Just FYI, brake dust is not solely from pads, some of it consists from rotor shavings too.

So any pads that are high dust, I'd be cautious.

Got my CFE today, first full tank RM101.10. Already done 15km when taking the car. Tried the rain sensor (raining in Kesas) and Auto light, both work splendidly. But in Federal Hway slow moving jam, without touching the accelerator, the car moving jerkingly with tacometer move up and down, while aircond felt cold and less cold intermittently, it could be aircond not stable? Electrical Relay issue?

8pm went out for dinner with my new purchase, alas, no HEADLAMP! Oh oh! Proton oh Proton, No light! Turning the left knob down to "Auto", no light, turn up 2 bars, no light, turn all the way to main light, ALSO no light! OMG! There's such light when tested it in show room. Try High Beam light, yes, there's high beam, the rest nothing. Fog lamp got as it is by pressing button control. No choice, but to drive out with High Beam light and just back from dinner. Anyway, it is "within" expectation lah...now flipping the thick manual....

I guess I have suffered from "Stockholm syndrome" where I readily accept lousy QC of Malaysian "Proud" car which I proudly choose it over Honda City and spend my hard earned money on.

Then called 1800 888 398, spoke to a good "QC" staff, helpful, share my unhappiness, guided me properly to the service facilities in CouE (Centre of un"Excellence"), can get service without appointment as it is related to safety issue (driving without head light is safety!!), will spend time there reading the thick manual, for "safety" purpose!

U know what.. everyone keeps posting 20k service costs RMxxx is it normal?
30k is it normal?

I mean why not just share out the itemized billing/receipt and let us look at it?

seems like termakan all the preve propaganda here....ppl forget the value of peace of mind...power windows that work 100%...engine that runs for years with no problem....airbags that will open during emergency..

why are u so sure the airbag won't deploy?
have u wrecked your preve?

It may be a lemon unit, considering majority of us here are happy when we received our cars

Seems to be a lemon unit but most of us even as we are happy with our cars when received...

We also visit SC too soon to fix certain shits

Mine
- Helicopter Braking (Known Issue)
- Alignment Lari


Yup seems to be small issue but really Proton should still do a better job in this. To make it harder, COSE only allows warranty claim during weekday yet the waiting time is superb long even just for a usual service. Dealers SC not standardized enough and not willing to do claim.
To be honest, as much as we like the Preve.. Proton still have a lot of improvements to make.

Of course, but I believe many people can see the improvements (and they shouldn't stop), as long as nothing major or critical (brake problems, lol), I think I can live with very minor rattling

hie everyone, mind to intro where to install the locktech?

i did survey and most seller giving 4-5k discount with smart tag, touch and go, petrol, and a few other cheap things as free gift.

Is this the best so far? Anyone got higher? I am thinking of Preve Premium.

Preve LE is just RM1k discount.

if you get 5k with gift for 2014 ancap, i think very good already

havent come across SA that give higher at the moment.

I see. March is financial month for Proton and they are giving more as they wanna get or achieve target. The SA said it is now too late as he scare next month will be new promo and expecting less discount..

make sense also cos most if not all their promo end 31 march.

at least they recommend you the X1R, I went to puchong YES car care, they never mentioned it to me and direct use it during my first service, when i pay the bill and post up in fb only know the X1R is not necessary for new car.

Complaint for brake helicopter sound but they not entertain me, just said my car still low mileage, let it hit until 2k first. Seriously won't go back again, will go PJ section 13 for 2nd service.

Anyway, are you guys recommend semi or full synthetic engine oil? any specific need to tell the SC If i want use full syn?

Exactly.. wondering why people recommended "YES CAR CARE" except you don't need to make appointment in advance. Other than that, nothing to shout about.

By the way, If my first service using semi oil, the next service should be after 3 months or 6 months? service sticker written next service is 5k, but i don't think I will drive until 5k within 3 months, need to confirm on this...

What changes in the new 2014 CFE model? Compared to 2013..

My SA told me for preve the service interval is 10k km. No more 5k km.

Do I need to do appointment to do ECU Mapping at the Section 13 SC?

Proton has confirmed that service interval is minimum 10,000km (Semi/Fully EO)
Note why I mention the word "minimum".
You can service as frequent as you want - if you are rich.

But for severe usage, it's recommended 5,000km.
Same goes for CVT Fluid/Filter - Severe 40,000km, Normal 60,000km

For us, we prefer to stick to Fully Synt EO if for 10,000km.
