Mengsuan think I saw you parking at 1Utama just now haha

Hi

I bought preve turbo back in 2015....apart from minor QC problem (such as seat ngek ngek sound, broken door 'hanger'), one major issue still not rectified by 2 service center is the steering handling....they insisted that the handling is normal.... my problem with the steering is that, it doesnt feel nice ...nice it s not the accurate word, but the steering have very minor shaking even at lower speed...although its not fair to compare it with Electric Power Steering, but hydraulic power steering on Preve should not be much different in terms of feel...people always call it as the steering is 'feeling' the road kind of thing...its hard to describe....even going over small stones etc on uneven road, the steering shakes a little...I would expect there is some kind of absorption of sort....brothers here facing the same problem? not sure if it was me, but I drove many cars before...even Wira still feel better in terms of steering handling....

tq

Hi preverians..how activate and deactivated the seat belt alarm?

The prob now is the alarm already deactivated, and i dont know what cause this..now i just want to know how to activate back so i can understand how.

Considering this car.. May i know the FC for this car...

Yesterday, I went to the PROTON SC to do my second service (5,001 km).  When I asked about the recall for the 2 hydraulic hoses for the turbo unit, I was told that they will only replace them at about the 40,000 km mileage or otherwise, through a visual inspection and only if they deem necessary after that.  They insisted that this is the instruction delegated from their HQ and they will have to abide strictly to it.

I think PROTON is definitely not honest nor sincere about this recall.  A recall means that it must be done with no conditions attached.  Otherwise, it’ll just be another normal warranty claim upon the failure of the component. 

I don’t expect them to replace the 2 hydraulic hoses for impromptu customers, but they should at least have allowed this job to be done together during the vehicle’s next servicing.  Otherwise, if they will replace the 2 hydraulic hoses only upon reaching the 40,000 km mileage, who can guarantee that they won’t leak or burst before 40,000 km?

Furthermore, such a failure will be disastrous because it can only happen when the engine is running and the vehicle is on the road.  The owner will only realize the failure when the “low engine oil” light is ON or when the engine temperature is abnormally high due to insufficient engine oil.  When that happens, not only the engine may suffer irrecoverable damage, but will also cause terrible inconvenience to the owner because by then, the vehicle must be towed to the workshop and cannot be driven anymore. 

I hate to say this, but PROTON is really such a disappointment in their after-sales service.  No wonder they will never improve on this aspect and will continue to be greatly despised upon by many ex-PROTON owners as well as owners of the other makes.  Come on PROTON management, if any of you is reading this post and if you really want to enhance your corporate image, this kind of “selective recall” should never have been allowed.  It will only tarnish your corporate image further going into the future, no matter how hard you will try to sell your advantages to the general public, because their perception, experience and reality of your after-sales service sucks greatly and with much contempt. 

On another side-note, my vehicle was bought during the 7-year extended warranty program promotion.  I have been writing emails after emails to the PROTON CARE to inquire about my Extended Warranty Certificate (EWC) which is supposed to be mailed to me.  Initially, they claimed to be issued by September 2015, then postponed to November 2015, December 2015 and the latest is supposed to be by January 2016.  Today is already March 2016 and I have still not received my EWC, or could it be POS LAJU not doing their mail deliveries promptly?  I very much doubt so.  Why their top management will always like to give their assurances and promises, but their subordinates will not act nor follow up diligently in most instances, and even to hope for the PROTON owners to eventually forget about them?  They seem to only know how to “sweet talk” and I feel very much insulted in their way of treating their loyal customers.

hai, can anyone tell me pls why my average fc more than 10l/100km after first service? even get to 13l/100km one time.

One question,

Whenever i drive at not really fast speed, mean highway. About 100-120kmh, then brake or slow down especially at Smart Tag at tol plaza.

Pedal back, unfortunately the gear doesnt drop and jerking like engine want to runtuh already.
Temporary solution when it happened? Paddle shifter, dropped gear and goes on back to 7th then automatically goes D.

Gearbox issue? Anyone faced this? Always happened at the highway, took 10 minutes normal highway drive then once slow down or brake then pedal back, have to manually drop the gear.

Mind to share?

Thanks in advance.

What oil can be use for 2014 Preve CVT gearbox? My preve is due to CVT oil change. No proton dealership again in here. Can i use other brand CVTF?

Hi Bro,

My wife car actually, only running 40k + km. Not yet due for CVT fluid replacement. But the car are now 3 years old already.

yep...i'd done that last week....they got new software update for ECU and TCU + they did clutch adaptation...feels really good now

Has any CFE owners here faced this problem before?

When the vehicle is moving along slowly (eg:  2-3 km/h) along a traffic jam situation with no stepping on the accelerator pedal, the indicator showing on the "INSTANT" (indicating the consumption of XX.XX litres/100km) will erratically fluctuate between 20 and 30 litres/100km. 

Also, when put into reverse gear and when the vehicle starts to move (without stepping the accelerator), the "INSTANT" will also sometimes erratically show 99.99 litres/100km.

However, when traveling at normal speeds of between 90km/h and 100km/h, there is no more the erratic display.

I had just went to the SC, but the mechanic said he hasn't come across this problem before.  He had snapped a photo of the meter panel showing the problem and he said he needs to check with HQ before getting back to me again.

I suspect it could be due to a faulty sensor on 1 of the wheels as it occurs only at low speeds.

After considering what you've said above, I think you may be right, especially if yours is also showing the "99.9" display.  Is it showing when the car will start to move after you engage into the reverse gear without stepping on the accelerator and only for a very brief moment?  Appreciate if you can try on your car and revert again.  Thanks.  Anyway, I'll see what outcome they'll get back to me again.  I'll be convinced if I could sit in another PREVE (driven by their own mechanic) and see if the phenomenon is the same.

how much is the windshield cost guys ?, buying used unit, but dealer don't want to replace the windshield even after i tell them, it got small crack on it.

if liddat leceh. any other car can just simply lift foot and the car wont roll back like preve does. that's why i was asking the questions. it's not for long time stationary position.

i was asking about when u're ready to go from traffic or simply after inserting ticket when go out from basement parking for example. u brake then u lift a bit to press throttle right? in that small period of time the car should hold but preve doesnt. 

u get what i mean? 

Also for the boost level of 0.8
Is it all the way from 2k to 4k rpm throught all speed?

i see. but if conventional AT trans will hold is it? whether clutch or torque converter? so for preve only bcoz cvt and coupled with torque converter that it wouldn't hold?

sory for asking too much. it's not that i'm complaining but wanna understand better. 

yea.. i plan to try once for the michelin tyres.. so i spent rm396 each.. total 1584 including GST, alginment, balancing.. free tyre inflator as well.. it's really comfortable and quiet tyres.. really made difference between GT radial and michelin

Mileage clocking is also affected by your driving style. Of course the general mass takes PS3 as the control benchmark, but I prefer RE003 more. Currently I'm using Kumho PS31 and surprisingly good for the current setup 215/45/17

Painted my R3 rims steel silver and it boosts the aesthetic

Hi guys, I am about hitting 60000 major service for preve CFE. Need your recommendations on a good service centre to do this, if not will regret spending the RM1000++. Was previously going to Apple Auto but had heard few bad rumor and finding a new one.

Thanks in advance.
