guess all of Preve owners also having this problem...no solution from Proton...Mat79 did explain something about this CVT issue, but since I tried with Inspira CVT without any problem, I just thought that Preve can have a workaround to solve this issue...

feel disappointed, some other problems starting to come out after few months, mainly noise problem which I think can DIY..the only thing I reluctant to accept is this engine die off when shifting from D<->R ... sad.gif

this is normal...
however, according to drex chan, an outside experience mechanic, probably u can make the battery sign disappear before starting engine by unscrew and screw back the battery terminal's screw...

When I drive my Vios, actually the fit and finish seems more quality. At least don't have any sound, moving parts, rattling issues..

I don't know how long Proton needed to learn that.. Kia and Hyundai done it.

Gratz! rclxms.gif

Kia forte sound insulation sucks compare to preve. I did drive drive cause my collic like forte. After the test drive, he prefer preve lol. Forte interior quality is better but fitting is not that good for me experience. The paddle shifter tak tak sound so loud when shifting. lol

not sure if there's an effective solution. anyone?

trust me it will get louder soon tongue.gif. hopefully it will not go as loud as my father's 15 y.o unser.. but judging by how bad the rattling is progressing, might even achieve it in a year shakehead.gif

Congratulations for v18 and thanks Mr. Arthur for maintaining it! rclxms.gif

Recently quite unhappy with my Preve... sad.gif

Dashboard and the "wood panel" noise solved by DIY.

Audio control buttons on steering wheel making noise when driving through bumpy road, unable to solve...

I heard a strange noise don't know coming from where, gearbox or what I don't know, I also can't predict when the noise will come again. It is like gear and gear grinding each other, about 1-2 seconds when I accelerate. Only happen once in a while (maybe once every 3-5 days?).

This happened only once, whenever I accelerate over 2000rpm, I heard scary sound I think it was came from the gearbox. I immediately pullover to the side, shift to N, wait a few second, shift back to D and I never hear it again.

________________________________________________________________________

From my observation since first day driving this car, I feel I've experienced 3 different versions of CVT software settings.
  • First setting was the infamous "sluggish" type.
  • On my 10K service, SC mentioned they flushed with new ECU/TCU (I requested). I like this setting. Very powerful! Very suitable to my taste and FC was good for my city driving style. I notice 2000rpm at 80km/h.
  • On 20K service, another SC flushed with another ECU/TCU (not my request, but they told me their system stated must do it), this setting worse than second setting, although it is better than initial "sluggish" setting, but is less powerful than second setting and the FC also worse than second setting. Slowing-down-jerking then CVT gearbox makes knocking sound almost like the first setting. It noticed 2000rpm at 90km/h.
