Hi,

New preve owner here. This morning my preve engine cannot stop.
I pushed the button many times still cannot.
*
hold for the push start button for 5 seconds until it stop.. or else press 5 times continuously to stop it.. just simplest way is just press and hold until engine stop if happen again..

Is this normal? Can SC fix this?

so far i drive around 9 months, i only face this engine cant stop once... back to my home and cant stop.. so jsut follow the manual, hold for few seconds, then engine will off ady.. i didnt mentioned to sc due to not happen frequently.. but if you face this problem, have to visit sc lo..

i do saw 1 of ppl claimed the push start button and inside wiring work before due to some issue.. not really remember ady..

yes Chuan Hong. exactly what you described here. mines the mechanical glass crack likely sound when i wind down a bit from fully close condition as well as during wind up until nearly fully close. i guess we are having same condition but mines can't be solve by just applied lubricant at rubbery lining area. i just went to SC last week and took me whole day waiting there but do nothing for me besides just spray "silicone spray" at rubbery lining area for 2mins .. that's all !@#$@$@#$. i'm please the technician to help me take a look inside the power window but been refused so as they said "kita half day ja, leceh nak buka tu pintu, lagi pun you punya power window spring dah improved version. tak kan ada problem cam kereta yr2012-13. tu i dah spray, tunggu sejam tu akan hiling bunyi"... sigh!!! as expected the problem still exist today.. i feel fed up with this minor minor problem that need to heading SC frequently but have to wait whole day like idiot but they do nothing after this and just keep ask you come back again... WTH.
*
they do have their procedure to go.. so first things they do are spray silicone lo.. just same as what we done apply lubricant.. if not working, then might need dissemble the door and check ady..

since you apply by your own, problem still there have to check le.. nvm, find 1 day and go again.. they surely have to dissemble the door ady.. i face this before, they lazy to do.. even spray silicone also said dont have before check with storekeeper.. so ok lo nvm, since that time i just saja passby and ask only.. after that, i jsut apply that lubricant by my own and settled.. just yours have to follow up back by yourself le.. cant help on that ady..

that one need wait 1 hour is cheat.. i put my lubricant, direct settle and smooth ady.. no need wait 1 hour..

i recommend you try your own again.. wind down the window fully.. apply lubricant your own on 2 side rubber lining.. after that, wind up&down continously for 10 times like that.. and check see.. after apply then just wind up&down.. no need wait..

Just for information, can the Preve CFE (Turbo) Premium uses RON95 fuel?  Will be getting mine soon.
*
cheapest option in msia but might be highest option in other country.. RON95 is more than enough for your preve.. even other D segment use Ron95 also no worry..

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..
*
check fuse in fuse box first.. probably fuse broken.. change another fuse.. which cost you not more than rm1.. use 15A for power socket..

i just changed my cvt gearbox oil and filter for 60K service at proton sc. now the cvt whining is getting worse and sounds like the gearbox is going to break eventhough at 90 km/h.

is it because the gearbox oil is overfilled? is there a dipstick to check oil level? what should i do? im scared like hell now.... it just a 3 years old car man....
*
sounds like very serious.. my preve turbo 2014, is using vt3+ gearbox ady.. below 100km/h, gearbox whining sound is minimal.. only can hear tyre noise.. 90km/h is less noise one.. if you said like gonna to break symptom of your preve gearbox, better back sc and show them..

as benny said, maintenance must follow and dont skip.. understand more on your car and treat it good (maintenance).. car can lasts long.. some people complaints a lot, but some people are ok.. either get defect unit or else personal problem..

My new Preve Exec have noise (sounds like metal twisting and 'clarking') when going through bumpy road. The noise is from the back. Is that normal?
*
check your rear seat.. fold it down and slam it back to the position.. or else, fold it down, and try drive around and see whether sound still exist

Guys, do have some questions to ask here about tyre..

We are using 205/55/R16 in our preve stock rim.

I want to know any brand do offer this size of tyres? Im looking for quiet and comfort tyres.. no speeding needed.. I survey and found Michelin P3ST is the option.. Can anybody give some of the reviews and options to me.. May compare with our stock GT Radial Champiro tyres as well..

It isnt so much improvement between P3ST and Champiro?

super lot of different bro. 3ST is so much gripper, and much more comfortable, less tyre noise. U know i only change front to 3ST, then i suddenly heard very funny wong wong noise, sound like balancing problem, when i drive at 100km/h, i tot is balancing problem. I go back michelin ask, they say not balancing problem, is becos 3ST is quiet tyre, so the noise u hear is actually the noise from ur back champiro tyre noise, u feel like it is from the front. Then i see the tyre age also 5yrs, brittle can see small small hairline crack liao, i tukar. VOILA, no more funny sound.
*
sounds really a lot different.. yeah, of course in our preve cruising at 90~100km/h, mainly noise are from tyres.. so P3ST is a good choice? i check in michelin my website around rm430 each.. i plan to look one of the dealer in my place which is my friend's dad shop.. my preve almost 1 year.. mileage for champiro is 20k.. planning to switch it..

previous car i have in family mostly is falken and hanhook.. not very quiet.. falken starting very good.. after some mileage, noise back as well.. so P3ST is the best in quietness?

Thanks.

That's my car doing 110 km/h on LPT2. I'm using Pilot Sport 3 on all 4 corners. You can barely hear the tyre noise. The only sound you hear are the CVT drone and the aircond. And you know what? 3ST is supposed to be quieter than the PS3 I'm using. Needless to say I'm happy with the PS3. Would I choose 3ST? No, because PS3 has better performance especially in the wet, yet it is very comfortable and not noisy at all.
*
erm.. i think i need to find someone here driving preve in the group who use PS3 or P3ST to experience by myself.. i saw primacy 3ST are overall ok.. planning to give it a change when 1 year old.. LOL or else drag till CNY period..

but must do survey before i change.. as long as worth the money i spent, then its good.. gt radial not that bad for me.. just noisy is noticeable.. but if michelin really can reduce tyre noise a lot, the very good.

thanks guys for providing me some feedback..

Hi guys,

Finally, a complaint from me but not a big prob.

I noticed the steering is not balanced. I have to steer a bit to the left on a straight road constantly.

What is the cost if i do balancing and alignment at Proton Service Centre?

If i do that in normal shop (for better price of course) wud the warranty voided?

ANyone has experience? Thanks
*
balancing rm5 per wheel. rm15~20 alignment.. (Price in penang mainland). differ from each shop..

Normally after balancing and alignment done, steering put straight, car might still go to left a bit.. it's normal.. mostly our road was design the slope to left a bit.. as long as not very serious toward to left will do.. a little bit left is ok.. if you let go the hand, the car drive to left significantly then go check align..

hi. i know that you posted this in february. I was looking for an answer like below (used search button):

1) Is syntium 800 enough
2) how much is the cost of the oil + other stuff

thank to your single post i managed to find the answers

thanks

i was expecting to pay around rm200-300. i guess i want to give syntium 800 a try. Looks like it's gonna be less than rm150
*
syn 800 just cost rm112 before GST.. I'm was using this engine oil from 1k till now 20k service which just done on last saturday.

btw new preve on 2014 onwards which entitled for free 3 years maintenance which is cover basic maintenance like mineral engine oil, oil filter, gasket plug.. which voucher RM95 discount each service. for some period, there are rm165 discount voucher..

slightly add on for syn800 engine oil, around rm40..

since the map is based on tomtom.. even giving us the update also lack behind of papago/garmin..
besides than this map issue, others were fine.. radio ok, usb ok, CD ok, AUX ok, bluetooth ok.. so im fine with it.. just get 1 very good phone holder and place your phone as GPS device.. problem solved

I think the Bosch HU is pretty good, because it is reliable.

I'm worried later the door will damaged if i constantly pull it very hard. before i send to sc, i want to if someone experienced it and know what's the problem and can diy. thanks

hmm.. possible is about car door latch.. actually no problem to push it hard to close the door.. try to inform sc and see whether need to adjust the door latch or not.. every hard to adjust this one.. even slight different few mm will got different impact..

Now using preve cfe for 3 months.
Pleased with my red preve.. at first, i was shocked a bit with the performance.. can beat 2.0 car easily and usually highway user will let me potong them.. hehe... satisfy with the handling performance ( had connering at 120kmph and still stable )
ODO will get to 10k soon.. want to change fully syntetic engine oil.. occasionally I use v power shell for for performance at rm2.90/litre..

After 10k service. I want to do these.

1. Sound proofing using autoform ( feels like uncomfortable to hear vehicles and tyre sound outside) - expected damage RM880.00

2. Change to Red Black leather seat - expected damage RM1600

3. Add tinted ( currently using prefe stock tinting film . Anyone knows about the light transparency on windows using preve stocks tinted? If I put additional tinted, jpj will disturb tak? - expected damage RM1000.
*
for the tinted.. it's ady near to to JPJ compliance allowed VLT % ady.. if added sure cannot pass.. but dont too obvious dark i think jpj wont kacao.. if want then go add layer, or else dont add if scare.. haha

i think stock tinted from ecotint is good.. just maybe u need re tint for front and rear winscreen.. side ok for heat rejection
