My premium preve got problem with side mirror. I can't fold and unfold the side mirror using the button. Currently under investigation at kepong proton sc. Already replace harness and sw unit.

Yours is a 2014 Preve?

I thought harness & SW replacements are only for the older Preve.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Proton or SC informed you to change? I have not heard anything from them on this. Will check with my SA.

Alarm Lock and Unlock no sound, only have lamp flash. is that normal ?
**** Same here. That is the design for Preve. Initially took me some time to get used to it as I was using Wira for 13 years (used to the beep and beep beep sound). Now just look at the back light or the closing side mirror to confirm that it has locked.

At driver seat the windows glass console, when i press driver seat windows up something push up the console abit, when press down it back to normal position.
*** I also feel something is moving inside the window panel, something inside pressing against the panel cover. Did not ask the SC to fix that as I was afraid that they might create more problems when fixing this. Ha.

May i go SC tomorrow to fix it ? any good SC to recommend ? i live around batu caves.

My Preve Turbo is about 2 months old now. Ever since I got it, I get one or two beep sound while reversing and with nothing at the back.

Why?

My suspect is the orientation of the 2 sensors at the back where rain water can collect and sit at one side, triggering the sensor.

Anyone with similar reverse beep sound?

Thanks.

Learnt from a friend that the tyre pressures can affect the ESC mechanism (my ESC has triggered 3 times, non blinking).

Went to set the pressures at 22 (front) and 21 (back) as stated in the manual. They were set higher before my adjustment at about 30.

I think now the steering is easier and smoother. And the drive is smoother as well. Ha. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me! Ha.

Try it and see if you see the same.

No, I did not push to 300. I think it was around 300 before my adjustment. Better stick to 220 & 210.

Just curious to know, like to know the km/day range in the group here (total km traveled/ no of days since registration).

Mine is 32 km/d.

Let us see who has the highest and lowest. I can be one of the lowest. Ha.

Syn7k and Syn5k sharing the same price which is RM250

Thanks. I paid RM190 for S1000.

Asking myself whether I should go for Synthium 3000 or 5000 for my next service.

250-190 = RM60 extra.

For 6 months use period, that is RM60/6 = RM10 /month extra.

Worth doing this? Ha.

Either I go for Syn 800 or Syn 3000, no Syn 1000 for me.

Lets see how this new Syn7000 performs, but I'm going to be honest, the engine is now definitely quieter compared to before smile.gif

Wondering why you said no to S1000.

Tolong .....

You can request from them to buy SYn 700 for you. Perhaps make the request 1 week before you are due for service. I've just switched to Syn 7000 from Syn 5000 0W30. I think for the next service I'd change back to Syn 5000 0W30. 0W30 is thinner, and revs easier. I also rarely rev >4,000 rpm. That's why I think I might change back to 0W30.

But since I've only used Syn 7000 for 300 km, compared to 59,000 km with SYn 5000 0W30, I might change my mind. BTW I don't feel much difference in engine smoothness, quietness and FC between Syn 7000 and Syn 5000 0W30. Only the revving part (due to 0W40 vs 0W30).
*
Like many others, I have been asking myself which one should I use for my next service.

My current plan is Synthium 1000. Why? These 2 main considerations:

* my mileage is on the low side, about 30-40 km /day
* my maximum speed is at most 90 kph

With the above 2 attributes, the engine oil temp should not be on the high side. Higher temp will break down the EO. I think the S3000/5000/7000 are more resistance to high temp breakdown than Mach 5 or S800/1000. But with my driving habits, I think S3000/5000/7000 are just too good for me.

So S1000 and maybe S3000 to treat myself once in a blue moon! Ha.

Cheerio.

Currently my mileage is 6800km. For the 1st service I poured shell helix semi synthetic.In the sticker they put 6000km for the 2nd service. This time i plan to pour full synthetic but then wen i called and ask the SC to book date and also regardign topup on engine oil since im having voucher the person told me 10000km only I can use the voucher. Which means should i wait till 10000km? Any idea why the previous SC put 6km although i rejected the mach5 mineral oil and poured semi synthetic. Sifu;s help
*
First, I am no sifu.

My suggestions:

* find out what is normal mileage for Helix semi synthetic. 5k, 10k?
* the 6k written on the sticker is the sticker they put on the wind screen right? And not the sticker from Helix, right?

If Helix ss is ok for 10K km mileage (I assume you used that at your 1000 km service), then I suggest to do your next service at 10k km.

If Helix ss cannot do 10k km, then do another service at 6k km using Helix or Mach 5. At 10k km service, change to the full synthetic EO you want.

Cheerio.

P/S Whatever you do the servicing, get the agreement from the SC as not to loose your warranty.

Syn 5000/7000 are more resistant to temp, yes. It's base stock oil is PAO aka Group IV oil. The most extreme temp comes from driving at high speed, then suddenly met with traffic jam where the traffic moves extremely slowly. In that situation the cooling system is not efficient.
- the only airflow is air being blown by the radiator fan (because the car is not moving fast enough)
- the air "cooling" the radiator are hot air, coming from the exhaust of cars all around you, stuck in the same traffic jam.

This situation happens everyday in KL, so using such expensive oil do have some merit. Even then it is not required or necessary, just for extra protection. In your case where you rarely have traffic jam, the Syntium 800 or 3000 is good enough.

Why not Syntium 1000? The viscosity is 15W50, which is a thick oil. It may lead to high FC or the engine not working optimally. However Proton makes no warning of its use.

Contrast that to my Honda Accord iVTEC . The manual specifically mentions NOT to use engine oil thicker than 5W40 as it may interfere with the operation of the variable valve timing.

NB: @mengsuan is using Syntium 1000, he is in KL and he finds it just fine. So you might want to try it

Noted and thanks.

I thought Preve Turbo has an auto cut in for cooling if the EO temp is too high.

P/S I am using S1000 after my 1000km service.

hi just want some opinion..
is it worth getting used preve cfe year 2012 coz that price is quite affordable to me..as it will be my first car..n will most probably use on weekend getaway..really appreciate your comment..tq
*
My 2 cents:

* test drive the 2012 car and also the latest Preve
* get the 2 prices
* list down the problem areas of the used car

With the above (among others), then decide whether the used car is worth the money compared to the new car.

The Preve I used to test drive is a 2012 model. Noisey, vibration. They lent me the demo car again recently when I went there to service my car. Feel that the demo car is not as solid as my new Preve, body lighter?

All the best.

I dun remember there is auto cut if EO temp too high, it should be for CVT oil temperature instead.
I have been using mach5 10w30 lately, after two bottles of syn3000, I found it quite good.

mach5 10w30 + nanolub, not bad.

I read something on the additional cooling in the manual. Maybe I read it wrongly saying it is the turbo part. Let me find it in the manual.

Hope that you can help me.

For those where either

* husband/boyfriend uses wife/girlfriend's car

or

* wife/girlfriend using husband/boyfriend's car

which one are you using now (NOT what you think is the better solution but what you have been using)

AA.....do not adjust the mirror (side or rear), leave them as they are
BB.....adjust to suit your height
CC.....adjust slightly to suit your height but still adequate for your partner

I find it annoying having to adjust the mirror frequently.

Thanks.
