Help needed, going to change my ori tyre after 45k mileage.. only one tyre botak, dunno why  rclxub.gif

Does Preve Exec need to add camber nut for alignment?

Any tyre recommendation for low budget tyre?  notworthy.gif
*
for camber nut, I advise you not to change. as these nuts are under warranty, hence i you change it, it will void your warranty. some shop maybe advise you to change. I have experienced this and I said that my car is still under warranty, and the alignment is not so bad, they did not change it. just I have to rotate the tyres once in a while.

My car next months 3 years but only done 45k mileage but enquire the service charge is around 1k+. Have to change plug, gear box oil n gear oil filter, engine oil n filter n not yet include gst bcos due service date 2-4-15 maybe go before gst
*
if you want to avoid gst, you could always send your car for services maybe slightly before 45k. maybe around 0.5k before the actual milage set.

I have aldy done 45k n how to go reverse, bcos its 3 years or 60k whichever come first thats why have to change so many thing

i misunderstood your statement. so in the next months your car's warranty will be expired based on 3 years warranty. after warranty, you can opt to service your car outside to reduce the cost. or you can minimize and plan the services since the warranty is out already. iinm.

thought there were more simple plan than finding other service centers  sweat.gif
1 of the COE call centre guy ask me to camp there without appointment, but i don't dare take the risk since i need to take an off day for this..

Anyway, next choice should be Proton SC Dealer Apple Auto i guess?  hmm.gif
*
there are hundreds of SC you could go to. My personal recommendation would be SC Pantai Bharu in Klang. and I heard SC Intan Matang in Shah Alam is pretty good too.

Look like photoshop picture. If not, probably just prototype model in COSE.

guys, wanna ask something,

sometimes my car when I want to start it, either in cold (in the morning) or hot (after ride) it got hard to start. The RPM will ramp up to >1000rpm before going to to <1000rpm and died off. But only happened sometimes and not regularly.

I am sending my car to 60k services soon, and would like to address this problem. What is the cause of the problem? is it the timing belt setting, or throttle body? my friend said it caused by the throttle body.

I had that problem few months ago. Sent to SC, they cleaned the throttle body, but still occurred. Then cleaned VVT solenoid, became better but sometimes still require 2 tries to start.

Mysteriously, this problem went away by itself. I don't know why either.

where did you send your car to? I have appointment with Apple Auto this week, hope they can solve it.

I recently sent my car to Apple Auto for 60k (major) service. Made appointment few days before the actual day.

I arrived at the SC around 10 minutes before 10am. Service start around 10am as per scheduled. Easy to deal with the advisor. I just told him that I just want to follow the schedule maintenance, nothing less and nothing more. And it is just what they did. You can also hang around the service bay to see your car being service. I also talked with the technician on the conditions of my car.

Total time taken was 2 hours (plus car wash). Probably will return to the centre for next service.

Thanks for your reply. My replies r the underlined parts. I hope an executive auto user can shed some light as well smile.gif

1. FC for Preve is quite vary. You can go from 6.+l/100km (highway) to 12l/100km (city centre). So it depends on your location and your driving style. I would say it still acceptable, not really bad, but cannot really compete with city and vios.

2. If you were to drive thru Genting Sempah, should not be a problem. Just a piece of cake with Preve. But if you're going to Genting Highland, I'm not really sure myself. Haven't tried before.

3. Pick up is not that good, due to the weight of the car (14++kg iinm). But when you can familiarize with the car, you shouldn't have problem to increase your speed after traffic light.

Exec Auto user here. Loving it since day 1. biggrin.gif
