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

my preve never happen this issue...i switch fast fast also no die engine blink.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...

Syntium 1000 15W50? That oil is too thick. Proton recommends 10W30. So it is better to use Syntium 800 10W30 semi compared to Syntium 1000 fully.

As a guide, use xW30 or xW40, either fully or semi. Personally I am using Syntium 5000 0W30 fully. 10,000km OCI (oil change interval)
*
wah.use syntium 5000 drool.gif ...me nxt service will use syntium 3000,buy already..sc dont have this grade of fully oil,they only have syntium 1000 fully
so sendiri buy EO go lor

Mine is 23xxx, Yes it 2012 model! The problem i facing is only:

- Braking helicopter sound (solve after changing disc rotor)
- Sluggish pickup (solve after ecu/tcu update)
- The rear door behind driver seat cant open from inside (solve after changing the latch)

The problem i have now is sometimes it crank for few second before it start but die of awhile after it started. I have this problem after changed to Petronas Fully Synthetic 10w 50. I swear will not ever use Petronas engine oil anymore as it really increase fc and sluggishness. I will buy my previous own engine oil on next service. Anyway my mileage is 7.5k. Hope this will help. cool2.gif

Actually what i wanted to ask is, how to make them to replace the disk brake rather than skimming ?

I wouldnt want them to skim because i just got the car last week, so that means the disc already warped before the car is given to me (manufacturing defect)...

go inside the service bay to look at ur car when they doing service lor,just say u want to take something in ur car...they will allow u in...after u in,u just wak around ur car,no body will notice u lor d

wind up the window manually and hold the up button for 10 sec(forget how many sec)...it will recalibrate the window auto up&down setting
