Still in the midst of testing the brakes but I think the sound you are referring to is only under harder than normal braking and coming from the back, correct?

The brake pads rust pitting is also present in the rear discs although SC will only change the front disc under warranty. Your mileage is still low?
*
Not quite sure where the sound came from. But i heard guk guk guk when driving downhill. Just sometimes, not often.
Yeah. My mileage only 220KM now. Still low

Think the longer you run in the car, the sound will go off. Only when the steering judders or brake giving screeching noise when you press the brake pedal..then you should be alarmed.

hopefully. so that means its normal? but i will still strengthen the brake when doing coming 1000KM service later. Thanks buddy

The sound will go off after 1000km. What do you mean strengthen the brake? Brake hard? After 300km you can start to try cooking the brakes. Take note the Preve brakes are progressive instead of sudden initial very strong bite till with abs chatter.

i mean stremgthen this brake issue while servicing car later. wat u mean cooking the brake? blink.gif

myself and my friend went to a spare part dealer. he told me that the cheapest and easiest to have spare parts, based on the 5 brands that we gave to him as below.

1) Toyota
2) Perodua
3) Kia (Forte only, others not applicable)
4) Honda
5) Proton

He told me that Proton Saga demands are quite good, since it's cheap. But the rest of the car the spare parts demand so-so. Same to Kia Forte. Only Forte demand is huge, compare to other Kia models.
Wow, i hope all the probs you listed above are solved for good during the 1k-10k service. start-stop button and disk brake quite a concern.

anyhow, 15L per 100km. It's really makan minyak for a 1.6L car huh? Around RM80 for 300km. my gawd. I didn't know the turbo one makan minyak like this. So I can't start to imagine 21L/100km
*
yes. my preve CFE full tank only can run 320km. Sigh.

Had my preve for 3 days and the problem i found until now is

1) My average speed on digital meter reading is only 25km/h no matter how fast I drive..
2) braking with helicopter sound
3) tuk tuk sound on the rear side.

Is there any solution for the problem? ?

You are correct, so please just wear your seat-belt whenever you are driving, no matter 5 minutes or 5 hours.
It wasn't really that hard just to put on seat-belt what...

What was your gear position when you park? It was mentioned before that you cannot engage R too fast or the engine will die off. This is normal. I think in the future, you need to put the gear to N 1st then to R to prevent engine from dying off.

i dont get u here. " put to N 1st then to R to prevent engine from dying off "

my condition is like this, i stop on uphill and i put N with handbrake up while waiting for traffic light. before i start moving, i edi switch to D still with handbrake on, after release handbrake, my car still roll downhill.
