I think you need to join the group first


Tan Ong Tee Kuang‎[PREVOC] - Proton Prevé Owners Club
My driver seat is making noise, I open it up and spray some lubes, the noise went away.

The link is not death....i think is the restriction as you are not joining that club yet.

On the whole metal with WD-40 ~

the link is working for me~~

i suggest you put grease..

wdd40 will dry up and the problem will pop out again

grease can tahan lama... very long lasting..

Grease? .. I'm wondering will the grease applied get oiling the cushion after this or not? Up to today I dare not try yet, but the annoying sound really really bother me while driving.. Temporarily increase my speaker volume to cover it...

So this noise from the driver's seat, looks like there are some owners here who experience the same thing.

May i ask if there is anyone who does not have this noise from the driver's seat IN ORIGINAL CONDITION? I am curious to know if there is a defect or design flaw in the driver's seat.

seriously i dont have any sound from driver seat.. i do got sound from rear passenger seat before but solved afterward.. coz it cant close properly before.. so adjust a bit.. now can close properly ady but need a bit power to close like throw the seat back to the position.. i paste tape on the steel as well.. guarantee no more sound..

for front passenger really no sound for my case

THanks for the response. Since you car is new, touch wood, there may not be any sound from the driver's seat yet. For my vehicle, when I got the car brand new, there was already sound from the back seat, a knocking sound which went away by itself after I adjusted the seat couple of times(open, close, open and close again).

For the driver's seat, for the first 1,000km mileage there wasn't any sound. I think the sound came up when the mileage was around 3,000km+ or so. I complained to the SC once and they didn't replace the seat but adjusted something. When I took the car, I was so happy that the sound was gone, but the next day the sound came back. I arranged for another appointment, and in this 2nd appointment they changed the seat to a brand new seat. I have to wait for about 1 month for the stock to arrive at the service centre.

After changing to the new seat, there wasn't any sound at first but after about 1,500km the sound came up again.

oo.. sorry to hear that.. but hopefully mine own dont have..

Can I know how to unzip the driver seat cover?

Yes, touch wood. The Preve Turbo is generally quite a nice decent car to drive with decent acceleration power although the sound from the engine during acceleration can appear to be slightly loud.

i would say mostly car will got sound even new camry when u press pedal a bit.. just depend how far u can accept..

Hi guys, anyone could help for follows question?

1. My car has no any warning sound while I turn to reverse gear, is it normal?
Only got beep sound while sensor detect any object close to bumper.

2. Last Tuesday I claim disc brake warranty since got helicopter sound. After that I found there's vibration while drive at 120KM/H, it should be balancing issue right?
Will changing disc brake cause this issue?
If do so, any chance that I could claim free balancing service?

3. The free service voucher, can use for EO only? I think I got extra since I seldom use the car, don't think can finish all the voucher within 36 months. Wonder could I use it for such balancing, alignment or any others jobs.

My is 2014 ANCAP Manual Version, mileage 2.5k, 1 month car.
Thank you.

Absolutely no front seat sound on my wife's Preve CFE just touching a year old
The only issue we had with the car was a slight creaking sound at back seat. In its first week was recticified within an hour at service center . Till today no more such sound
And all the other problems as reported here we do not faced too .
Sometimes issues are due to different batches of supporting materials . If it is design issue all cars will be affected

LOL, I've the same issue as you, then told SC, they seem configure something but not sure what's that. Because while I told the SA, he say is normal to preve, nth can do. then I watch the technician take computer link to my car for configuration. After that the pickup is much better. Previously 1st gear need 1.2 - 1.5k only can move. But now 0.7k rpm can move the car already.
But my jerking problem seem still there. While idling there's a chance my engine jerking and like going mati.
Try my best communicate with SA here, but seem he not really understand.

Another thing, my balance run also after back from SC= =wonder is their mistake or what.
If full car balancing I think is not cheap. Thinking to ask them for free.
Don't know is possible or not


I got the same issue
Any solution yet?
What I do is restart the player, or reconnect phone. Usually restart player.
Both can solve the issue.


bro, as I estimated, I think for light user like me couldn't finish all the free service voucher within 36 months. if using 5k EO(3months) for first 3 service then the rest 10k EO(6months).
Any idea how to optimize the usage?
Due to the SA suggest, so I use MACH5 for my 1st service. Damn heavy for preve to use Mineral Oil.


My rim got scratch a bit also. Just worry will it become rusty?
Thinking solution yet, if don't care the looks, I plan to use wetsand to make it smooth then find some touch up paint for it. Just need to find a similar color code for our rim.
Anyone know the color code of our rim??

Any photo to share how to solve rear seat?
My seem solved after back from SC, but I dare not to fold it down again.
Worry can't lock properly by myself.
SA claim that I didn't lock hard enough although I really lock very hard already.

hi want to check, if i wish to install lock pad inside my car, will it void any warranty? the lock pad once lock will not able to press any pedal and car will not startup.

Alloy rims won't rust.

Doing some reading to decide which engine oil to use for my first service. Now it is either Synthium 1000 or 3000.

Noted something on the effect of engine oil on the engine noise.

All PETRONAS API SM lubricants are specially formulated to meet OEM requirements, including those of hydraulic-valve engine. The most suitable lubricants viscosity SAE grade for this type of engine is SAE 15W50. [/B]The higher viscosity prevents noise at the “tappet” especially when the car is stationery. Although the noise is not harmful to the engine, it is not desirable.

See if you can notice the different engine noise when you change to a different oil grade.

Cheerio.
