hi, all, i got found something, regrading the knocking sound after the left turning, try to switch off your aircon and do the left turn, the knocking sound wont happen, i had tried few times, it work, i guess the knocking sound maybe is something to do with the Aircon Compressor???anyone comments?

oil filter-RM12.98
air filter-rm20 (u can change at outside)
sparkplugs-around RM40-50
coolant- i bought caltex long life coolant (RM17.50) and its much better than original proton coolant...
automatic gearbox oil (IF its automatic)- RM150++......but if u dont really rev can extend till 30k... thumbup.gif

the i pour around 3.3liter++ of engine oil and its at the between MIN and MAX mark...so full i think around 3.7liters....try putting between MIN and MAX.....the pedal lighter and the revs much happier compare to full 4Liters or even FULL mark brows.gif

hi,have you tried that by turn off the aircon while make the left turn? the front knocking sound is gone, i have tried quite a number of times, it works! I really suspect this knocking sound is coz by something happened on the aircon compressor when making the left turn. Can more of you verify this? tongue.gif

hmmm...i do try..nothing is heard...but i will double confirm with you guys once a again...find a really uneven road and test it out....

This is new to me.  Will check it out and report accordingly.

This is not good for the engine.  Go to the SC or better still, Ah Beng, to have some of the oil sucked/released out.

SC = 2 hours.  Free if they don't scam you with other stuff.

Your trusted Ah Beng = 3 minutes only.

yeah....3.5liters engine oil sufficient enough....where it is around slightly below the MAX line.....dont need to put until MAX....middle also ok...lighter acceleration and lower FC...

hmm, guess everyone knows this issue already loong2020. If we can go inside the workshop and pour the engine oil ourselves, there is no issue at all. Who doesn't know if we pour ngam ngam 3.5 ltrs, our cars would be lighter acceleration and lower fc? But then, we are not allowed to go inside the workshop and monitor those sc buggers' works leh....haiz...

by the way, I tried switching off the air-cond, still i can hear the klunk, klunk, klunk sound when I made those turning....

yeap...those SC really doh.gif ....if u put addictive sumore...then sure super overfilled....which is very very bad....and the engine is new sumore... sweat.gif

tested again...aircond off turning left got sound....right sometimes....(i think same)...so on and off aircond is the same....but i suspect is the bumper area(collision bar/foglamp holder which is near to the car metal body)/banana leaf(wheel arch plastic water blocker)

but i feel the car is more shake when traveling in highway compare to new car.
how can i improve it? change new spring again?

u mean steering vibrate???...go do balancing, or change new tires...back to smooth cruising... laugh.gif

mine vibrate around 110km-130km....cause the tire thread uneven and rotation not round...have to change new tires in order to get back the new car feeling....

if want more stable...use 55series rather than 60series..

Proton car mazam ni ler. Don't expect too much from proton as all its part quality will degrade very quickly. Take the proton wira and old waja for example.  After few years, more sound u will hear from ur lovely car.

nope, not vibrate, when 140km/h@7000km miledge i can feel the car is not firm as previous when milege 4000km.
its suspension, because when new car miledge@4k i try to push the car hood downward, the car seems not being press down much, but last week when i try to press at miledge 8k km, i can feel the car will have spring feel already. Maybe my weight had increase 4kg?

compare my first trip PG to KL i manage to get 170-180km/h at highway, but last trip to ipoh at evening max only 160km/h, more than that feel unstable.  Btw, both trip using same tyre and pressure is about 260ps F/R.
*
well...i think u pump too much for the tire..thats why u feel abit floaty..then as u travel longer the pressure will increase more maybe up to 300ps..which causes ur car floaty(not stable/waving)


pump front-230/235ps, rear-210/215ps......it will get better......try and see....260ps is too much....even max also i pump 240ps as the tire pressure will increase after few minutes of driving...and safety first..u dun wana the tire suddenly blow while u traveling right??? sweat.gif

New goodyear duraplus 195/60 R15 selling for rm222 per tyre. Not sure how good it is, but it could be a hard compound tyre since can last so long.

i prefer good grip and tire that will maintain its quality even used up till 50%......the ori conti cc1 fitted along is doh.gif ......when its new, ok...but after 1year of usage...the tire became uneven more to the thread and rubber which causes the vibration to happen...
so along now, im thinking of changing to primacy/ pilotpreceda 2/ c.drive/ s-drive(if within my range/ or any tire which suits my budget (rm180-rm230)++ laugh.gif

@mensa
the vibration @ 100km i think is normal

and for the brakes, let it bed in first and the braking will improve after 500km-1000km++....it takes time...

for primacy, i dun think fit our car. the size is more for altis, civic, accord and camry. that's what i read la. coz i also thought of changing to that next time when my tyres gone bad.

Primacy available for our car....195/60/r15 is available for our car around RM250-270.....but most of the shop recommend or only know XM1...other than that they think is for bigger cars...
