Yes, had this. They replaced my regulator. Please highlight this during whenever you drop by the service center.

and another issue is I've set my HU brightness to auto, so whenever I on my car lights the HU backlight will dim off but occasionally it'll light up & go dim again. This happens randomly almost on a daily basis..

Check if it is really 'random' or it occurs whenever your A/C kicks in. If when A/C kicks in, then its a common problem. Many Preve owners already complain. You'll get the "A/C compressor very powerful..." crap from SC sad.gif

Hi arthur88, maybe I missed it? What is the result of updated HU software and engine adaptation program?
HU no more blinking/flashing like crazy? Engine adaptation update solve the car slow down jerking problem?

Thanks! smile.gif

from what i observe, not much difference on both aspect.
for the engine adaptation, after applying it, the first time EVER i got mati engine when shifting D to R when making 3-point turn...more responsive as the rpm more lower to move the car...


another thing, everytime i aaply engine adaptation, seems like it will become like i 1st time take car from show room, full tank only manage to get 350-400km....previous i apply engine adaptation also same....but after few refuel, the FC slowly improves...

Arthur,
did your car engine mati before the engine adaptation? i wonder if the engine adaptation you were referring to is the same as ECU refreshed?

they will reset ECU everytime they apply engine adaptation....
before they apply version 1.4, no mati engine issue...
currently, version 1.5, first time and ONCE, so far mati engine...

I dint even notice the CONFIDENTIAL wording there lolz It was stuck on a bulletin board on the wall of the service area in a authorized Proton SC. Probably not meant to be seen by customers, but they allow customers to wander around in the service area anyway

Where's this place Dares? Seldom sees Proton SC that allows customer to wonder around in service bay..

SOmetimes like what bro Sanadi said, silicone spray would settle the problem but sometimes its due to the cable inside. If silicone spray didn't settle it, then highlight it to SC.

Setting the HU light to auto really2 goes blinking like crazy sometime bro. The same like maverick said, set it to either day or night then it will be lesser dimming.

Other than that u might wanna opt for VS grounding. Some of of us who tested it also claimed at least the blinking will be lesser.

Refer few pages back bro. If ur car's chassis number falls under that category need to get the part replaced. BTW, never seen u before in this thread.. hmm.gif

i wouldnt say so cause i havent really push my car to the limit yet (200 or 220).
so far 1 week 100% city drive, plus some 25 or 30 degree hill climbing while going to kek lok si...
wana try high speed in highway then only can be certain...
i would advise give it more time.... i was thinking maybe got chance to test it if northen region TT worked out, but turn out failed, but still, i want to try max speed with current engine adaptation software version...
