Hello,
owner of preve 2014 [CFE] - elegant brown, here. Need to ask a few questions,
my preve apparently has some inherent wiring problem, bulb blown one side, if change also wont light up. Currently pirate eyes. Anyone got any advice on this.

And also my right wheel-well got some knocking and vibrations when reverse parking. Braking is not an issue it works fine.

Ive changed rims, 16inch offset 7.5" and put coilover buffers for all 4 wheels. Absorbers are still fine.

Currently at 31km mileage about to send for service.

FC is great on Agip Syn 5w-50.

Thank you.

I'm doing about 7.8 to 8.5 l/100 km, please convert urself, Im not picky over fc given the drive I get. Depends on my driving patterns that week.btw went to sc, intermittent knocking sound is from faulty driveshaft but cannot claim due to rims unless got member here want to rent out their wheels for a day or 2. Turns out got no wiring issue,just change bulb.

Hi,
mind to share how they diagnose and any physical symptom of the failure shaft?

Driveshaft failures/defects causes vibrations and knocking sounds coming from the wheel well. Turning at full rotation will cause juddering, knocking. Driver will feel a pull from the side that fails during driving; for my case left. So do a few doughtnuts yourself and you'd know it if you have that problems.
