Perhaps wrong version of TCU, no idea.

I'm not alone who having these issues, there are quite a number of us felt so.

there is...

my SA no getting back to me oledi (he commited the day before that PW issues solved) as i complain about the power window bulging outwards... but it still happened to one of forumer here who collected 2 days ago... sad.gif doh.gif
*
Those were old stocks, which with bulging issue.
Latest batch do updated with the redesigned power window regulator, which only lessen the issue of door trimboard bulging issue. Completely eliminate it? Not yet.

SA will not able to give you any guarantee, even Proton themselves could not YET.

tak ada pop corn time pun..

come to think of it, we need to :-

-put paper to stop dashboard vibration      - I have no such issue, send your car into service centre to rectify it, perhaps poor fitting
-tie fuel line hose to reduce mounting vibration    -  This is an enhanced method by Drex Chan from EA, which transverse mounted engine mounting no gap?
-put 3m tube to reduce sound noise   - This isn't high end car, that should come with top notch noise insulation. Go check out Myvi and share with us.
-put play doh to reduce wind sound   - This isn't high end car, that should come with top notch noise insulation. Go check out Myvi and share with us.
-cut carpet to pedal down more         - One of the 7-points free inspection and rectification by Proton, you can perform at any service centre
-what else...

woit ! Proton designer tido kah?  Please read this thread to improve la..

some more got issue like.

-gluk gluk sound when travelling at 90kmph and above - Check with SC, I dun experience it
-windows klek klek sound going up and down - Already solved with new redesigned power window regulator, do change it at service centre.
-over cranking sound when starting  - Most members mentioned new ECU mapping solve this issue.
-asap smell in cabin                         - The car doesn't come any A/C filter, only hexagonal grille filter, purchase one if you need it.
-air cond noisy sound when blowing  - Check with SC, I dun experience it.
-tank holder rusty                            - Known issue, already given solution by Proton
-seat berbulu                                  - Only certain owners with this issue, can be replaced FOC
-seat noisy goyang goyang like want to cabut already       - Certain owners have this issue, just send the complain, Proton will work this. All manufacturers need feedback from owner, else they won't know the problem that happens on their cars
-wiper hitting frame when high speed      - Readjust the wiper arm position, any SC can do this
-windows panel bulging when roll up       - Unresolved matter
-door welding spot rusty                  - Perhaps only first batch owner have this issue, can be rectified
-car jerking when slow down            - Characteristics of CVT, its the same with DSG gearbox too
-head light not balance                     - Isn't that light on the left should go further than right?
-steering shake when do hard braking      - Please perform tyre/wheel balancing and share with us again on this issue
-boot auto open                               - Redesigned boot lid has solved the issue, latest batch has no such issue anymore. Do visit nearest SC for rectification
-engine mati when reverse               - Known issue with CVT gearbox, do not switch from D to R too fast
-engine cannot start                         - More like lemon units to me
-engine cannot mati                         - More like lemon units to me
-etc etc

I sincerely hope we don't hear any more complaints as above for new batch..or else how to go global..Almera also claimed to be global car..

Is there a almera thread in lyn?

anyway, my info is from the owner owned preve 2 days only, chassis no close to 16k.
he very sure and confirm the bulging issues and here his reply "Can definitely feel Bengkak wan."

It is an unresolved matter. Confirmed by Proton.
Their vendor is working this.
It happen on Saga BLM too.

if that is the case, just wait for Proton to come up with the solution..in the meantime, there is nothing wrong with  the operation of the power windows...if regulator issues, unless it causes fire , otherwise just let them have some time to rectify this problem..

Owners can always highlight the problem every time they service their car at the SC..besides, not only Proton have this door frame issue...

I would rather have Proton settle the more important issues like engine suddenly die off or the engine cannot off etc...

Even the Toyota also have Power windows switch problem ..took them few years to realize it..
Toyota Prius also have ECU bug back then, but I don't see the car owners in Malaysia complaining so much? It is a matter of life and death when the ECU goes crazy....


Added on November 22, 2012, 11:26 pm
signal weak in certain area or signal weak all the time...I experience it sometimes, somewhere near my house, the FM signal is slightly weak...

I would say the radio reception in Preve is average ..


Added on November 22, 2012, 11:29 pm
Preve PW = Saga PW
Preve Side Mirror = Persona side mirror
Preve door handle = Persona door handle?
Preve Exec CVT engine = Proton Saga 1.6 SE engine

... etc...  laugh.gif

Bro Allen,

If the problem was from Saga BLM, it have been a few years already..still unresolve? It is either the vendor is a SH*THEAD or Proton just don't care about it..

How was your ride with the new ECU/TCU remap? brows.gif
*
New mapping, can do 160km/h. New mapping good for city driving, top speed, not really. Tune more to be city driving

Ryuken74, this is improvement. Not defect.

Not all service centre can perform the mapping. Mainly of manpower issue. We can't afford our cars stranded there if suddenly they can't flash properly?

Bro mat79, understand that ecu/tcu update is improvement. How abt power window regulator? Can I said this is due to defect?

How manufacturer deal with defect?
When they receive complains from public, then they will update to it accordingly.
So if u have problems, it may not have raised by many people, do lodge a complain.

Damage? PM for Drex Chan in Prevoc FB.
Comfort? No idea yet, feel the car is much stable and solid in cornering.
I hardly bring in any passengers, so not really priority in that.

hey. im scared to update the ecu. im afraid it will bring down the top speed. low end might get powerful but top end will loose. what about mid end where we usually deal with? is it good or the car heavier to move in mid end?  hmm.gif

anyone already flash can confirm?  rolleyes.gif

I do think new mapping above 150km/h, the old mapping was better in this.
0 to 130km/h, new mapping shine wink.gif

Again, new mapping is to solve several issues too beside just the low end power.
There's also possible solution for overcrank, etc.

Good morning,

I have a Preve. Just wanna ask. I feel that the ride is bit more bumpy than the Persona although both have multilink suspension. Is it that the Preve's suspension setup is harder or is the GT Radial tyres on Preve a hard compound tyre? If it's the tyres thinking of changing them to something softer.

Thanks!
*
The handling of Preve is a little bit harder than Persona.

A comparison below would give u a better idea.
Gen-2, sporty handling.
Persona, comfort handling.
Preve? Sit between them.

GT Radial BAX 2...well they are very much hard compound if you ask me. Its more towards higher mileage rather than comfortness. Comfortness usually soft and high wear tear.

Hi guys, basically I am having these few problems with my car.
-Firstly there's wobbling in high speed braking and the front tires noise is very obvious when traveling in high speed.
-Secondly the radio reception problem has been bothering me, i get unclear reception most of the time when driving, when it's idling i find it ok. When going on uneven road it's worse, so i suspect there might be a loose connection, which I plan to send it for service + complaints at EON Glenmarie.
-Thirdly and sad most, I saw a flaw on the lh inner taillamp. Looks like it's broken on the top left corner.

Appreciate if any of you could share the remedy for these problems.
*
1. Wobbling high speed braking, assuming you are using stock rim/tyre, etc. Try check your wheel balancing & alignment, else something wrong with your brakes. GT Radial is never a quiet tyre to begin with. If you want quiet tyre, get a soft compound tyre or add sound insulation to your vehicle.
2. No experience of so, perhaps send to service centre for rectification.
3. If RH inner reflector have no such issue, go and claim the warranty. wink.gif

A small survey poll is made in Prevoc @ FB where there is plan suggested by several members, to have a convoy to Genting Highlands.

Would be glad if you guys can input ur suggestion on it.
Gathering vote to either have it on January 2013 or after CNY 2013.

Dear all,

Went to proton showroom today to ask whether is there any discount for preve. The SA told me rm2000. Is it ok? Btw my location is in Kuching.

Anyway, the preve test drive unit there has gone through the ecu/tcu update. Very obvious difference. A lot more responsive compared to when i tested previously. Thumbs up!

2k discount is from Proton itself.
The dealer doesn't give you any extra discount?

or you could try and push the SAs harder for discounts. anything from an additional 1-3k(total up to 5k) is possible biggrin.gif

SA usually given around 1.5k margin only, no way they gonna give u more than that.
Perhaps those who offering 5k in KL, throw all the bank handling fee, dealer margin in order to fulfill the minimum order/target set by Proton Edar.

An insider news, Preve GPS map update shall be available shortly.
Not sure of the availability date yet but it is on the way.

Apparently no cost involve yet as mentioned.
Pre-requiste for a dealer to perform the GPS map update is to have a Windows 7 PC + microSD card reader.

So it will come soon.
It shall be available at all Proton Edar service dealers.

Preve CFE is a must more heavier car, more powerful car than Iswara Aeroback.
If Preve CFE can achieve the similar FC, isn't that already consider very good?

They share the same chassis number.
Just that Executive is not made as many as CFE.

Most of the Preve made is CFE, not executive model.
CFE does have more stock than Executive in the market.

I do have better FC though.....
Perhaps give a few tank to really integrate into your car?

And ya, make sure they flash the correct TCU version for your vehicle. There are reported that Saga FLX SE TCU being flashed into Preve b4.
It caused Preve to loose power on 120km/h and above, the car simply won't accelerate.

A simple ECU/TCU mapping will do.
