hi blueeyes,

Actually i'm facing this problem with my BLM very long time already....So annoyed with all these sounds inside my car....

1) whenever i go on some bumpy road....my front passenger door area there will have some metal knocking sound....there are times when even if i pick-up or step hard on my paddle for that extra power also, it'll have this metal knocking or rattling sound around that area....
I have already bring to SC to rectify this problem already, but it doesn't seems to seems to rectify my problem...they put "sepit" some newspaper inside my door trim and also put some sponge around that area....at first it helps...but after a while, the sounds came back again.."

2)I could hear some funny sounds when I step on my brake. It is something like pump sound. I tried to tell the SC but they just simply try pressing the brake and say it's the brake pump sound. Pardon me if i'm wrong, but it does not make sense when you press your brake, you can hear the brake pump sound inside your car. I tried telling the technician who went for the test drive with me that time after he put in the sponge to solve my front passenger door area rattling sound. I ask him to hear the "pump" sound when I step on the brake, he is also suprised as the sound is very loud. Everytime when I step and release the brake, sure got this sound. This is really irratating me. Even my old 10 year old car doesn't have all these irratating sound. Can't proton do better??? Mine is a new car, and with all these sounds here and there.....it is worst than my 10 year old proton satria.

One more thing, when I bring to SC to check the rattling sound for the front passenger area there....after some checking, we found out that when we try knocking on the fender, the sound is the same as the rattling sound or metal knocking sound inside my car. They suspect is the fender, so they try taking out the fender, during the process, guess wad we found out??

One of the screw that ties the fender to the car body, the first one from the headlight, "patah" already. Stupid Proton just use those glue to glue it back. I'll try to draw out how it looks. I was so f**king stunned that time. Is this what we get for RM40k??

CURSE PROTON!!!!!

15W50 oil is actually on the thick side
many cars now use 10W40, with some going 0/10W30 (like the city)
switching to lighter oil should give about 5% better comsumption
*
5% fuel consumption....i agree that is better than nothing....but the important point is.....it doesn't care what grade oil i'm using.....let's say it's just 5% difference.....but my FC now if compared to others....don't you think that it's such a huge gap.....5% of 250km is around 12km only....so what's the difference if i change the oil grade....rm57 for 262km is still such a fuel guzzler....

then how bout myvi the so called TOYOTA tuned car? not cheating you?

better interior design? I don't think so, go slightly scratch the both car plastic interior with your nail and see which one got better quality plastic interior. design looks good doesn't mean the material is good. this was based on myvi user complained and i tested myself.

yeah ABS for extra safety but i don't think it is a must for every car. go around the world and check the car accident rate, why malaysia always got the highest even compare with ABS (malaysia) to few years back that ABS still not implement to car yet (oversea)? it is driving attitude that make malaysian thought ABS is a must, people like you thought having ABS can save your life? without speeding and maintain the distance between car, ABS will never kick in until you change the car. I've been driving waja with ABS for more than 5 years, I never use the ABS, not even once, I don't think ABS is a must for car, it just an extra safety feature and it is optional. with good skill, attitude of driving, ABS is useless.

waiting period so what? myvi need to wait that time i didn't see you complain about myvi? now saga need to wait and you complain about it? most new car when launch that time sure need to wait for a while to get the car. myvi already been released to the market for quite some time, you comparing the waiting period time? are you the one who dumb to do the comparison?

i got wira, waja, saga and unser at home and i drove camry, kancil, sephia, civic, myvi before. I don't feel much difference between those car steering. if you get into dislike of something, for sure you can get some reason to dislike it.

what engine you think myvi used? you thought it is not noisy? try drive fast and compare the noise, i dont think it is quiet than saga. you want to talk about waja, then how about talk about kancil, kenari, kelisa and complain about the noisy engine and wind sound?

honestly, i drive constant 100-150km/h in highway. i never said i drive 60km/h, dont try to be smart ass. no matter how fast i'm driving, i'll keep at least 3 cars distance in front of me, if raining or wet condition, even further. who say drive slow in highway will get hit by other cars? you are the one who got those thinking that cause car accident all the time.

ABS, yeah for emergency brake, but with proper driving and distance, ABS will never kick in as i said earlier. I did have some experience on emergency brake but with the distance in front of me, I don't need ABS to help me the braking. YOU.....I guess you always tail gate until when brake it will automatically lock the tyre because you are too scared to drive slow in highway and thought highway must drive fast....

how good you think Perodua has? Check around and see are there lots of complain about myvi? less doesnt mean dont have, this same goes to proton, not everyone has complain. If both brand comes out in the market together, i dont think perodua can get that much support since the QC is the same.

We are not talking about modification, we are talking about stock car. If want to talk about modification, then no matter how bad the car is, I can just change everything to track car parts and hell yes I would say, just 40k+ or lesser only...

BUt i did compared with my fren myvi's FC when going uphill n downhill....going uphill...both our car consume 1 bar and with all those driving in Fraser Hill's town area and goin downhill....both our cars consumed 2 bars when we compared at the end of our day during departure. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

* Please take note of the weight difference of our car.
Myvi --> 3 passenger with adequate luggages
BLM ---> 5 passenger with hell lot of luggages and other stuffs like 1 box of 6 x 1.5 lt water, 1 box 12 x 600ml water,foods for 8 ppl for 2 days, induction cooker, pan, etc.
