Can anyone tell me what is the current or latest update version for the HU?
The SA who attended to me at Proton Edar service center Puchong told me they have updated my HU but I don't know what is the latest and what does it improve on... BTW, I have updated to the latest ECU and TCU and so far the impression on my day to day driving experience has been great i.e. good pick up from stationary, no jerking at low speed and can increase speed up to 170 with ease (ran out of road on a short sprint). So far so good. |

QUOTE(BartS @ Nov 25 2012, 12:09 AM) Yes, absolutely. They have also ordered 2 warranty parts for me, gave me a written note too, the left side mirror and a black vertical strip for my right rear window, the current piece is loose and a bit sliding. Both are no big deal matters, just something nice to get them fixed. Would not be able to comment about the FC though, will not be driving my red preve for maybe another 2 to 3 months.... going to really miss the thrill of driving it, even without any update. |

QUOTE(kongyw @ Nov 25 2012, 12:39 AM) I'm not sure about the FC either. Haven't been outside of my taman since the remap. Looking at the 'instant' FC meter, it does look thirstier. Despite some reports of the engine being quieter after the remap, I think my engine growls a bit more after the remap. Is your's the same? Or is it just me being more aggressive on the pedal? |

QUOTE(arthur88 @ Nov 24 2012, 06:00 PM) Don't say it! QUOTE(redflame @ Nov 24 2012, 06:51 PM) There's nothing irrelevant about your post there, bro mat79. Bro mat79 give us those info, and we do our part to spread this info to our friends and relatives. People should know what is actually going on about this compatibility and homogolation stuff... They should be educated and stop looking at Proton as just cutting cost or whatever for no apparent reason... Other manufacturer are doing it to and they are blinded because of the brand names...it's ok for others to do it, but a big issue when Proton does it too... They should be educated that it's not the end of the world if certain criteria or rules are imposed for different countries/region on how the cars are supposed to be set-up for their condition or driving needs... QUOTE(Gigabit @ Nov 24 2012, 07:02 PM) Far from irrelevant, Proton have gone leaps and bound in terms of build quality and meeting global standards...to say that it is milo tin is just irresponsible. There are some Proton owners ranting their own ride, but I believe they were influenced by friends, colleagues and relatives. It could be their faith and confidence not strong enough (yet). I think we Malaysians put too much emphasis on brand. QUOTE(ben3003 @ Nov 24 2012, 07:31 PM) anyone preve have very loud wok wok wok sound from the back? just now i seat at rear passenger seat when my dad fetch me back.. fuk i wan go fucuk SC again.. wat kind of shit is this sound.. sound like the bearing is giving way.. when drive faster it sound faster, when drive slower go slower..and not soft at all.. fuking loud.. Have you done your wheel alignment or check tyre pressure lately? I'm afraid what you heard was tyre noise?QUOTE(mat79 @ Nov 24 2012, 07:45 PM) tqvm for the support. Pretty hard to change malaysian perception heh...like when saga blm@even current flx doesnt have autolock function, many cursing as prtn want to cut costlah, how much for thatlah kedekut punya prtn, viva pun adalah, apalah prtn n etc. Could all these homologation thingy were to protect EU countries' automotive industry? But when buying 100k++ so call global car dont have autolock function. Xper maa, its ncap requirement :-), no need autolock, dangerous ...and when one local manufacturer which principle is foreign co omit the autolock function, as usual, now jpj safety rules coz to comply, as usual, ncap :-)....nobody comply with ncap, but comply with the safety standards as mentioned b4. But just comply on certain safety equipments needed (not safety standards) that can gain more stars than previous test. Even though i nearly lost my touch with prtn, but sharing the info with prtn owners are really needed n i think its part of my responsibility. Atleast the buyer know what they r paying for, what they get n the price being paid, is it worth it or not, why some parts are expensive n some not n etc. Part produced based on conforming all homogolation really pricey, thats why many conti's parts are pricier, not only becoz import tax coz being cbu, but due to its cost. Know u know why :-) But then the probs is when the price of part is expensive, but not really conform with these 4 main standards on safety.

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! |

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. |

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.

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.-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.

If RH inner reflector have no such issue, go and claim the warranty. This post has been edited by allenultra: Nov 25 2012, 11:18 AM |

I am experiencing very loud noise on my CVT3 gearbox now. Sounds like a strong wind gushing through a small window gap(ghost sound), but abit more mechanical rough sound, like electric motor ? 6000KM into my car and i had never notice the sound before, its a new sound. Its even louder when i am braking to a stop to 0 km/h, the rpm will stuck at 1.2-1.3k with the sound until i reach nearly to a complete stop, then the sound die off after the clutch is engage.
I fetch a client after that, embarrassing as the guy commented on my car, what a loud new vehicle. Its not CVT whining sound, damn what is happening. |
