One, the display of the FC will be very high like mine,

before reset is 10.6l/100km and now is 19.0l/100km.

Other things will also displayed not same as before you sent in.
*
I noticed the same too.

- FC reading become very high
- HU asking for pin no
- Side mirrors not going to auto unfold
- All doors unlock when press once on remote key

Btw, it happened to my preve again few days ago, "krek krek krek" sound in the afternoon when fetching my son at school...so malu haiiii

Oh...siao eh  rclxub.gif ... too bad...If there is a new area has been developed, sure our GPS cannot reach there...

Ya, thats one thing I feel weird for the GPS...cannot search thru coordinates. Sometimes when I searched the location using google map but could not find the location with our preve GPS (e.g. jalan kenari 12, puchong jaya) or have to spend more than 10 minutes to search for the correct location.

Do you guys facing the same difficulty like me?

Another 2K to go for my next service, need to start to identify and collect a list of the new issues and current not solve issue.

Will prepare to shoot iCare to rectify all of the new & old issue...
my FC still high ler, KL City Centre drive during ramadan with less traffic jam still take me about 40KM per on fuel bar and sometimes even less than 40KM per bar.
May be, as mention by GK Lai earlier. FC high due to parking lot located at few level high of condo/company multi level parking lot.
*
My ODO now around 35++km, soon will go for 2ns service too blush.gif
Whats your average FC reading?
My average FC reading is 10 to 10.6, I guess what mentioned by GK Lai sound logic to me. My staying area got bumps, have to climp up & down 2 levels parking lot...thn most of times travel short distance, fetching my sons & wife nearby.

My wife use back her mobile Papago GPS (the one that can be stick at the car's front windshield) becoz she's so frustrated with the Preve built-in GPS. According to her, the built-in GPS is less user friendly, difficult to search & the POIs is very2 limited. Many of the POIs that she search for is none existence in the built-in GPS (some of it are major landmarks) in which she could easily find it using her trusted mobile Papago PND (Personal Navigation Device). The only good thing for the built-in GPS over the Papago PND is the fast startup, fast satellite locking & fast routing (which doesn't help much coz the POIs is not there in the first place).
*
Ya agreed. Hope someone can mod it into Papago or Sygic. brows.gif

wewanwang, any response from Cose on your request?
New batmobile??

Yes, I reached at COSE yesterday at 1pm...lunch time, so got to wait till 2pm. Saw quite lots of ppls waiting at the customer waiting area, most of them having the problems with their car, Saga flx.

Well, about the damage on the preve, I met both the SA, ICare ppl & also the warranty department staff. They took the photos on wind screen & the scratch on paint, said they going to call up their supplier & assembly team in Tg. Malim to meet up at COSE probably by next week to check on the wind screen again...haiii doh.gif Then, only will set a date to change the wind screen & also touch up the paint.
Wasting time but at least good to hear that can claim from proton icon_idea.gif

If they allow, just give me the Lotus car will do laugh.gif , i saw few Lotus car in yellow color over there.

sad sad case happened this morning when i started my silver bullet engine.

I have my OWV problem solved  (so to say) at COSE after leaving there for 7 days. This krek krek sound was so common before the changed. It happened 90% when i started my car whether in the morning, afternoon, evening or night. My CN is 10XX.  sweat.gif

The overcranking sound does not happen after the OWV changed till this morning. Some how i was caught by surprise as it sounded damn LOUD and LONGER than before the OWV changed!   doh.gif

If any Proton engineer reading this, please let us know how to solve this issue completely, before you guys can go global.
*
Same here, it happened to 3 times so far in a month time after the OWV solved...does not matter it is morning, afternoon or at night.
No oil leaking, I wonder how many preve owner does not facing this ever or it is just normal to our preve? hmm.gif

....luckily mine dont have this over cranking problem. last time got once or twice if i not mistaken. now i keep on practice the way to start car. I want all my mechanical stuffs starts first before press the push start button again.

Enter Key Fob.
press start....the GPS will have proton logo come up. wait till the radio start got sound?
then press start button again. This time you can see all your dashboard sign come out. push start button will have orange ember light.

Then press the brake. after that you can see push start button got green color. then press start button. your car will go through 1 and half to 3  seconds of cracking sound.

Please do not stop pressing the brake...if you lift up your leg while the engine cranking you will hear longer and noisier cranking sound. make sure the cranking process finish then only lift your leg from the brake pedal.

I usually wait the temperature up for one or two bars before i start moving car.

This I only practice during morning cold start. the rest of the stop start my car is the same.

put in key fob. start to press brake. just press the start button.
*
No idea why, It still happen sometimes the over cranking sound, I using the 5 steps every time start the car. blink.gif

Morning everyone. Like bro kiapreve said, getting use to it with those minor problems...not feel already biggrin.gif My FC seems normal, 1 bar around 45km. RM50 petrol can reach 240km to 270km in city drive.

However, I can't tahan with proton after sales service, always make me mad. They still not yet replace the wind screen for my preve thou, waiting for their team from tg. malim & supplier for inspection then only can claim from proton. Being almost 2 weeks already, still no luck to meet them...WTF vmad.gif

My car care voucher going to expire soon in mid of August. I going to claim back whatever fees from proton if they not solve my wind screen problem in time. whistling.gif

Added on August 2, 2012, 10:59 amOne limitation that i noticed in our Preve Bluetooth HU. If the radio is On and we are answering a phone call, our caller cannot listen our voice properly even they HU had swap the voice channel from radio to phone,  they may heard some unclear sound mixed with our radio channel.

Finally got feedback from COSE after fucuk them. Don't tin they ever call up the tg. malim & supplier until I fucuk them this morning.

Then, surprisingly they called back after few hours said no need to wait for the wind screen supplier & tg. malim team for inspection since got photos as prove...straight away approve. rclxms.gif
Set the date on next coming tuesday for changing the wind screen. Yeah. rclxm9.gif
