To me, Preve quite luxurious already...people's car..it sounds more lika Viva lol haha. Anyway, cost of refuelling is definitely higher for Preve

CoSE still has me waiting for the car to be ready.
It's been two full days, and its not ready. Hope to collect it tomorrow morning as they are open till 1.00

Can you guys recommend a better service center around subang jaya? I don't plan to go back to CoSE.

After remap, the car still got Tak Tak sound when starting in the morning. Think it must be OWV problem and not overcrank. I have a few questions:

1) This OWV problem can be fixed at any SC or just COSE?
2) How long does it takes to fix it?
3) If leave it like that, it will not harm the engine?

1.can fix at any SC...PE sc...eon i dunno can or not
2.normally 2-3 days depend on SC
3.dunno,once i got this sound in starting..i send to fix it already,after fix already 7month+,no sound anymore smile.gif

Have to leave car at SC? hmm.gif Not comfortable of leaving the car there for 2 to 3 days.

I read from the previous forum, bro mat79 said that the sound will not affect engine just the sound is annoying.

You can claim the gear knob casing but i doubt can do anything about the scratch. For me, the passenger door handle plastic are scratched too and i feel cry.gif but we need to accept the fact that it is just a car.

i feel the same with u bro, it's a great car but due to poor QC and so on.
so if u got the budget for imported CBU car, pls get one for your next car purchase.
*
Agree 100%.. wasted 1 day to fix car due to poor QC and then got scratch at car interior..haih...if QC is good we do not have to sent for rectification and suffer unnecessary scratch

From my experience, filling up your tank with Petronas will make your engine jerks in low speed. Petron (aka Esso) is good for low speed with less engine jerking, but FC is worse than Petronas for highway driving.

My advice: use Petron for city driving, use Petronas for balik kampung. No need ECU/TCU reflash; by doing it your engine will be noisier. I love the current setting which gives me 100 kph with only 2.1k rpm and 120 kph = 2.5 rpm. Engine is relatively quiet and with correct tyre pressure (+3 psi from recommended values) you will forget that you are driving a Malaysian car  laugh.gif

That's why I am reluctant to sell my Preve even though I am extremely fuming with my GPS problem and Proton's poor QC...
*
I am also fuming with Proton's poor QC and service workmanship but the driving experience is awesome.

Before i updated my CFE, i got abt 11-12L/100km, after updating, i get abt 14l/100km Is it acceptable or should i go over to Cose & screw them?
My mileage is 750km so far, C/N 177XX
*
It is acceptable as other owners are saying that the FC is higher after remap

huhu... no lah... preve for family / weekend use... going to work i usually merempit (if not raining)..

anyway, some "magic" happened to my car after reflash ecu/tcu several weeks ago..
when i collect my car, i forgot to put key into the slot, but then i can start the car..
tried few times also happened, SA also cannot explain why..
this week pulak, have to slot balik, no more having the privilege to keep the kunci in my pocket.. sigh!
how about the other? had similar experience?

oh ye, i notice water droplets tend to stick at the rear windscreen after rain.. even put the HEATER also not helping..
what product u guys use to put on the rear windscreen so that water droplet won't stay?
appreciate the suggestion... thanks...
*
For removing or keeping water droplets away, use Rain X.

how much is glaco?? compared to rain-x? rain x 1 bottle about rm25 right?
*
Glaco is priced above RM30...i think..but they have the roller to apply the solution unlike rain x which require you to pour it on a cloth and then apply in a circular motion on the glass.
