Hi all,

Just to my preve ifam auto exec solid white.

Today's the 5th day driving mileage just reach 112km, pump a full tank, notice when braking, doesn't matter fast speed or at 60km/hr there's this duk duk sound! What's wrong?? Then the engine feels really sluggish, unresponsive like not moving, have to press the pedal deep to get response and the engine will whine and roar then the car will jerk a little then move.

Engine noise pretty loud n harsh. Izzit supposed to be like that??

Then the 3rd thing I realized is the fuel indicated, showing 13.8L/100km!! WTF?? I pumped full petrol when left 1 bar costs RM72 n then I changed the indicator to show the mileage. At first it shows 591km then when start moving, stop by few traffic lights, look at the indicator again and it kept on decreasing until almost 510km left! Is this normal?? Someone help!!

hi,
1) about the car responsiveness maybe u should not compare between drive by cable and drive by wire.. maybe the ecu and tcu update will reduce the lag..
2) engine noise compare with which car.. nissan? toyota? .. i think preve engine noise is acceptable during slow driving.. but when highway driving i think the noise is ok...
3) preve estimated mileage... driving from highway cruising at 110kph (long journey) to traffic jam, the estimated mileage will reduce kaw kaw.. but when drive from traffic jam to highway cruising the estimated mileage will maintain (not reduce) or sometimes increase the estimated mileage until reach some point..

my advise dont forget to service at 1000km..

light bulb burnt, hmm what can cause that?
mine till now, touch wood, still ok. next month 1y.o.
i didn't do engine wash, no modification to the wiring, no change of bulb.

*
mine no wash engine, no wiring mods, yet still burnt the bulb twice...
got VS installed on your car or not?
or any grounding cable?
or anything else like new battery?

the squeaky noise from 'inside' the rear passenger panel is getting worst.. anyone experienced in fixing this?
its not the trunk metal rods, speaker mounting or rear brake light already checked those
*
how it sound like tik, tik, tik (no solution yet (maybe))
or very obvious sound metal touching (try to wrap tape around the rear seat hook)

im very sure its not the seat hook, i tried driving with both rear seats down and it still makes the noise..

its like a a very sharp sound of two plastic body rubbing against each other, coming from 'inside' the rear left plastic panel.. cant trace the source

have you try to put rubber (or any thing else) between the rear window screen and the rear dash board until fully tight...

Hi guys. where is actually the correct way for windscreen washwater to go into the plastic wiper cover? I sent my car for soundproof on the upper dashboad and they wrongly assembled my washwater hose as shown in the picture.

Where is the original entrance for this hose actually? since the hose now is being "kepit" like that, very small volume of water is going out when i need to clean my windscreen.

Thanks man. 200km/h is quite fast. Hope I can get to 1000km as soon as possible so as I can't test the car to the limit.

It is good that the Preve Turbo can achieve a top speed of 210km/h as most 1.6-litre sedans(non-Turbo) usually hit the plateau at around 185-190km/h. The engine sound of the Preve Turbo must be very loud when approaching 200km/h. When I did 196km/h top speed in my Waja 11 years ago, the sound of the engine feels like it is going to explode or something.

Is the engine of the Preve Turbo bearable when cruising at 150km/h?
*
140km/h at 3k rpm
150km/h should be no problem

Hi, sorry to disturb. as i just got my Preve and i found some funny things and come online and check.
as here you are talking about the centrol door lock.  would like to clarify that
1) under the Child Protection lock is FREE,  if central locking is applied, passengers in rear seats still can open the door by pulling the inside handle twice
2) under the Child Protection lock is LOCK, no matter central lock is lock or unlock, read seats passengers can't open the door; there must be someone who open the door from outside.

Any one can verify my statement is correct or wrong? or something wrong with my preve?

for my situation, i got kids always will sit in rear seats.  but once a while got adults passengers will sit rear seats. now i feel confused, which mood i should apply... if i set child protection lock is LOCK, then i need to open the door for rear passengers always. if i set Child protection lock is FREE, when i only drive my kids, i worry about they play with door handles also....

according to my proton sales agent, he said those high end car like BMW got such locking system.... but i used to drive those old fashion car, i guess will take time to get used to it...
*
nothing wrong here..

but last time i heard, when pull driver door handle once will unlock all doors and open driver door at the same time....
but not in my car.. how about you all?
