i want to recommend something...

regards with slow deliveries or response from SA. I think The prevoc group admin can file one summaries complain from all members..

Date of booking fee. full name. email,phone number. branch where you order, receipt number.. and how long been waiting. ask them (proton) to send car there. dunno it will work or not... but if whole batch like that maybe proton can look into this mater seriously and send the cars to you guys as soon as possible.


2nd suggestion. Maybe after TT session at al barakath . we can try to organize another event at different time and date of course... something like convoy to see who get the lowest fuel consumption...if we pass through different state..different state preve cars can join us until which state they want to stop or until go back their own state. how bout from kl to johor then johor to kl? or from kl to perlis then from perlis back to kl.or from kl to east coast then back kl. do you guys think we can get 700 or 800 km? one full tank. one person driving without air cond with speed 80 to 90 average with most of the time average not more than 2k rpm?

water jet harm for paint. try use water spray direct on the normal bitumen road and see if can create one hole? just 10 sec will do. is a advice from Mr Choong from Sierra Glow. just use normal water hose. normal running water even slow also ok. and can save water bill too...i just use the fibre cloth to wipe just use the tip of the cloth then wipe it clean only.

It's almost a week since I got my car this Monday evening.
All the while I just insert the key fob, step on brake pedal and start the engine.
Nothing's odd, every start of my engine were the same, I like the smooth sound.
Due to the nature of my work, I start/stop my engine almost 10 times a day (averagely).

Since today is Saturday, a little free time without rushing, I play around the ACC, ON cycle.
I can hear the sound of the fuel pump, which is still normal, no surprise.
Until I step on brake pedal and start the engine, this is the first time I hear my engine over-cranked!  shocking.gif

I'm not sure which one is the correct routine to start the engine?
Like what I did every early morning, (without first switching to ACC and ON) the car pump the fuel while at the same time crack start the engine simultaneously?
And that's the reason why no over-crack problem?

I would like to ask Preve owner here those who had this over-crank problem, which routine you took to start the engine everyday?

Thanks in advance!  nod.gif

over crank...like very hard to start like that right? mine happen twice...during cold start morning...like hard to start but it go through eventually. only one press then it will start but take like 1 or 2 sec longer...usually just press then start crank abit then start ...the one i encounter is like start but it need longer time to fully start. the crank sound longer like 1 or 2 sec.

wah the picture of the Prevoc TT upload already so fast... but unfortunately the plate number still there. must be censor for security purpose.

Sorry unable to be with you guys for chit chat for long hours at al barakath. need to go early cause got appointment.

My 4th Full tank. i got 415km. remaining 48km of petrol. it starts to blink at 60km.until it shows ---- then that time got 52 or 50 after a km or two i go put full again in petronas 95.

This reading is due to traffic jams. i just go one utama for one week. monday till friday... from 7am till 8.30am travel from cheras taman midah....going toward loke yew...towards federal highway....then using sprint highway...pay rm 1.50 and another rm 1.00 reach one Utama.

going back time using same route... from 6pm reach home around 7.15pm also super jam.

So my conclusion. When preve stuck in jams it will consume alot lot more than running in highway... luckily still can get 400 above... the reading for the average is 10.6l/100km. my top speed is only 80 ~90kpmh. usually cruze not more than 2k rpm. unless going up hill or over take cars.

The sluggishness at start is getting lesser as well. last time 1.7 or 1.8 rpm to move car from 0. to 2 or 5 kmph now. is only 1.5k rpm can move already. maybe the things inside loosen up everything starts to lubricate fully already.

i accidentally press on paddle shift while it is in D mode.... during running 80kmph.... i terpress the + sign on the paddle shift... if shows the current running gear which is 7.....then after a few seconds it is gone...

so .....the 7th gear at 80kmph....hmmm i thought need to have certain speed only it will engage 7th gear.. any of you tried that before?

so we can press the minus button to quickly turn to S mode after few seconds can change back to D mode. i saw the information display at the dashboard shows like that.

i found this information in the exora thread in lowyat.net

****************************************************

Sluggish Exora no more. Boost your pulling power!

Is your Exora slow off the blocks? Does it take you a long time to get up to speed? We can help you to power up your sluggish
Exora so that you can safely dash ahead of other cars when the light goes green. Not only that, it will improve your fuel
efficiency by 10 per cent.

100 per cent legal and guaranteed to work, we use Italian-made ECU software to tune up your Exora so that you can improve
the car's pulling power significantly. Best of all, it will last a lifetime.

Ahamed Zayn, of Melawati, had his Exora re-flashed in October, 2010 and is delighted with the results.
"From a standing start, I can get to 100 kmh a lot faster than before after I re-flashed the ECU with Tuned I-Chips. The pulling power is amazing," said
he said. "Also, the fuel efficiency has improved. With 95, I can do more than
600 kms outstation and close to 500 in the city with a full tank."

If you are interested, I can offer a special price for the forum members. I can also give a test drive to forum moderator or
anyone else who is responsible for this forum.

cruising the highest gear the best FC u can get.. so reach the highest gear as soon as possible is the best, but as soon as possible mean at the possible speed la.. normally a 5 gear manual, u reach 5th gear at 50-60km/h which u shift around 2-2.5k rpm to get best FC, if u have 7 gear, mean u get better gear ratio and u get lower FC compare to 5 gear only at higher speed. mean u 5th gear is still 50-60 then ur 7 gear maybe 70-80 but ur RPM is lower.

I strongly advice against recording it due to;

1) its hard to properly identify where is the exact location of the source of the sound
2) another tool to be used as bashing material.
3) socialize sikit. COME TT!  mad.gif  vmad.gif

ya can consider as a tool for people to bash but if we share only we will know. if dont share dunno what kind of sound is that.
ya i will also will join next TT session.
