Hello Preveians. If i dont get my car serviced at authorized Proton service center, will it void my warranty?

Can I reservice (1000Km) my car at authorized SC even though ive already serviced at non-authorized sc, just for the sake to get my booklet stamped
*
If you skip even one service at the SC, consider warranty voided.

yes note it but the problem is the Tyre specialist ask me to reduce 4psi from the spec given. just wondering why? he mentioned better grip but i didn't know whether it give any side effect or not....  hmm.gif
*
Lower pressure means the contact patch between the tire and the road will increase, hence theoretically better grip.

Side effects include higher fuel consumption and tire botak sooner.

what viva model bro? hehe.
last time i drive viva 1.0 premium one. with the led side signal on the side mirror.
the power is good. NVH is no good, yes. unstable? yes too.

but the FC is superb. i used it for 1 week. that was the time when my perodua myvi extreme got issue and left on their SC.
*
1.0 elite. No side mirror indicators, but engine is the same lah.

But true FC is superb, but at the expense of safety and comfort....You want good FC, Mirage has good FC, comfortable and safer too! thumbup.gif

Managed to send to nearest Proton Edar in Kampar to do checking.
they resolve it by reset my ECU and do an adaption on my clutch.
Basically they also dunno why happen like that. Just get to know the problem is from gearbox because the gearbox issue is light up.
will it be my ECU software too old already? i updated it since 5k service.

* the problem resolved when i turn off my engine for 15 mins and start it back, the gearbox alert signal no longer appear and the car back to normal.

really sad about this case that i had.  vmad.gif  mad.gif
*
If the CVT light came up, means a fault code has also been recorded.

Couldn't they check what fault code was that?

Saga FLX - B-segment sedan (same segment with; Vios, Almera, City, Polo Sedan etc)
Preve - C-segment sedan (same segment with; Civic, Sylphy, Altis, Focus Sedan etc)
Myvi - Hatchback

You ask here, of course we will tell go for Preve. U ask the same ques in Saga forum and Myvi forum, they will tell the same accordingly. Buy a car based on your needs, budget, and features of the car.

Because they don't have FC meter in their previous cars. Only "feeling" that their car saves fuel or consumes fuel. Without FC meter you need to do fuel up-to-fuel up calculations to determine FC. Not many are willing to do that.

Bottomline: psychology.
*
Is the Preve's avg FC gauge accurate? I mean if you compare to manual calculation.

If I compare my car's (NOT Preve) average FC gauge vs manual calculation, it's about 0.1-0.3L/100km difference, so it's quite accurate.

Accuracy varies with time between fuel ups.

Scenario 1:
Fuel up in the morning, drive 581 km, refuel at night. Time between fuel up = less than 1 day. Variance between FC meter & manual calculation = 0.1 L/100 km.

Scenario 2:
Fuel up, drive 400 km in 1.5 weeks, refuel. Time between fuel up = 9 days. Variance between FC meter & manual calculation = 0.7 L/100 km.

Conclusion:
FC meter is accurate. However, the longer time between fuel up means more fuel is lost due to evaporation, thus resulting in larger variance between FC meter and manual calculation.

Remark:
This is based on my experience driving Preve for 2 years, ~52,000 km. Manual FC calculation was begun when I received the car at 13 km on the odo, and still continues until today.

Small light = parking light, the one that switches on when you turn the stalk one notch only.

In Preve the parking light/small light is the LED strip.

how is that different from DRL? hmm.gif

DRL automatically switches on everytime you switch on the engine.

The LED strip on the Preve needs to be manually switch on, and the rear lights switches on with it (you know.....like normal parking light lah laugh.gif )

The one on Suprima is a proper DRL as it switches on with the engine, and the rear lights does not switch on with it.

wondering why Proton didn't update Preve LED into LDR?  hmm.gif

Dunno also, probably wanna reserve that function for the more premium Suprima.

Anyway, the function is already built into the headlamps, it can be converted into a DRL with some wiring mods by EA Autoworks.
