QUOTE(BartS @ Nov 21 2012, 04:17 PM)
My driver side power window motor was quite powerful when the car was new. Not long after that, I started getting the rubber 'ketat' symptom leading to 'klak klak' sound when winding the window midway up. That was easily fixed with a quick spray of silicon lube but motor is no longer as powerful as it once was. I can live with that so long as window 'janji' to go all the way up.
Bulletin did mention it only affects chassis numbers ranging from 274 to 11391. Then again, if the windows for the 2nd batch aren't misbehaving, why would anyone require to have that looked into? As for me, I'm not comfortable with the unnecessary stripping of my doors' trimmings.

Btw, car is indeed more responsive after ecu/tcu remap. Don't be expecting a huge improvement but the change is noticeable. I strongly recommend those that haven't done it yet to head towards the SC to make their appointments. The upgrade is free and it takes approximately an hour to do so. Did mine at SC Cheras behind Connaught.

who has done the ecu/tcu remap?
i got my car a month ago (now 3.3k mileage) and everything is ok on my end.
fuel consumption is about 8L/100km for town driving and can reach about 7L/100km.
for my top speed, i tried going 210km/h the other day going to ipoh racing with inspira 2.0P

im scared after update cant get back the same feeling..

I believe many has done but not have the chance to try the top speed. If I remember it correctly, Allen is coming to KL today. Maybe he did tested the new ECU/TCU setting's top speed.

thanks for clarification..lets see what other has to say on it.

I dun drive fast.....
Max also 150/160 only.
Preve isn't design to drive 200km/h constantly.

Just want to make sure 120-150km/h no issue with latest mapping, for those who following my post in prevoc FB, I have remapped ECU/TCU twice.

EA? Ya. Go get some racun behind heading back to Ipoh after dinner wink.gif

its not designed to drive at 200km/h constantly..
wow..remap twice dy..and u havent try the speed on the latest remap.
keep us posted on it..
the other day i was driving to JB and was able to get 6.8L/100km

First mapping, tried on highway, 120 to 150km/h, the car barely able to accelerate even at full throttle.

City driving experience is great somehow. Did mapping few days ago.
Tomorrow will have long stretch of 200km++ to test wink.gif

wow..the first remap sounds sluggish on highspeed
well hope you have a better tryout tomorrow.
do keep us posted as usual.. smile.gif

Please check the battery terminal whether it is properly tightened. Also please note that the car battery only is charged when the car is moving.

Been here at the Desa Tun Razak SC since 8.00 am, and my car is still being checked on what is the problem
They checked their system and found out that my car has been recalled for the sensor to be readjusted and power window to be lubricated.

ok guys, just to share with u guys

Proton SC at Desa Tun Razak checked on my car of the few things for the LOW BATTERY
-battery found to be weak (replaced it with a new one)
-wiring of the car (because i told them i tried to jump start and apparently they say better dont jump start the car cos loads of electronic circuits in the car can get burnt)

Extra
-re adjust the sensor
-lubricated the power window motor
-reflashed and remap ECU TCP

Experience after the service
-better pick (unknown fuel efficiency)
-car feels lighter

Ok fellow preve-ians
The update for my issue with my preve (after much making noise at the centre cos they didn't even touch my car for a good half day and only after complain to the SC manager only wana diagnose the problem)

Bad news for my car cry.gif
The gear leaver is stuck and they don't know what is the problem where they disassemble the whole gear leaver for manual release of gear only can move the car
After a while the gear leaver is stuck again and can shift or start the car
According to the technician there, the gear leaver is stuck which caused the car to refuse to start
But the funny thing is that it still shows low battery sign even thou I changed it 2 weeks ago (last breakdown)
Took 3 technician also can't figure out why is the problem
Have to wait for them to contact Proton Technical team to know what is wrong
My car will be at the SC at Section 13 till at least Monday to know what's wrong
It's their first time having such problem

Anyone experienced it before?

ok dear preve-ians..
got my preve back from the SC of Section 13
the manager was there to return my car and explain what was wrong with my car

after a few days of checking the gear leaver, wiring they found out that the fuse box was circuited
where the signals and power can go to the fuse box but couldnt come out to deliver the signals which leads of the Locking of the Gear Leaver, low battery sign on SID

the service manager was kind enough to follow up daily for me on the work progress rclxms.gif

so its a new experience for all and i hope next time we can learn frm here if there is any other preve-ian having such issue

cheers..

my car is back and it feels good!! icon_rolleyes.gif
