Finally get to claim new side mirror from Proton.
I was one of the first batch owner with the side mirror wind noise problem. The new side mirror have minor bump that deflect the wind away from hitting our windows.
The right side mirror can also turn outwards more for better view.

However, what I did not anticipate is after changing the side mirror, my 360 view gone kaput both left and right side. It does not align anymore.
After SC calibrate, the view got worse! Now my front and rear camera view are lowered, left and right view not balance.

Anyone know if we can calibrate the 360 camera manually?
I've only managed to see "auto calibrate" in settings.

P.S-my HU is still GKUI btw

I did not notice such obvious difference that make my life tough, although I did not actually compare before and after

Mind to show a photo of how terrible it become?

definitely not working for GDI. The fuel mix with fuel cleaner are not shooting to the valve body which will clog with carbon deposit later due to GDI configuration. Just safe the money and do Walnut Blasting instead at 60k or 80k km interval.
*
Interesting approach, although Proton test period claim their unit does not have significant carbon deposit after 2 years of test but would love to see any owner who checked the condition especially those who clocked near 100k km

Didn't say mileage though...

QUOTE(amscouzach57 @ Mar 27 2024, 06:54 PM)
Maybe they are technically right if they consider 20k km per year. After 2 years only 40k km.
*
yeah their 100k km can be anything... say 5 units X50 each clocked 20k km can also mean combined 100k km
And having carbon build up they still can downplay it being not threatening as the engine still running.

All manufacturers with GDI kene. Unless they use combo gdi + port like latest VW engine, camry latest engine.

Yeah not denying it won't have just want to get a gauge often how much is considered serious around which mileage, I believe the build up is already there even when mileage <10k

Dear X50 owner,

Would you say that x50 is a reliable car?

I'm seriously considering this car to replace my aging Proton Iriz, I'm leaning toward SUV because it's easier to carry baby in and out the car.

My 2nd option is the new Honda City Hatchback.

my 3rd option is either Honda HR-V or Toyota Corolla Cross.
*
Do you hate your Iriz in term of Reliability?
This X50 should be better than the Iriz. It wasn't a very old car just 3 years + down the road but premature failure were rare.

Little problem here and there was there on the earlier model like windnoise were resolved with new side mirror.

Other stuff u need to bear with is it doesn't handle as good with Iriz/Persona the suspension on the softer side + the FC can be bad if mostly city drive, highway drive FC were pretty good as long within speed limit.

I have Persona with Iriz platform so I can relate them closer than others who doesn't.

Is my main car, but despite of that my mileage very low after I relocated to city + WFH.

I clocked <30k km after 2 years half

hi folks, anyone had to replace their HCA? having issues with durian logo and seems to happen on an especially hot day (temp 37C on dash), the clutch seems to "slip" and only shifts between 2,4,6 only 1,3,5,7 never engages... recently went to sekinchan and suddenly in 7th gear its like the gear just slipped back into neutral and u press the gas it just rev up but car never picks up speed. had to stop/restart car then durian icon and check engine light came on and 2,4,6 only

read alot about HCA issues in general but not quite sure which SC can properly diagnose this. even with COSE now no longer directly operated by Proton im not sure if thats a good place to go anymore?

No more warranty?

what is the average waiting time for RC Flagship? SA said depending on color about 1 month. Plan to go for jet grey but if ocean blue will be faster.
*
I don't have answer for this, I think depends on your urgency, wait time for X50 today is not like when it is launched which takes >1 year.

If can wait just wait for the color you want if it is just 1 or 2 months time

Hi everyone,

Sharing an update for my tyres - decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 with 235x50R18 and it’s been ~2 weeks driving around town, up Genting and on some highways. They cost ~Rm670 per piece and tire shop charged additional RM55 for alignment.

Overall, quite happy with the tyres vs stock UC6 and would do it again if needed. Couple of observations:
1. Much better wet & dry grip than UC6, particularly noticeable these few days as KL has been very wet and many roods floodded
2. Handling overall when overtaking/cornering feels much more confident and less understeering effect
3. However, I feel that overall 0-100 acceleration is marginally slower.. I didn’t time it but maybe it’s an effect of new tires, wider tires etc, but I do feel it takes a smidge longer to get up to speed.. anyone else can confirm/deny this?
4. The aesthetics is super pretty with the “velvet touch” wall.. probably one of the key reasons I landed with the Pilot Sport
5. Speedometer change is ~1-2 km/h so tyre shop say no need to do recalibration

Hopefully helpful for other owners who are keen to change tyres.

How's the tire noise?

Hello, I want to ask do your cars frequently experience wheel spin when accelerating from standstill. Eg when quickly crossing a T junction or going up slopes at parking lots.

My x50 seems to wheel spin a lot and the engine/transmission gives off an unpleasant sound when that happens
*
Normal occurence when going out junction in hurry, even my other MT capable to wheel spin like that when accelerate from stop.

Also another sign of tire not grippy enough

Wow.. 2 x50s? Nice. At least now exec version upgraded with 10.3 Ihu and full digital meter cluster also and with improved NVH.

Im driving 2019 proton persona now and many major parts need to change already... And considering the persona FC is more or less worse than x50 *after reading from other owners*, it kinda makes sense to move on.

So only thing major  i need to look out for is the flywheel sound?
*
As a Persona VVT with MT owner, I would say the Persona FC is significant better compared to X50

For instance, when I can clock around 13-14km/l on Persona
But on flagship X50 I only get 9-10km/l

Fuel consumption is high especially on City is way higher, but it can give u power equivalent to 2.5L engine.
Long distance drive however is just slightly worse than my Persona, about 1 to 2km/l difference only

Mine have Flywheel sound on 3rd year, so far haven't change, the sound actually not loud and bearable, so i did not rush for warranty yet since 5 years warranty seems to include this.

Exec is good buy for a basic model, way better than Ativa in term of NVH, comfort and space.. including internal materials feels.

Im driving persona CVT... Getting 9.5km to 10km/litre for 100% town driving. Im pretty light footed and rarely go over 2000rpm. Your persona is manual so im not surprised you are getting respectable FC.
*
U can expect the X50 to hit around 7km/l in this case, the FC is much higher in town driving, and one thing I didn't like is the gear 2 configuration, it hesistant to shift to gear 1 unless complete stop, which makes going out junction when u not fully stopped will be awkward because u feel underpower, step a bit more it suddenly downshift to 1 and jerking the car a bit.

So usually near junction I will Manually downshift to M1 first

nope. my friend told me because x50 is 3 cylinder pick up slower and when i feel it dont move, then i press more so that happened..
*
If u are in low speed, it is the gearing problem, because as long u are not in complete stop, the car won't downshift to gear 1, to mitigate this you probably need to Manually downshift to 1 when going out junction.

The Engine itself is very powerful

Interesting find on the flywheel issue,

recently I took to service center complain about the noise, they said it is actually the grounding cable, they swapped with a new one the sound is gone, but need to order so they put back my old one, turns out even with my old grounding cable the sound is gone.

I think that's good news that the flywheel wasn't that bad anyway

You know what's funny? Even they changed to this new 4 pot, I saw comments in China forum suspecting this new 4 pot mills were in-house developed probably purpose is to cut down paying loyalty cost to Volvo and they think the 3 pot could probably be the better ones rclxub.gif

So far I have no issue with the 3 pot though for 4 years and counting.

But would be interested to try out the 4 pot someday

what kind of noise?

Is the kind of loose noise at acceleration that is more obvious at 6th gear, people often call that Flywheel noise, the SA admit this too.
