guys, got my first service it was supposed to be rm147 but i was charged 198 due to additional X1R oil.
The guy said for non turbo cars need to fill in that oil
DO WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE THAT OIL?
*
No, not needed. The service center is just being unscrupulous.

No, from 800 to 7000, it's your choice.

the SC told me that CFE version must use Syntium 3000....because the turbo system in the car needs Syntium 3000....and he said cannot use other than Syn 3000.....

i think he is lying...am i right...?...
*
Bullshit, they just want you to pay more.

Any Syntium will work fine with your car, up to your preference. You can challenge them to prove where it is stated that only Syntium 3000 is allowed. Call Proton HQ in front of them.

Go to different service center.

My SC told me if use mineral oil, service interval is 5k km or 3 months, whichever is earlier.  If use Syntium 3000 or higher (synthetic oil), service interval is 10k km or 6 months.  So, in the end I use Syntium 3000.
*
Syntium 800 (semi) can go 10k km, but 'recommended' to just go 5k km.
Syntium 1000, 3000, 5000, and 7000 are all full synthetic, they can go up to 15k (recommended 10k) with no actual problem.

SC would want to stick with the recommendation mileage because, more money. Now for cars still under warranty, you have to follow the recommendation set.

But there's not ever that for CFE we can only use Syn3000. That's just SC being unethical by misleading customers.

For the peace of mind, use 5000 or 7000 laugh.gif

It all comes down to the grade of the EO you need to compliment your driving pattern.

Mach 5 also can. I'm serious.

I've tried Syntium 1000, Shell Helix Ultra, Syntium 3000 then now Syntium 800. I would say the 3000 and 800 (even though semi synthetic) feels smooth by the feeling.
*
Nah I meant for Syntium, any Syntium is fine.

For dyno test, what is actually being tested?

Hello Preve Owners

I am newbie here. I want to ask for opinion.

I am thinking to buy Preve. Using Viva makes me kinda skeptical about proton cars especially  preve because my viva is so nice to me. But i need a pace of change and thinking that preve might the suitable choice when come to budget and probably maintenance.

So, I got offer to take 2014 Preve with 8k discount. Is it ok buy a car which not able to be sold for almost 2 years?

What about the components inside considering this car might be idle and the engine not started for almost 2 years?

Do you guys have trouble with 2014 preve?

Does it come with 6 airbags?
*
If you are using Viva, be prepared to spend at least 100% more on the fuel.

For new, unused car there should be no issue at all, just go for service in the first place.

Preve has A LOT of minor problems, but nothing significant on performance or parts reliability, only QC problems.

Under warranty, zero charge. Unless the defect is clearly your fault.

Hi, is Preve a big shark for fuel consumption?
Iif yes, what make it use so much of fuel?
*
It is in the same league as previous gen of Civic, maybe slightly more but relatively around that consumption level.

What else? Inefficient engine.

Does your power window switch panel bulge up too when the window is fully up? Again, I was told by SC that that's the way it is for Preve and Suprima.
*
Yes, basically it's the choice of the panel. However, not apparent in other Proton cars.

It's really a minor problem that I can live with it if it's an inherent design fault. Otherwise, must have it replaced while still under warranty.
*
It only affects the driver side, and it's not a big issue, cam be overlooked.

When slowing down from what speed? Please give more info.

just nak tanya why this temperature display going high?

1. tank cooler full + spare tank also full
2. time drive on aircond no problem temperature still ok
3. but when stop around 20min sambil on aircond temperature display akan naik

my question is its becoz of the panel board cotrol low and high speed fan problem or got something else? coz as i know this preve only got 1 fan and got low and high speed function for the fan
*
No idea, better drive to nearest SC a.s.a.p. The temperature should never be exceeding half.

Hi,

I am newbie here. My friend's Exora Bold oil cooler hose burst last week. The car had to be towed to SC in Puchong. My Preve CFE already 70,000km, 3 years 4 months but SC never mentioned this issue every time I go for servicing. Why is SC quiet about this?
*
Go to different SC.

215/45/17 will make things worse, because overall diameter is a tad bit smaller.

Unless you do 225/45/17, which is just a tad bid bigger than your stock tyres.

You need to slow down. If you change to coilover adjustables, the comfort will be gone, but can reduce chances of scraping.

My car has to slow down to 0 when I go through ramps, because will surely get into contact.
*
And that scraping sound biggrin.gif You know you're f*cked (well, your front skirt) when the sound occurred when your front tyres are still on the ramp.

A lot of SC don't know how to install properly. I end up coming home and reinstalling it.

Hi guys,

My fiancee just picked up her Preve Exec CVT last week. But after I took it for a drive I noticed the following:

1. Alignment lari a bit - Easy solve if it's a simple issue
2. When braking, there's a sound coming from the front wheel (left one to be precise). It sounds like helicopter blades spinning
3. Engine noise quite loud wor..

Other than the above, no issues. Alignment can be done anywhere, but any advise on item 2 and 3? Wanna bring back to Proton SC since got warranty, I was told by the SA that item 2 is perhaps bad installation of brake pad. As for item 3, any advise on where and how much additional bonnet insulation would cost?

Thanks.
*
2. Common issue, depending on SC, they would wither skim the disc or change entirely new under warranty.
3. Nothing much can be done to this, the Campro engine is loud, and installing extra firewall would void the warranty IIANM.

Our Preve Exec CVT got the same issue Seager.
1 weeks old and got these problems:

1. Alignment
2. Braking sound & shaking a little bit.

Can we go to the SC and ask them to change(claim warranty) the brake parts before the 1st 1000km service?

Also, I noticed that the petrol gauge/bar makes me confuse. It only left 2 bars, but the display also tells that it still can go 200+ km? Can I trust that smart display?
*
1&2 - Yes you can.

Your first time driving a car with mileage gauge? The gauge estimation is heavily dependent on your driving style and real-time traffic condition, based on your average fuel consumption per liter.

If you want to take out the headlight, you need to take out the bumper as well.

Two out of the three screws securing the headlight to the frame are located behind the lower bumper.

You need to dismantle the bumper to get the headlight out.
