QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Oct 3 2013, 10:48 AM) 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. maybe is the turbo whistle? |

Seems like Proton is desperate to clear the cars~~hmm~~ wonder y there are still 2012 stocks~~now October already~~ The more desperate is Proton, the bigger discount they will give.. i suggest slightly tahan until year end~~ |

THanks for the information. Certainly useful. Yes, you are correct metal grinding sound may not be so accurate. The sound is metal/engine knocking or loose screws knocking against each other kind of sound. May I ask how old is your Preve Turbo? Yes, it I get this sound in mid-speed acceleration anywhere from 10km/h to 100km/h. It happens around 20km/h to 90km/h at low rpms below 2000. I have been using Petronas petrol all this while and just changed to Caltex yesterday. Looks like the sound is even louder now but will keep monitoring. Will try BHP next. |

Forgot to ask. Have you brought up this matter to the guys at the service centre, particularly the large one along Kesas highway Centre of Service Excellence? I did not ask the SA (doubt he could help) but will ask the guys at the service centre to check it for me when I send the car for the next 10,000km service. I wouldn't want to waste my time going there now as this issue is a minor one. Having said that, I would be slightly disappointed if it is something that is inherent in the vehicle and cannot be rectified. |

White usually solid so that it doesn't "shine" that much. I don't know if you can get other colours non-metallic other than white. Can I ask preve owners: does your flor carpet cover the entire floor or just a small carpet? My suprima carpet does not cover the whole area, even the back carpets are not cut off nicely. |
