Ok guys, the Sek13 SC, they found a leak at the radiator and they are also baffled about how it could leak
Good news is that they are going to replace the whole radiator

so far the only sound in my car is this dashboard rattle sound,other than this no other sound..lets wait and see whether it will gone before my 1k service.
the sound is from the driver side above the meter area, tried to pressed everywhere above it just now but no luck, and today the problem is worse than yesterday, now whenever i go through 60kmph above the sound will randomly appear.

the new HU is okay for me..everything works well..GPS is quite fast screen size is reasonable big from driver's side view,so far only problem is that the brightness doesnt have an auto mode so now everytime i have to set it to night mode at night or bright mode during the day or else it is too bright at night but too dark at day time.

BTW, just now my driver side windows failed to roll up automatically , it just go up and go down again until i press it manually up , then i try it again but it doesnt happen anymore, is this a common problem that will happen randomly?
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 ?  shocking.gif

you should wait your first service and your fc will be better after that.

Yesterday when I went to pick up my son from school, one local council's grass cutter was cutting grass along the road, one stone got in the way of his spinning ribbon and the stone hit my car. Quite a loud bang.

AA
Who will be responsible for incident like this? The local council?

BB
How to minimise incident like this? Cannot really avoid places where grass cutters are as once you are there and see them, a bit too late. What can the grass cutters do to minimise this? They wear covers to protect themselves from flying stones.

Thanks.

what a question sweat.gif

AA
no one is responsible for this incident, if the damage is not major, just live with it.

BB
just pray that when you pass by the grass cutter the stone wont hit you.

Just done my additional soundproofing today

I have to say I'm pretty impressed.

Total soundproofing damage is about 2k but it's well spent. I'm happy with the result compared to before.

All in all done:
Engine bonnet
4 doors double layers
Floor foam mat
Front fenders
Engine firewall

The engine is less louder and intrusive compared to before. I can rev without being annoyed.

The cabin is much more refined and quieter.

The fender help on going thru rough and uneven road surfaces, the car suddenly seems to absorb the uneven road very well.

Proton can just sell the Preve at 2k more expensive and include all the soundproofing it's much better car to drive.
*
Engine firewall need to dismantle all the dashboard right?

Yes the firewall need to remove the dashboard.

Took whole day to do the firewall and fenders.

But it's worth it.

Next move is to change to a quieter tire and it's good to go.

I would say a 3 grand is good for the sound proof (including tires) cos there's a significant difference in the refinement, solidness and overall quietness of the cabin and ride compared to stock.
*
Plan to DIY for firewall but the dashboard seems very hard to remove and many screws.

it really depends on the person, is very subjective how many percent will reduce.

Like to know who has filled more than 50 litres in our Preve tank. My highest volume is 48 litres.

Why am I asking this?

Want to know if 50 litres is really the absolute maximum or is there some more room there.

Thanks.
*
can pump up to 70 litre

Nope... they never asked me to pay.. but, im not using it at all..
definitely not 70L.. if 70L, i would have reached Gurun from KL with only 2 bars of fuel..
*
possible to pump if you lift the pump gun and pour a little bit of fuel into the tank, when you see the fuel is raise up to the top, just stop it and let it going down, then continue to pump a bit until it wont go down to fuel tank.

Hi all,
I have booked an appointment for 10k service at Apple Auto tomorrow (Saturday).
But totally forgot to ask them if they accept cash only or also credit card.

Can anyone with experience over there share the information? Thank you.
I prefer to use credit card as I rarely bring lot of cash.
