Never heard of such due dates for service intervals. There's a due date for engine oil but that's 6 months after first use. So this cannot be correct. Not unless your last service was in February 2012. I think that SC is probably desperate for $$

maybe desperate for $$ biggrin.gif

Negligible weight. I didn't really weigh the whole thing but I think at most a few hundred grams only. Not supposed to be heavy at all.

I tried that some weeks ago. Still got some bulging. A new car shouldn't be like this. Some more when the screw is no longer there, the door rest feels longgar.

i am bringing my car into tomorrow for her first service. i've gone thru' the owner's manual, check-list and i've also noticed several things. i wonder if anyone has experiences on some queries and issues i've identified, and wouldn't mind sharing your opinions and advice:

1. Manual unlocking using the key - When unlocking using the key, can the alarm be disarmed without the remote?
2. Starting the ignition - I remember some other members experienced the same issue: after a long period of inactivity, say several hours, when the car engine is started again, there is a really short loud grinding sound from the engine.
3. The car is very sluggish at slow speeds or when moving from stop. Will a retune or remap of ECU (whatever that is) help?
4. Noisy CVT transmission/engine at low rpms and/or low gears.
5. Steering wheel veers to the left slightly - Tyre balancing and re-alignment needed? Will Proton do this as part of the servicing?
6. Rear left wheel/suspension creaks when turning at low speeds or going up the hill.
7. Dashboard rattles/vibrates, particularly when accelerating at lower gears/speeds.
8. ESC indicator on the console - Lights up on when lights switched on. Shouldn't it light up when with the lights switched off?
9. Windshield washers - Left side sprays water at a considerably lower angle; is this intentional so that the water is washed across to the other side when the wipers are turned on?
10. Left front grill of the front fog lights is covereed versus the right side.... I think a member hightlighted this before; is this intentional?
11. GPS maps/software - Do they upgrade it often with each servicing?
12. Head lamp leveling switch next to the Start/Stop button is abscent -  Not available for M'sian models?
13. Head light flasher will not turn off when lever is pulled inwards slightly and released.
14. In the Proton Preve Checklist made by the LY members, there is a "seat belts height adjuster" entry. I don't see any way to adjust the seat belts heights..... is it a change for some models of the Preve?

many thanks in advance for your feedback smile.gif

1.slot in remote and press start button will disarmed the alarm

2.u got the sound often?if not then not a problem...if always got sound and detected oil leak,then is a big problem..OWV

3.after 1k sevice will better,and told the sc about the sluggish,maybe they will check/remap ecu for u

4.normal...cvt sound

5.alignment needed,free before 1k...some sc give u free also even over 1k for 1st service

6.told sc about that,they will try tighten everything

7.this 1 dunno...my dash no rattles

8.swtich off will light up a esc off light,when esc on button beside HU will light up

9.this 1 cant adjust,manufacturer defect biggrin.gif

10.left side not covered cos need air for cooling the intercooler located there

11.no,heard say need buy from proton for update...

12.msian model takde rclxub.gif

13.flasher will not off if headlamp on...only work when headlamp off...

1.there isn't any any leak noticed, but what does OWV stand for?
one way valve,that the thingy that cause cranking sound when start..

2.oh okay, well, i'll have to keep driving to take note. also, disappointed as my car was sent to a 3rd party authorised Proton service centre, as opposed to a 3S one. so the mechanic only gave the excuse it's normal for the Preve to be sluggish. performance will only kick in after 3000rpm..... hmm.gif
once again, not the Proton 3S, hence they didn't have balancing/wheel alignment facilities. i'm not happy with my SA dry.gif
no need to follow SA...just call to proton 3S nearby u for a appointment for servicing...proton 3s got all the needed tools they got for remap ecu and alignment


3.ooooooh.... noob question. what does an intercooler do? nevermind, i just looked it up, it's to cool the turbocharger of the Prevé engine right? that's the fan i heard after the engine is turn off?
intercooler to cool the air flow generate from turbo before enter the engine...the fan sound after engine turn off is to cool down the turbo unit,the fan will auto turn off after a few minit

4.oh.... is that true? hmm.... then, not a fault, but designing flaw i would think tongue.gif because, i feel if you're driving at night, with dipped headlamps, then you wanna flash, have to keep pressing the lever hard in to turn off and on. that's just a minor inconvenience.
yeah,inconvenience when wanna flashing at night...

And yes, it has autolock feature, but only when you unlock the car for more than 30secs without opening the doors.

I think bcm got problem, proton dont know how to deal with it because this is the first time they had. Then baru call ppl go unlock it.
And yes, he said this is very hard and he has to take 15mins to open it. Normally 5mins will do. This is also good for preve that need more professional in opening the lock then can temper preve door  rclxms.gif

i tot need more time to unlock it...maybe 1 hour ke?? biggrin.gif
