QUOTE(sAm fIsher @ Jul 16 2014, 11:31 AM) hi all sifus here. did u check the manual gear shift release when u took your car. i did and found that i was not able to shift to any other gear when 'cucuk'ing the release button. when i told this to SC, the rep told me that is normal for preve which is unlike any normal car. he said need to start car 1st, then cucuk n change gear. sounds very funny for me. do u experience the same? or the method i used was wrong. read the manual a few times on that. You mean the shift lock release? at the bottom of the gearstick? |

QUOTE(sharpex @ Jul 18 2014, 10:08 AM) i'm not sure. go a few SC last monday since I on leave that day. Have you tried Proton Edar SCs instead of authorized SCs?1st SC : After checking, they suspect brake disk/brake pad problem. But advise me to go to Shah Alam because my ODO below 400km 2nd SC (Shah Alam HQ) : Need to make an appointment since its a peak time for servicing (Hari Raya). Earliest is Wednesday (But I can't go since got urgent meeting). 3rd SC (Glenmarie) : Need to make an appointment. Earliest is next Tuesday. 4th SC (shah alam, Random SC i use GPS) : Not even checking my car. When I say got helicopter sound, they advise go to SC HQ. They mention its a claim problem and the stock is not ready. Well, I decide to go back, and wait after hari raya only make an appointment at HQ. The receptionist at SC HQ did mention, small SC never want to take the responsibilities. Ayat dia lebih kurang macam ni. "Buat apa kami lantik dia jadi SC kami kalau diorang tak nak ambil kes?" There is no such thing as below 500km, must go SC HQ. |

QUOTE(ChuanHong @ Jul 18 2014, 10:37 AM) feel sad to heard so many minor problem from users.. also worry about my new preve.. hmm have to check see whether got problem in coming.. but for the test drive unit, i did experienced the "helicopter" braking sound.. since is new 2014 unit, i hope its just new braking pad, and disc.. so hopefully my car have no this issue.. *Finger cross* I'd rather pay RM73k for minor quality problems, instead of paying the same for less safety or pay over RM100k for gearbox problem.This post has been edited by dares: Jul 18 2014, 12:43 PM |

QUOTE(ZeroHavoc @ Jul 28 2014, 10:09 AM) In simplified terms, Euro3 is cleaner than Euro2 fuel, for both the engine and the environment.In Malaysia, only BHP is Euro3, the rest are Euro2. In the meantime, the rest of the world has moved on to Euro5 This post has been edited by dares: Jul 28 2014, 10:13 AM |

QUOTE(kulatkia @ Aug 1 2014, 10:51 PM) Just curious after 2 weeks is SA still responsible on this type of matter? My one superb... I found my front boot scratches(confirmed induce before car delivery) after 3 days and ask for claim, who know my SA said I didn't claim during car delivery so it's my own issue... So no choice I had signed the paperwork and acknowledged car in good condition during car collection so I blame no one... But to b honest if you need very details check during car delivery at least you have to spend few hours there with SA, to me this gonna b bored n shame, dun u agree me? This SA is clearly not looking for repeat business from his customers.My Proton SA would drive to his customer's house and collect the car and send to it the SC for repairs. I know about this from his other customer who discovered the defects right after he collected the car and went home. Too bad the dealership has since changed ownership and the SA has resigned and is now working in the used car business. |

QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 8 2014, 11:59 AM) Checked my Preve at the shop. 100% OK. Engine is not as loud as I expected (maybe I was comparing it with my old Wira! Ha). It should be a RAMCAR brand maintenance-free wet battery, not dry battery.Cannot find any crack or rusty spot on the car. Good. But found a wet battery in the Preve while expecting a dry battery as I learnt from one friend in the forum that his has a dry battery. Asked the head of service there and he said normally it is wet battery. Can you check whether yours is wet or dry battery? Have to wait till Tuesday to get my car as JPJ is not open on Sat and some excise duty issue. Cheerio. This post has been edited by dares: Aug 8 2014, 12:05 PM |

QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 16 2014, 01:22 PM) BB It meant don't run the windscreen washer fluid pump (that sprays water on your windscreen) continuously for 20 seconds. Why you wanna spray water on your windscreen when it is raining? page 81 "4. Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds." ==> Big problem when the rain is for more than 20 seconds then! Ha. I think they are referring to a certain condition where the 20 seconds condition applies. But what condition? Dry windscreen? QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 16 2014, 01:22 PM) Not the same. Waxing applies a thin layer of wax to protect your paint against the elements. Polishing grinds of a thin layer of clearcoat to restore the surface gloss and remove shallow scratches.When you do wax and polish at a detailing shop, the polishing comes before the wax. QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 16 2014, 01:22 PM) page 134 "The spare wheel for this vehicle is of a different size to those fitted to your car and should only be used temporarily." Smaller spare tire occupy less space in the boot. If you put a full size tire in the spare tire compartment, the boot floor will need to be raised.==> My first reaction - why? Stupid idea! BUT after thinking about it for awhile, it is a good strategy. I assume the proper wheel is more expensive than this spare wheel. So why pay for an expensive wheel which will be just sitting there until needed? Ya, you need it for a flat tyre. The cheaper spare wheel can also be used for the flat tyre scenario. After x years, you will need to replace the spare tyre even when it has not been used. Cheaper with the above strategy. QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 16 2014, 01:22 PM) HH Mach 5 is mineral oil. Syntium is Semi Synthetic. In layman terms, mineral is suitable for 5k km oil-change interval, while semi synthetic can lasts 10k km.page 161 " SAE 10W-30". ==> Mach 5 is 15W-40, a higher spec than the required 10W-30. Why then some of our friends here use synthium etc? For better protection, longer mileage before oil change? QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 16 2014, 01:22 PM) Is it necessary to switch off the ac first before switching off the engine? It's not necessary to switch off AC before switching off the engine. But it is advisable NOT to start the engine with the AC already on. This is to avoid the compressor loading the engine upon startup. Consequently most people just switch off the AC when shutting off the car.Need to remove CD from the player before switching off the engine? Or OK to leave it in there by switching off the engine? Also there is no need to remove the CD. This post has been edited by dares: Aug 16 2014, 01:44 PM |

QUOTE(plumberly @ Aug 16 2014, 06:03 PM) Just checked the spare wheel as I wanted to ensure that the pressure is at the required 4 bars. Yes, it is normal for non proton cars as well.They say it is smaller. By smaller, I thought they were referring to tyre's width (narrower). I stood it side by side against the normal wheel. It is about an inch shorter! Now imagine putting that spare wheel on, the car will be tilted at one corner! Now I cannot understand why they use this smaller wheel and not the same size wheel as the rest. Or is this the norm for other non Proton cars? Thanks. |
