when is proton recalled for VVT? what's the problem?

vvt oil leak?

Symptom
1. Possibility of engine oil leaking at timing belt and cylinder head area.

The affected batch of VVT that require VVT assy replacement is batch 2131 January 2012.
Affected models are Preve CFE and Exora CFE.
Supplier has disposed the affected mould, so the possible concurrence is only for the chassis number listed below.

Preve CFE, Chassis number range of G000488 - G002193
Exora CFE, Chassis number range of F082708 - F086729

Yes, I have tried Petronas Primax, Caltex Techron and BHP only. When the mileage is lower, say between 1,000km to 8,000km, Caltex seems to provide a more powerful acceleration compared to Petronas. BHP is also good but Caltex feels great. The car seems to be less energetic ie. less powerful acceleration, coupled by engine knocking with Petronas. With Caltex and BHP, more powerful acceleration and less knocking.

But know, with the mileage >8,000km, seems like the type of fuel is more or less similar. Little or no more knocking with all types of fuel, even Petronas Primax.

I didn't try RON97 before. Perhaps I will try sometime. Do you pump RON97 everytime, or you just tried RON97 just for several times before switching to RON95?

Yes, I agree that the engine sounds slightly more refined wtih more mileage. My car is about 8,700km now. Still 1,300km to go before the 10,000km service, and I expect the performance from the engine to be better, more refined and smoother acceleration.

Can the Race Chip give better FC after install? They claim can get better FC but have my doubts because increase performance normally the FC will go up.

Seems no one on the forum have installed Race Chip or ones that have Race Chip installed at not on this forum.

mind you the seat is not so comfort for long drive yo~

As a side-note, when at the service centre today, I saw a service advisor driving a Proton Suprima S. When he stepped out of the vehicle, I approached him and asked him some questions on the Suprima S, since I was interested in the difference between the leather seats of it vs. the fabric seats in the Preve. My impression is the leather seats in the Suprima S will be more comfortable than the fabric seats in the Preve.

The answer I got from him turned out to be the opposite. He informed that his manager has driven both Suprima S and Preve on long journeys outstation. In long journeys outstation trips, the fabric seats of the Preve was said to be more comfortable than the leather seats of the Suprima S mainly because the fabric is softer. He mentioned his manager got slight backache in the Suprima S. Is the leather seat in the Suprima S that hard and more uncomfortable than the Preve?

On short journeys, no difference in comfort between the leather and fabric seats. Only in long journeys, the fabric seats is said to be more comfortable than the leather seats. Funny. If that is the case, the leather seats must be the hard type. The only good thing going for the leather seats, according to the service advisor, is it looks better than the fabric seats. That I agree, as the fabric seats look cheap in comparison to the leather. However, in comfort, the fabric seats are said to be more comfortable.

ur car is new? new car engine tends to have much higher friction when it is new...this is normally due to micro imperfection of the engine~~ so it need sometime to "wear in / break in / run in" ...
some said 10,000KM....some say 5,000KM~~depending on the engine... (google it)

so after 1,000KM oil change, try to hantam you engine a bit to make sure the engine blocks sits correctly in place and reduce friction~~~

full tank (50L) for 400km in city drive with new engine wasn't that bad in my opinion...try avoid the jam and go out of town...at 100KM/hr can achieve 6.6L/100KM based on the instant FC calculation displayed~~

Anyway...dont compare Preve CFE's FC with normal 1.6 engine car~~the FC should be comparable to 2.0 car especially when u are running in city constant stop and go situation~~

How long it took you to update the table >.<
any special software?

may i know what size wiper u guys buy for bosch aerotwin?

hmm~~i have a very weird problem just now~~
my car (CFE) is parked in front of my friend's house hence blocking the main gate...when my friend's wife is coming back...she called and inform me to remove the car as she is about to reach...

when i move away and parked at the side waiting for his wife to park inside the house....i opened my driver side window and was thinking to stop the engine (by pressing the push start button) as i do not know exactly when is she coming back~~~~but the engine refuse to stop even after multiple try~~

even after i closed the window it does not seems to response to the command~~
i stop trying after pushing it more than 10 times and wait for another 2 minutes or so (a bit panic already) and try again after that~~this time finally the engine stopped...

any one has the same experience as me?

lol at most they will void my HU warranty...I am not too bothered as their gps navigation's map is really not up to date and pretty rubbish, (anyone knows how to update it?) I stop short of modding the entire HU becos my wife will be driving it,

this is how it looks like on the screen at night

Hmm but is there a way we can update the map in the HU by ourselves?

Just wondering...did you press the brake when you floor it?

Hehe if you want to test handling... run from Kampar to Tapah exit at 5AM. lol

I blame this on the Petronas engine deal between Proton!

why now can't bring own oil? because of the deal. previously it was allowed.

satria gti different story ma tat one engine powderful wo.. 0-100 7+sec

Hmm how extensive is the mods?
i find it interesting if it is just exhaust system modifications...

wonder when will R3 come out with their own performance mods for Preve

Just got my preve yesterday...wondered how to bypass the alarm if the remote transmitter doesn't work..i know how to manually unlock the door,but if  u open the door,it will activate the alarm...my SA told me to remove the battery connector  to bypass the alarm..is there any other way??

what I mean is I read somewhere that the wifi is not working when we're driving, only when the car is not moving we can use the wifi. Loan got approved today, most probably will get my Suprima Premiun next week
