Gong Xii Fatt Chai to all!

Realised yesterday that my Preve car GPS map rosak again when I wanted to use it to send my girl to her classmate's house for the CNY visit. Car is only 4+ years. Failed the second time. it showed a wrong map, think the GPS system is rosak. Last time same issue about 2 years ago, they reloaded the program. Annoying.

Anyone facing similar problem?

Thanks.

i never use the built in gps navigation in that Bosch Car Multimedia Player .. as the map dated back on 2012. totally rubbish.

oh.. that one. probably oil from rocker valve gasket there. when the oil drip on the hot engine surface it get burned.

so need to check the outside of engine where the rocker valve gasket located.

Sent my Preve for 54 months service. They could not fix the faulty GPS road map and the clock GPS problems. Need to send to KL for them to check.

Like to know if there is a better Proton replacement for this radio tv screen combo. Hard to see the image during day time. If they need to replace this unit with the same model, I would like to ask Proton to replace with a new better model and I will pay the difference. So any new Proton unit for this? Price?

BB
I used to get petrol smell on getting out of the car. Found that the petrol cap was loose though I had tighten it till I hear a click. Dont know why it can get loosen by itself. Maybe high pressuree inside? If you get the petrol smell, check the cap to see if it is loose.

P/S  By better combo unit, I meant clearer image during day time. Now hard to see the map while driving in the afternoon.

My current screen is 5 inches while the whole unit is 9 inches. Will be brilliant if I can get one with 9 inches screen (with touch screen buttons, dials etc).

that HU, even if you sent your car to HQ COSE, they would still need to taken it out and sent to Bosch Penang for repair and it takes weeks of times.

Preve produced end of 2014 is getting Blaupunkt brand (dunno if its model New York or what) of HU and you would need to cut wire & modification at the HU connector (Which SC will not do it for you, can ask accessory shop to do)

Thanks.

Any HU Proton is using with:
* bigger than 5 inch screen
* better screen quality when under sunlight?

If so, which HU model is that?

Thanks.

I am also searching for an after market HU, 2 DIN.

with a latest android system, able to play FLAC audio file, able to install offline android navigation apps such as papago M11.

So far still looking at taobao, and plan to order if find a suitable one and ask some accessories shop to install for me with some charges.

2013. spanco service their car on their workshop. doubt still can claim waranty from proton.

can cvt damper replacement reduce cvt noise?

the car really noisy when speed above 120. not sure if it cvt or engine or turbo. after driving 600km in one day kl to kuantan. the only downside of the car is noise.

fc really good on highway. manage to get below 7l/100km with speed 110km~ 4 passenger.

kek. its really noisy. bad soundproof., i just done the tyre side sound proof, no much different.

if at 120KM/h, thats engine noise. its sounds like struggling.. Btw, I think preve chassis weight + campro engine is drink fuel like there is no tomorrow.

I have driven my boss civic ketam turbo. the fuel consumption is very very low. normal highway + city ~ >15Km/L, and if purely highway can reach ~ 17-2x km/L @ 150km/h.

somehow the honda engine they can enginereed it till this level... while campro......

OK, Have a question.

Have anyone test drive the Persona VVT?

You must have realize something different from the Preve Turbo right?

Persona VVT:
Example 1: when travelling, the instant pickup is superrrrrbbbb responsive.

Example 2: The pickup from stand till after engaged let the cvt clutch engaged, is not a joke.

Preve Turbo
Example 1: When traveling, the pickup is good but still not feel that it is responsive. like slow by 1 second. Or we call it as Turbo lag?

Example 2: the pickup from standstill after clutch engaged is .. somehow.. like having some small coughing. (Previously worst at slow or stop and go traffic. its getting better after service the Oil Control Valve)


Other than that.. don't know whether its absorber related. when persona passing a very small uneven road, there is no shock can be felt... but my preve can felt the shaking shock (although I dint find any evidence that my absorber is kong - 2nd hand car, so dont know how the new car feel).

Let me know your opinion if you have test drive the persona.
