Just got my preve. F the sa. Kept denying that he ever promised me full tank petrol. Visor say no stock have to wait.

Anyway, seriously feel that preve exec is underpowered. Viva 1.0 manual can accelerate much faster than my car. If only I have test driven the exec instead of cfe, I wouldn't buy exec variant at the first place. The car weight is really too heavy for the engine.

And ts pls add me into the owner list. Preve exec white cvt owner here..

Well, you can't blame anyone other than yourself... you went for CFE test drive session but bought Exec without ever seating in the car... blush.gif

Sad case, first batch user paid higher price to offset their R&D cost sad.gif

The price of being first. Same like buying smartphone, the first batch is always prone to defects tongue.gif

Guys, any idea on this? Preve stock headlamp DRL? Is it really stock Preve stock headlamp and we can DIY mod this? At first i thought it was Suprima, but by looking at the dash, seems like it isn't?  blink.gif

Yes you can, only need some soldering since it is the same unit used in SS. But, as you may have , voids the warranty.

Anyone know how to unzip the driver seat cover? I tried to unzip the flap but it seems it is somehow sewn. Trying to check the supposed grinding metal that makes the driver seat squeaky.

After unzip, there are few clip at the side, it need to pull out.

Actually, I didn't even manage to unzip it. There's a 'flap' that is apparently sewn to the bottom part of the seat doh.gif

Hi guys,

Is it true that the chassis number parallels the number of Prevé's made ? Meaning, if a new Prevé's chassis number is 45,000, Proton made 45,000 Prevés ? Any sifus can verify this ? Just curious to know because I cannot find the official sales data for the Prevé since MAA stopped publicising them in June 2012.

Many thanks !  smile.gif

EDIT : I also asked this question some time back this year, but no one knew for sure.  sad.gif

Yes, but production =/= sales laugh.gif

Like others said, if you can afford (after stretching a bit), get CFE smile.gif

I have been following this thread for the pass few weeks. I understand that CFE version may come with VT3+, EVP on top of the 6 air bags. This afternoon I went to a show room but the sales adviser seem know nothing about the VT3+ and EVP story. And he told me gearbox is same with the 4 air bags version and no EVP on CFE model...

Appreciate if any new sifu-sifu here or the 6 air bags CFE version owners can share and confirm. Thanks.

A plausible reason is the SA you met might just want to finish the old 2013 stock. Better find other SA.

Technically i think there are not much difference sinz even ANCAP comes with VT3+..
for the exterior...you can buy the R3 bodykit of Preve LE~~recently saw another dude with a blue R3 bodykit...looks awesome~~
for the interior....if u are really fond of leather...you can ask for seats wrapping service...
saw it once on the automotive forum before..not cheap~~
*
Leather wrapping is at least 1.5k, can easily soar to additional 1k laugh.gif I'm thinking of sending the car for painting, gun metal anyone? hmm.gif

i can accept pick up a bit slow..but for engine noise..is it too loud or you can chat with your friend comfortably during highway drive?

This is where it gets weird, once you hit the high speed, the noise becomes less apparent laugh.gif The engine noise isn't that much of a problem, the CVT whines at low speed is tongue.gif

Hi Mate,

Not sure if this has been discussed before as I couldn't find any...

And you are the owner of both Persona and Preve CFE...

Mind to share about the FC for both cars? How much does it consume for both in City/Highway drivings and etc....

Still considering between these 2......
*
CFE FC is around 9-10l/100km, but can achieve lesser than that when driving on highway smile.gif In simpler comparison, comparable to other 2.0 car. Still, it ultimately depends on your driving style.

maybe get the lighter engine oil instead... such as Petronas 3000 5W-30 only available at some SC and spare part shop, i will going to try it after my 5000km odometer... like Petronas petrol station only selling Petronas 3000 5w-40...

with Petronas 3000 5W-30, the FC about 12km/L but 75% on PLUS highway...
*
Yeap highly recommend Syntium 5000 (Well, that's the best choice as most SC will only provide Petronas brand lubricant).

but 5000 a bit over since the viscosity same as 3000... hence 5000 hardly find in the market unless very old stock...

Err.. not sure at your place, but I think many SC ditch the 3000, they either sell 1000 or 5000 for full synthetic. I guess their strategy is to sell the lowest quality of fully, and the highest one laugh.gif

for my SC, they didnt carry 3000 or 5000 since the 1000 can last 10k km mileage which same as 3000...
but 1000 which is much thicker than 3000...

as 5000, i checked from Petronas petrol station, the manufacture date about 5years+, no dare go for it...  sweat.gif

I usually ask my Petronas contacts to buy (staff price less 30%), or if I feel like it, just buy straight from SCs near my area smile.gif

sorry bros, i dont really understand what engine oil and the thickness. somebody mind to explain?
*
Err it goes a bit back into history. Let's take Syntium 1000, 15W-50. The W stands for Winter, back in those days you would have to switch between different types of lubricants, during winter and not. The '50' is during normal climate, basically this oil will have its viscosity rated at '50' at 100 degrees celcius. However, lubricants nowadays are considered as Multigrades, where you no longer have to switch the lubricants depending on the climate (during cold weather period you need thinner lubricants).

Just remember the basic, the lower the numbers are, the better they are. The lower the 'W' value is, the easier your engine works, especially during cold start smile.gif

For Preve specifically, I recommend Syntium 5000 (5W-30) as I believe 90% of service centers carry Petronas product only. Usually the service costs around RM300, for 6 months interval. That's like RM50 per month smile.gif

Lots of people go for 5k > 10k > 10k (First three services). But as it's a new car, I get the best rating lubricant (5-30) as possible biggrin.gif

220 is the cold pressure... if uve driven the car for quite some distance, the tyre will heat up the air inside.. raising tyre pressure...
*
Just to add, proper tyre maintenance is to watch the load and your speed biggrin.gif In order to make the tyres wear out 'naturally', add 3-4 PSI when full load or going high speed for a long time smile.gif

I seriously dun agree adding additional 3 to 4 PSI to the tyre pressure~~
that is some serious over inflattion..danger when driving in wet or high speed condition as the grip is lost~~


the theory is that if u under inflate your tyre it will become so gripy that it results in slower car and waste fuel consumption...but if you over inflate it~~the tyre will not be in full contact of the surface and you have lost grip~~which it will also affect in Fuel Consumption AND will result in dangerous driving condition..again especially in wet or high speed condition~~

check out you tube for the "mythbuster series" they have tried all 3 conditions and concluded the above statement~~

the optimum pressure when cold according 220kPa (around 31 psi??) for the front and 210kPa (around 30 psi??) for the rear~~refer to page 166 of your manual [english] it is CLEARLY stated there~~

therefore if u pump with hot tyre it should be fine for you to add 5~10kPa for both front and back..
oh ya for the new cars...please make sure you check your tyre pressure...as they are not sure how long the car will stay in their storage..to avoid flat tyre..the manufacturer normally will inject more air inside...go ahead and try adjust the pressure to the optimum level...you will then feel the true power and stability
*
Err please read carefully, I did specifically say it's for the circumstances of full load (full trunk + 4 passengers), and going for high speed for extended time smile.gif

proton management had decided that cfe is too confusing. even the exora bold will now be known as exora bold turbo instead of exora bold cfe.

it started with the suprima s. they decided to simplify the engine name.

Personally, I prefer the term CFE, as it carries some weights to its name biggrin.gif
