Just did on-wheel (high speed) balancing 2 days ago. No problem. I also was having the same issue as you, steering vibration whenever hit exactly 120kmh and above.

Go to those shop that have the machine to spin your tire with your engine off. And gear in Neutral. (Front tires)
For Rear tires, engine off. Gear in (P). Handbrake engage.

** Don't do if they want to on your engine, jack/lift up, and use engine power to spin tire. Harmful to engine/gearbox.

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.

calling for all sifus 

i am in serious dillema now whether to get a MYVI 1.3 SE or PREVE 1.6 EXECUTIVE CVT
i wont go for cfe version as it is really exceed my budget.
follow my heart  i wanted the preve because of the looks, superb handling and very spacious.
yet, by doing some research on internet many people complaining about the problem and fc.
myvi i really dont like the handling, as i drive my friend's before really felt unstable and want terbalik one, especially in corners and roundabout.
but some says u can save a lot in terms of fuel and free 3 yrs services.

as attached above, this will be my daily route to and from work, 8 to 5 or even more, cyberjaya to putrajaya(not inside putrajaya)
ppl say myvi will jimat in city driving, preve jimat in highway driving.. i dont know whether this route consider city or highway oo 
route one way around 10km, and mostly using highway. traffic condition i could say not really as jam as kl.

my main concern is fuel and repairing cost. one full tank if can last for one week still ok for me. just tht i scare isi one full tank then thursday already zero    this is my first car so most of myauto knowledge i got from internet only.

   

ops. mybad, too fast typing n shortening the word causing the confusion. preve se i.allah by the end of the year. what i mebmt by april 2014 is that if want to buy car next year,dont rush to buy it as early as january. u may get 2013 car coz 2014 car is still under production. so better to wait atleast march or april if want to buy 2014 car. thats all. sory bout that.

I asked for Syntium 3000. I think most SC will provide a default Petronas type if no instruction given.

The SC showed me following Syntium range.

1. Syntium 3000 (5W-40)
2. Syntium 1000 (15W-50)
3. Syntium 800 (15W-50)

Anyone know what is the diff between 1000 & 800. Price almost double.

You have to pay more also for Syntium 3000.

I just took syn800 becoz dont want to waste free service

And recently i bought mitsu full syn bought from a fren at rm95. I oso stock up another 4L that i bought from aeon jusco rm95 for my next service

Proton/petronas EO can go saupei coz sexpensive

some SC does carry Shell Engine Oil too...

Most of SC doesn't carry Petronas 3000, so I purchase Petronas 3000 from Petronas petrol station by myself and i bring it to SC during the 1000km service... Petronas 800 is semi syn but you can choose Petronas 1000 which is full syn as most of SC do carry it too...

what kinda fkin car keeps radiator on

cz its our money..
never cost u a penny...

Stop quoting him, just let the bozo running loose

So means there is nothing wrong with the CVT holding the revs at 4000rpm ? Is 4000rpm the best max power/torque output already? I still finding it hard to believe.. Cause throughout all gears it holds at around 4000rpm only. I thought different gear ratios should be different shifting point?

Ahh... So it peaks around 4-5k ? Ok k .. No i didn't mean i want to rev high or redline.. I just wondered if 4k rpm was the best shift point. Cause noticed the CVT held it around there whenever full throttle. Thanks for clarifying

Hi Kristof,

I understand the new Suprima S is using VT3+, an upgraded version of the VT3 used in Preve and Exora.

Can you elaborate on the improvements implemented on the new VT3+ compared to the older VT3?

Thanks!

Regards,
****

Hey ****, your answer will be in tomorrow. We dont have any secrets and the more malaysia knows what we are doing, especially improving, the better! So no issue in sharing. Have you testdriven the suprima, offcoarse i did, huge difference with preve! Car build up quality is way better, a lot of lessons learned taken into account. Allthough i have to say that the vt3+ Is also adopted in the newly produced preve and preve will take over a lot of suprima quality as well.

Regards

Kristof

Dear ****,

VT3+ found in Suprima S is base on VT3 found in Preve CFE and Exora CFE,the changes that we made is redesign the gear geometry of secondary gear side to reduce whining sound of it.Number of teeth also different but final ratio of each transmission is still the same.TCU calibration also different due to number of teeth and new Cal on Suprima S is more responsive compared to Preve.

But on the same time,Proton also did lots of upgrade to absorb the whining sound.Like new design trans mounting,additional brace inside front fender,thicker padding at firewall and few more which I not remember.

Hope the answer is fine for you.Thanks.

Fikeri Yusof

Any news when will normal Preve CFE come with VT3+??

I have talked to the SA in Sg Besi Proton Edar Branch~~
i've asked if the gears have been updated to VT3+, he mention yes~~
but from the post here (thanks a lot man) it seems like the 2013 Preve has not been updated with it yet~~
i really doubt what the SA told me and i doubt whether they know about what is VT3+
How come Proton Sales staff is not improved or updated? Hmm dissapointing~~
This is a damn big deterrent for me to rush for a new Preve this year~~

However, the SA mention that next year Preve variant has 6 airbags~~
wonder how much they are going to increase the Price~~
Again, thanks a lot for the info~~

I'm quite sure only Preve LE has VT3+. Preve LE also has EVP (confirmed). I think only future Preve with 6 airbags will have VT3+.

Take sales people's word with pinch of salt. They'd say anything to make a sale.

Although the headunit on Suprima S isn't very spectacular, but I hope at least it's on Preve LE.

I'm quite tempted to upgrade from my 1.5 year old Persona.

Just like typical Toyota, to stop engine braking, press the gas pedal.

Eh, my family's Estima got

So... CFE pistons and rings are made by a company called Kolbenschimdt from Czech Republic, owning a few manufacturing plants in Japan, China, USA, Germany, France and a few more. Their customer base includes Volkswagen and Volvo as well. Piston rings are made in Japan, I assume the pistons themselves are as well.

No, CFE remains. I have been visiting my car twice over the weekend

I haven't get the key to my car yet, only can see from outside. Neither there is any test drive car for Preve LE.
