Walau.. v19. ..
Congrats congrats

btw @spiritbreaker_33 what is your mileage now? some of owner old batch/chassis number, the tire was not round. Need to check the tire wear and tear, ur rim also need to be check. got bengkok or not.

For torque converters and wet-clutch, keep your engine running but in keep the gear in N, then use an external spinner to spin the tires.

If you switch of your engine, the oil in the wet clutch is not being cooled as you spin your wheels at high speed (The engine runs the CVTF pump, which cycles the CVTF and cools them). This is the very same reason why you should NEVER tow your car with the front wheels on the ground.

But, if they do try using the engine power to spin the wheels, the wheels will not spin fast enough anyway. Don't ask me why or how, according to Kristoff there seems to be some safety mechanism that prevents the engine from spinning the wheels too fast if the car is jacked up.

Can share your SA details ?

i saw this car parked by the road side, at the proton shorum, jln kelang lama-jln puchong, near the KFC.

in my eyes, it looks like very lite silver, with purplish hue.

Any Preve Turbo owners who experience slight metal grinding sound when accelerating up a slightly inclined slope or from a toll plaza at speeds of say 20km/h to 100km/h. The sound is not really loud so if you don't pay attention you will not hear it. I"m not referring to the sound of the Turbo engine.

I don't know if this is a defect or unrefinement of the Turbo engine. Since it is a minor issue, I will only bring up this issue in the next service. Just curious if any other Preve owners experience this metal grinding sound when accelerating from standstill to about 80-100km/h.

If anyone drives a manual car before, the "metal grinding" sound is like the sound you hear when you accelerate the vehicle using 4th gear when the right gear to use is 2nd or 3rd gear.

nope..never before.. hard accelelaration and also normal acceleration..

Sorry, abit too technical so I don't know what exactly you're trying to tell.

- For our simple confirmation, for Preve , does the engine need to be ON or OFF during on-wheel (high speed) balancing? -

Cause that shop did for me with engine off, and so far still ok, no problem at all.

I was passed there,,the color is like lite purple + silver

Engine on, gear in N, spin the wheels with the spinning machine.

When doing on-wheel balancing the wheels are spun at high speed only for a few seconds, so any wear is minimized. But advisable to still keep the engine on.

If towing, never tow with front wheels on the ground.

Anybody compared different types of petrol on the Preve Turbo? Any difference in smoother acceleration or power between Petronas, Shell, Caltex or BHP?

Wah v19 already.... Bravo!

Asking sifu's here what is your running tire pressure for the BAX2 tire or any other tire for Preve?

After a few trial and error I find Fr 36psi and rr 33psi is the best balance between Handling and efficiency. Never tried on wet road yet.

Is this thing call dyno test? enlighten me if i'm wrong.

mileage around 75k, i also have problem while braking at high speed. Its the loud sound (gluk2) from the disc brake i suppose. Please advise if this is normal. at first i tot caused the car is new, until now it continue

Wow.. thats the best one i heard.. I manage to get rm6750 discount only..

dyno test is actually to test how much horsepower and torque the car is actually giving out on the wheels. it is like driving full throttle (for a short period of time only) on the dyno machine..

I stay at kl, traffic jam every where..so I guess I will get some teasing of driving a manual car at kl..haha..

there is a recall to rectify the window gluk gluk sound by replacing the spring.

ini curi guna gambar saya....

wow so tempting offer
