can our malaysian ECU version programmable? Like the one in the pics?





anyone at Chery 3S can answer that...

itu 18" rim plus falken berapa ria?

yes, got it and had been driving for the pass 1 week. the car performance is good, only the interiors are quite bad, gap here and there...had been going to the service centre for adjustment but can't really help as based on them it is due to the moulding etc. Saw the new batch with roof rack, the quality seem better than mine...
Problem found:
1. fogging on the headlamp
2. gap on the left SRS airbag
3. gap on the glove box
4. front right door not properly assemble
5. rear wiper alignment
6. reverse light defect
7. hand brake alignment
8. high beam light alignment

hope their QC can be improved or else, they'll definitely losing the confident in their new customer...

will write up a review on this car once I'd the free time as now I'm in the middle of an urgent project...

4. front right door not properly assemble-explain further taikoh ....
the door was not properly aligned to the mud-guard surface, out but 5mm. you can see it physically and if you touch from the mudguard all the way to the door area, you can feel it's bump out. fixed and aligned but still about 1-2mm out, as the service guy said it is the best they can do...

5. rear wiper alignment-after you use it will not place back to the right place ????
yes.

6. reverse light defect- only one reverse and rear fog lamp is on - standard for chery MPV ....salesman told me....
the plastic cover on the reverse light is defected as you can see the bulb inside very clearly (one big dot)...service guy say that as long as the light can be turned on, it is ok...eventhough he know it is defected.

7. hand brake alignment-care to explain further
even you pull up all the way, the car will still skid down on a minor sloppy hill, adjusted and now seem ok.

8. high beam light alignment-got switch for levellling right ?? or high beam is too low.....
it's the high beam too low (on my right-side), asked for adjustment but came back the same...I think most of the service guy is just playing in the workshop!

how about the allignment????? when you lepas tangan .....go straight or go left ?????
yeap, went to left, complain about this and they did a alignment but the results still the same...also comfirm this with another guy who did the service, same problem although been send to alignment

I think their service centre at PJ need to be refined and improved as the guy who did my car had made all those black marks all over the interiors when they try to adjust the glove box and adjusting the interiors part...out of 10 items complained, only 2 got it done, the rest...that's all the best we can do....darn!

overall, i expect they have a high standard in term-of customer service but ended up the same as PROTON...or even worse....

Oh! saw a chinese guy at the PJ service centre seem to be a Chery technical expert, but not even care to talk to the customers to find out their complains or comments on their new Chery ...
can anyone here in this forum who are from Chery can advise on all those finishing problems and defects....CTO, CEO, COO ???

Chief, sure...no problem, but now I'm hooked with an urgent project, maybe will be free after next week, will call you for a TT...maybe can meet at the PJ service centre as I need to send my car for more rectifications !!!

another defect I found...
the rear side windows had some defect mark (40%) which cannot be rub-off, like oil stain...if looked at some angle, it's looked like rainbow colour. anyone had this problem??
called the SA, he told me that it is a glass defect and need to bring back to the service centre (not sure need to be replace or not) as he found a few car from the same batch had the same problem as well...if need to be replaced, who will pay for the tinting again...haiyah...so unlucky...

Added on November 26, 2008, 4:29 pmChief, regarding to the nitrogen filled tyre...is it good?...do we need to refill it often? planning for that if it is more comfortable...
Also, what is your usual FC? as for myself I'm getting like 350km for a full tank (61+ litres) RM120++...pure city driving

This post has been edited by dynasan: Nov 26 2008, 04:31 PM

damn....the look on your headlamp are GANAS , any mod on the rear side?

...and good luck on your operation...kidney stone...must be damn painful, had a gall-blader stone before...tak boleh tahan-lor..damn painful when it's attacked...half dead

let's TT when you get back from the operation, k.

yalar....where is everyone-ar?
surehit, your car fixed?

Last weekend jalan-jalan at KL with my family plus my sister-in-law family from Kedah...total 4 adults and 5 childrens and then sped to Melaka for dinner and come back. total mileage around 400km & petrol usage = RM100. Finally reach 1000km and ready for the first service soon. Tried 150km/h...damn exciting...will try higher speed after the first service

Added on December 1, 2008, 5:05 pmgaji masuk oledi...planning to put in DVD portable...any advise?

This post has been edited by dynasan: Dec 1 2008, 05:05 PM

another attempt...6 adults and 8 childrens (age between 4-12 years)...crazy...but the car really do moved......

I don't think they will go for the fiat as they'd their own Acteco engine. welcome all new Eastar owner...you'd made the right decision...see the thumb up from our new PM during eastar launching

another tip for all new owner...if the windows are not winded up after you'd pull up the ignition key, you can remotely wind-up by pressing the lock key button at your remote...cool!

if not mistaken PCD - portable controller devices

I might be joining but need to confirm last minutes (too many relatives visit these days), you guy just confirm the venue first. BTW, I'm staying in Puchong.
Chief, SMS me-la the final venue to meet....k

think I saw u at the service centre today, anyway I think it is normal by getting around 400km per-full tank (city driving). At this moment I can only reach around 350km++ for a full tank, maybe I need to go thru the massive jam everyday. another guy I asked, he managed to get 600km per-full tank
good luck with your brake...

Another tip for new Eastar owner, you can set the clock display in your radio/CD player, press ASST and hold it for 5 seconds, then enable the clock setting....

how many mosque are there in Putrajaya? any GPS coordinate?

386, amazing...on your FC. Can you describe more details on your driving mode, speed etc... to reach this mileage?
Hope all Easterian can report on their FC in this forum for reference.

Anyway, for your problems, I believe the SC can fix it, just need to be there as early as 9am as there're more cars going to the SC nowadays...probably you need to wait 3-4 hours for each car. Another common problem, fogging on the headlamps...to solve it one sealant need to be removed...the SC know about it, just need to let them know if you're encountering this problem.

Good Luck!

386, you calculated your mileage manually right, as they are no tripmeter in Eastar, anyway look like you did take good care on your car, before my first 1000km, I'd already push to 150km on the highway, now felt a bit regret...

azazza71, how is your problems on the braking, solved?

Another problem I found in this Eastar (not sure whether it is a design defect), try to start your engine and run it for around 15-20 mins, then only switch on the Aircon, the AC compressor will not start (no cold air). Anyone had this problem? Checked with SC and they found some connector faulty and replaced it but the problem still present. Only way to solve it now
1. Always switch "on" the AC after you'd start the engine
2. If the problem arise, switch off the engine and then wait for 5-10 mins & switch back the AC once the engine is started.
note: you can hear a click sound when the AC is switch on to confirm that the compressor is working

If the compressor is not switch on, and you kept the engine running for a while, you can feel that the engine compartment is overheating, you can touch the engine bonnet on both side to feel it.

Chief (Enigma), did you had this problem on your car?

huh....why mine doesn't come with it....anyone can confirm on the first batch delivered in Oct/Nov (without the roof rack)

Added on December 11, 2008, 10:23 pmTalked with the SC regarding to the AC problem and they need to replace one defect part and to them it is a known problem...
Thought they should do a recall to check all the delivered car.

Zaizu,
yeah, the tripmeter can just tell you the mileage after you'd reset it but will not give you the km/liter calculation like in most car had, right?

Azazza71,
For the wind sound, I'd this as well but I thought it is normal? No? , let me know if the wind sound can be solved by the SC. After the braking had been solved, the FC is improved? I'm still getting less than 400km for a 60 litres (average speed @ 80km @ 2000rpm)
