My preve cfe got problem yesterday. I can't stop the engine. Push the button so many times. But the engine won't stop. So I go out from the car and left the car. After 2-3 minutes later I came back to my car and push the button. Luckily the engine stop. I'm still wondering what was actually happen to my car. Mine is 2014 model.

Wanna ask if preve cfe come with security tint for 4 windows only? We need to install the windscreen and rear screen ourself?

To Preve Turbo owners. When reversing the car up a steep slope, does the engine automatically shut down?

Yesterday I reversed the car up a steep slope when doing a parallel parking. The engine died. I switched it on and continued reversing up the steep slope, and the engine died again. And I have to switch the engine on again.

Is this something that is normal? I am beginning to think it is.

Around how much km you can go from full tank ?

How about the fuel consumption if compare Premium and Executive ?

Found out that my dashboard started to have sound when cross bump or some hole after owning the car for 3 days..anyone face this problem before? Can recommend any good sc to fix it?

and so far only reach 280km with 1 bar left, I will consider myself as light footed edi, is it becoz the car is still new or the fuel efficiency is really this bad ? 

I see. I'm always doing that with my Perodua cars and now I'm looking to get myself a Preve CFE.

I was made to understand that you can only opt for 10K km service interval if you are using fully synthetic engine oil. It this true?

If you strictly follow the service booklet, how much is the cost for normal service? i.e changing engine oil, oil filter, drain plug washer and labour cost? How much will the total cost be?

Thank you in advance.

Are you sure about that? Mineral oil is usually used for a service interval of 5,000-6,000km for any cars.

Proton used to permit users to use the lowest grade of engine oil for the Preve Turbo, which is the semi-synthetic Synthium 800 sometime in 2013. In early 2014, they do not recommend Synthium 800 for the Preve Turbo anymore, stating that after a research they found that Synthium 800 is not too suitable for the Preve Turbo's engine. Hence they now recommend the full-synthetic Synthium 1000 as a minimum for the Preve Turbo for a service interval of 10,000km.

Previously we can use semi-synthetic oil (Synthium 800) for the Preve Turbo. I was given this semi-synthetic engine oil during my 1,000km, 10,000km and 20,000km services. Only recently when I sent my car for the 30,000km service they informed they don't recommend the semi-synthetic (Synthium 800) for the Preve Turbo anymore after they found out some issues with this oil, and so I was given the full-synthetic (Synthium 1000).

Not too sure if it is true story or not, that the Synthium 800 semi-synthetic is not suitable for the Preve Turbo. I was charged RM502 for my 30,000km service and had sought an explanation from the Customer Service since last month but didn't get any response from them. I just called them up this evening to inform on my three(3) unattended emails to WeCare(Customer Service), and the lady on the phone informed he will get someone to call me. I will just wait for the phone call.
I can see that this is a problem or issue that is currently happening with Proton, inconsistencies not only with different service centres but the fact that the Mach 5 engine oil which is a mineral oil is approved by Proton for a 10,000km service interval, mentioned by someone here. I don't think there is any car manufacturer or service centres other than Proton that will allow a 10,000km service interval for a mineral oil. Since the service guy at COSE did not allow Synthium 800 to be used on the Preve Turbo anymore, I doubt the Mach 5 can be used, and what more up to 10,000km service interval. If it is 5,000km service interval then that is more like it.

haha so many probs ppl still wanna buy proton...

Just dropped by COSE this afternoon and managed to get the issue resolved. First off, all mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil and full-synthetic oil can be used on the Preve Turbo. (Mach 5, Syntium 800 can be used).

Secondly, the air-cond service is optional and not necessary.

Looks like I have been taken for a ride by the particular service advisor. Coincidentally he was not at the service when I visited. Told them I wanted a refund and they agreed to reimburse only the air-cond service (RM166+) but they could not reimburse the Synthium 1000 engine oil since it was poured into the engine, which was comprehensible. So all in all, paid RM80+ extra for the Synthium 1000 instead of Synthium 800 (Synthium 1000 costs RM200, Synthium 800 costs RM117)

Another service advisor lady who was processing my refund said that the costlier Synthium 1000 is better for the engine. Yeah, right. Didn't feel any difference between Synthium 800 and 1000 but anyway at least I have tried the Synthium 1000 once and it's the first and last time I'm going to use this engine oil on the Preve Turbo.

Hi guys anyone experienced engine sound (not CVT whining) became rough after EO change? Mine has a more pronounced whhhoooooo after 2k km run in. I suspect my EO sucks (Bardahl).

And anyone managed to hear their turbo blow off sound? I actually can hear the spooling and blow off sound, sound I be worried? Lol

I heard facelift coming out in 3-5 months,  anyone can verify this?

hi boss, the temperature adjuster. to Left cooler and to right warmer ?

Hi Preve Users/Experts,

Would like to ask regarding the Turbo 1.6 Preve.
With the huge discounts, worth to get that or the ordinary executive?
Anyone has bought the turbo for 6months-1 year in 2014 mind to share the downside?
Also, mind to share the fc for both?

Sorry the thread is just too long. Hope those who are free could help to shed some valuable point.

Tq. =)

Tq for the info. How about the turbo causing battery to ko? Or car unable to start? Those kinda breakdown stuff? If it's rare occasion then i guess gotta do with lemon unit.. interested to knw the common issues used to be complained by users due to car reliability? Is the executive more reliable than turbo? Tq. =)

As I understand the CFE engine bay engine can heat up quite easily if boosting frequently. Heat can shorten battery lifespan, but hard to say by how much.

My neighbor's SR20DETT had his battery replaced twice last year because of heat generated by the turbocharger and ...uh...his driving style  After that everytime he come home he will lift his bonnet to cool down his engine bay.

mengsuan you've seen that car before....the car hit by my house's autogate 

Why proton Service center, are all kelam kabut about engine oil?

one branch/SC have only Shell, the other sell PETRONAS only

none of the branch allow you to buy from any other place except their place...

Another branch don't have stocks and only have syntium 1000 15/50 and simply put in this oil and highly recommend and consider all eng oil the same lol!

Whatever happen to Proton and their SC?, this is surely mismanagement and another failure effort?
