Puchong SC.. they will do only when u ask for it.. even when ur car chassis number is affected (based on service bulletin)


done serviced my abby for 10k yesterday... things that i complained: -
1. seat "krekk krekk" at backrest - they only apply grease, summore saying that other preve also the same..
2. RH wiper touching body frame - adjusted.
3. headlamp settings - adjusted
4. power window switch sometimes malfunction on driver power window only - they only reaffix the socket only, last time reaffix socket still the same..
5. air-cond whistling sound when in medium speed - they say campro engine air-cond will always got that whistling sound??? do nothing..

forgot about the ECU remapping until 1 hour later then telling him to do it.. if not, they simply just keep quiet only..

Opps, I also having the same the right wiper touching the frame but I did not mention it...i though is normal

Do your power window got "glu glu glu" sound when pressing down during the hot day? SC just applied grease but they mentioned if happen again they will change the part. Today afternoon, tried the power window still having "glu glu glu" sound. Do you guys also having the same sound??

I did the ECU/TCU remapping this morning at COSE, very fast about 1 hour settled. So far cannot comment much, just feel the POWER like inspira, very responsive...have to adapt the new settings again.

did ur friend ask NO to VIOS too??? since almera and VIOS are same B segment... i cant brain why he as say no to Preve only??

Because it is a PROTON. Vios is a TOYOTA 5 star rating.

but VIOS obviously ALmera's direct competitor... both Jepun celup ASEAN made.. both old tech gadgets.. both old tech 4AT.. but why only preve he say NO??
cant brain

When a Preve overtake his Almera or Vios when naik genting, he will really say "NOOoooooooooo!!!" to Preve.

Added on November 20, 2012, 7:21 pmthe power window "glu glu" sound cannot be solved by just applying grease or watever crap..they need to disemble the whole door panel and adjust something or change something...i manage to solved mine in cose last week..saw them taking off the whole door panel..now working like charm..last time asked around in forum and the only answer i got is apply silicone spray..which is bullshit..

This kind of SC really makes Proton name bad...can complain to the HQ? If the HQ also like this, then Proton can go pack and close shop...

1. My car also have - does not bother to complain
2. Not sure, have not look yet but got 'tak tak tak' sound when I use it during rainny day...I think it is the shorter one that cause the sound
3. nothing wrong with mine
4. mine is ok..
5. never on my aircond pass medium speed .. (go to work early in the morning, leave work late evening..rainy season..cooling)

Had a wonderful time driving home today in my Preve
Reason: On the music to level 20...listen to my favourite songs...all the 'tak tak tak' , gluk gluk gluk , tik tik tik, dahsboard vibrate, all cannot hear already...

, well say bro.

and the Preve will say Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok, i have been following this preve thread a few days.

in term of performance and spec, i have no doubt preve win hand down when comparing to vios, almera. proton did very impressive in this preve. nothing to deny.

however, i found the quality is still a problem to Proton.

even though it might be just some small issues, but it will keep giving me headache to go SC, complain, follow up and etc..

well, i am quite busy with my work, these small issues is going to kill me.

could i conclude that, if i want a peace of mind, i should say No, and avoid Preve?

hope preve owner could give me neutral comment on my above statement.

thank you

Those all sorts of problems are easily fixable. They are looking for methods to improve here and there, and many of them already SOLVED.
Its not like any of those small problems that will affect the safety of your vehicle cruising on the roads.

Bros, I am going for 1K 1st Service next week + new ECU/ TCU remap.

Can you still remember how your engine feel like after your 1st Service?
Smoother?
Better FC?

Can I whack above 3K RPM & above 160KMH after 1st Service?

I actually whack 160km/h even before 1st service.

After 1st service, engine will be smoother, more refined, less "grinding" sound. Again that was b4 the ECU/TCU mapping.

With new ECU/TCU mapping, engine mounting fuel line hose MOD, turbo pressure house cable ties mod, the driving experience is seriously good NOW

After my 1st service, i felt that engine more noisy and rough. Maybe due to the engine oil which is thicker.

Perhaps so, I believe u are using 15w50 fully synthetic?
I'm using 10w30 semi for the time being, 5w30 next

Yeah, that time the SA highly recommended. Can I change to 5w30 or 5w40 next service interval which is 10k?

Sure why not?
The first rating of the oil grade, the lower it is, the better the pickup will be. Generally feel LIGHTER

Thanks.
I can't wait for the remap. Was told that the true power & nature of Preve CFE shows itself after the remap
