Updated already or if anything do it at first 1000km. Just tell them before you collect the car you want it updated.

After receiving the car, just send it to a competent SC to check if you have the latest update.

I don't think so. Preve CFE is a turbo engine, it might damage the turbo as gas burns hotter than petrol. If you want to convert to LNG, buy the Exec variant. But yeah you lose the warranty.

Installing NGV does not necessarily void your warranty. There is a member at the Persona tered who made the conversion outside right after he got his car, Proton COE tells him that they will still honor the warranty.

Besides, Proton also provide their own NGV conversion packages.

After some research, yes you can NGV a turbo engine. But it has to be done properly.

Hers is a link from NGV community in Malaysia:

If you notice most of proton SA will take your car keys and go in and sit inside your car to take note of your mileage etc. Mine in Kepong SC don't. He will open the door and just stand outside and take the mileage. Why?

Because my preve got a strong perfume smell la..DURIAN PERFUME! blush.gif

I said 'apa boleh buat,boss..musim durian la..' He said my car is don't know number how many already got this smell..
I make don't know only and said ' ya kah?" then smile..His face look serious, boy..I think he is not the durian type of guy.

Once my car is inside the service bay, the swat team quickly go into action put in the antibac then come the 'K-A-B-O-O-M!' then smoke is everywhere..All hell broke loose, i think all the durian smell that got trapped inside all died liao.. laugh.gif

Are you sure? Last time arthur asked they said its a typo. saga 1.6 is actually for preve. When i update mine, they use saga 1.6 with preve tcu file as i mentioned earlier.

When I was inside the service bay with the proton mechanics to do the reflash, there is a list of models on the monitor for you to choose. Just make sure they select the right one. Mine is almost flashed with Exora. Later they choose PREVE. sweat.gif

I was so sad once i found out that my jawbone is not in my computer bag. I remembered very well I took it out from my car before i handle my car remote to SA and put into my computer bag. How come now is not inside.

Then I remembered back, it must have dropped off once i took out my iphone charger wire from the same pocket to charge my phone. Luckily I was one of the last two customer that day. I was waiting for my car to come back from respraying.

The next day I called back the SC Kepong, they said ' kita ada jumpa satu hitam punya.. tapi x tau apa brand la..tak ada tulis pun.."
I said ' ya la betul..tu buatan cina punya..memang x da brand punya la..tlg kasi simpan..tadi i dtg ambil' She said 'OK, jumpa cashier ya'

Personally i think if got brand written there, i don't think I can get it back. It is my lucky day indeed. My jawbone retailed at RM499.00.

Thank you SC Kepong.

OK, another story..I was having a chat with the other proton 1.6flx owner since only two of us left at around 6pm. He told me, he sent his car for service in Sg Besi SC. His car mileage is only 10K km. After serviced, he just drove off as normal. The next few days it was raining while he is driving, and suddenly the front car applied brake. He quickly brake too but the car skidded. Luckily nothing bad happened. He was wondering all the while he braked during raining is ok, but why today skidded. A day after, while he was washing his car, suddenly he see the tyre thread is 50% gone! on all 4 tyres! He strongly believe those guys in SC switched all his 4 tyres. He is a mechanic himself.

So, guys...PLEASE check and recheck before you drive off!
