Thank you for the advices about the timing, guys. Really appreaciate it.

How about Preve MT owner? Any stories to share?

wah preve SE is coming next year april.. gooding yo.. can see what parts can be fitted..

Anyway, I don't think I can wait for April. it's like another 6 or 7 months. T_T

I appreciate your feedback. With this information now including myself we have 3 Preve Turbos with this knocking sound.

Previously I used Petronas Primax fuel and the knocking sound is quite apparent when accelerating at low to moderate speeds. Just recently I changed to Caltex and the knocking sound has reduced quite a bit. Not entirely diminished, as I can still hear some knocking but certainly not as loud as before with Petronas Primax.

Hopefully with this 2nd refill of Caltex fuel this weekend, the knocking sound will reduce even further or perhaps diminish completely. Wishful thinking. Surprisingly the Turbo engine is quite sensitive to the type of fuel that is used.

Since you are getting the knocking sound with Shell, guess that is out. I will try Caltex for 3-4 times before deciding whether to swap to BHP. If the knocking sound is completely gone with Caltex, it appears that I will have to stick with it for good.

yesterday i try my fren preve mt..a bit sluggish when start to move..other than ok i think..can not comment more since i oso test drive his car

i have not knocking issues with Shell 95...
Maybe it could be the ECU self learning and miscalculated?

that type of girl usually buy perodua car , last time when i was working at perodua quite a lot of that kind of girl .
young and cute

Not sure, though one thing is for sure is that I'll highlight this issue to Proton once my car is due for the 10,000km service. Will ask them to rectify it as well, if it is possible.

mine still around 2200km odo... maybe my car still new can't notice the knocking...
but my myvi 2007 have the knocking sound even though pump the same shell 95 too...

The knocking started after the 1st service at mileage 1,000km. Now my vehicle is approaching 5,000km and the knocking is still there albeit much reduced now. Don't know if it's due to the type of petrol (Caltex) or something else.

It is good that your vehicle does not exhibit knocking.

just curious to know. what does this knocking sound like? Car moving only can hear?

sound like what?

Hi.. Could u guys recommend me the best SA in klang valley.. Tq in advance

If you have driven a vehicle with manual transmission before, the knocking is sound is similar to what you'll be getting if you use 4th gear to accelerate the car when you are supposed to use 2nd gear.

ops. mybad, too fast typing n shortening the word causing the confusion. preve se i.allah by the end of the year. what i mebmt by april 2014 is that if want to buy car next year,dont rush to buy it as early as january. u may get 2013 car coz 2014 car is still under production. so better to wait atleast march or april if want to buy 2014 car. thats all. sory bout that.

Just to ask...does anyone here changed the stick hu to aftermarket hu? How about the warranty? Is it void for the hu or the whole car?...

Hey guys. What is the red blinking light at the front of the car (by the windshield) ? Is it supposed to be blinking nonstop even when engine is already turned off?

New owner of Preve CFE here.
