campro engine problem

Tahukah enjin CamPro (nama singkatan bagi "Cam Profile") adalah satu-satunya enjin kereta yang dihasilkan secara komersial dan domestik di Malaysia? Enjin ini direka untuk membuktikan bahawa Proton mampu membina enjin mereka sendiri setelah sekian lama berpaut pada bayangan Mitsubishi. Prototaip enjin pertama mula ditunjukkan pada 6 Oktober 2000 di kilang Lotus Cars, UK sebelum ia mula digunakan secara rasmi pada Proton Gen-2 2004, termasuklah model-model lain dalam barisan Proton.

In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them. We will never forget the underpowered three pots in tiny cars like the Perodua Kancil and Perodua Kelisa. Sure

Back in 1993, the most preferred body-type for a car was a saloon. The Proton Persona debuted, and back then, we knew it as the Proton Wira. The Wira was known as the Persona in UK. Alongside the Wira, the Satria was called the Persona Compact, and the Putra was the Persona Coupe. For 2 generations, the Persona was a C-segment saloon. Things were revamped in 2016, and the Persona name was redesignated to an Iriz-based B-segment sedan. A lot has changed over 27 years, but the Persona remains an a

When it made its debut in 2012, the Proton Preve was the most affordable C-segment sedan on the market and the spec-sheet was rather impressive as well. So, is it worth your consideration as a used car? During its 8-year run, the Preve was updated twice. It also helped Proton reach numerous milestones such as achieving the brand's first 5-star rating at the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP). The Preve was also well-liked for its 1.6-litre CamPro CFE Turbo engine, Proton even cash

The problem of motorists riding/driving against traffic is not unique to Malaysia, although your Facebook feeds will give you that it’s a growing problem confined only to Malaysia.

Besides the viscosity rating of engine oil, we also have the choice of what type of oil we’d like to use in our car – mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully-synthetic oil. While most of us would agree that fully synthetic engine oils are the better choice, some older cars show problems when fully-synthetic engine oil is used. We’ve talked about their differences before, and the main advantages of fully-synthetic oil would be the more consistent molecule size and the longer service interval.

Sebut saja Proton, memang kerjasama jenama itu dengan Mitsubishi suatu masa dahulu tidak boleh dilupakan, bermula daripada Proton Saga 1985 sehinggalah Proton Inspira 2014. Sepertimana anda tahu, Proton mengambil asas platform Mitsubishi yang lama seperti Lancer, Eterna, Mirage, dan Galant sebelum merombak model-model ini menjadi model seperti Saga, Wira, Satria, Putra dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, maka tak hairanlah banyak pemilik Proton menukar enjin asal kereta mereka ke model yang lagi berkuasa.

There is no doubt that about the BMW’s superior dynamics, which is far ahead of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4. We absolutely love the way it drives and sounds, even in the four-cylinder 330i.

Proton was one of the few carmakers to emerge from the 80s (coincidentally, Geely was also part of that small batch). The first car to bear the Proton name was the Proton Saga. Based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore, the Saga was a big deal for Malaysia when it first came to fruition in 1985. Thirty five years later, the Saga remains highly relevant. The compact saloon is affordable and perfect for young families. It is a worthy successor to the “Saga” name. Having evolved over 35 years, the Saga

Thanks to modern day sound insulation, you don’t realise how hot and bothered things are under the hood. Holding the engine in place and absorbing most of the engine's vibration are engine mounts.
