Talking about VS, I plan to install the one i had from my previous car. The positive terminal has a red cap covering it. Do you guys cut a hole on the red cap so that the cable from the VS can go through?

Regarding DRL, maybe can do some modification to the wiring on our sedan? Haha. tongue.gif I saw a preve owned by a guy around my neighbourhood had his headlamp LED on during daytime. I thought he purposely switch it on but when I drove pass him and look at his tail lamp, it's not lighted up! Duno he cun cun off it or not when I take a look behind. lol. He has aftermarket drl on his bumper as well.

No choice lo. That guy probably don't care. Lol. I also want to mod my car but sometimes worry here and there about warranty. In the end, the mod bug too overwhelming edi. Haha.

the p3-22a reportedly is going to have remapped ecu and tcu and the cvt is allegedly quieter.

anybody knows whether the remap is going to be conveyed to the sedan as well?
*
I'm really interested in this as well. Especially the quieter cvt part. Previous remap on my preve did improve on the cvt noise. Hope the latest one improves it even more. biggrin.gif

Can Proton tweak the ECU fo the Preve Turbo during first service so as the sound from the Turbo engine and the CVT gear is softer? Currently I find the Turbo engine and CVT gear sound during acceleration to be quite noisy and loud.

Thanks.

Recently I sat in my boss' waja 1.8. I find the engine sound is quite quiet and refined. I suppose NA engine is much quieter than turbo engine. Also, someone commented that Peugeot 408 turbo engine sound is louder than its NA counterpart.

Attended Suprima S launching while waiting for my car's power window to be fixed (change coil spring & motor since i heard someone said there is a recall for coil spring). Buffet provided as well. Great day at the SC. lol. Get to play Suprima's HU a bit. Android ftw though touchscreen is not capacitive type.

I guess so. The resolution looks good. Did not try youtube though. Maybe next time since I'm going back again for test drive. No time just now. Overall impression much better than in the photos. biggrin.gif

Warranty claims can be done on weekends?  hmm.gif
*
Haha. Actually the customer service staff said weekends only for servicing. I told her that I can only make it on Saturday. So she suggested that I make an appointment at the earliest time which is 8am. I agreed although I arrived late (cannot wake up on time tongue.gif). Actually this is not my first time doing warranty claims on weekend. Done it before previously. lol. Fyi, my location is in Kuching, Sarawak.

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated. Interesting. I didn't experience this engine braking with the Nissan Sylphy though.
*
My friend's facelifted Altis with cvt also has engine braking feature. Both of us were clueless when he told me that while he drove down a hill slope, his rpm shoot up high without any throttle input. After i learnt about engine braking in this preve thread, everything becomes clear. Lol.
