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
