QUOTE(psyduck989 @ Apr 28 2023, 11:54 AM) Sure Iridium spark plugs is the way to go but honestly I wonder if it can perform at its peak throughout the 100k km or 5 years since we know carbon will eventually build up in the combustion chamber. For the proper EO viscosity it is partly questionable? Since the initial launch of the X50, the original available EO was the Shell 0W-20 a specification same as the Geely Coolray in Philippines or our Volvo XC40 T5 1.5L (if you consider that engine to be the same). I personally did achieve slightly better FC than the current Petronas 5W-30 as required by the Proton Book however upon checking on the Geely Coolray oil catalog it did specify both 0W-20 and 5W-40 is applicable a difference in viscosity & volume compared what Proton specify. For carbon build up really need to send for walnut blasting

The walnut blasting you mention is for intake manifold and valves I believe when the carbon build-up is due to the returning parts of the exhaust gas through the PCV valve (and for that TGDi owners can just hope it will not happen to them or very slowly since Proton claim even at 80k km they cannot find any carbon build up in the valve).

Foresee the 80k km not found any carbon build up is too exaggerate. Sure it will have since no fuel with detergent running thru it. But again, Honda, Mazda and most others vehicle with GDI configuration can take Iridium spark plugs without any issues

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Apr 28 2023, 10:46 AM) No choice but to follow Protons maintenance schedule & pricing if want to keep warranty valid. Most time customer is forced to pay for unnecessary change of items. Start sourcing for your own mechanic that is trustworthy. Once warranty is over you can buy your own parts much cheaper and service your car at your mechanic workshop. You will most likely find your car runs better as it will be better maintained. No reason for not using iridium plugs. They are better quality and return better FC. As for EO, follow the manufactures recommendation. Most manuals will not specify Sny or Semi syn, however, viscosity will be mentioned. Yup. No choice since i want to keep the warranty. 😅 Just a bit shock cos i need to service both of the car next month. 😅

QUOTE(DC87 @ Apr 28 2023, 11:26 AM) on the ground underneath the car. condensation from AC need any repairing? There's nothing wrong, normal by design, all cars drain the condensation from the cooling coil from a drain underneath the car. It's the same as the drain from an indoor unit of a house split aircon.

I just want to verify. Installing 3rd party apps on the hud will void the warranty?

Yes carbon will build up, no question. Just be vary that carbon build up on Flagship model will be faster than the other X50s. If Proton recommends 5W 30 , I'll be happy to stick with it.

Hopefully more workshop offer this service and get the price cheaper now. AC flushing now more workshop offer at rm99 as opposed rm200-300 last time

QUOTE(idkihavenoidealol @ Apr 8 2023, 09:53 AM) Whistling noise can be solved, go to your SC and complain and they will be likely to put some dampener/sponge/insulator in tweeter. This is what they do for quite some time ago, not sure whether is there any new approach or not. But there's another wind noise, sort of wind flapping noise which is caused by side mirror design. This can be reduced (if you are early batch) by changing to new batch side mirror. I'm still in the process of changing, hopefully will get positive results How are you changing the side mirror? Claim from proton or buy from them?

Hi all,
Just wondering, does Proton do tyre rotation as part of the basic service?
As I am aware, alignment/balancing need to pay extra...how about tyre rotation.

Based on experience, the tyre shop with proper recommended one are better for tyre alignment than SC

Hi, I have question regarding xeon script. If I would not like Waze being installed to my HU, do I just commented these 3 lines from both of the files as shown below? This post has been edited by helven: May 10 2023, 12:22 AM
