Great to know that the information is consistent between punch (kristof), mat79 and deepan84.

Hope they can deliver the new ecu mapping which solve the sluggish issue and still qualify the emission rating.

I tot Exora BOLD aldy having good setting in term of eliminating the sluggish and friendly fuel consumption ? Why dont they start from there ?

Not only fuel consumption, but emission.

The reason why Preve is being setup like that is to comply with global emission rating.

make me scared on hearing the all sort of problem on the preve.
The OWV sound like a serious engine problem, why they don't detect during testing?

Most preve owner complaining the HIGH FC on this car.

go check similar engine and size car thread. 15l/100km even 20 also got.

I know it is wrong to make a comparison with this.
IMHO, this Campro CFE is suppose to make an additional power with relatively good FC.
But when Preve owner list down their FC, like 10-15L/100Km, it is not really good.

Almost the same FC like W211 E240, 2600cc engine, a V6 engine btw.
Then, it same FC with 525 BMW, 2.5L engien, not sure V6 or not.

When compare to 1.8 kompressor w211, even the kompressor had a better FC.
Not yet compare with turbo engine like golf GTI, or the puegeot 308 engine.

BTW, 308 engine is THP, Turbo High Pressure, make a more power, BUT, the FC is better than CFE.

NOT flaming other users, but Proton should make a CFE including with VVT both inlet n outlet and direct injection to reduce FC cool2.gif

there are owner getting 6.8-8l /100km. I say that is acceptable. Some getting as high as 15l/100km. I see other 1.6na engine also have high fc than CFE.

I dunno you guys...but i tried another way...until now...touch wood still no over cranking problem. i think my batch CN:1070 have OWV problem but until now i only have three time over cranking problem. "Is like not enough power to start the car" but usually once push it will start but takes longer time to start...usually after 1.5 second it will start but it start after around 2 or 3 secs of cranking sound.

now i try another new way of starting the car.

Insert key fob. -> press push start....there will be ember light. wait till the electronic component got light including HU word proton come out wait till got radio. then press again push start button...

This time you will see all the lights icon indicator turn on. ...the light still ember orange light at the push start. wait a few second like 3 or 4 secs. then press brake. then you will see green light on the push start. then you press the push start button. it starts good now. for almost a month i tried using this technique without any over cranking problem. ....("this way you press push start 3 times" means press once...wait press another time..wait.. engage the brake pedal then press again to start.")

i use my car usually just go work and go home. through and flow around 60km. after rain or during cold chilly morning i also did try start my car. no OWV and no over cranking problem. Yet.... hope it will not occur. So cold start not a problem anymore. is a bit tedious and lots of steps....but just for cold start.

after the first start. the remaining of on off stays the same way.
insert key fob. press brake pedal then press push start.

This might be ideal for the first start of the day. The next start can just insert fob, press pedal and push start. I would say this is a workaround.

However in the first place, user should be able to use the quickest start method without any over cranking problem. If need 3 times to push, that defeat the purpose of having push start button.
