Why? makes perfect sense.

the reason for me to ask about chassis number is to know whether the newer batch still has owv problem.

u know what is towing?

tow the front means lift the front of the car up and pull with the rear wheel on the road.

as preve is a front wheel drive car.

I said it cannot be towed using the peice everyone was looking for in the boot (eyebar) cuz if you tow by pulling the car on four wheels the front tires will run and the engine is off so damage to CVT occures cuz no oil, thats why you have to tow lifting the front tires. clear now bro

doctor.AGF, Indeed the issue started with exora bold CFE, this is what proton tech told me.. r u with COE? the same answer i got when i asked about OWV issue

Since we are talking bout damage to CVT when spinning the tires while the engine is off (flat towing), Pleas note that doing high speed balancing to the front tires while engine is off also hurts the CVT. please insist to the balancing shop to always keep your engine running whilst performing on car high speed balancing

The clutch disenggaged the cvt. So y does the cvt need to be cooled?

even though the clutch is disengaged from the tires, the tires will spin the drive shafts and the rest of the bearings inside the gearbox plus the neutral clutch itself. that's why it needs need oil! from the oilpump that will only spin with the engine

CVT oil pump driven by CVT drive/driven pulley or engine?

The CVT has a pulley?

Is this confirm the OWV problem?? It happened to me few times

about this carcam

Motion Detecting Function Support

this features, does it meant that, if let say, someone nearby your car, the recorder will start recording?
hmm wonder how the motion sensor works, bidirectional?

anyone going to buy this? any shop in kl selling the similar product?

i think so, unless they using the same technology as Nissan Extroid CVT, that is based on discs and rollers instead of Pulley system

hi doctor.AGF, Ameiruddin and all,

Good point there doctor, that the front wheels need to be lifted off the road while towing the Preves with CVT transmission, to protect the CVT transmission.
Then proton should have clearly stated in the owner's manual that CVT models would not have the tow eyebar.

However, what about if the tow eyebar was used by the Preve to tow another car with a manual transmission or to tow a small trailer?
Then we would need a tow eyebar, won't we? Which we don't have...cheers.

Oh OK. AFAIK The CVT oil pump is driven by the engine.

I thought you meant something else.

I agree they should put one tow eyebar, but what to do. and i also dont think preve can move at 1.5k rpm if its attached to another car. maybe the CVT belt will snap

does anyone know what make & model the stock ICE is?

i'm contemplating upgrading the speakers or adding tweeters down the road. yes, i'm aware of the risk of voiding the warranty, etc
