Puchong SC.. they will do only when u ask for it.. even when ur car chassis number is affected (based on service bulletin)  rclxub.gif
done serviced my abby for 10k yesterday... things that i complained: -
1. seat "krekk krekk" at backrest - they only apply grease, summore saying that other preve also the same..
2. RH wiper touching body frame - adjusted.
3. headlamp settings - adjusted
4. power window switch sometimes malfunction on driver power window only - they only reaffix the socket only, last time reaffix socket still the same..
5. air-cond whistling sound when in medium speed - they say campro engine air-cond will always got that whistling sound??? do nothing..

forgot about the ECU remapping until 1 hour later then telling him to do it.. if not, they simply just keep quiet only..  rclxub.gif

3. headlamp settings??..what is that??

Opps, I also having the same the right wiper touching the frame but I did not mention it...i though is normal  cry.gif

Do your power window got "glu glu glu" sound when pressing down during the hot day? SC just applied grease but they mentioned if happen again they will change the part. Today afternoon, tried the power window still having "glu glu glu" sound. Do you guys also having the same sound??

I did the ECU/TCU remapping this morning at COSE, very fast about 1 hour settled. So far cannot comment much, just feel the POWER like inspira, very responsive...have to adapt the new settings again.  rclxub.gif

the power window "glu glu" sound cannot be solved by just applying grease or watever crap..they need to disemble the whole door panel and adjust something or change something...i manage to solved mine in cose last week..saw them taking off the whole door panel..now working like charm..last time asked around in forum and the only answer i got is apply silicone spray..which is bullshit..

seriously..what's the big fuss about having leather seat..few days ago, my neighbour asked me what seat material is preve using, i told him fabric..and he pointed his merc leather seat and told me it's cracking..

yea..leather seat is classy..but do you think its easy to maintain? rolleyes.gif

and not to bad-mouth almera, but when i sit in it, the dashboard feels so plasticky..and the interior is nothing to shout about..only the exterior probably look nicer than dugong vios

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.

regarding the radio reception...i have the same problem too..can hear static noise most of the time..and yes..it happened mostly during driving time...already asked around here last time..some members got the same problem too..not sure what is the solution though..if you found the solution..let me know..im abit annoyed with it too

I hear that the GPS & radio shares the same antennae. Could be that which is causing poor radio reception.
I think you should head on over to the nearest SC asap.

does every preve owner experience it?..if thats the case..then all cfe preve owner will hav this problem right?

i trust the mechanic, neat and patient...he did take out the HU, then only find out its only the antenna loose...(even though i check its ady very tight. sweat.gif )

after u install reverse cam, touchwood if anything happen to ur HU, u can always ask the mechanic who install the reverse cam for u to take the reverse cam out and then go claim warranty ma... whistling.gif

perhaps i should ask the accesories guy that install the reverse cam to check on the antenna of the radio too..

i hav to admit proton cars kena the most..lol

but also we hav to understand how the japanese build up their reputation since long ago...in the early days..their cars also sucks like sh!t...but they gradually improve on its quality until it gives the people an impression that they are very reliable, hence there are so many hardcore japanese car supporters nows...but i think their technology on cars is kinda stagnant for quite some time which lead to other cars manufacturer catching up/overtook, especially the koreans

fuel consumption is more or less the same for me after the ECU & TCU upgrade..still need to observe few more weeks though..but i think the fc will be lesser la especially in city drive as just a slight tap on the gas paddle will already move the car..unlike before

as for high speed..i think it's still easily reachable like before..able to do 190km/h with ~5k rpm..somemore havent fully step on the paddle yet

I was there on Monday and I have to agree with you that Glenmarie SC is a little bit slow. Sent my car in for the 1st 1k service, plus to check a few things. I had it sent it first thing in the morning at 8am and got my car back at 5:30. Only few complaints, alignment off, steering wheel vibrates when driving at 120km/h, ecu & tcu update, radio reception not good, front rh door trim got rattling sound when heavy bass, high speed braking got helicopter sound and rear lh outer tail lamp got defect. Order in progress for both front disc and the tail lamp  rclxms.gif 

Managed to solved most of time except the radio reception and alignment, steering tilting to the right when going straight. Had it adjusted today. Now perfect.
Luckily I still managed to get Preve haha.
You waited there ah? Yesterday got open? Wasn't it the Sultan birthday yesterday?

u managed to solve the radio reception problem yet?

i hate the silicon spray. They spray a lot in COSE but after a few days the sound come back. The excess silicon also blur up my driver windows everytime i roll down and up.  doh.gif

The second complaint on these windows sound, then only they called the vendor come. At last, solved the window problem.

More than a decade ago, I help my friend "clean" this kind of water mark on his old Wira, we use rubbing compound (from hardware shop or paint shop) to rub off those water marks.  smile.gif
Not sure if the mark were the same like yours? Maybe you can try.  nod.gif

oh...what kind of compound is that?..any specific brand?..how do you "rub" it?...the watermark on my windscreen is something like in the pic below..not sure it can be so easily rub/wipe off hmm.gif
