Last week i were driving from KL > Sungkai all the way at the speed at 120 - 130 km/h nth happen.. just the fuel indicator drop faster than it should be

But i do have a minor problem, happen in KL.. it was raining very heavy and i was rushing time to get back home so i push my BLM quite hard.. revving at 4-5k rpm every gear change then with hard braking and acceleration bcos quite a lot of slow movers.. by the time i reach home, i can hear a buzzing sound from inside the car but its from the engine bay area.. at first i thought it was the alarm sott cos raining/damp.. but i arm and disarm the alarm the buzzing sound still there.. quite loud and annoying.. then i open the bonnet and try to find where the sound came from, then it stops suddenly.. anyone experience this b4 ?

its a cooling and ac fan sound ?

yeah, i got this b4 after going through a flooded area (half wheel deep). the water must have went in to the buzzer switch circuit. i disconnected the buzzer socket (upper right end) then leave it overnight. next morning connect it back then no more buzzing. the water must have dried. the water channeling design for BLM not very good. some places in the engine compartment can enter water either from top or bottom but its not that critical.

last time i also encounter with the cooling/aircond fan sound.. during 1 night, i drove to a basketball court and then turn off the car and join my fren for basketball.. as usual, when u turn off the engine, the cooling/aircond fan will have a slight delay, it will only turn off after few seconds after u turn off the engine... so that night, the fan still on for about 1mins then i beh tahan and go back to my car, turn on the engine and turn it off again.. then voila, the fan stopped... any1 encounter this b4?

engine too hot??
i think for gen.2....when u off the engine but it still very hot....the fan wont stop 1st.....
after the engine was cooled down....the fan stopped...

but i m no sure is this feature applicable for BLM.....

I think all new generation of proton have that feature

hey guys, just got my aunt BLM with me now, will deliver to her in a few days.

Base line BLM, those key light (around the ignition) and seat belt light on meter panel is not working, izzit normal for base line or its a problem?

thanks, will write full review on that car in a few days (after deliver to my aunt)

blm dun hav key light......
the seat belt light only available for M-line......

dun worry.....

3 only ar?

See under the sun just got diff.

damn many lala, full stop

If got 1 solid & 1 metallic park together, I think i can tell the different la,
but if only 1, i sure i will screw up.
White & black color a bit easy to tell.
But other Blm color hard leh, especially silver & grey

i tot that is normal for the slight lag of fan to shut down even u off the engine.my car does that too..sound like turbo timer..haha.

bozerman
metallic shine more, solid a lil unshine than metallic..erm..the feel when u touch it with ur hand oso different..

Boss, if FC bad means bad already one, tank size doesn't matter. Our BLM has a 40L capacity by the way. A car with a tiny tank like a kelisa can give good fuel consumption. A car with a huge tank like an old Volvo can give teruk consumption. Persona 50L i think, but persona's FC is worse than BLM of course. Compare to other cars of same size, weight and fuel tank size and see? =)
those that i can think of are hyundai accent, toyota vios and honda city. of course u can say, that's cos they're way more expensive. but still, u know. just saying. after all, the talk of the day is fuel efficiency. So, much to learn, Proton still has?

i've experienced that.....even outside the car also can hear
until now also dn't know what problem is it or where the sound come from...only know it's from engine bay
but that sound never exist in my car already....it just dissapear

Huh i thought IAFM is to reduce the torque dip at certain rpm levels, and in fact will consume more petrol when activated.. How does it save more petrol instead?

it sucks air into the engine and keep engine cool...of course can save fuel
u try drive the car 1 time with IAFM and 1 time without IAFM...means dn't go over 80KM/h...u'll see

MR_alien
Iafm wont activat if x driv over 80kmj?i tot is d rpm dat on off it..

ya , with u just 3 saga owner at penang
