Hey, I have an issue here before i go for some checking in the service center.

I own a non-turbo auto preve.

Just recently, I can here a heavy sound "clak" for everyt time of approaching the first 40km/h after a cold start.
I've been observing this for approx 3 weeks already. There will be no other sound after this situation until another cold start, it would repeat.
I wonder what is the problem, did u guys have this kind of problem and how u guys deal with it?
*
One time clak is normal. Mine is about 20 km/h.

Hi, can someone tell if we install Locktech on preve CFE, does it will void the warranty?

tq..
*
Upon retrieving my Persona and Preve, I have been approached by Locktech agent. I was told no issues on warranty.

I did not install on any on my cars, it was a direct rejection for my Preve. Preve gets 5 star ANCAP rating at the point of test. With a metal rod near the leg, no one can be sure if the car is still so crash-worthy as specifications. Just my personal fear.

Your starter don't leak any fluids. The black thing is probably carbon powder. The carbon come from motor's carbon brush

Can you check if it's oily?

It doesn't look like oil to me especially the spread on the starter itself. Should be ok.

Yes, that's why I'm consider and compare with Suprima S. Just the cons, the plastics gear knob. IMO Preve dashboard panel looks more exclusive compared to Suprima S. What about you guys?

does preve premium comes with reverse sensor or cam?
*
The gear knob can be changed. RM180+.

No reverse camera, only reverse sensor. HU supports reverse camera, can be installed fairly easily.

I'm using Preve LE. I bought it instead of Suprima S because of its looks and the car itself is comparable to Suprima S.

Is Preve LE HU same as Preve CFE HU? Or like Suprima HU?
*
Preve CFE HU

QUOTE(spikee7 @ Mar 18 2014, 05:09 PM)
donno, maybe the price they already cut down their profit potion i think..
for 4k discount, is it 2014 or 2013 car?
to choose between 2013 or 2014 really depend on your preference if both specs are the same...
but for preve, get the latest 2014 better...
one question, ur LE got those head light leveling switch?
*
No, my LE does not have levelling switch, even the light is without levelling feature.

I know many who dislike Preve "fake wood" trim laugh.gif  laugh.gif
They prefer the one in Suprima, but now you say the opposite? biggrin.gif

Oh, btw, Suprima Exec is using 16" Rim as the tyres, only Premium Suprima uses 17" Rims.
And ask around seller here, I got quoted 17" tyres much cheaper than the price you thought it would. below RM300 is possible. Below RM600 is also possible.
Rabak poket only by choice, you can choose which tyres you want smile.gif

The only thing I don't like about the wood panel is that it's too glossy and attracts dust like nobody's business.
*
Use furniture spray like Pledge. Dust won't attract. Can also try some anti static spray.

Proton should highlight this features. People doesn't know this features was available... Preve doesn't come with auto brake lock right? They said that international safety standard and they have to remove that features.
*
There is a improved version of auto lock on Preve. It no longer lock upon brake trigger. It locks depending on speed

Hi Guys, I seem to have problems with my Reverse Auto.  Car doesn't seem to want to move after engaging.  Sent it just 3 days after getting the car and SA said they "calibrated" the gears.  But now still the same.
Any advise?
*
Got any slope? Clutch based gearbox behaves differently from conventional automatic. I do feel it's harder to let the car creep in reverse, like how I used to drive, but it is normal.

No, no slope.  Even on even ground sometimes it just doesn't move until you press down on the accelerator. 
Ok, I presume this is normal.  Man, what a way to find out.  I seriously thought I had a defected auto gear box
*
Yup, this is normal. The reverse clutch does not disengage until there is enough throttle, in many situation.

is correct bro , interest calculated per year . if you loan 7 year mean  60x2.9% (1yr interest )  x 7 =  7yr interest  ,  plus the loan amount that is the total u need to pay .

btw , 70k for CFe ? so less discount  rclxub.gif
*
Then last year actually got discount for Preve LE or not? I paid a full RM 79688 without discount. sad.gif

Not sure if the SA just get the newer ANCAP batch, add skirting, change rim and seat. laugh.gif

If one goes to CoSE to enquire to purchase Preve LE, Proton will say there's no more. Go to outside SA, somehow there always is some.

Guys any of you replaced the cabin filter?
How to replace the filter?
Replaced the whole thing or just add another filter with it?
*
The original filter is plastic mesh, can be washed.

I added a paper filter on top of it.
