almost same mileage like me..

i will have around 50km+-km for each RM10 Ron95 petrol as of now..

for number 2, i think ECU issue.. i sent my car for service in april i guess and they helped me updated to latest ECU.. then i have same issue like you.. i need step further to make the car move from full stop condition..

number 3, try to check tyres condition and send to other tyre workshop and check balancing.. not alignment but balancing issue... if the tyres condition is not good and it might cause the vibration..

Sent my car for tinted claim for the back. Still within 5 years.. else, the tint she said is RM 800.

my recent travel from penang to PJ to genting then genting to PJ to penang.. total about 750km in total.. cost me about RM130 ron95..

go time rm74, backtime rm55. all these drive mostly used auto cruise control at 110km/h..

assume 2.08/l, 62.5 litre for 750km.. it is about 12km/l only..

2nd hand price of preve is cheap, even though i want trade in my preve turbo in year 2014 (6 airbags, Vt3+, 107k mileage), only valued at RM28k like that.. so i think market value might be +-5k, 33k only..

yess.. need to find an experience people to adjust for u.. u may just describe to them that your car more to the left.. u want to have highway setting.. cause our road mainly design slight to left side for water draining purpose.. not alignment issue. i found one shop in my hometown area (Penang).. so no more this issue.. (problem reduced) not like when u take off your hand from steering, the car straight go to left obviously..

their approach are prevention. just replace..

Yes.. you're right. User have the right to cancel some items if feel unnecessary. Guys like us maybe ok. But majority users will not know. Just proceed and pay for it..

if that's the problem, ya just change that.. about RM1xx?! am i right?

the smart tag sensor at toll booth always at center of lane.. you should put at center instead of right side

hmm.. to open the holder is quite easy.. just squeeze the container.. then pull down.. fuse size normal and easy to get.. you may get a spare from mr diy store for different Amp.


hmm.. probably need some update on TCU?

do you have the manual book with you? try open and over there will show you each function for each slot.. what device are you going to tap on fuse for constant power?

Not really aware of it. As I did put 3 spare extra fuse inside the boxes.. but normally hard to start due to few problem. E.g. spark plugs, starter button set do have recalled before..

if according to proton sc, iridium spark plug changed every 60km.. you may install proton to check the history records of services.. if you are CFE/Turbo variants, i guess they are using iridium only.. however, non CFE version are using normal spark plug and change for every 20k mileage..

I'm Turbo 2014 version with 6 airbags.. correctly clock at 125k km mileage.. changed my third sets of tyres yesterday upon 6 years of ownerships.. going to change my absorber soon..

Ouch.. by plat number also cannot? Hmm.. probably you have to go service centre to understand the things.

However it seem like your car didn't go to service center lately..

slowly buddy.. you cant change everything in once unless really got budget..

CVT gear oil, filter already RM6xx
timing belt changed?! another bomb..

then absorber full set including mounting?

tyres??


recently i just changed my tyre to goodyear assurance triplemax 2 which is budget one.. RM250 each.. previously i used michelin primacy 3ST about RM400 in penang.. primacy 4 is the latest version.. no budget also..

my car have been 6 years ady.. recap on whatever things happened to me..

Maintenance as per schedule 10k/6 months once.. 125k mileage now..

Major part broke down - Radiator fan.. Sometime function and sometime not.. change whole unit with bracket in proton. Total cost including labor 7xx.. Changed twice for gearbox mounting.. RM200 & below for each time.. no more vibration after change it

third set of tyres now.. first set stock tyres 45k.. 2nd set michelin primacy 3st 75k (RM400 each).. third set now is goodyear assurance triplemax 2 (RM260 each)..

Changed few bulbs before for testing.. philips, osram, LED.. now back to cheap bulb.. RM15 each.. no points to go for expensive one..

Added R3 skirting.. some steep area might have challenges, drive slowly can solve it..

Tinted - stock from EcoTint security film.. claimed warranty for rear windscreen once at 5th year before warranty expire.. FOC.. front windscreen tinted are lousy, very hot.. havent change it.. 4 side windows are still in good condition..

Insurance now for 6yrs old car, after NCD 55%, RM5xx for 32k agreed value.. Allianz.. Condition of my car still like new..

The features that i like:
1. Auto headlight
2. Auto wiper
3. Paddle shift (useful when drive through ipoh/genting highland.. downhill without press brake pedal)
4. Radio volume auto increase according to speed

The things i dont like:
1. GPS is not useful
2. Gearbox not super responsive.. need to slowly press pedal for accelerate.. but now used to it and drive gently.. no jerking issue (Except reverse and immediate to D..)

this one you may go back to Proton centre to do it.. but if you are looking for tuning in external shop, it depend on your trust and skill of mechanic.. if u want more power, cant just doing 1 thing and increase the performance significantly..

basically i will advise not to do anything as it is a waste of money.. keep as stock as possible.. i will rather spend my money on better tyres such as michelin PS4 or Primacy 4..

the reason i said so is due to i have some members installed so much of stuffs just to try to improve performance.. yes, it do feel a bit difference.. but wont make your car fly in the end.. if you are Preve Turbo Premium of year 2014 basically much improved, no need do.. if yours are first batch between 2012 to 2013, maybe you can do..

Oo drex team. If you have extra money, of course you may try. At least he and his team did do research and testing always. If other shop then not recommended..

once u mod, it will be no turn back.. LOL

either you makeover exterior or interior (appearance) or invest in performance.. Latter is much expensive.. But may focus on good tyres, absorber, brakepad, rotor.. more crazy then go for engine perofrmance.. but overall need match together..

you cant have higher engine output but soso braking performance with cheap tyres..

sounds more like balancing stuffs.. not normal.. try go back to same tyre shop since just a week.. told them shaky when over 100kmph.. see whether can FOC
