Anyone done this? I am interested too.
Since our Preve is heavy, this will help a lot in braking. I called the company in sunway and he said need to make appt.
The work duration is about 2 hours and the damage is RM480.00 for 6 pieces.

I don't think it can be 100% flat. some how, it is still bloated up a bit..just a bit.. not like last time..

I also noticed my wife toyota rush also have a bit...I don't think they can do it till un-noticeable. Please correct me if i salah... biggrin.gif

Standard brake hoses are good enough unless you

a) have been using them for 5 years or 200k km and even then would still be good. They're not just any rubber hose. Cut an  old hose and see. Check the internet for expansion rates for new hoses against braided.
b) tend to go more than 5 laps around  SIC without a break
c) they' re leaking

Braided hoses will
a) void your warranty
b) tend to leak
c) cause brake failure if not routed properly
d) show real difference on bikes where you only use 1 or 2 fingers to brake. You are using your foot

You're better of regularly changing your brake fluid, using Dot 4 above and upgrading to pads 600 degrees above

what catching my eyes on the video is not the hoses..
the rims ~~!! wow nice rims manz1~~~~!!!!! thumbup.gif

Find other good SC next time. Sometimes, not because of potong problem, but SC problem. Every brand of car also having this problem. Once you found the right SC, your car will be good as others too.

2 days ++ still ok right since i ask them repaint my front bumper tooo..haha

plus FYI that SC is the best SC in Kedah..if other SC cant solve the problem..they all will refer to this SC..
sometimes i play ping pong with my fren while waitng the recepitionist...haha laugh.gif they provide ping pong table + ping pong bats + ball...

EON Service Center Alor Setar Kedah. laugh.gif

if compare to service waiting time...in my experience protong or perodua both same...
only P2 provide delicious nescafe and milo..Eon SC provide ping pong intertainment..(and mineral water)

for CFE, got ppl say it is linux coded... impossible to replace the GPS software inside... unless u change the headunit

even the HU is Bosch...i feel it very sucks...why not cap ayam HU like Myvi 1.5 HU...screen more clear...touch screen more accurate...and GPS is very friendly too..
i believe Bosch in Drilling Machine, car battery..first time use bosh HU...maybe proton tk the lowest model of bosch hu?

i rarely use the preve cfe GPS becoz it make me dizzly..just wait for my extra money..later on sure i will sold this HU...i wanna new superb HU..

My new colleague wiyh Myvi SE 1.5 HU always late for appointment. Orang Jementah baru mula kerja kat KL. After 1 year he now know alot of roads because always sesat jalan. My Exora GPS I keep at home. Handphone GPS still better especially with data line. Waze is the best but makan bateri. You know where got jam and speed trap etc. Have to plug phone into charger all the time.

i dont know about ur colleague..mybe he dont familiar with the setting?...but last time using those myvi 1.5 extreme HU (same with 1.5 SE right)..it is very easy to use..using on KL, MAlaka, and Ipoh..very accurate..and the voice is very clear unlike current GPS in preve..

i just got called from SC..my car completely repaired..as he said so..i will go take in 30 minutes from now..yea yea yawn.gif rclxm9.gif (3 days only left in SC) thumbup.gif

I've sat shotgun in the car before. Try to fiddle with the settings. Problem not the voice. Issue is the routing and where exactly you are when the turn is coming up. I also used the external gps given with my exora.

After trying both, I give up on Lockatoo.
*
Haha like tht ka..tht shotgun u ride already up tp date or not? Last time tht shotgun gps serve me very well.and yes the version is latest on...i can say much more convenience gps ever used by me.my brother portable proton gps tht comes with his persona also cant beat it up...i still love lock_a_tok.very kacang one. I think different gps type suit different type of people.

btw just recieve my cfe this evening.found out they remap my ecu..yes i can feel the improvement..just hope it doesnt affect the fuel consumption significantly..plus need to reset my fav radio channeel and clock setting too.

how you know they remap your ecu?
*
it just my assumption. haha i maybe wrong.

first - improvement of my car pickup - very significant
second - all my HU setting reset to factory setting
third - i actually ask them to reset for me last time, but they said the device is not available that time. maybe while my car left in that SC they got thier device back to reset the ECU

or say my assumption not correct, if the ECU not remap? is this possible all these improvement comes after they replace the things that related to my car OVW problem?
btw i satisfied with my car pickup right now... thumbup.gif

I guess you're right, the pickup improvement is significant, definitely its due to ECU remapping. When you drove your car with latest ECU, you'll feels like totally different car (1 dull and delay car, 1 responsive and powerful car)

However, for my case, after my Preve gone through the remapping process, my HU setting still remain, nothing was reset... hmm.gif

ohh...like that car..haha...dont know la..why ya me like that? maybe they reset then remap? my last car Proton Gen 2 need to reset all radio and clock too after reset the ECU..
