How not effect RV when current pre-facelift model, SA give up to rm15k rebates easily

Original spark plug? Cz long time ago, workshop make mistake, give wrong spec spark plugs for old car model, give similar symptoms as u mentioned.

Almost all model back to 4 cylinders turbocharge engine. Customer voices are putting that demand, NVH are main criteria. 3 cylinders doesn matter how much effort make for the anti vibration practice, it still vibrates more than 4 cylinders. And FC not differ that much for 3 vs 4 cylinders when both in turbocharge engine

Definitely 4 pot more stable, what I meant is hater gonna hate, regardless what change they sure will suspect something. Like in this specific comment that I referred to, even the 4 pot were an upgrade, some could still suspect it was for cost saving and trust Volvo engine were the better ones

Like the ACC and 360 cam for premium, but hate the leather and power boot 😂

And of course exec price

not original tbh. using NGK Ruthenium HX.
but since you already mentioned..probably i will buy original one and test.


but it doesnt happen every single idling...thats the weird part.

Why hate the power boot? Too slow?

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.

Seeking Good Independent workshops in PJ/Puchong/Rawang.

do you still patronise proton dealerships for servicing after the 5-year warranty is over?

have a 2022 X50. Looking for good independent workshops in the 3 areas. reasonably priced, X50 expert knowledge (for sure) and having proper diagnostic tools.

i'm looking to lower my regular maintenance costs without compromising on quality, and often you can get that through independent workshops. Finding a reliable and trustworthy workshop is like finding gold in your backyard.

Proton service centres will often tell you to change non-critical parts according to fixed intervals even if they are working fine.

On a related note, what alternative engine oils are best matched to the X50 3-pot engine? where are the third-party parts suppliers that sell OEM/original parts if you can't get the parts pronto from Proton itself (which seems to be a common complaint among owners)?

Have changed the Camel battery to Amaron recently after it went kaput after just 18 months of use. Changing to Amaron doesn't void the vehicle warranty, does it? Battery warranty would be transferred to that offered by the Amaron distributor in Malaysia from what i gathered. All electric/electronics working fine, alternator working normally.

i remembered years ago that some of the batteries i used in past cars can last 3 to 4-plus years. Nowadays, battery lifespan is two years, according to Baterihub technicians.

thats true

3 cyc really is rough

its day and night even if u sit in a brand new x50 or x70 3 cyc vs in a low spec honda city for example

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.

Any audiophile can give a review on the speakers?

which model you asking? 2019 or 2025? lol

Both.

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.

Yeap me old school haha
And power boot more maintenance

I'm no audiophile but my 2010 persona sounds better.

But then again it's something that you can easily replace outside and doesn't affect major components warranty anyway

Anyone got do a comparison of the launch Exec X50 vs the latest upgraded Exec X50? How are they able to offer a significantly upgraded car, at the same price point? Note the Exec X50 launch price was RM84.5k and the latest upgraded version also costs around there with the launch rebate.

They earned more last time, now they earn less. All thanks to competition. Protection and tongkat is what bringing down humans capability to compete.
