You can do any service centre, for the rusty parts

CVT whine sound is the gearbox design, nothing can be done unless you add sound insulation to the gearbox itself.

Your comments are valuable and should be shared with all members here.

Do you know the material of disc brakes make of? Is it ceramic?
It isn't ceramic, it usually made of grey iron. It is prone to corrosion, or in your term - RUST.
Have a good read over here for your own knowledge, you will benefit from it.

Rust will take time to form, so how long was the Viva you inspected have exposed to wet condition as compared to the Preve? You have no idea don't you?
Will the Viva disc brake rust?

Again, you think that Preve use high performance brakes? Seriously what make you think so that a normal sedan use high performance parts and sell at reasonable price?
VW Golf TSI uses brembo disc brake? Just wonder.

Rusty exhaust holder is a known issue and Proton has addressed to all dealers to provide measurement to overcome this matter.
I have seen Unser where the rust issue was horrible, the whole floor panel rust and it isn't just one unit. Seriously Unser that reliable to you? It was mean to be a goods carrier but Malaysians treated it as a MPV.


Oh ya, for your information where I obtained from Brembo brakes website, their disc brakes are made of high carbon iron. Iron with high carbon content usually are higher in tensile strength compared to iron with low carbon content, FYI.



Anyway, thanks for dropping by and amuse us. You did a great job.

Reverse camera can be installed for less than RM200, if you know where to find.
Leather seats? No comment.

FC? It think it will be too soon to discuss about that now, most of the owners flashed to latest ECU/TCU previous week, it will take sometime for the gearbox to re-learn the driving pattern, in few weeks time u shall see more info in this.

arthur88, it was a night before public holiday, else I won't be bother to reply him.

Again, I'm not feeding the troll, just give him some explanation. If this fella still come back with more ridiculous reply, he will just show how naive he is.

5000? take it.
Proton gives RM2k, I dun remember margin is more than 3k, they almost earn zero even after add in the handling fee.

If that the case, take the car then.

Somehow, not many dealers than I know that doing below 20 units per month.
He certainly is desperate.

Totally agreed with you. Preve CFE especially is a lousy car, the turbochargers hardly work. It just for cosmetic purpose, actually CFE power output is just the same as IAFM+ variant.

There are people who have done that. Tap the LED wire to any components that gonna run once the engine ignites.
Eg aircond compressor.

Had a trip to Sauk - Kuala Kangsar few hours ago for a dinner.
Had bad experience with Preve on the highway, the car hardly above to accelerate from 110km/h up to 150km/h....

Very much unlike what I had with the OLD ecu.
Hopefully its because of new ECU/TCU still learning my driving habit coz this is my first trip with more than 110km/h after the ECU/TCU mapping

You should go. The feedback is good.
Perhaps TCU/ECU need to time to relearn everything.....
I'm still getting pretty bad FC....but pickup is much better than before.

Pickup and RPM stable are stable, but not the top end performance. I never feel struggle to accelerate a Preve from 110km/h to 150km/h, and that's on a flat surface.


FC equally bad still.
13l/100km for city driving.

Still too early to judge the ECU/TCU mapping performance, its not even first tank after the remap, as I dun trust the average fuel consumption on the SID, will only use fuelly stat.

Actually the correct procedure is, whoever read and receive the email, will print out and show everyone. Brief technician and SA.


For my previous post, it was typo. I struggle to accelerate from 110km to 150km/h, flat surface. The engine roar like mad, like Vios....sigh
Perhaps my car still very much virgin if with 4k mileage, since all the 4k are done within city. Hardly speed above 120km/h



Hey guys, tried the engine mounting mod with fuel line. Effective DIY mod, cheap and easy.

edwans, low speed sluggish is normal. DSG/Wet Clutch CVT, common issues. You are not alone.

Its a heavy car, perhaps after 5000km service, things will get better. I'm getting 13l/100km for full city driving.....

My mileage still very low, around 4k.
Hills? not really. Involves all sort of short distance travel, hardly a trip more than 5km.

metaled and ben3003,

Please refer to this guide below.

Preve Engine Mounting Mod

Credit to Lim Eu Bian for preparing the slides.
This mount can be done to many cars, as long as you can slip the fuel inside in between the gap.

Do google for the address and phone number, all the best bro in making an appointment for new ECU/TCU/Radio mapping

Read the first post of this thread. It's possible to go up genting even under drastic condition.

Just have to know when to engage or not to engage any gears. Common for most cvt gearbox, not just preve

What insurance of your car with?

If the damage is very serious, might well move the car into any nearby Proton Edar body & paint centre for repair, perhaps can ask for total lost.
As you mentioned the damage was terrible.

A simple 4 angle photos, I will be able to suggest you whether the car can total lost or not.
5-year-old Saga, I assume is LMST version?
BLM only available at year 2008 if I remember.

Which insurance company you with?

To me, just a normal accident though. Market value 12k.
If send to Proton Edar for repair, might get all original parts equip with.
