you guys know any walnut blasting on northern johor or melaka area?
wanna to clean throttle body or intake.

because sometime on traffic light, on auto hold D1 or N
car will vibrate with fixed interval, slightly giving it a little throttle/accelerator vibrate will gone for now.

at first i tot rpm dropped too low, but after observation..rpm still same.
changed sparkplug like 5K mileage ago, so i suspect throttle body or intake dirty now.

issue: it doesnt happen on every traffic light stop, so reproduce kinda hard as it random appear

Better fast change back to original plug. And ensure the original not fake items. Saw one x70 post at FB, he kene fake plug end up the valve crack or broke.
FB

The ngk I use are ori ngk.
Will take sometime to buy and change stock plug, but I don think it will solve the vibrate issue.

for my 2019 model FS, not sure stock headunit cant push the speaker or the speaker itself suck.
i change the speaker to carrozeria Z series with DSP after that add subwoofer ... then change the HU

2025 not yet test drive cant comment. if they still using the same OEM 6 speaker (2 tweet+4midbass), it will be suck.

How often to change car battery?

I bought in Oct 2021, changed once in August 2023, and now Proton say I need to change again.
*
no standard guideline for that, as long as you feel it weak, you change it. or result will be stranded somewhere.

my previous battery running with charging 13.x. after lunch cant start cant even open the door. need to use physical key. while the key encased in aluminum case need looking for screw driver
if you got dashcam running parking mode, it kick in voltage low shutdown too fast, battery dying.
so now i dont see voltage alone, warranty 18 month? i change it on 2yr. worry free.

What car is yours? High electrical components?
Also alternator may sometimes overcharge and shorten battery lifespan. Else some electrical issues.

During my younger days, car batteries usually last for years. Some still do but you have mechanics and shops propagating 2 years as the max with cheap useless brands

Edit: dashcam parking mode increases the charging cycle but shouldn't shorten lifespan significantly, I think. Need to ask in Dashcam thread
*
battery drain car to car different. with x50 i don think you can get more than 3yrs. stock battery using 3yr, second battery amaron only like 18 month-ish.
and i mention if dashcam kick-in shutdown fast = battery dying, not talking how much power it drain.


tbh i dont are wira time battery can use 5yr or 7yr. only care as long as it start the car, and dont stranding me anywhere. as 2nd battery stranded me on rain day.

My X50 is Executive model, no any electrical add-ons.

The battery is DIN62L Camel Plus.

Please advice. Is this a poor battery?
*
Stock battery also camel but DIN55.
i use it almost 3yr. i changed it before stuck on somewhere...so cant tell how long it will be last.

yes, i suspect so; i think they scan a weak battery and try convince you to change; thats why i bought a battery tester and charger to diy

before this didnt thinking about this situation....this should explain why the resistant ohm have that much different.

update on these situation.
just now replaced alternator pulley, it seem like the random vibrate 'solved', drive 40~50km stopped few traffic light seem like the vibrate almost not exist(back to normal feeling)
100% not sparkplug as i switched to original plug weeks ago and not solving that vibrate.


tldr: alternator pulley fault.


will update after days of use.


Edit:
I did notice my right side engine mounting (driver side) sink slightly, probably one of the reason the vibrate i mention previously transfer into cabin
still observing until i change the timing/fan belt..will change that mounting together too.

Just to double confirm, Proton does not provide the physical owner's manual and service booklet anymore?

if either one or both doesnt come with car, just ask the SC. most likely they forgot to put it. or take out to record and forgot return it

Weirdly the alternator issue are only for those 1.5T 3 cylinders engine

pulley loose. i am fine with it as it just 50~60 per unit, if i free i can even change it myself.
if 4cyl using the same alternator...most likely issue will be there.

i think and hope for a different type of alternator. cz on 1.8T engine, almost no issues related to alternator or battery flat prematurely, except some make noise cz their battery flat after 15-19months usage for CKD x70. Technically, the CKD uses a smaller battery than a CBU model and much2 cheaper to change.

And a few shops shared videos on how to repair or solve the issue with the 1.5T alternator, by changing some pulley materials inside
*
1.8T 100% using different as it overall size different...
but 1.5T 4cyl hard to say lol. anyone get the new car mind to share pic?
