well, that depends. if the Preve is manufactured after May 2013, then the Preve gets more things, like 6 airbags, ESP and TC. WHile the Manual Preve is down in power, but it is very fun to drive, especially when trashed.

the figure on the SID is never accurate because those figures are variable all the times.

Best is to calculate manually, ie Distance traveled divided by Liters (amount of petrol poured in (RM)/1.9)

1st complain : Cant check anything. Cant duplicate problem. Let me go.

2nd complain : They felt the brake is hard after 2nd or 3rd time pump. "Oh!ini macam punya ini design. Hanya suprima atau latest exora ada additional mechanical pump. You punya takde." Tested with this service advisor and pomen under hot sun few rounds, same problem. i got fedup and left, without anything done.

3rd complain : Things got worst. My wife nearly hit wall. My colleague who went to fill up my petrol complained, nearly overshot a stop look go into middle of main road. My self reversed into a zinc wall.(Lucky zinc) Sent back to the same place, but diff service advisor. Rupa rupanya, it is a common case there, and they still havent found solution. Only told me, they will order a solenoid valve for the engine idling issue(???), to test. And the brake, can retrofit as suprima, but rm1.6k

I got real shot up! Told him to give me a proper explaination next week. If no, i am bringing this matter down kl.
*in between, there are some cvt problems. But after numerous time of "resetting", changing ATF oil cures it. But car is extremely sluggish now. If not i converted this car into the company account, i already dumped this. Now have to hold on to this car for another year or two.

what oil they change again? shocking.gif

yes, but I am also confused why *sometimes* during reversing the brake pedal gets hard. Sometimes only, so its hard to replicate the issue

most of the time it happens when it is the first time the engine is started for the day, especially on morning? hmm.gif

The VT3+ is just improved version of VT3 gearbox with more sound dampening material to reduce whining noise and also a stronger component for overall gearbox longevity. Doesn't related with Hill Hold Assist.

CFE lah syiok. biggrin.gif

CPS is naturally aspirated whereas CFE is turbocharged. So it has more torque and the power delivery comes earlier and lugging the heavy body isnt an issue. biggrin.gif

My EB 2012 March, odo 48k km, and fully service at Proton SC

Where is that hose located? I cant detect the leak, but can confirm leak at the lower part of the engine at right side of the car  hmm.gif Does proton provide towing service if within warranty period?
Well my mum said she detect rough noise at bangi, and she drove all the way back to kinrara. The shell bearing must already be heavily damaged and needs to be replaced. I guess i wont see my EB for 1 week at least  hmm.gif

when campro is new, the method of break in is crucial. Kalau break in macam pondan then power pun macam pondan and fuel drink macam no tomorrow.

even if put in N also, not recommended to tow/roll the front wheels. It will damage some sort of bearing in the CVT box.

Therefore, DO NOT DO on wheel balancing.

I bought a flip key for EB online. Just need to go duplicate your key teeth at a keysmith, then transfer over all the components of the remote (board, battery, immobiliser chip) into the designated slots in the flip key biggrin.gif

Warning : Image heavy
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I think the flip key feels significantly more solid in the hand than the original EB key. The flip key has quite an amount of heft compared to the hollow plasticky feel of the original key.

Plus can show off the flip key mechanism to friends just because it looks fancy  brows.gif  brows.gif

nice.

I also prefer to change to flip key because I dont want my pockets to have holes.
