QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Oct 19 2012, 03:34 PM) Wah, bought new BMW 3 silis. thanks...preve executive is ok then....there's the power of "S" mode for hill climb anyday, anytime It can even pull a church up to Genting. second part exaggerated a bit. as for the BMW look, I saw back of a Black Preve this morning near Kelana Jaya, it does look like a BMW This post has been edited by ryuken74: Oct 19 2012, 09:10 PM |

just drove my new preve executive cvt around cheras just now..i would say it is a great car, control is great, comfy, need to get use to the CVT though.....
engine a bit noisy when rev the engine during stop-start on a slope.... overall driving experience is great...did not notice I reach 100km/h at some point.. The one and only concern that I have now is the reliability |

Good day to all previans..
Got my Preve Executive CVT for 3 days only Situation: on 9Nov Raining, standstill traffic jam, wiper on at normal mode (wiper have interval,normal and hi-speed mode), Bluetooth Radio Streaming, Main Headlights ON (fog light off), Aircond ON Problem: 1. During the fan/compressor kicks in, the light in the car become dim, the streaming stop and continue after 1sec 2. The funny part is the wiper which I set at normal speed mode, become Interval Mode. 3. And lastly the problem that I worried, the engine rev high then low, seems like to to die off at low rpm... I switch off the aircond and drive again, problem no 1 and no2 still occur but problem no3 does not, and I was already out of the standstill jam, driving at normal speed I think that the power/alternator does not give enough power to the car system, which causes all this problem. Anyone encounter this kind of problem before? |

QUOTE(nicgoh @ Nov 10 2012, 09:39 AM) problem 1 is not a problem.. its normal.. even for myvi or city.. i experienced the same thing.. normal la bro.. relax hehe..I do not worry about prob no 1 and no 2... the prob no 3 is what I worried, scare the engine shut down or suddenly jerk in front when high rev and hit other cars.. overall driving experience is very good...I would not say the car is underpowered..it is a 1.6l that drags a 1.3ton car...the pulling power is understandable and acceptable.. going outstation with my preve today |

QUOTE(nicgoh @ Nov 10 2012, 09:59 AM) hehe.. go flash the new ecu tcu mapping.. many members said that it makes ur preve feel lighter than before! good pick up! thanks bro ... safe journey bro.. ps: i am not a preve owner yet mine is the executive model, I think most of the forumers here are discussing the ecu tcu updates for the premium model.. I drove a myvi premium before, myvi is small compact, easy to move around, zig zag, parking , u-turn, very good...but if you say perodua car are better than proton, I think preve is making a very good progress at the overall quality. The reliability is in a question mark now.. hope it can last me for more than 7 years This post has been edited by ryuken74: Nov 10 2012, 10:06 AM |

QUOTE(mat79 @ Nov 10 2012, 11:27 AM) just a short drop by, for no 1, its normal, but better checked whether the battery conector is well intact@tighten. wow..that's a very comprehensive explaination No 2, if normal speed turn interminent speed during stopping the car,its normal coz that is one of bcm functions. But if its till in interminent mode while driving,but the indicator on normal speed, then need to recheck the stalk@bcm module. No 3, just warm up a bit b4 driving, 1 minute shud be enough to allow the cvt properly lubricate, n dont shift too fast between the gears, especially in D mode to R, from R mode to D, coz it involve planetary gear change for reversing to give it fix gear ratio, while d mode is using pulley to give it infinite ratio. Same goes who r have encounter once a while dying when engaging reverse gear, unless its pertinent, then its ocv valve for cfe engine(not preve, but also for bold). Iinm, they already improve on that matter on the later production of the engine. Same as owv n vvt sprocket which being recall on affected engine batch previously. By again, to cntinue enjoying my holidays. Added on November 10, 2012, 11:35 amif take good care of the maintenance, it shud serve u well. Especially the coolant n gearbox oil part which many campro owners previously seems to have their own method by using other makes coolant, using water, never properly flush coolant every 40k n refill back using correct coolant,using diff rating of gbox oil n etc. On engine alone, many properly maintain engine already past 250k km without probs according to prtn record of service, just wear n tear parts need to replace on time such fuel filter(which many ommited), feadbelt, timing belt n etc. Added on November 10, 2012, 11:38 amand dont drive exceeding 3k rpm or 100kmh for 1st 1k km coz the lube need to properly lubricate all the cylinder, being die cast iron based, the surface isnt smooth as alluminium based, hence need sometimes to properly lubricate. Same as other reason why break in rules apply. Added on November 10, 2012, 11:42 amn about spark plug chip in the engine, of course, since spark plug is in the engine,if any piece of things slips inside the combustion chamber,in any engine, it can cause troublesome to the engine. Wah,so many things to write, sorry for not explain deeply coz on holidays. Time to totally offline. Added on November 10, 2012, 12:03 pmhaishhh...some people did in other thread keep find out fault of prtn cars...if my memory has a good recall, nearly none of other makes launch their car 1stly here aka early batch except if not mistaken lancer gt. When the cars arrive here, most of the probs already iron out, some even decide to throw old tech coz newer tech can be troublesome until most of the probs being iron out. But still some prob still bugging some makes n models even already in the market for a long time. If people care to read the responds n comments around the world when the product is firstly reveal n launch(1st batch in the world), then nearly all are not trouble free, whether its under toyota, honda, beemer, merc,vw, kia, hyundai, ford n etc. Is like people say cvt is unreliable,useless n etc, that why the japs toyota n honda ditching it for proper auto, then need to look back why they offer cvt the their own people while ditching the proper auto? Is it they r selling a bad things to their own, n offer better to us? Haishhh...tired already. But really nice to know that some people did understand. I dont want to point out any specific product, but the highly rated product in malaysia currently, which seems trouble free(dunno whether really trouble free coz some did keep it in private owners discussion), but not in other countries where it launch earlier on.... Sorry for the rant. Just feeling sad...bye. I am driving executive cvt, not premium CFE model.. ok... I think No1 and No2 is normal..for No2, if I recall back correctly, the wiper in normal speed mode, the car stuck in traffic jam, so it is not moving, the wiper turn to intermittent mode, will check again if it rains and I am stuck in traffic as for number 3, the car was already properly lubricate cozit was evening time when I finish work , on my way home..will try your method and let the engine run for awhile before starting my journey today.. as for the shifting gear from R to D and D to R too fast, haha...I encounter once when I was at the service station, want to leave in a hurry, shift from R to D, then car did jerk a bit but did not die off ... Preve is a good car, no doubt about it...ride and handling and the quality of the parts have improve quite a lot since I own a Waja in 2001 (the worst nightmare in my life,, early batch of Waja, changes 6 power windows, 6 or 7 door handles, overhaul the engine twice) and lastly thanks a lot for the advice This post has been edited by ryuken74: Nov 10 2012, 12:29 PM |
