engine same with preve exec?

sure?

if you look for 3rd party how much would it cost,

any difference?

just sharing my experience.as proton slogan says, drive it to believe it.

on 17th march 2014, i went to proton glenmarie temasya service centre for my 20k km service.

complaint on my seat, vibration, cvt leak and follow up regarding my last complaint about front windows rubber lining as well.

in the evening, i was informed i need to leave the car as they found out vibration on my car was not due to engine mountings but a loose tensioner pulley. i was OMG. mileage was slightly over 20k km, not even 21k km yet.
they promised to settle it the next day once all parts arrive. well, i have already guess it by that day with many experiences i read in the net that it is impossibru.

now i am sharing my experience that my car is still at proton service center until today. fourth day and they still cannot verify with me how much longer i have to wait.
already email to we care and someone to help push the order/ repair job on the that night when my car was admitted to service center.

i guess this is normal eh? 

p/s: my 1st proton car and my first car that have to overnight at service center. coincidence? 
      today is my preve's 1st year roadtax n insurance renewal, and i havent even got the chance to stick new roadtax to my preve. 

Hi, hope someone can help a noob here with 1st time car buying

So I've got a deal with an SA for CFE for RM70k. Downpayment RM10k.

I'm a bit confused by how the loan is calculated. The SA told me the formula to calculate it is RM60k (loan) * 2.9% (interest) * 7 (years) + RM60k / 84 (months) which brings the monthly payment to RM859.

Is this correct? What I want to know is why he has to x 7 (years)?

isnt calculating the Effictive Interest rate different from calculating the nominal interest rate?

anyone has tried that?

my 2 cents towards firestorm is that...preve's iridium plug is very strong (costly as well) and does not need extra boost to the powerful spark...
therefore i dun think adding a firestorm will significantly enhance the performance...

anyway still need some preverian to confirm this

General information about Iridium spark plugs.

Iridium is an extremely hard metallic element, related to platinum, which is thought to occur on earth primarily due to an enormous meteor impact millions of years ago. Other than it's hardness, the main property which makes Iridium attractive as an electrode material for spark plugs is its extremely high melting point (almost 2,500 deg C).

Since late in the 20th century Iridium has been used in alloy form as material of choice for construction of Spark plug and industrial igniter electrodes. Pure Iridium is difficult to work with, very brittle and does not have great electrical conductivity hence alloys are used to give the best combination of these properties. An Iridium alloy electrode is able to deliver good conductivity and extreme hardness. The result is that an Iridium electrode can be manufactured with an extremely small diameter, when compared to a traditional copper or even a platinum tipped electrode, without compromising the useful life of the electrode or spark plug. The narrow diameter concentrates the electrical charge and therefore a much lower voltage is required to jump the spark gap. This is beneficial in several ways:

    A lower voltage is required, this reduces load on a vehicle's ignition system (less strain = less chance of failure)
    A larger gap can be supported without increasing load on the ignition system (Larger gap = larger spark = more efficient combustion)
    A more precise spark every time, delivered in the correct position and with the correct timing (More efficient combustion)

Assuming a suitable Iridium plug is available, benefits you are most likely to see are:

    Improved throttle response
    Improved economy (though this depends largely on how much you enjoy the improved throttle response!)
    Increased plug service life (Depending on design, an Iridium plug could last up to ten times the life of a standard plug with little reduction in efficiency over the plug's lifespan)
    Increased engine power (Don't expect to double your horsepower but a 1 - 3% increase is possible)
    Improved (reduced) emissions.

Well it is clear that iridium plugs are good enough to stand the extra heat from your super duper ultra kuat firestorm (as i heard that firestorm reduce the life of traditional plug significantly due to extra heat it generates)....but whether is adds additional benefits on the already kuat plug is questionable...

Preve CFE stock uses NGK Iridium ILKAR7G7 size

Preve Exec using same as all normal Campro... Bosch HGR7DQI, Denso IT20...

haha glad to know that u are happy with the add on~~
mind to share the experience in details?

coz i also read some where which a guy claim that his plug was toast after a few months of use ~~~cannot recall what car model~~and the discussion goes on recommending him other type of plugs~~

hmm but it is hard to believe 5x stronger spark (as it claims) does not add additional heat~~   possible?

may i know wat is super firestorm? i only know got normal one..

haha i am not an anti salesman either...but below are one of the statement of the user...

vr2turbo:

You ask me ah? I am not an expert leh, so many other sifus around..... blush.gif

As far as I know you may feel smoother acceleration but whether harmful or not you have to find out, but I can contribute the following story.

My mechanic's brother is a technical guy, so following the same theory, he modified and made a module sort of like the one shown to increase the spark. Yes, according to him smoother acceleration, but he melted his spark plugs after running a few km only.....Maybe he over did it, I am not sure, but he took it out and replace the spark plugs..... biggrin.gif

Anyway, there are also theory that mention bigger spark not necessary will complete the burning of the air fuel ratio in the combustion chamber.... sad.gif

original source same as posted on the above...just dunno what his brother modded~~

Anyway im no expert or engineer~~
what i "heard" is mostly based on what i "read" in this forum (or zerotohundred)~~i think the user who complain (not the above) the product ultimately change his plugs and moved on~~dunno if there are further feedback from him...

as far as i know...car manufacturers take power boosting technology and fuel consumption saving technology very seriously...
if his product is great~~it could be included in our cars of the future 

U r right, there's no temperature meter in the car, but the question is whether there's this outside temperature sensor, this will decide whether the "Climatic Control" feature is for real or fake because this system will need an outside Temperature sensor to function properly.

I have Torque and bluetooth OBD2 adaptor. In clear air, cruising at 80 kph, the Intake Air Temp (IAT) is 40*C. During traffic jams, it goes to 75*C. That seems quite hot, but once you start moving it quickly goes down back to 40*C.

well.. 40 degrees C is still high.. the timing is probably retarded...
most turbo with intercooler aims to get IAT near or below ambient temp..
a cooler IAT is probably more beneficial to the engine..

Not too worry I'm learning.  I was told by my SA,  turbo only turn on when rpm reach above 2.5 so I have this question in my mind  :blush in fact that wrong info capture after I read Ur explanation...  Thx anyway 

thx bro, is tat meant below 2krpm that might possible consume more petrol as its heavy weight body (underpower condition)... 

btw mind to educate why there is decreasing of torque after 5k rpm. if i understand correctly from the graph, tis preve is just as good as pick up, after this it just same normal cps engine. and also just wondering why some of forumer comment CFE engine as similar performance as standard 2.0L engine. sorry for the doubt again, trying to learn from all of u 

A few minutes later when traffic clears, I got to 80 kph and the temps quickly goes down. Here I am decelerating (foot off the pedal, that's why the fuel flow is so low and it is deep in vaccuum:

Hi guys

Just got my preve exec AT today.

I notice under the tuner settings on my car entertainment, there is this function call "traffic". Just wondering what does it do?

guys, is x1r good for my manual preve?
because the one in the complain letter are for cfe variant.

the staff called me just now to confirm the service but i reject the x1r since many say tht its bad for engine. wonder if it will work for manual?

Cruising 110km/h @ 90km distance give me 6.9l/100km

Mixed town driving without much jam give me about 8.5km/l

If peak hour with a lot of jam it gives me 9.5km/l.. or slightly more...

So if you are a cruiser without much in jam area.. the Preve is top in its class for its FC.. being a C-Segment and have advance active/passive safety features required for high-speed cruising.

Today i told my colleague that I had tested drive proton preve last saturday and fell very nice and want buy.. After this, all bang me that proton useless d, cant lasts long.. All ask me go see Toyota and honda.. But then i tell them if pocket blank, then why force yourself to buy those car just for fame..

At least can feel proton preve quality better than previous model a lot.. Hmm, I would say why people hate it due to previous perception.. And also ppl hate it was protected.. Like now ppl will say Nokia, sony all noob.. Must use samsung and apple.. Just they are lack of updated knowledge.. Survey ourselves and get our own prefer choices.. No need care other people say d. No need argue or debate d.. Coz they not understand.. I'm not preve owner yet.. But highly possible will become owner in coming.
