Hi Members,

The thread growth so fast even didn't online this 2 days. I have went to tg. sepat to celebrate my girl mother days with her family, saw 2 Preve here during yesterday dinner session 1 X preve number plate start with BLR XXXX and another preve white number plate start with WWTXXXX (executive variant).

4th days since after i got my car till today, i noticed that there were "Tak" sound each time when i push start my car. I heard the sound came from the gearbox panel, is it a normal for a car when push start? Have anyone of you experience this sound?

I also experience that my car fuel consumption is high, about 26-30/L during the town drive, i remember earlier when i pumped a full tank at RM83, i only manage to reach 303KM++ before the next full tank refill, the petrol balance indicate that i still can drive about 40KM++

Since after full tank RM85 refill last wednesday night, 2 days town drive to works + tg. sepat drive until now, i manage to reach 320KM plus petrol indicator stated that i still have remaining 60KM to drive before my next petrol refill.

Just wonder, is that normal that my car behave in such situation?

Sometimes, i just noticed that the air bag indicator light pop up from the display panel during the drive and it suddenly goes off and on again. After drive for about 10km, the air bag indicator light disappear and return back to normal.

that is not normal...i think your place there must have lots of bump and traffic light and going up hill condition... u can toggle the information to see. you have trip A, trip B, Trip C, Average, instant, petrol, heat, light setting for gear and dashboard...

select instant you can see every time you go up hill even you are tapping using the same amount of strenght to the accelerator it will consume a lot. but during flat road 80 to 90 some time when you don't tap it you will see the instant value drop slowly. and sometimes can be zero when go down hill or when on flat road you use the car momentum to cruise.

you can try use instant then try tap and give yourself a limit. sometimes the instant can reach 25 or 30 also. when going up hill. 25l/100km is alot. so try to see the instant if around 5~ 10 ~ 20 should be ok after average you should get 10. something or maybe 9 also depend on your foot.

the average will be base on everything then recalculate. my first tank is only at 350 only but remaining around 48 km before finish petrol.

my second full tank can reach 450 km still got remaining 35km before petrol finish. try to press less than 2k rpm. then you will see even in city drive you can reach 400 mark. i get that 450 value is 60 city 40 highway.

so if you want less fuel consumption try that. but after your 1k service you will see it better. after 5 k more improvement after 10 k is the real one.

i believe this car can reach 600km with one full tank in highway if continue cruise 90 ~ 100 ~ 110. one day must try from kl to perlis then come back down.must try with two passenger with luggage, then next time try with four people or five people. next time try with air cond off only buka tingkap.


now i just finish 1000km service... yesterday just put in full tank. rm87.18 (45.882 litre)

Third full tank got 489 remaining 45 km before petrol finish. so as you can see from my first full tank to third full tank getting more and more. all travel place is the same. 60% city 40% highway...

so let see how much this rm87.18 can go. nowadays i dont travel 80~ 90 anymore...sometimes will reach 110 easily.
All these travel usually below 2k rpm and only one person in the car. myself as a driver smile.gif

Wonder most of the owner put the light position at Auto or Off ?

After 2 days driving my Preve Silver, I can conclude that so far zero defective or faulty on my unit ..

May be Proton has improved their QC level... no need to wait for 3rd batch, call your SA to chase for your car now .. rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

after 2 years will need to conclude again here in lowyat forum..maybe version 110 already

the terrain you usually drive involves flat surfaces and not much traffic lights?.. i also try to maintain below 2k rpm in city drive but here theres so much traffic lights that accelerating is often so fuel consumption is high... any suggestions?
*
maybe ask them to try check the one way valve see if any problem. you say during morning cold start got tak tak sound...but the sound is not suppose to be gear lever section..it should be the engine sound. if not try a different petrol station. i currently using petronas 95.

the route i travel only got five traffic lights. and the terrains is bit hill about 10 degree up and not so steep. but mostly highway so thats why just use the car momentum can already.

I 've met with CAT team. One of the member of CAT team says is actually delay due to vendor did not provide enough parts. I ask him is it not enough turbo engine CFE variant he did not answer yes or no...he just answer all because of vendor not enough supply parts thats why delay. anyway they will concentrate of the local deliveries when they manage to settle the demand here then only they will concentrate on oversea market...that is what he told me.Mr Husni the CAT team member.

Just notice something.. Preve does not come with reverse camera like exora Bold.. Damn it.. why why why? If we install the aftermarket.. will it void the warranty?
*
i dunno how much is the reverse camera...but the manual book got says....for professional installation please check with proton.... so you can go to proton service center and ask maybe is cheaper there not sure...

LOL

There have been quite a debate on why this car didn't have rverse cam and among the famous reason one is that This car is not that big. Though we have our brother here K2002 wjo accidentally run over his pasu bunga when reversing. That have been said, still I myself personally think if there's reverse cam then this car is the most-gadget-equipped car in M'sia...

This has been discussed before & unfortunately, yes. It will void the warranty in the case so happen any of your electrical parts are broken.

look into it properly...it still hurt so much...i am having tears... T.T

Any aftermarket parts installation in Proton usually is more expensive then outside.

K&N drop-in filter outside sell RM280, Proton sell RM430. blink.gif
I know how you feel bro.

Pasu bunga not cheap these days.  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

not the pasu bunga....the paint chip off that making an eye sore... cannot be see properly but if look closer can be seen..cause the scratch is not top clear coat..is clear coat plus the silver gone....exposing black color...dunno is that the plastic or the undercoat or is it the metal part. hopefully it wont rust....
