You surely travel a lot clocking 79,000km in less than 3 years. When I sold off my previous car after using it for 5 years 1 month, the mileage is only around 51,000km.

Sorry to hear about the engine problem in your Preve Turbo. No such problem with the engine yet (touch wood) but the transmission in my car, also a Preve Turbo is acting erratically weird these days with an occasional loud "woo woo" sound coupled by rough jerky acceleration which I think is due to the Synthium 1000 engine oil. Other than the CVT performing under expectations, no major issues.

Since your car is still under warranty, just let the service centre fixed it. You don't need to worry about the "solution" since the SC will fix it for you, though you can ask what might have caused the engine problem or the leakage. Whether it is due to wear and tear or something else.

Do u start the car under the proper method ?

yup.

insert key
wait all lampu panel padam
push the button
wait again all panel lampu padam then press brake
when start button lampu turning green push the button to start engine

Guys, 16 in or 17 in wheel?

guys, sorry for too many questions and update:

but my average speed is 29kmph and fuel 9.3l/100km.

not too bad to me. the car is 600km mileage

is this good enough or still bad?

where do you get this info? in the display screen? Mine I think is 15l/100km, average is 20kmh since I only use it for short distance ride, fetch son to school. 1 way trip only 5km.

yes in the info console

ok, my FC too high, I was thinking its due to the speed since i cannot accelerate much due to the traffic and short distance.

slowly. CFE can reach 720 km one full tank. consistent travel 110kmph. with luggage and two person should be can reach 650~720 mark. 7.6l/100km.

now I maximum push most of the time 120~160~180~200 sometimes getting 380~450km full tank. so mileage is high at 9.6l/100km

Yes, i do travel a lot between Nilai and Penang. The thing is, i just serviced my car few days before the trip. Change front brake pad, power steering oil, and also using shell fully synthethic engine. Also a day before that, radiator fan not functioning causing the engine to overheat. Stop the car and then send it to Proton SC Nilai. They ketuk ketuk the fan and it start to spin again. They said if want to replace need to replace the whole panel and no spare part at that time. Adoi. So i decided to proceed with the long journey to Penang as i have work to do and it turns out that my car broke down during the journey. Bad luck, wrong timing, poor decision making, i guess.

Same with my your FC around 380-450KM depends on type of road i drive. Max i go is 140 only though.

Full 100% city driving i am around 350KM and lesser.

Weird.

My only happen if i start directly by pressing the start button without all those procedure.

Happens maybe 2-3 out of 10 times. All these 2 and a half year thats the amount of times i start using direct press start, prolly 15-20 times.

as for me. that problem will occur when i go long journey. eg: rest at RnR and then start car, that time will have the problem. but in daily routine, don;t have that problem

Sorry you had a breakdown. I was told of the need to change oil hose as there was oil leak - not sure if it is the same part as yours - and put in request for the spare part. This was done at Klang Pantai Baru. 2 days ago I want for 50K service and they changed the part plus other things but all done under warranty. Yesterday went back to workshop as there was oil leak and they fixed it. Wasted 1/2 day because they did not do it right the first time.

Mine is also Turbo and it is 2012. I think there is a standing instruction to change this part so maybe you guys with this model should check with Proton.

whenever you go to SC, please ask them to check any electronic fault. my case almost similar, they change some EBCM part.

free labour only last to 12 mths? if 3rd service after 12 mths then voucher voided?

huhuhu

Any news on preve fl?

If you are using the newer BLAUPUNKT HU with GARMIN GPS, you can download the latest free GARMIN map data from the MalfreeMaps forum (http://www.malfreemaps.com/index.php?sid=d19b58513b62b950e53f82fd381c2cf4). You'll need to sign up as a member to be able to download the map data. Do appreciate their work by giving a word of thanks thereafter.

a. Execute the downloaded file on your PC by referring to the installation instructions on their forum website.

b. After the successful execution, the file "gmapsupp.img" will be created in the "c:\Garmin\Malfreemaps" folder (default setting).

c. Copy this file "gmapsupp.img" into your MicroSD card in the "Garmin" folder.

d. Rename the 2 existing files "gmapprom.img" and gmapprom1.img" on the MicroSD card to "gmapprom.old" and "gmapprom1.old" respectively.

e. Rename the copied file "gmapsupp.img" to "gmapprom.img".

Insert the MicroSD card into the BLAUPUNKT HU and run the GARMIN GPS. It should be using the updated map data from Malfreemaps. You can also reconfirm the map data version from the "Map Set" option in the GARMIN GPS software.

The above had worked for me. Caveat Emptor. Try at your own risk, albeit minimal because should it doesn't work, then just delete the renamed "gmapprom.img" file and revert the original 2 files with the ".old" extension back to their original ".img" extension.

Hey guys~~i have changed my engine mounting (to the new design one via warranty) last Friday~~

and i would like to stress that it is really a huge difference~~and i agree with what a fellow forumer said, WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH SO MUCH VIBRATION PREVIOUSLY~~

Highly recommended~~!!

What to do, Preve is the testbed for Suprima

Seksyen 13, is it? I will go there. What excuse to say to them?
