Yalorr..double the CC & the turbo..no need to feel sad one. The price is also 7x higher than the Preve CFE..how fair is that?

Just wanna share :

This is by far the best Average FC that i can get from my wife's Preve CFE when mostly autocruising at 110km/h on the highway (from Kedah to KL). Sorry for the blurred pic..just snapped it by myself while cruising & using a camera phone only

I've posted here before regarding my Forte 2.0's FC. Truth be told, my Forte 2.0 gives better FC in this case. It's a 4-speed Forte by the way..the current 6-speed Forte i believe will do better...

I got this FC figure just by driving with my wife only + 1 full luggage bag. Heavier car (with full load) might as well increasing the FC figure...

Good info bro..but for mileage, u mean in mile or km?

TQVVM for this useful info bro. I guess i need to replace my Denso Iridium Power plugs soon. Reaching 30k km mileage for the plugs already (on my Forte). Since that i drive sedately most of the time, i believe i can extend the plug usage a bit further, perhaps until the next scheduled service.

What bro Ai609 said is correct & it is absolutely normal. Try to turn off the aircond, u will notice that the so-called 'very loud' sound is gone U will also occasionally heard this sort of 'weird' sound when u already turn off the engine. Just seat back & relax..it is just a fan that running automatically for a while to cools down the engine. This fan will automatically turn itself off after a while

The same..as quiet as ever. I hardly can notice when the aircond compressor turn on (my Forte). I've posted about this here on post #493 & here on post #1971

My wife's Preve also kena already..long & deep scratch at lower rear bumper. Dont know who did that..a careless driver at the parking area i guess..simply run away. Luckily no kemek at the bumper...

My Forte also like that maa..it is completely normal. Which car uses stainless steel brake disk? Lolz

Thanks again bro..it is so much appreciated. Will push the plugs for another 10k mileage with confident now

I have to agree with u on this..& i've also said about this before. Proton seems to make the starting procedure a bit complicated by introducing this type of start stop button. The car should be able to be started without we even touching the key..that should be the way for a keyless entry & engine start/stop

Ya..i have said about this also previously. From my observation, the auto climate control only controls the blower speed automatically but not the air intake mode, vents selection & AC/Fan only mode. But the Preve aircond is powerful nonetheless.

When i set the aircond on auto mode on a hot sunny day (after parked the car under the sun for sometime), the fan will blast to its maximum speed for several seconds & then slowing down for several seconds then max speed again for several seconds. This behavior happen continuously for several minutes until the inside temp went down (then the blower speed will stabilize). I dont know whether this is normal or abnormal..anyone able to verify this?

"tp set it at a lower speed"? I cant digest this statement bro. tp = temperature?

From my understanding, if u set the temp to say 25C, the compressor will operate as it is regardless u set it in 'auto blower speed' mode or 'manual blower speed' mode. So i believe the "not good for the compressor in the long run" if using auto mode is out of the equation..unless u said "not good for the blower in the long run"

Again from my understanding..it's the other way round in fact especially at a lower blower speed. If we set the blower speed manually at low speed (not at the optimum speed), more time is needed to cool the car's interior, thus the compressor will run for a longer period to cool down the interior. If we set to auto mode instead, the AC system will set blower speed automatically to the optimum speed (to cools down the car optimally), thus shorten the compressor running time (good for compressor in long term)

Less compressor running time = better FC

So..choose your 'mazhab' wisely

Ya..it's a good feature for us, but on the other hand..it's a good 'feature' for car thieves also to indicate that the car is in unlock mode (if we forgot to lock the car) when they (the thieves) saw that the side mirror is in unfold position..sure easy target for them

Set the angle of the cool air blowing from the vents to your head..sure got cold head..lolz
