pilled off by time..if no issue come even they dont screw it..i dont mind it..but that is a issue...if Proton still continue this bullshit, 100% preve will be my last proton car.

Is normal this part doesnt have screw, you can put it in, but do remind workers if you go outside shop do some mod, they will pull directly without unscrew it~
*
yup..im always remind them about it..
it is good if they make screwless panel. but please make a good panel, which will not peel off after that.

Driving slow does not always = good FC. Even though you're using less fuel, you're covering even less distance.

yup the best way is use the instant fc indicatior.
u will found out u drive too slow your fc is too high, u drive to fast ur fc high too..
the best way is by checking the instant fc indicator and try to drive the best driving style fit to current traffic or road.

Some problems with my new Suprima S

1) rear view mirror (not side mirrors) viewing angle seems a bit odd, like cant see clearly.

2)Heavy steering

3)Heavy fuel consumption

4) some creaks and rattles can be heard from the back seat

5) Seats and headrest are very hard..

6)Android infotainment system lags sometimes and does not respond requiring an engine restart

7) brake pedal need to press harder before it will take an effect, tapping the brake lightly seems like nothing happen
