i found something interesting recently.

if you parked your car with "Auto Hold" on, the next time you want to start the car, it will be hard to press the brake. it's like the brake already pressed.

lesson for me, always turn off "Auto Hold' function when parking tongue.gif
*
No such issue for myself.
You didn't press th P on gearknob when parking? Straight turniff engine?

QUOTE(JoeK @ Feb 17 2022, 03:16 PM)
unlikely i think. the prevailing rumours is that the next X70 facelift will be launched this year and they will use X50's 1.5T 3 cylinders instead of continuing with the 1.8T 4 cylinders

why would proton bring 1.5T 4 cylinders when both X50 and X70 is getting 1.5T 3 cylinders
*
Just some people doesn't mau to face reality

QUOTE(zero5177 @ Feb 17 2022, 03:23 PM)
Regardless how people claim about the 4 Cyl engine is more superior,
let's just look at market in Malaysia, we don't get any engine that can outperform this 3 Cyl in term of power & NVH we have now for similar price range & segment, it's still one of the best engine we can get for now.

Not the most preferred engine in China, but definitely one of the top in Malaysia.
*
Actually quite impressed with this engine, just the fc vsn be slightly lower would be perfect.

QUOTE(death_nite @ Feb 17 2022, 11:47 PM)
I have confident with the 3cly engine in x50 as geely works with volvo to design the engine. And even volvo used it minus the hybrid train.

Actually i dont mind at all 3cly or 4cly. Lol. Even a 4cly will vibrate much when mounting kong. Lol. Rough sound sound manly for me. Lol.

I dont understand the hate. A lot of car manufacturer pun ada je 3cly enjin and when perodua use 3cly engine semua senyappp. Lol. And i personally believe x50 3cly better than ativa 3cly. Haha
*
This.
But if you joined x50 fb group, especially chinese community. You can see sure daily have post here and there problem, other car no such issue etc.... where die die claim proton fault without common sense applied and then few specified, and well known macha appear to enforce how bad proton is....

No wonder x50 telegram group need verify every joined member is x50 user or owner.

They need to accept reality that small displacement turbocharger engine fc is like that. It only good at certain driving

they wont accept that lol.

I am not complaining about the FC..but still, if it better half or a liter FC...would be perfect.

QUOTE(exdtan @ Feb 18 2022, 07:48 AM)
I’m not sure what’s the fuss about x50. I have been driving one since 2020 and the only issue I had was wind noise and nothing else.

These people are starting to becoming annoying so I stopped getting involved in Fb group and telegram.
Well of course FC is a trade off for [b]awesome acceleration[/]
*
THIS.

especially you following 60 or 80kmh traffic and wanna to overtake.
that acceleration really help, so you no need stay on opposite lane to accelerate where increase risk.

Guys, how to shut down car correct?

Turn off aircond -> Press P on gear knob -> Press On/Off Button

Also, how to turn off music/shut down the infotainment system?

My music only off when I open door...
*
no, just turn off engine. you no need 'special' turn off the music player

I always pressed P on the gear knob when parking

I always reverse park into my house, When auto hold is on and you want to reverse park of course your foot is always on the brake
Once my car is in position, i will press brake a bit harder to stop the car and auto hold will auto engage in this situation
Thats when it happened.

Fyi also, i wasn't complaining. I merely pointing out this fact so others are aware. So let's be civil here and avoid name calling
*
Ah shoot. My bad.
I think he mean about the x50 group. Not your reply.

Hmm. Maybe after autohold takeover release brake padel before you pressing P?

Hi All,

Just want ask, if you all notice if the driver present but no seat belt sign is always on even if no car is present while the engine is on? but  have the fob inside la

I remote start then i notice the driver car seat red d. pessenger if no weight can turn off.

Thanks,

Stick
*
It its normal, because you 'started' engine where you need inside cabin to do that.


*additional
If you remote start i think it wont start meter cluster so it wont show seatbelt warning (if i recall correctly)

alright thanks, cause i put fob inside, but i went out take things from behind then aim eh the red seat still there. i thought the sensor shorted at "on" always.
*
but in another way, it TECHNICALLY always on.
because a car need a driver inside to work. so until you seatbelt it, it wont go away.

I notice the auto hold doesn't hold on my car when the slope gradient is very low, that's where I stopped using Auto Hold worried I hit on other cars, plus I still have a MT car at home don't want to get relied on full auto function too much which might cause some bad habit for me while driving the MT.

Sometimes I switch to N and Pull Handbrake manually because its easier to engage to D without pressing the rear of the lever, If engage in P need to press the back of the level to be able to engage to D.. just some user habit thing.
*
can describe situation?
i think you brake not enough so it yet activate auto hold and you release the brake and gear in D continue moving forward.

Keep see a lot issues from the community fb group, feel like wanna cancel booking haih

If in doubt, i will suggest dont buy.

but if you from X50 chinese group. i suggest less refer their opinion, not constructive at all.

because:

- when there a car got random issue (whatever the issue is). next thing will happen, a lot people appear 'claim' they have similar issue. but this time you try click in profile that so-called claim got same issue, you will know mostly just hater or troll

- every car have their own problem, esepcially ativa/x50 make car overall more complex. but people look it like 30 years ago proton saga, where nothing electronic inside (maybe ac pun tiada?)

- for more 'serious' issue, i think is the engine kong. so far i heard is 4 unit from 20K+ x50. 1 of it is Flagship, engine con rod not sure break or detached and break the engine.

- other just minor issue here and there, and I repeat: if in doubt, dont buy.

Yes, I see a lot post on SC issues for spare parts take a long time. I am still thinking la. I am going to do more test drives

I am driving vios 2010, overdue to change, been eye-ing b segment SUVs
*
that group i wont comment so much because its technically controlled by proton SA.
also they nuked quite a lot post. (true issue and troll too)

or you can consider Ativa, but still if you observe ativa group...have its own problem too.

Saw many reviewed the Right mirror is kinda designed for LHD hence limitations for the mirror angle.
*
It is. They somehow 'forgot' to convert RHD, like some car.
But that side mirror shape causing wind noise is another issue from limited view.

Both issue above need change whole sidemirror, both side internal and external to eliminate windnoise and make that mirror can view better angle.

Hi all, x50 executive owner here. Just want to ask do any of you experience the reverse gear not kicking in after shifting to it ?
I have experience a few times when the car is park on a downhill slope (car facing downhill) and when I engage the reverse gear , and let go of the brake , the car will shift forward a bit , I have to step the fuel pedal in reverse gear to have enough power to fully reverse.
*
I think it is DCT or hill hold d characteristics.
Because engine/gearbox clutch will cut the power if you on autohold or without autohold pressing brake to certain %.

when you autohold reverse and slightly press fuel pedel, it need time to clutch in. So in between that car will slide with slope

You don't put PVC seats in your flagship model. The flagship model is 10k more than premium. Either put some real leather seats & add to price a bit or at least give customer option to upgrade to real leather.

QUOTE(wcyly @ Apr 2 2022, 12:38 AM)
This is flagship model.  If they can charge 10k as an upgrade to  premium model, give real leather ot give as upgrade option.

Your statement misses the point entirely.
*
Back to the topic actually yourself miss the point.
Spec already set there, even now time travel back to 2019, it announced with basic/entry leather seat, surely you will ask : 'it already leather, why not nappa leather like x70'

Like it or not, thing doesnt work like that.

Clearly mentioned in brochure it's leatherette. You are the one that think leatherette is real leather. If you feel you're cheated, feel free to sue them for false advertisement.
Why they can't put synthetic leather on flagship model? It's not a RM300K car.
The L2 autonomous driving worth the RM10k premium. Which car at this price gives you L2 autonomous driving? Even some cars more than RM300K don't give you L2 autonomous driving.
My last reply to you. Lazy to talk to people like you that don't admit you're wrong.

Clearly like some fb group said: 'who buy x50, where no part and service part 100% stupid' (not quote on quote, but agak same meaning)
we are stupid, let them be smart/genius whistling.gif


QUOTE(JoeK @ Apr 2 2022, 09:16 AM)
Hi guys, i have rattling sound coming from the right side of the car everytime i drive >70km/h. But i cannot pin point where is it coming from

I checked the whole car, everything looks solid, no lose panel.
I even emptied the whole car from my stuff to see if it's my own stuff causing the rattle, but its not

Anybody has similar experience can share here and how to fix it?

My next service appointment is in august, so still long way to go.

The problem itself is not harmful or dangerous, it's just that it's annoying

Would appreciate other owners feedback
P/s : my car is still standard and no modifications whatsoever. Only add dashcam

Ooo.... like that ah? Then i just try to push the door panel right?
Ok i try pushing the door panel first.

The sound from your door gone until now? Or does it come back from time to time?
*
hit it with your own risk lah...lol
because i am not sure your issue same with me or not.

when it rattling you can use elbow push the panel a little, so if the rattling gone, mean you push at the 'right place'
when you release the elbow rattling came back

so you can pin point to certain section not whole panel

Then you should stop buying made in china product in the future?
unless you gonna throw out concept like apple: 'design in california made in china' is fine.



in malaysia, using illegal device or thing, user will kene the penalty not the seller. so...
I suggest you double check the tyre, if it doesnt have spec probably labeled. its illegal and no roadworthiness.

Fully agree and yes, you can get the seat extender but i doubt it is effective as it looks flimsy.
A different question, any owner install a EZBPOWER super conductor to supposedly extend car battery life by 10 folds? I m interested as worried of short battery life incidence as reported by owner in fb.
You can search this brand in fb or Google it. It's from taiwan.
Thank you
*
Ezbpower? Extend battery life 10x? More like marketing bs.
Be serious, if it few hundred can be install.
But it is 3K, you can change like 8 time amaron battery be like 10 yr(if you 1 year+- 1 battery)

Tldr make no sense.
