QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Mar 17 2015, 07:21 AM) Primary 3 ST or PS3?  Primacy 3 ST is very good comfort tyres. Alternatively, Yokohama Advan DB. It is as good, if not better, compared to Primacy 3 ST. In terms of quietness, not many other tyres could compete with the above mentioned two.

QUOTE(xygyang @ Mar 27 2015, 01:22 AM) Guys, I fill up my preve full tank 45litre and city ride..my mileage was 188km and now left one bar. Is that normal?? I am using cfe and total mileage is 30321. My FC WAS CRAZY MAN...does resetting the ECU HELPS MY MILEAGE? Or just my foot will do?? A full tank goes over 500KM for me. If highway, over 600KM. CFE also.

QUOTE(xphr3ak @ Apr 3 2015, 10:36 AM) 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. No, don't warm up. Just drive slowly.

QUOTE(Blackscreamerz @ Apr 12 2015, 03:16 PM) Just drive for 2 weeks ald got bad things happen. Looks like one stone on the road hit the vertical part of the fog light cover. Supposedly there is a piece of plastic behind the horizontal vent. Possible to buy a replacement? Will water enter and damage the light? Damn, front part kena calar too. You didn't break anything. The vent is for intercooler.

Somemore, back passenger can hear loud noise especial tyre and rain. Thanks Getting to see things in boot and water getting in, is really bad. Must complain to get it repaired.

QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Apr 20 2015, 02:01 PM) For those who are using Petronas fuel on the Preve Turbo, do you hear the engine knocking when the car is accelerating, particularly if going up a slightly inclined slope? Try to hear some clicking sound from the engine when the car is accelerating. The sound is not very loud, but it should be noticeable. Mine has slight knocking with every RON 95 fuel.

I do agree that Caltex has less knocking sound. Petronas and Petron has louder knocking.
I have went to CoSE to diagnose the engine knock. There is no solution, nothing abnormal as well. Just live with it and have faith that the engine is operating within engineering limits.

QUOTE(27needles @ Apr 22 2015, 12:55 AM) Just curious, how do you define 'knocking/pinging' sound on your Preve? Cause I'm using Petronas since last year, and so far so good, in fact I feel Petronas gives me the best power, compared to Petron/Shell and Caltex. Shell being the worse, Petron slightly better than Shell. Caltex no comment, cause don't feel anything much, just the knowledge that Caltex cleans your engine. The moment i hesitantly changed to Petronas (after friend's recommendation few months ago), never looked back. So just curious on your 'knocking sound' definition .. Maybe it's actually the Campro engine's sound , which tends to be very low frequency/bassy (making you think it's knocking) ? Cause I do hear some "knocking" (for lack of a better word) sound during acceleration, but I never though much about it, because so far power is good, consistent, and no deterioration in performance. Not define, it's by hearing. Ignition pinging/knocking is not bassy sound.

QUOTE(Anubis77 @ Apr 22 2015, 12:41 PM) IC. Then the noise is probably a consequence of mechanical friction or vibration noise from metal objects in the engine compartment. Not likely that petrol grade or brand will cause the knocking noise in the engine compartment. The knocking sound is throttle and load dependent. So it isn't some random metal objects in engine bay.

QUOTE(Anubis77 @ Apr 22 2015, 01:04 PM) On the contrary, when a couple of my friends and myself tested Petronas on tuned turbo cars, Petronas fuels (both 95 and 97) have the most stable qualities under high revs. We tested Shell (95 & VPower), Caltex 95 and Petron. Not too sure what is causing the knocking sound. Sometimes the sound may be the tappets within the engine. But that is more clicking sound to me than knocking. If that is the case then perhaps have the mechanic look into the tappet clearance. Other than that not sure the knocking sound you are referring to. For Campro, there is nothing that you can do for tappet clearance unlike engines of yesteryear. It is self adjusting until the component itself needs replacement.

QUOTE(Anubis77 @ Apr 22 2015, 01:22 PM) I think so too. Perhaps this can be solved with better motor mounts? If it is engine mount that makes noise, how do you explain that my engine does not knock when driving in cool weather, or if I use RON97 the knocks would reduce? Just like all others, I had little beliefs that a modern engine with ECU and knock sensor has knocks. I don't even have knocking when I was driving my persona with bolt on turbo. But the fact is, some CFE engine knocks. I can't be bothered anymore, just drive it.

QUOTE(Anubis77 @ Apr 22 2015, 01:52 PM) Engine mounts wont make the noise. But a good mount will manage vibrations better. Anyway, just want to clarify you are referring knocking sound from the engine. Cos Engine knock is term not related to knocking sound from the engine. Engine Knocking is not the same as Knocking sound from engine compartment. Hence the ECU has nothing to do with the knocking sound from the engine compartment. The knocking sound you hear from your engine compartment is something rattling in the engine (which creates the sound). But you may have given a clue as to why when you mention cooler weather or using 97 less knocking sound .... perhaps this has more to do with temperature more than anything. Perhaps the answer lies in the heat causing certain parts to expand drastically and that could be making the sound. Hard to diagnose without actually looking at the engine which its making the sound. Can only trouble shoot as what where to direct the technician. I have to clarify, the noise is not knocking sound from engine compartment. It is engine knocks aka preignition aka detonation aka pinging, whichever you prefer to call.

QUOTE(Anubis77 @ Apr 22 2015, 02:55 PM) IC. Perhaps have a look at replace the mass a Air Flow Sensors, adjust Air Fuel Ratios or even a less aggressive ignition timing and see if the engine knock reduces. Replacing MAF is possible. However if MAF is defective, driving the car would be extremely jerky and not fuel efficient. That's not happening to mine. Adjust AFR and ignition timing, easy to be said, but only Proton could write a new map. Not our jurisdiction unless we change to standalone ECU. But why; it isn't a race car.

QUOTE(Anubis77 @ Apr 22 2015, 05:51 PM) So what proton say when you tell them got knock? No third party vendor can adjust AFR and Ignition Timing? If the problem really concerns you and car after warranty then can look for them. They cannot turn on logging mode on ECU. Relying on fault code itself, knock sensor is allowed to knock till a certain tolerance before it triggers a fault. It hasn't been enough to trigger a fault. Knock is audible, especially with younger people who can hear high pitch metallic "krik" sound. No one can remap Campro ECU. It is one of the most secured ECU, unlike Volkswagen etc. The problem doesn't concern me. I'll just leave it for now as 5 year warranty gives me peace of mind. I'm not held accountable for mistakes that Proton has made, they would pay the price of replacements instead.

QUOTE(skullz) @ Apr 22 2015, 09:23 PM) May I know if the Preve LE version is still available for sale at Proton showrooms? My LE already used for over 1 year. Real LE only 100 units. Go contact a salesman, they can change the rims and install bodykit to look like LE. Only thing is you don't get the leather seats.

QUOTE(skullz) @ Apr 23 2015, 12:08 AM) Thanks! I was quoted 79k for LE version from an SA in Sri Petaling, was wondering if this is a legit LE or just an overpriced Premium variant with added R3 OEM kit. How to confirm its genuine LE model since only 100 units were made?  It is all sold out long ago. As said, it must be a 2013 chassis with leather seat. Other unseen details is the front door has additional dampening material, which doesn't really makes much difference.

QUOTE(wacomfreak @ May 23 2015, 07:25 PM) Hey guys, I want to ask how much does it cost to fix the power socket located at the arm rest. Mine's broke without ever been use.. Define broken. No power or physically broken? QUOTE(27needles @ May 23 2015, 10:27 PM) Anyone changed their stock brake pads to aftermarket brake pads with less dust ? Any suggestions ? I don't see any brake dust from my stock pads. Maybe because my rims are very open and I wash them weekly. I can touch them without having stains on my hands.
