So far closing in 5th years, gearbox engine still good, and no funny noise. I'm quite happy with my unit especially sideloaded with AA in pre-atlas GKUI HU

me 8 month to full 5yr.

so far only changed 1 alternator pulley, 2 battery, 1 set of tyre (going 2nd set soon), all 4 window regulator bracket
claimed when in warranty: flywheel/gearbox grounding cable? (this one i not sure)


awaiting similar spec-ed car like Jaecoo J7 PHEV/C9 PHEV(HUUUGE Battery) and dont want that stupid retractable door handle:w

I'm looking for bigger car to accomodate bigger family,
Looking at X90 but turn me off with the odd gear design and absent of AA, additionally the phasing out 3 pot cylinder engine.

Other alternatives include the spacious Innova Zenix, but a step down on interior design and material use wise, including some smart feature like auto wiper, heck this so called new Toyota still using steel bone wiper blade, although that means cheaper to maintain but at this age of time...

current time with decent price can check china car. but SUV 7seater doesnt have good one...as you need pick between cargo space/thirdrow...
better just go for MPV but not suv.

me not yet have family, but i also gonna to pick bigger car.
currently aimed to tiggo 7 phev, havel h6, jaecoo j7 phev, or sealion7 for full ev.
if going bigger than SUV.. then not much choice already and everyone are 250K+


zenix not worth to get especially with the current price tag almost 200K
unless you got it with tons of discount.

If you are looking for same segment to X90, the other best option is Mazda CX-8 which currently on promotion with RM 20k discount. Go for 2.5 NA engine and 6 seater (with a walkway at 2nd row, more roomy for 3rd row passenger).

i just did the HCA oil replacement + DCT oil change at the outside workshop when the car just finished warranty. not sure my butt -dyno, it makes it smoother gear change. Main reason to take care of the HCA since many kene when near hit 5 years and 80k km mileage++

i did DCT oil change about 70~80k.
but didnt do anything to HCA..what process of changing HCA oil? like change gearbox oil?


edit:
i plan to do it myself. as local shop mostly refuse even to change gearbox oil.

The workshop (Zordaq Bangi) removes the airbox filter casing, as picture, and removes the cap. Then use the suction machine to suck the existing old oil at the HCA parts, about 1L oil. Then refill the new DCT oil on that white box casing for 1L.
After that, change the normal DCT oil for 5L from below the GB.

suggest u visit Zordaq Bangi. they are able to perform the service even Im bring all the parts myself. Happy with this brand DCT, bought from their shopee mall + Mizu 0w40 fully synthetic for engine oil

The HCA oil they charge 1L dct oil price, using their own dct oil cz I only bring 5L DCT oil.

I kene rm100 charges for changing the engine oil + DCT oil where both of these I bring on own

those I saw who kene the HCA issue are at 80k, 90k and above 100k km mileage, and when ask owner who done above 150k km, all said they did an HCA oil change outside, cz Proton wont do it
Since mine already finished warranty, I did that, if that can prolong the HCA life. Only cost less than rm100 for 1L oil.

agree. because HCA cost like 2~3K...if a single L of oil change really make it survive another 100K...worth it.

i checking with the mechanic that help me change the timing belt, alternator pulley. see he can help or not.

cross check. HCA using the same dct oil like gearbox? or need specific oil?

same DCT oil, need about 1L

Have anyone facing eSim problem all of a sudden no 4G connection since September 2025. Without 4G, Proton Link app cannot log trips, cannot remote control (eg. start), no updated car info and no location update.

Troubleshoot:
1. I did try the reset function via the fuse box but no success few times. Failed no 4G connection.
2. Update to latest infotainment system. Lost legacy infotainment system. Failed also no 4G connection.
Latest infotainment system have refresh looks but some annoying voice door opening warning. Didn't notice Hi Proton interruption during conversation as compared to legacy system.
3. Reset to factory default latest infotainment system. Still failed no 4G connection.
4. Changed to new battery after 2 yrs plus since having symptoms car difficult to start if left without driving for over a day. Still no 4G connection.
5. After 2 months plus without 4G connection , decided to ask SC to troubleshoot on next service.

After 2 months plus of losing hope, 4G connection miraculously appeared!

should suspect your t-box (telemetry box) failing.

when you buy the car? because it only free 5 yr of 4G/remote control feature.. after that need subscribe

That's what I suspect t-box died. Was going to refer to SC to check out.

My car haven't reached 5yrs yet. Still got few more months to go. In fact I lost 2 months plus of free 1G quota due to no 4G connection. Did check with wifi showing unused monthly 1G quota due to no 4G connection.

that tbox slightly common to die for some geely model. as they all shared the same/similar unit tbox
and you cant just buy china unit to replace, because it wont sent telemetry to atlas so you will lose 4G, remote start etc feature.
so going SC is correct move.

my x50 now about 4yr 4month. i think later when it reach like last month i will subscribe remote feature for another 2yr straight. (RM14/mth, slightly expensive tbh)
me didnt use the data for long time as i switched to thirdparty headunit.

Any owners here had problem with rattling noise causes by the flywheel? I was told this is a common for X50?
