Anybody feels the car going through humps.. feels like engine dropping off?

I mean you have to really slow down the car a lot.. although the impact is still to be felt.

Hi Guys,

I have a situation here. My previous Service was on 5,000km and I used the Synthetic Oil which makes my next Service is on 15,000km.

Currently my car had travelled a total of 12,000km. And few days back, I was flipping through the service record, and noticed that SC suppose to inspect the battery, brake plate, etc at 10,000km. I am not sure the previous 5,000km, whether the SC had perform the inspection.

Do I have to bring my car to SC to get those parts inspected? As per attachment (Pro-Basic) found in this forum, I think till 40,000km it will be just only the Black Oil Replacement?

Appreciate for a prompt reply as I'm planning to drive for a long distance tomorrow  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

hi mate,
i think it should be no problem, maybe u can call sc for confirmation

i just share my experience,
as i remembered, my service is at 1k, 5k, 10k, 15k,20k,25k, 30k using semi oil
at 35k service i insisted to use fully and interval mileage is 10k, but they say it will be issue if the service interval at 45k, 55k, 65k and so on.. (probably documentation issue on major service which is at 60k)
so they suggest me to service at 40k and then start using fully oil which the interval will 50k, 60k and so on.
hope this could help you somehow.

I think it's due to its rather firm suspension, that's why it handles steadily during cornering as you feel the road feedback more thro the steering...if you drive on a smooth road and yet steering vibrates then you need to be a little worried

i dont think so..
now mine become more worse.
maybe i try take some video
if there is something then i try to post it here

i have a question here,,,knw first tat i'm not anti proton,,i don't do butt dyno,ketuk2 for reliability or hoping sports performance on these cars.Priority of making car should always be like this as customer:safety(active<=passive))>reliability>efficiency>usability(market targeted)>performance...With that said,in my opinion neither perodua or proton have been producing really bad but good cars for the money n improved a lot(in detail,yes),,,i don't just do some barbarian styled evaluation.

However,this proton preve seems to be overrated to me.Considering it's price,performance,safety.It is EXCELLENT(having everythin under 1 package is engineers challange).
Well,crash test seems to be good.Engine is good.But there goes a story about engine efficiency.Many sites including proton Official site claims preve passes Euro Emission "5",WTF THIS IS TOTally unbelievab;e.Seriously i can't trust this men.
Here's like ,,"why' :honda vs preve.,,,think carefully pls>>lol,,pls
1.car weighs 1300kg.(heavy)..made with help of some guy from bmw(refer wiki+car curves,it do smell like bmw.    ,,then            honda city 2014 about 1050kg.

Both have cvt.
Both have good cayalytic converter.(assume honda's better because they tweak their own while proton use something on par with some good aftermarket stuff)
Both have cam profile(definitely vtec have better history n is on GM's top list,,it is a knwn winner).
Engine itself for sure honda made it better(not supporting this pricy rich kids car,,but Honda is GOOD,,engine,efficiecy,chassis,,they would have some fancy stuffs like..mmm..let say better aluminium application on engines(for weight saving)
Campro is dohc + honda is sohc(won't matter coz test of mpg is usually under 90kph,,,sohc still holds good power band)

The result on paper,,,f***  this:official 1 claims  around(non-cfe) 6.2l/100km other sites 7-8l/km

well,for honda(i believe they r not influenced by their government to tokok tambah in order to make it a globall car instead being monitor strictly(not that strict,i knw,cars nw day have some quality issues)--but it's official and any other result claims -5.7l/100km(lighter body of honda/preve is heavy,that's fine but it's 1.5l engine pack more power n torque).
Thus if  u understand how engines combustion efficiency effect Euro emission rating/How much green gas produced...less fuel per 100/km mean=better rating.(other factors like performance of catalytic converter are usually negligible n in this case is safe to be said equal)
How the hell does honda,which have better mpg does only have Euro emission of 2 while preve is '5"(more is better).Even ford's highly "fuel economy-focused" ford fiesta,some of them are only euro 3 n 4.But this not-so-fancy(it is good but...) engine +heavy body),achieves 5 n they even claim they have prepare it for future doh.gif (it looks like edge of it in terms of mpg)

PLs forgive for long post n forgive me if i'm being rude,,,but that's normal, whistling.gif ,Pls read carefully,,n explain to me because reading statitics alone,nothing shakehead.gif
No war pls,,. i would not like some replies from peeps who replies without them knw wat they r talking about,shouting,cursing,the statistic guy(robots),n pretty much,,pls,,stay away. vmad.gif

Other than that,the car sound perfect to me  wink.gif  wink.gif

I could not found this model, so I replace with battery NS70L model, is it this model suitable for preve cfe? need your opinion for this.

guys, on the first page of this thread, there is this item listed under common troubleshooting section:
4. ESC indicator failed. [Proceed to SC and replace the panel.]

Please may I know which post/thread was this discussed? I would like to read to understand this matter.
As my ESC indicator keep coming ON after few minutes of driving and then it wouldn't turn OFF until I killed the engine. Is that similar issue, or is mine unique?

maybe this could help u... cool2.gif

Hmm... I will try to find time to wash the car. Never washed it since I got the car, too lazy  blush.gif
But as a rule, I never wash the engine bay of all my cars. Did you wash it?

sorry to hear your ESC light came on. Did it go away by itself, or only after you stopped the engine?
*
i never wash engine bay.. just wipe using damp cloth
just do normal wash, and maybe there is sensor on each tyre..
what did i do after the esc light lit is to turn off esc, then proceed driving and drive carefully..
after reach destination stop engine and start again its gone...

eh means your issue and mine probably the same one.
ESC light came ON only after driving awhile right?
My SC told me is a faulty sensor at the steering wheel. I just say OK and let them try la.
Will pursue this until it gets resolved. Will try at least.

update here when complete fix at sc.
