Not in my case. CVT whining sound/aeroplane taking off sound, it's audible from acceleration from standstill, and it just gets louder at higher speeds up to 100km/h. The CVT sound is at its peak at 60km/h to 100km/h. Once above 100km/h, the Turbo engine sound takes over from the CVT whining sound. In other words, the CVT sound is still there at speeds in excess of 100km/h, and it's just that the Turbo engine sound is louder than the CVT sound and drowns it at higher speeds.

guys,

whats the best offer you get for Preve premium?

These are the sounds that I currently have in the vehicle :-

1) Rattling sound from front left door. The rattling is gone if we press the top plastic panel.
2) Some turbine whirring sound. Not sure where is the source of the sound. Could be from inside or outside.
3) Tak tak sound from the passenger seat. The sound reappeared recently once it was gone for several weeks. It can be due to the faulty lock button of one of the passenger seats as the back seats couldn't secure properly due to the button.

I can get the faulty lock button fixed in my next service that may eventually resolve the "tak tak" sound foor good as in item 3, but for the rest of the sound I am not sure if they can successfully address them.

1. I have that too~ is inside door panel, try press down the storage space, it will gone. I guess is wire inside.
2. this thing is common thing for preve i think.
3. tak tak sound maybe from 3rd brake light or rear left hand side below dashboard screw~

my veve only got rear seat sound,famous latch issue
no other problem yet, after almost 4 month of usage

Then I suppose VT3+ is much quieter. The whine is almost inaudible and only appearing for a short moment then gone.

For 2, it is not the CVT whining sound. It is something else. The "turbine whirring" sound. It is heard when the car is moving slowly to a stop, or at low speeds. Annoying. Is this the sound that you are referring to?

Nevermind about the tak tak sound. I'll get the rear seats lock button fixed anyway. The seats are loose and can be opened and closed by itself sometimes as the car is moving. Since the seats are not locked. Imagine that.

Another thing I forgot to mention is the airbags at the driver seat. This one I will definitely need to get the guys to fix it. THe airbags in the seat are making sound everytime I move my body, or the car goes over bumps. I can feel the airbags behind my back. There are air pockets in the seats where the air bag is located. Really shitty quality.

Good to hear that the new Preve has addressed some of the shortcomings in the older Preve model. I think now it is the test of time whether the parts would hold before rattling sound starts to appear in the vehicle.

Ya, i have that since day one, just ignore it.

sound inside car seat can fix by putting grease, if you go normal sc, they will tell you is manufacture problem( i did complain, they ask me sit in other preve and try, same sound. So i lazy to talk with them, just go home put in grease.) If you want get this kind of thing fix effectively, suggest you direct go COSE. dont wast time at normal sc

Thanks for the response. I will always go to COSE along Kesas highway. Those small SCs, I only sent my car to one of these SCs once just to fix a loose number plate. All services and major faults such as those highlighted above, it will definitely be COSE.

hopefully they change whole seat for you, not just put in grease~ hehe

Bro,

Refer to post #586 in this forum for solution.



Actually i found the problem and solved it already. Seems that the gap between the rear wheelhouse and rear panel is making the ngek ngek sound. All you need to do is to get a screwdriver, insert at the gap and pull down, there you will make a bigger gap thus creating space and eliminating the noise.
You can find the pic at Prevoc FB.

If it does not work, use cellotape to secure the two boot spring metal rod to prevent it from moving around.

If not, send to mudguard shop and knock around the metal sheets to find the source of the noise?

bro..the noise in the video exactly same like urs?..

coz actually i viewed ur post #586 before...but i dare not use the screwdriver to make bigger gap la..i just tried to tug in a piece of cloth into the gap just to make sure the noise is caused by the gap..but still..the noise appeared...not sure whether i tuck in not enuf cloth or the cloth method doesnt work...but the noise definitely come from around that wheelhouse area

Yes..same noise..


Just pull it down bro, pull until you cannot hear the krek krek sound anymore. Do not worry, the welding will not be spoilt.

I think the noise could be cause by lack of dampening materials at the far end of the sheet metal. Do not think the cloth is the solution.

As for wheelhouse, check for allenultra post in this forum, got mention about possible sound due to clash of wheelhouse and rear metal sheet.

I got all the seats in my car changed at the Sec 13 Service Centre. I was actually in there to claim one seat but they went ahead and changed all of them - front and back.

You can try going there, if COSE is too crowded, and see what the sec 13 ppl say.

Thanks for the information. I will take note on Sec 13 service centre though COSE is nearer to my house. May I ask if they changed the seats right on the spot, meaning they already have the spare seats in the service centre, or you need to go another day for the replacement?

Actually what happened that you need to change the whole seat?

You hear this coming from Front LH side? I thought something wrong about the Front LH wheel but SC said it's CVT... I find this really really annoying

Anyone noticed the opening inside the Front LH Fender? Isn't the sound coming out of there?

i try SC13 too, they told me put in lubricant and tighten, when i get back my car, same~

From the front, but not sure whether it is left or right. It feels like it's coming right under my feet, or just below me. Not sure if it is inside the car, or outside. Sounds like the front wheel, sounds like some friction sound or something. Can't really pin-point exactly where is the sound or what it is.
