Do keep me updated, thanks. If it is proven that Synthium 800 can still be used for the Preve Turbo, then I am quite sure that my 30,000km service would not have cost up to RM500 but less. That particular service guy that was attending to me must be up to something.

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.

saya punya model ialah Turbo emblem.

Not all CVTs are noisy. The Nissan Sylphy's CVT is one of the quietest I had experienced, and I had driven it for 5 years. There is virtually no sound from the CVT of the Nissan Sylphy during acceleration, and the sound from the engine is very low when compared to the engine sound of the Preve Turbo when the car is accelerating. Even if there is a CVT whine in the Nissan Sylphy, the sound is very soft and barely audible. In comparison, the Preve Turbo's CVT whine is audibly loud, like a blowing whistle coupled by the low frequency growl from the engine during acceleration when you step on the pedal at any given speed. With the Nissan Sylphy, you don't hear the sound of the engine at all(the sound from the engine is very soft) when you step on the pedal. Only when you step hard on the pedal as in hard acceleration you can hear the engine growl. If you step softly on the pedal of the car, you can barely hear any noise from the engine or the CVT. The Nissan Sylphy is just a quiet car.

But the same cannot be said with the Preve Turbo. Even if you step softly on the pedal of the car, you can hear the CVT or engine sound, other than the slight lag during acceleration which gives a "dragging" feel. If one has lived with the Preve Turbo for quite some time, he/she will get used to the characteristics of the car and it's not so much of an issue. However, if you compare or switch to other quieter cars, you will instantly feel the difference.

The Preve Turbo is not exactly a quiet car but it is generally acceptable in normal driving conditions. Though if one frequently does hard acceleration, then the Preve Turbo can be regarded to be quiet noisy. The sound from the car during hard acceleration is very unpleasant, when compared to other cars like the Nissan Sylphy or Ford Focus that I currently own. The sound from the Ford Focus' engine during hard acceleration is linear and robust in comparison to the loud and unpleasant roar of the Preve Turbo's engine during similar driving conditions. As if the Preve Turbo's engine is crying and begging the driver not to do hard acceleration so much.

I often switch between the Preve Turbo and Ford Focus as I own both cars.

VT3+ will produce loud "whooooooo" sound when reach 110km/h. I need to drive 120km/h to reduce the "whoooo" sound. Mine is preve 2015.

Does anybody have problems with the driver's seat whereby when you move your back against the seat there is sound from the seat. I have changed the whole seat once under warranty sometime last year, but the new seat shows the same problem again after several months.

Proton had ordered a new seat to replace the defective seat, but currently there is no stock for this seat. I had been waiting for the seat to arrive for 2 months now. Does anyone here have the seat on order if your current one is defective?

The sound is from the seat itself, somewhere in the middle where the backbone rests on the seat. The noise doesn't sound like it is coming from the base of the seat. When I press my back on the seat, there will be a "ngek ngek" sound from the seat as if there are air pockets inside the seat. The noise doesn't sound like it is caused by steel rubbing against steel.

Just lately, the suspension of the car is also producing some sound when going over speed bumps. A "ngek ngek" sound from the rear suspension. I tried to experiment where the sound is coming from, so one day when the car is parked at one spot with the engine switched off, I opened the rear door, and with one foot out of the door and my other knee resting on the seat, I began to bounce on the car up and down and I hear the suspension producing this "nyek nyek" sound. The sound is quite loud, and as I continue to bounce on the the car the "nyek nyek" sound from the suspension is consistent. I wonder if the rear suspension of the car is already starting to wear out.

Previously when going over road bumps the suspension doesn't produce this noise. Now it's beginning to crop up more often these days. Guess wear and tear is taking its toll.

Not sure if the sound is from the airbags but it does feel like there are air pockets inside the seat ie. there is air inside the seat.

Yes, guess the absorber is close to kaput already. Still bearable at the moment. Wait till the sound is more consistent ie. if it pops up everytime the car goes over speed bumps, then only I'll get them replaced.

Hi guys,

Just got my preve exec few days ago. Wonder how esc functioning in this model.. Do we need to push on/off button manually or it on/off automatically based on driving condition. I did push the esc button but notting happen i.e no indication, no light etc.

thanks for help.[attachmentid=4381764]

I do have a CFE unit maybe first or second batch and remapped once. In the D position it is responsive till maybe 110kmh, then it just struggle to reach a higher speed, depressed pedal fully and there is no surge of power at all. Have you or anyone here had such experience, pls do advise.

hello guys,
received my firered on last 31mar.
just need your confirmation and some questions.
1. will the push start button light will go off after you locked the car?
2. headlamp leveling gone?
3. how to bypass handbrake detection so, my passenger can enjoy watch video?

thanks.

Do we really need to warm-up the engine until temperature indicator turn to half (CFE)?
Per manual, we need to but from my reading..it waste the fuel.

Day 2: Fueled-up till full tank.
Day 3: Already dropped 2 bars. Mileage still below 100km. Average speed ~70km/h. Is this normal for first 1000KM?

Senawang. You know right, not super jam like KL/Penang.

I guess, the FC is very bad.

Thank you.

do all cars with start-stop button need few steps before ignition?

i'm not familiar with this kind of switch..

since the beginning of this thread few years back, proper way  of switching on the engine was always discussed. therefore i'm suggesting to Proton that they shall embed the ignition procedure on the dashboard, so that the driver will know the proper ignition sequence.

for such a long step to start engine, if there is a hurry to start the engine due to certain incident, will the car not able to start if LED not yet turn to green ?

After one month from the day i get the car, the radio display was blank. Sometime it's blinking. Need send to sc to repair.

but mine seems like coming from behind the left seat, inside the metal pillar, 

Guys , a question , would fitting an aftermarket bodykit specifically the R3 affect the warranty in any way ?

Guys,

When and how to tell the turbo is kick in?
My SA said 120km/h. Is it true?
Last Sat, went to Melaka and want to test how fast my Preve can go.
Start from 140km/h @ 3000 RPM, seems it hard to go further.
I just managed to reach until 160km/h and got high beam far from back that was a Persona.
What's wrong?

FYI, I just did 1st service. They pour in Syntium 800 10w-40 sampai habis. Is it okay?
Per manual, Preve just need 3.75l only.

-Preve Premium 2015-
Thank you.
