thats what i was told during last services. its just a sound without serious damage. unless your FC is sky high and got oil leak... or else... all of you all freak out when heard the sound... lol.
*
Actually, i think most people freak out when heard the sound because never face in other cars. However, like what bro fulat said, if just sound with no visible oil leak or bad fc...why worry?

If it's just an overcrank issue, complain about it to the SC. The voice of one isn't enough. That's why we have forum discussions like this; there's strength in unity. When enough people have complained, then Proton may do something about it and have the auto-choked reprogrammed. IMHO, 3K rpm in this country is more than a bit silly
*
The overcrank sound is quite soft actually...do not think it will cause the whole neighbourhood to complain ohmy.gif

However, if can fix the problem but minus 3D2N stay in SC, can consider to fix. Anyway, currently not facing oil leak or bad fc yet.

Still wanna smoke ppl after getting cig... sweat.gif

I also drive a Kelisa and get smoked by people...not that I bother. Anyway, whoever who smokes with Myvi, Kelisa, Kancil and Viva deserves to be shot. that car is not meant for speeding even though it is very light...so light until can be overturned if speeding on highway with cross wind.....

Not All Myvi Owners are like that. Every kind of cars also will have drivers like that...It's just that because the number of Maivee on the road is so much...The probability of meeting such drivers is higher  smile.gif

Not just Myvi, Vios, wira, saga, civic, city...all also known to have driver who gila speed punya icon_idea.gif

Proton kini kembali beraksi di laman sendiri untuk Pusingan ke- 4 Kejohanan Rali Asia Pasifik (APRC) dengan sasaran muncul sebagai juara buat kali kedua berturut-turut. Cabaran Proton di Johor pada kali ini akan digalas oleh Alister McRae dengan rakan sepasukannya PG Andersson yang membuat penampilan sulung dalam Rali Malaysia.

Proton telah melakukan ujian untuk beberapa komponen baru dan Satria Neo S2000 yang digunakan pada kali ini merupakan evolusi dari model sebelumnya. Kemampuan Satria Neo S2000 untuk menakluki selekoh tajam juga bakal membantu kejayaan pasukan

Rali Malaysia merangkumi jarak keseluruhan sejauh 235.28km, dengan 15 pusingan khas dan dianggap paling mencabar dalam jelajah APRC. Faktor cuaca serta suhu juga boleh mempengaruhi keputusan pusingan kali ini. Proton juga akan menampilkan tiga lagi pemandu, Karamjit Singh, Akira Bamba dan Kenneth Koh.

Rali Malaysia bakal bermula hari esok dengan pusingan khas sejauh 2.5km berhampiran dengan pusat membeli-belah Angsana di Johor Bharu. Buat pertama kalinya pusingan ini akan berlangsung pada waktu malam. Pusingan ke- 2 pula bakal mengharungi tujuh pusingan khas termasuk yang terpanjang merentasi ladang kelapa sawit  Tai Tak sejauh 32.94km sebanyak 2 pusingan. Hari terakhir Rali Malaysia bakal menyaksikan tujuh lagi pusingan khas.

Yang paling menarik di Rali Malaysia kali ini ialah kemunculan Prevé R3 akan dipamerkan buat pertama kalinya untuk tontonan umum dan bakal disertai dengan 2 lagi model, Satria Neo Racing dan Satria Neo Rally Edition.

* Dah ada Prevé R3 dengan Satria Neo Rally Edition la, ni ke yang pakai supercharger ataupun paling kurang CFE inside, orang Johor jangan lepaskan peluang ni ye… hehehe

hi guys...got my car loo...but spent whole afternoon check every inch...
so far found few problems:

1. glove compartment latch faulty, when pull open from driver side, it wont open, but from passenger side no problem, so i will ask for replacement of it when go for 1k service, but will take quite long, as my daily range would be 30km +-.

2. there's one small spot at the rear right side of the boot got scratches without paint. when close the boot lid, wont able to see it, only when open.

3. i notice the exhaust system already start to rust... must get it change, i thought it suppose to be anti-rust treated?

4. side mirror when fold/unfold, left side faster than right side. but didn't hear the motor sound. will get SC to fix it.

5. rear car plate, bad workmanship can see each number with glue stain around it. lousy double side tape wont able to hold the plate for long. why not using screw type plate holder?

6. rear windscreen tint may yet to completely bond with the demister line or it was due to poor workmanship, as i can see those cars' headlights being reflected. well i don't drive at night so i'm fine with it. i think my mom persona tint also having the same problem. perhaps it was normal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st full pump using esso 97 rm118.68 for 45.646L.... and tires were inflated above 40, so i released and get it pump at 34 front 32 rear, although recommended was 32 and 30.

i have to get use to CVT3, as going uphill really challeging, perhaps i need to try using S mode. tried shifter but not good with it yet.

stopping at junction, must pedal to metal, to move the car, quite scary when i only apply gas pedal softly, so it move slow motion, so that others can admire slow motion of Preve, i will try to get use to it.

alignment a bit off to the left.
no problem with the driver's power window, nothing "erected" so far. no krek krek noise.
Still couldn't hear any pillar wind noise, only the sound of CVT3, but i love it.

when start car, i tried both quick mode and normal mode for more than 10 times.

1. quick mode, slot in remote, step brake pedal and push the button of "life spark", car came alive without any jerking sound or overcrank sound. may observe tomorrow morning, as my place here quite cooling at night.

2. normal mode, slot in remote, press button, wait for SID update, step on brake, button turn green then push the button.
playing with the lighting, no problem, but i notice that, u can only on the rear fog lamp after on driving lamp, but when off driving lamp and select position lamp, rear fog lamp still on, so actually the lighting can use different combination to your own liking.

ok enuf for tonight, really tired, but awesome feeling as preve still new and almost everyone looking at you.
