Abang mat79, how about a manual with similar problem? I've stalled my car several times when I slot into 1st, then rev the engine a little. Not yet release clutch also.
Nowadays, I'm especially scared when I stop @ toll. I have to rev REALLY high to launch or the car will suddenly shudder & die I've already sent my car for 10000KM service & they did something called "adaptation". Now the problem is worse
Something i realize though. If I release clutch and don't press accelerator, the car takes off smoothly. The idle automatically increases & the car start moving. After that, if I totally release the clutch & press the accelerator the car takes off (very slowly also lah ) but it doesn't stall (unless the A/C disengages - then whole hell breaks loose! ). Is this the anti-stall mechanism working (if there is one)?

Thanks for the reply Abg. mat79 I'll check with the Glenmarie SC when I go for my appointment tomorrow. The clutch-bearing noise is getting worse and I think I need to get it resolved urgently as well
By the way, I drive a manual (not CFE) so I guess the OCV issue not relevant to me, right?

About the launching issue, yes, I do occasionally rev about 1.5K - 2K RPM but when I rev once, release the pedal a bit then rev again (to adjust), the RPM drops quite low. As a result, I stall sometimes too Even if you press about the same intensity for both times, the first time high, then the second time low. That coupled with the slow response of the DBW makes judging the power a bit difficult Is this normal Abg. mat79?

Thanks for all the advice anyway Appreciate it A LOT!!!

Err... what is OCV? I seem to have confused "OCV" with "OWV"
Update: OCV = Oil Control Valve Found it Thanks...

Hi guys. Went to the Glenmarie SC today as I was given a 9.00AM appointment. Handed the keys & waited for 1.5 hours before someone attended to me. I patiently explained the issue (erratic idling & squeaking on the right side rear wheel area when moving & clutch bearing noise - which might need an MIR) & asked the guy if I can be arranged to talk to the mechanic once he had assessed my car. He said I'll have to either wait until it's my car's turn (don't know how long) OR come back @ 2.30PM and he'll arrange to meet a mechanic. So I took the 2nd option & went back to work.
Came back at 2.30PM, talked to the same guy and handed my keys over. Then I waited.... and waited.... and waited for a good 1.5 hours before he came back with "breaking news", stating that my idling problem "might" be due to the clutch bearing issue ( ). Then he proceeded to tell me they were waiting for me to send the car in for 2 days (with no relieve car possible) before actually checking the issue to make an MIR, then another 1 day to actually fix it. And all this without even touching my car.
When I said I'll deal with CoSE directly, he proceeded to make me wait another hour or so to check the squeaking noise. I called the guy after 10 minutes when I say no one checking up on my car, asked for my keys & left!

Summary:
1) Wasted almost 4 hours waiting for nothing. What's the point of an appointment when you have to wait 1 hour before you're even attended to?!!!
2) Nothing got fixed. Everything have to "refer to HQ". What are they there for anyway? Tukar minyak? That one also have to ask HQ every few minutes maybe?
3) Why can't they update us customers periodically when we're waiting there for hours like idiots?! They have all the time to meander around and peek at other people's car when it's being fixed, but not walk over to the waiting area and take 30 seconds to talk to the customer? Against some policy? OR just plain stupid?

Sorry for ranting here guys, just wanted you guys to know what service I got here so far... Disappointing to say the least...

Friend, got map or not? I'm bad with addresses

By the way, I heard that the 'adaptation' we mentioned about previously was actually "clutch adaptation" and it has something to do with the ratio adjustment for CVT 'boxes only, not manuals. This is what I got from the idiots who attended to my car anyway. Anyone can confirm this?

Me too! I thought it was the suspension bits or something... so I asked the SC to check my suspension. Not suspension-ah?

Huh? Ape citer nie?

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

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

I think the "furry seat" issue will not have a permanent solution. The more you rub on it, the "furrier" it becomes. The only surefire way of solving it is to replace the seat covers Leather anyone?

BTW, I spent another 4 hours in CoSE yesterday ( ) and they finally agreed to fix the bl00dy issue! They will order parts & some time next week, I'll need to hand over my ride to them. Still no confirmation on a replacement car though, so I'll call them this Friday to confirm.

I also have an erratic idling issue (still). When A/C disengage, the idling sometimes OK, sometimes modulates high & low. Anyone SUCCESSFULLY fixed it yet?

Masuk air kot?



If it sounds very rough, could be the regulator. They will happily replace it if you complaint. Got mine replaced a few weeks ago after service - very rough "krrrrrok" sound when winding down

Which you prefer:
1) Being bounced back & forth from SC to SC because they "need to check with HQ" for every single thing; or
2) Go to HQ, sit there until someone gets you a conclusive answer, although its 4 hours later?

It depends on severity of issue-lah bro... like my case, I have no where to go EXCEPT CoSE. Unless you have a better suggestion of course...

Well, that's not a solution, is it? Just rants... But maybe if you run a service center in the near future, I'll drop by & take an Evora while you fix mine...
They give free coffee though

Not really. Left with no choice actually Everything also point to CoSE. So I ended up going there myself. However, since you suggested EON service, I'll try it the next time. Thanks bro

Welcome to the club my friend...

Managed to tangkap the fellow or not?

Seriously?! There's no power below 2000RPM bro... The car starts pulling away > 2000RPM. That also VERY gradually... Try driving a manual & you'll understand

Yes Abg. mat79, that sounds about right On highway driving, it'll be about 90km/h to 100km/h. I usually cruise @ 3000RPM

Manual

Had the same problem with my car too... and I drive a manual

Manyak cantek nombor... saya punya mana Latok?

WOW!
Map! Map!
