Yup! Me too, just now can't believe my eyes.... cannot find this thread on first page!

I don't know why some people consider brake dust a "problem"?
Even if this is their first car, they should also seen a lot of this "problem" on the road, be it imported or local cars.

Who is going to install room bar inside his car? Haha...

When I go above 110km/h, I heard a loud tyre noise instead of wind noise...



Yes, I noticed it since test drive the car.



I especially find the convex type of side mirrors (both left and right) really helps in parking.



Why 3 different brands but all cars are similar?

Hi all, I was wonder what is the side effect if the error code resides there without erased? Will it affect our car or engine's normal operation behavior?

maybe I can just don't worry if my car got error code...

Another question:
Sometimes, I doubt if my turbo unit is working or not...

In earlier versions of Preve threads I see people said they feel the turbo kicks in and some said they heard the sound when turbo is activated etc... but how come I never feel anything? No feeling, no hearing...

I may know if my turbo unit is working then one day is stop working so the car is underpower. But if my turbo unit not working since day one, how to tell the different?

I thought I was already brave enough to drive 160km/h, now you....


Maybe I didn't notice the sound was too soft, but at least my expectation was, it will pull the car hard and our back sticks to the seat...

In fact, this effect only happens when I start from still where rpm below 2000.



Proton already stated this is "Light pressure" turbo.

My heartbeat can't cope with the car speed.....



WhitE LighteR, can describe in which condition you can hear this?
Wind down the window? Can hear it as long as rpm hit 2000-2200?
Can I hear it if we rev the engine in N gear?


OMG!!!
Luckily not RM2000, hahaha!
Anyone kena summon when they speeding at night? I mean, night time less speed trap right?



It really takes time to learn the sound...

Thanks WhitE LighteR, I think I heard this high-pitch sound even inside the car, I thought that was CVT's sound.


I wish the sound I heard is the turbo unit but not CVT.


Ya ler...! When I was speeding happily at right lane for just a few seconds, always got car potong out from left lane, some even without using indicator light, just come out and crawling!

Do you mean SAT mode in Exora Bold? Preve got SAT mode?

I got a strange experience with Preve's S mode. I can see the rpm go higher, but can't really feel the pulling power. Maybe I should step the pedal to the floor to experience the power of S mode?

Last few days when I want to do reverse parking, before the car completely stop, I accidentally shift to [R] but the car still gliding forward without engaging reverse gear, I'm shocked and immediately shift back to [N] and press the brake harder. I think this feature is protecting the gearbox. Anyone willing to try this purposely with higher speed?

Hi WhitE LighteR, sorry for my stupidity and thank you for your patient!
I mean high-pitch like high "frequency" whistle sound, something you can hear from the clip below at this playback time? When driving at the right speed, will hear softly the "feeeeee..........." sound even inside the car right?

If not right again, then I better ask them to check my turbo unit in my next service.

Thanks WhitE LighteR, I will try to locate the sound tomorrow. Probably test it at [N] gear position first.

The reason I asked all these are because as mentioned, last weekend was my first time took the car on long highway (North South Expressway) and say like, for example, when press hard, from 100km/h to 140km/h, I can't feel the "thrust" compare to my Persona (with catcon removed). I understand it could be CVT vs. AT, but I'm just worrying if something not function properly and I still don't know about it.

Also, I still in love with [D] mode, haven't really have the chance to test or "utilize" the [S] mode. A short test of my [S] mode just can see higher rpm, but still no "g-force" feeling. But honestly, I did not floor the pedal during [S] mode lar...

New problem to my less than 2 months old car.

This morning after start car, I press fold/unfold button to manually unfold the side mirrors, nothing happen. After a few tries, it unfold.

On evening, the button have totally no respond anymore!


EDIT:
When the car start to move, it can unfold.
When lock the car, it can fold.
Only the door panel button not working anymore!

Yup! But can't wait for SC because very difficult and dangerous when coming out from parking lot especially road side.

Wow! Your's even more weird than my case!


Agreed!


Due to my own safety, I decided to find out if I can fix it myself. I removed the control button panel, only found out the socket very loose and dropped out. At that time I'm sure the mirror adjust buttons should not work as well, but I never thought of testing it, because the whole socket was come loose.

So why it come loose so easily?



Although I never removed the entire door trim panel, but with this experience, I think why for some car, sometimes the rear door can't be unlock, I have the reason to believe that could be also the loosing socket issue, anyway, I could be wrong!

I turned both to Off nowadays.

For light, it switch on the light while there still very bright.

For wiper, it switch to high speed like crazy while there not so heavy rain even I turn to lowest sensitive.

That's because you Stopped the engine with the gear at [N] position?
You should shut off engine at [P] position so that it cut off everything.

I've finally installed reverse camera this morning...



By the way, I also bought this (optional) for the camera and for future accessories...

Yes it has the box and lines, but will not "warp" or align when turning the steering.


Not EA, I'm from Penang.
The camera plus installation is RM250, then the optional cable adaptor also cost RM250.
With the cable adaptor, we no need to touch the original wires.

The socket is by Blaupunkt for WV, I think you can mention this at accessories shop near your place?
I don't know where to get it wor...


You are correct Mr. Dhuang Dhuang!


Congratulations bro!
Nope! This time not DIY anymore, installed from accessory shop...



Really a great news! Kudos to all you guys' efforts!

Have been busy these recent weekend, huhu...
This weekend going to Cameron Highlands pula...



Yup! Yup!




The accessories shop I install this camera got 1 ready stock. I think if buy through them will be more expensive right? Maybe you know where is the Blaupunkt dealer? If you don't care and want the contact of this accessories shop, just let me know.



Good! Thanks for the tips to other users, Golf GTI audio socket.

LOL.... No lar.... I said "optional" mean he offer and I agreed, because he knows me, I always looking for better HU for sound quality, so this is prepared for future use.

Yes, I'm using original HU, just don't want to temper with the "socket" (my mistake for saying "wires"), try to keep everything reversible.

Yes, please come open a shop in Penang. I think many quality service offer by EA were hard to find here in Penang. I mean professionally done service. Some shop in Penang that I know don't offer such kind of mod or service, or not done professionally like EA does.
