Read the breaking-in page some time back. Lenjan my Preve before 1K service already Now 'trying' to reap the rewards of a good break-in... but nothing very good at the moment Still doing 300KM/RM50 average, mix-mode. Best I got was 400KM/RM50 on mostly-highway drive...

My 'AVERAGE' meter shows 8.5L/100KM, but average speed = 45KM/H. Will long-press reset this counter also?
I just switched from Shell to Petronas... wanna see if there's any difference in mileage Might continue for about 3 fill-ups and see...

With reference to this --> Breking In
You can thank Abang Dhuang_Dhuang_Dhuang for his post here:

Adoi-ai... I feel your pain....
I just 'lanyak' my little flower pot @ my house Hardly can see it - so low!
Tried buffing it out with rubbing compound & a wax, still got a deep gash Cannot see unless you're looking for it-lah... but I know it's there! So... mental torture!

If you listen closely, you'll realize it happens when the A/C compressor engages. Yes, I have this issue too. I'm going to the SC later this morning and ask them if there's anything that can be done. Worst case, I might end up installing a capacitor bank to dampen the effect. No choice

Also, then the A/C disengages, my idle swings up & down erratically. Sometimes, it stabilizes after a few cycles, sometimes more. Since I drive a manual, I've had the car stall several times before this. Very embarrassing-lah! Like amateur driver

I have an idling issue that caused the car to stall when I'm just about to move and the A/C disengages. Apparently, then the A/C disengages, the idling goes up & down erratically. This + the low revs when launching caused my car to stall, several times

I drive a manual by the way.

Anyway, guys, I need a favour from everyone. I went to the service center yesterday complaining that when I wind the driver's side window all the way up, the door trim seems to move out a little, like something pushing from the inside the door trim. The SC said ALL Preve's have this issue. Do you guys have a similar issue?

Looks like I'm not alone I'm not sure if this is causing the irritating wind-noise at high speed or overall the wind-noise proofing is bad. I can here wind noise @ highway speeds & it's ANNOYING! The more disturbing thing is, when the window winds down down, there's a loud "thud" sound, as if the window and door were wedged together tightly. You guys hear this too, right?

Here's another interesting story. My manual gearbox produces a kind of "tak... tak... tak" sound whenever I'm idling after a long drive. I presume this sound is only audible when the gearbox is properly heated up. When I depress the clutch, the sound disappears. It's similar to my old Saga when it had a clutch bearing problem. Again, the SC said is 'normal' for this type of gearbox! Not sure if they are dumb or just avoiding the issue OR this is another one of thos 'normal' faults all manual Preve owners have. Anyone with this issue as well?

I went to the SC and they called up HQ for the information, or at least that's what they claimed.

Tell the driver "it's normal"? I don't know... they have been pretty good at blaming the factory/HQ/designers so far. Maybe they can find someone else to blame?!



Is there any way we can ask Proton to confirm that all the "this is normal" cases are ACTUALLY normal? If I can get a statement from them, enough already

How did you contact them?! I'd like to ask them about the gearbox noise... this is the most worrying issue I have for now. No one's acknowledging it at the moment
...unless you can help me with this question too?

I'll try that! Thank you Bro

Welcome to the club

Should collect all the feedback somewhere.
Owner, Plate#, variant, colour --> make a petition

Went to Senawang SC today after driving from Malacca. Walked in, told them my gearbox got 'tak... tak... tak...' noise when idling. Press clutch & it disappears (this is my 2nd attempt ). Finally got a mechanic to come out, check and FINALLY they acknowledged! :yay: I hope I get a new gearbox soon

Yup... mine stick-shift
No-lah... they never mention they will change gearbox... I'm just hoping But realistically, they might just swap-out the clutch bearing. That's the only issue I have. The good part is, I'll be getting a free gear oil change (I think )!

This LSD -ah?

What's the point? The guy who made the bearing in another side of the world, the guy who assembled somewhere else, the QC fellow is pretty much hopeless I guess, the SA has nothing to do with the assembly process. They have not visualized the concept of 'ownership', so it's a total waste of energy 'fucuk'-ing anyone over here. I'd rather take things one step at a time and get it fixed instead of screaming pointlessly and making enemies of everyone. In the end, I'd get what I want, right?

I know... I was just joking Mana ada LSD! At most they will drop a few of the pills above into my gearbox... let the gearbox get 'high'...

Not sure about CFE... mine got (IAFM+ Manual)...

tenkiu Abang Dares Ter-overlook...
