wah 4pcs x rm160=RM640 just for spark plug change?..now i know that owning a car is not easy.. rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif ...lucky parents pay... biggrin.gif

nope... you've got it wrong... the price is for one set that consist of 4 pcs (standard fitting needs 4 plugs)...

btw... you can extend your spark plug life by cleaning the dirt (black deposits at the tip of the spark plug) on your own.... meaning self service the spark plug...

i bet lotus engineering does more study since after waja to improve more. my waja not cps, it's 2001 model.

yes... you'd be surprised to know the level of improvement they made to waja cps.... smile.gif

in fact (sshh...) you'd be even more surprise to know that kejuruteraan teratai malaysia did almost all the work on all new proton models (including campro and campro cps)..... wink.gif

It is mean that we can't use free second service voucher if our second service is 10k..??  rclxub.gif

from my personal experience, i think its still ok ...
because for some reason SC (perodua too) doesn't care at what mileage you came in for the free services...
even though it has mileage expiry, it seems to me they are not rigid about it...
besides you still pay for the parts, only labour charges are free...

aaahh... our good friends from down under seems to appreciate Proton car a little better. There are nothing that they don't know about Proton. I remembered reading about their excitement about the possibility of Proton-Volkswagen partnership.

Proton cars received good reviews down there. Apart from GTI or Neo, Proton Jumbuck (Arena) is another bestseller.

In UK, Humberside Police are so impressed by the Proton GEN-2 that the force has purchased 20 GEN-2s. They use various Proton cars before.

In an episode of Mr. Bean playing recreational golf, some claimed it was Proton MPi (locally known as Iswara) featured in one of the scenes.

teratai is belongs to proton ma....how come they turn down? that means proton ask china maker to manufacture the car?
*
from the info i received (a while back), the design goes to a china car maker and they will manufacture as their own not for Proton...

although teratai is owned by Proton, they operated independently (separate payroll and income, proton collect as group income). it is very costly to directly engaged teratai uk for any jobs by proton (they are paid in pound sterling). that's why teratai malaysia is established. structurely teratai malaysia is a subsidiary of teratai uk but proton has more influence in teratai malaysia (its cheaper) than its parent. Mostly any teratai enhanced technologies (like handling) is tapped from teratai malaysia.

Added on October 23, 2008, 10:42 pmBtw, what is the proper way to drive an AT car? If I always "kick down", meaning press the pedal forcefully to make the gear shift from 4 to 2 etc, what harm exist? hmm.gif

My car seems quite eager to drop gear during corner, during pick-up. Scared this kind of behavior in prolong use will damage the engine/gearbox/other thing. sad.gif


Added on October 23, 2008, 10:46 pmOld sky, maybe you can update the first page with record of 4th/5th service (20k km, major service). Can be a guide for all cps owner smile.gif
*
the cps AT is equipped with intelligent sensor... "kick down" is similar like you manually change from D to 3 or 2...
the sensor will detect the sudden increase and compare it with current speed... it shift down to produce more torque...

that is why cps AT dont have any overdrive button (unlike myvi)

although cornering is not my cup of tea, it is normal for AT to drop gear depending your entry and exit speed...
if you are slowing down before entering a corner and pressing the pedal forcefully while exiting, the AT sensor will immediately deliver more torque by shifting down...

there is one high speed corner in putrajaya that i usually brake while entering the corner not before it and let lotus-tuned suspension perform the handling at its best...

i'm not sure about the right way to drive an AT car but from what i learned (fuel efficient drive):

1. we should be more gentle controlling the acceleration (try watch initial d 4th stage to understand the concept)
2. control when and where to brake ( unlike manual, AT will consume more fuel if you tend to brake a lot)

I learned this from those who drove perdanas for international events like NAM, ASEAN, etc and VIP chauffer

My best with CPS was 570km (from full tank till the first light came out)

The only thing that makes me think twice when doing high speed cornering is that the accellaration become somekind like pulsing, instead of linear. Don't lnow how to describe..  sweat.gif
3th service. PESC Btu Pahat

RM 351

Engine oil- Castrol Magnetec Semi synthetic
Spark plug
Brake service-(change oil, inspect/resurface pad/bleeding)
Radiator service
Throttle body service
Oil filter
Tunnng.

P/S: Engine feels much lighter, maybe due to clean throttle body and/or Castrol Magnetec. thumbup.gif

hmmm didn't notice about the acceleration while cornering but will check it out...

your's castrol or pesc's ?

No problem with the engine, but the car inherited some of Waja famous problem, mainly power window drop and ngek-ngek sound at the front driver side fender.  nod.gif

FC varies from 11km/l (the worst i've got) to 14km/l (the best). But mostly in 12-13km/l region.

i've done 2times on wheel balancing but the problem still same.... doh.gif  doh.gif  and done at different shop...previously when new car got no problem... hmm.gif

mine vibrate in the range 100 - 120 km (combined with existing vibration from engine resonance in the same range... *sigh*)
probably its time to re-balance everything back...afterall what can you expect from a stock rim being used to the limit everyday...

Last year my bro gen2 lost 2 of its tyres. Standard gen2 rim. The thieve might as well steal the whole set because my bro had to change all 4 to new ones (16").
