hello everyone, i'm a first batch CFE owner and a very very silent reader of the preve tread since april 2012, had my OWV changed twice, side mirror once, and I still can't or don't know how to use the GPS system (i don't think it's working as it should). I regretted not doing the Sierra Glow when I first got the car, cos I don't have the money for that since all my savings went to the d/p for the car, i'm tempted to change my rims and trying to keep my faith in the preve that it is the best proton car yet...

there are a few things i'd like to ask, if anyone could help it would be great.

1) Is Section 13 SC still in operation? if so, I will need to call in advance before sending my car in for service, right? Can anyone share the contact number please? I've been sending my car to Setapak SC since day 1, and it's time to try other places.

2) There's something wrong with my reverse sensor alarm aka sound, everytime i reverse it's only doing "teeeeeeeeeet" like something is really really near, instead of doing "teet" "teet" "teeet" "teeeeeet" "teeeeeeeeeeeeet" as I'm reversing closer to the wall. Anyone got the same problem?

3) Is it just me, or the audio speakers suck? I had better speakers in my wira last time. I can't turn it up loud enough to play my music without the speakers sounding like the no-brand cikai cheap speakers. With that said, if I change / uprade all my speakers, will my warranty void?

I hope someone can help me with these.

Thanks
*
i think all preve's reverse sensor is like that, u need to brake a few times for the brake from teeeeetttt to become teet...teett....
speaker in preve is sucks

i'm curious, since which version u started reading? these problems are mentioned a few times...

btw, in my opinion, not worth to get SG, its overrated...regret spending fuel and 700 on it...

yeah i got alot of those stains also... park outdoors under tree. and some bird poo stains... sometimes no time to go wash immediately, had to wait 2-3 days to wash car... and the mark stays...
sighhhhhh  cry.gif

for this, even SG wont protect ur car's paint...my car is 24/7 park outside, no roof, if rains, the water mark will stay on my car, at weekend wash it, wont go away...all these after apply SG also cannot get rid of the water mark...so, think carefully before u waste 700 and fuel to go do SG...

Morning every fellows! tongue.gif
After ECU update, i feel like my FC quite okay. exact half tank = half bar can go up to 232KM.
which you calculate like this : half tank ( RM42/232KM = RM0.18 )
*
then u will notice at last bar, it goes empty quite fast...first bar is not accurate..cannot measure like that...

Bros, especially the first batch owners, i went to service my car 20k last week at Edar and the SA told me need to fix 4 things for my car, one of which is to "change terminal of driver side airbag".
When i so very angry and push the SA further, i got the most shocking answer. Anyone know this airbag issue?
*
what answer u got?
airbag harness izzit?

Bro, i know proton standard. I have driven wira for 7 yrs before Preve. I know their QC and i have mentioned in my post about willing to take the risk as first batch buyer.
What i am not satisfied is there was no notification to me that they need to fix safety issue on my car, until I go for my routine service. I believe safety related issue should be handled ASAP. And when i actually asked the SA, they still trying to tell me that the airbag is OK, just need to fix the wiring (many times repeating). Only when i ask them "if OK then wat is the use if not deploy during collision?" Then they silent.
I appreciate u guys sharing service bulletin from proton in Prevoc forum/FB. But i should not have to rely on public/car enthusiast forums to know a recall campaign on my car right?
Or maybe like bro Gigabit said, proton care about their reputation too much? Feel this issue is small issue?
Anyway, i dont want to talk up this issue further and lets put a rest to it. Cheers.
*
then u should add one more, besides QC, service also sucks...so u should change ur mind about proton service...no more relying on them to inform u about service buletin, rely on our taiko allenultra better...faster and accurate info...

why dun wan take the easy way while others have pointed u to?

Arthur have to link with Prevoc Forum. Or just dump all info in Prevoc Forum BB.

FB search and file is still spinning my head.  But then discussion in lyn will be limited. Important info scattered in PREVOC Forum,  FB & LYN

15 version in LYN later and thousands of pages later, sure got
a) new owner
b) 1st car owner
c) owners who have not fully read the manual
d) people who have not read from V7 onwards
e) those not read PREVOC FORUM & FB
*
then u can contribute abit by finding those link in prevoc forum...then i would gladly put in first page...
