sifu,
WTA, i'm so inconvenience about my driver seat, when driving sound of "erk erk" and some more my back can feel like inside seat that something is keeping hit on the cushion(during driving). anyone mind to educate what actually inside the seat and why it feel like something loosen inside the seat that cause this matter??? normal ke?? Thx!!

Don't know whether it's normal to others though I have encountered this several times before. You can literally feel something that is moving in the seat when your back is leaning on the seat, and when you rub your back on the seat there will be this "ngek ngek" or "erk erk" sound that you call it. First complaint and the guys at the service centre managed to get rid of this sound by adjusting something, but the sound came back the next day. After 2nd complaint they changed the seat to a brand new one. However, after about 2-3 months with the new seat, it is back to square one. The sound came back again, though it is not as serious as the "defective" older seat. The feeling of something moving in the seat is not as annoying, and the "ngek ngek" sound is not as loud. Still the sound is there.

I have come to accept the low quality of the fabric seat in this Preve Turbo, other than the loud engine/CVT sound during accceleration.

I found many reverse camera power is supplied by reverse light.
So once reverse light on, it will trigger the reverse camera to works.
It's the easiest way I know, so if do like that I think at least need some wire cutting in reverse light.

Dear all,
Please advise if there's any others method could work to supply reverse camera power.
Thank you.

U need go back SC since u using Syn 800 when come to 5k mileage? I thought next service should 10k instead? Mind to advise? My SA told me it will last up to 10k...btw I'm using Syn800.

You mean you got the helicopter noise 2 months later and still not fixed yet as you are too lazy to do it? Ha.

On vibration problem, what can they do to fix that? I hope it is not a major job.

In Sarawak, we get very little salesman discount. Only RM500 for me. Like to know what gifts can one get from car purchases? Free 1 tank petrol, umbrella, vouchers. What else?

Thanks.

My Fc. I just pump rm80 she'll into my car right after I received my car. And just drop to 2 bars just now. Check sid it show still got 176km to go. For me this turbo Fc is good. Why people say not good. It really depends on driver.

Currently driving highway and penang bridge. But most of time heavy jam for these 3 days. Between I do driving city only.

Wait coming Aug I will full driving highway to work only. Without any jam. Possible 2 to 3 traffic light stop only. I believe my preve turbo can achieve below 8/100km.

Thx.  I think I better get it change after 5k since most of the sifu here just give a same advice ... One more thing did anyone of you notice when u place you gear at P or N the rpm is even clock higher compared to D mode while car not moving. That mean I will b save bit fuel at mode D at traffic lights. Am I right? Thx again

Thanks.

Look very high tech and good quality, better than the RM50-100 cameras one can get from China.

Noted that it runs on 12 V. I thought there is a 6V socket in Preve. How do you then hook up this camera?

Thanks.

Thx.. You sound pro n I shouldn't just refer to RPM only instead...  Having to say after getting feedback from you guy regardless N,  P or D is just the same... Not much fuel saved but D mode is much better to our gear box sound  like... Thx again Sifus 

Good FC what...city drive very teruk!

can i exceed 1000km for 1000km service.. around 1100km..

Last night i couldn't start my engine. ( battery die )
just use my car about 1.5 years.
the battery lifespan really that short?

I'm about to buy PREVE CFE here are some question lingering in my head

-do it need third party voltage stabilizer for better performance and does it void warranty
-how about compare to Jazz S spec with lots of accessories and features taken out
-does the audio sound quality acceptable?
-is black ok, why less people buying black color
-if i change front grill does it void warranty - what will really void the warranty anyway
-it uses turbo, willl it cause problem in the long run? what about at constant high rev, is it stable enough
-is it worth the money or any other option should I consider considering the same amount of money

please advise. tired scrolling of 21version of the forum

re: overheating. I've driven Corona 2.0, Accord 2.0, Accord iVTEC 2.0 and now Preve. All cars will eventually have some overheating "moments". I my case all was at low speed & jam. Caused by failed or failing radiator fan. Never encountered overheating yet in the Preve, but with only 1 fan (compared to 2 radiator fans in Japs) I fear any overheating would be sudden and not leave you with much time to react.

Noted something strange when I went to JPJ to sort out the road tax & pink card for my old car. I took my foot off the pedal, the instant FC read 0 L/100KM.

How can it be 0 L even though I took my foot off the pedal as there is some fuel going to the engine?

Based on the above observation, I don't think they are using a flowmeter to measure the petrol going to the engine but using the pedal position to estimate.

How accurate is this FC then? Has anyone cross checked this FC reading? I will do it over 5 petrol topping up. KM traveled and petrol added to the tank.

Reading the manual and found some surprises in there and also some questions for the sifus here to help. Will do that this weekend.

Cheerio.

Strange, I can swear that the engine was still running when I took my foot off the pedal.

Maybe the engine was running on battery? Don't think so.

Will find out more to improve my driving and FC. Ha.

Got my Car yesterday!



Helicopter sound as usual.. 

****
But i need to clarify one thing,

Im facing reverse difficulties as in when i try to reverse, it seems like you really have to press down the paddle quite a lot before the car start reversing. I must say its actually not steep at all! 

Is this normal or i should bring this up to SC?

Im in D mode, going down the hill, my RPM went up and dragg my car.
I have to brake the car halfway and all the way down the hill??

I dont think putting N mode downhill is a good idea. @.@"

Thanks Sifus in advance!
