i think that sembang session at Shah Alam has to cancel coz many of us not familiar with that location...thanks
When our cars were assembled at factory, they didnt bother or align the vehicle so i guess our cars are pretty much out.Hi guys! New owner here too. Collected by black CPS (Manual) yesterday. Engine still very new, so running it in now. Some issues though:
1. Car alignment a little out
2. Rusted wiper arm joint
3. Seatbelt indicator (on dashboard when u not wearing seatbelt) is not working
4. Faint windnoise when i hit 90kmh above
Lets see what else comes up before i hit the 1000km service :)
Also a query guys. Our bulb size (low beam) is H1 right? Thinking of changing it, but how do you remove the back headlamp cover?? The one of the left size also is difficult to reach as the wiper fluid container is blocking access.
i guess most neo have some QC issues>>>those who have a problem free neo are the lucky's one....personally i dun think need to change bulb or exhaust....the original 1 are good enough...u shud really get familiar with the car first and taste the powEr first>>>rev kau kau....Jason and ldhong,
Thanks for the reply guys. Yea, come into Proton COE (what excellence??) late morning and now typing this reply still waiting for the alignment job on my ride (slow internet wifi here BTW). Initially, the first SA told me 'alignment not under warranty', although i told him i collected my car less than 48 hours earlier! Luckily my sales guy came over and sorted this issue. Sighhhhh
Met another nice Neo owner here. He bought his last year and had told me to be prepared. He had been here numerous times (even kept a folder where all his receipts and complaint forms were kept!). Think i am gonna get lots of white hair already soon...
The wind noise, some rear seat rattling etc will be addressed when i hit my 1k service. Updates as they come :)
On a brighter note, I am planning to change my bulbs to Philips x-treme power and full exhaust change (hotbits?).
Totally agreed with the QC issues...really sucks big time...In fact, i personally have appointment with COE this Friday over some QC problems...haih, CENTER of EXCELLENCE it seems....Hi yitjin,
Actually alignment can do outside, no need to suffer at COE. Lots of really good alignment shops outside that can do good alignment.
After driving my car for almost a week, i realize the Neo's quality seems to be a bit lower than Protons of the past.....someone correct me if i'm wrong. I owned 2 protons before, a Wira 1.6 (final batch) & a GTi....both seemed better built overall, i am not talking about ride & handling, but the quality of parts, interior etc. My ride's central locking seems so crude, opening the door is like breaking open a cardboard box. Maybe its my unit.
Not a concern for a sport car.Hi all,
Is anyone facing this with their NEO CPS's? My car is quite noisy when travelling on highway stretches in 5th gear & above 80 kph, its not wind noise but engine noise. Its like the 5th gearing is so low that the engine is straining, and the rpm at 100kph is about 2.5k closer to 3k. This is probably why some ppl have said the CPS consumes a lot of petrol on highways. My car is only a week old, so maybe its not 'loosened' up yet, but was wondering if anyone else out there with new CPS's face the same issue? Thanks.
