No, it's NOT normal. But it shouldn't be a big problem either. Just have your car checked at the service centre. I think all it needs is a little clutch adaptation.

Are you sure 295 for 2 pieces? I changed all of mine for 260 something.

I have no comment whether certain cars display "unreliable" figures, but if comparing between the Proton Preve Turbo and another continental car that I own, the Ford Focus, I find the electronic measurements shown in the display of the Proton Preve Turbo, particularly the "kilometres left" before the fuel tank goes empty to be inconsistent.

Just this afternoon I was observing the changes of the "km left" on the Preve Turbo when I was driving back from the office. When I started the engine, the display showed "462 km". I drove for about 5 to 10 km but the numbers dropped very fast, showing 440 km. Then I continued driving and the display showed 429 km. This was the point it got interesting. When the display showed 429 km, I drove for about 10 km and the figure did not change. It stayed at 429 km. After about 5 km, instead of dropping the number went up from 429 km to 430 km. After I drove for another 4 to 5 km, the display went up to 431 km until I reached my house.

It's not a big issue and it's not that the display is not correct or the computer programming is defective. It's just an inconsistency pattern that I observe in this car. In the Ford Focus, the numbers (km left) will never go up. They will only go down as more mileage is clocked. And when the numbers drop, it won't be a drastic sharp drop, but a gradual drop. I find the computer programming of the numbers shown in the display of the Ford Focus to be more consistent, maybe more reliable than that of the Preve Turbo.

I am solely commenting on the display that is showing the numbers for the "kilometres left". I rarely have the display showing the instantaneous fuel figures or other figures, so I cannot offer much experience on that.

Do you mean you have successfully started the engine, but after you switch the gear from P to D, the engine went dead? If that's the case, it's not normal.

I can always start the engine, but most of the time, the engine sounds like it is having a difficult time to start. Instead of a clean start, sometimes it will drag 1 to 2 seconds with a weak engine starting sound before the engine comes to life. However, in all instances there is no problem starting the engine. I suspect, in my case, the battery may be weak and will need replacement soon (the battery is now 2 years 9 months old).

Same here, sometime the engine drag for 1-5 seconds with weak engine starting sound before come to life
Plus i'm not sure it occured to you or not
When i try to start the engine, there is a time where the engine struggle to start up, it cranked for awhile and went dead for a second, then it restart itself again (occured usually during cold start or sometime randomly)

I did check my battery status with SC during my 20K service
They said it fine
My car currently 1y 5m
Now waiting for 35k service

Up to 5 seconds, very rare, but it did happen once or twice. Weird that this can happen. I wonder if others experience the same thing? But most of the time, it is fine. Just occasionally the car will show slight difficulty to start, a weird sound as if the engine is struggling to start, but eventually it will start.

When the time comes the engine totally cannot start, then it will be time to replace the battery.

hi,

Any problem with your bearing and causing noise ? Is it under warranty? my car is already 4 year plus..

The headlamp light is really dim and not bright enough; Any one doing "improvise Relay Wire Harness" to your headlamp?
Any difference? what is the cost ?
Any accessories shop in puchong provide the service?

thanks..

my car also about 3 or 4 years.. headlamps keep burning out.
so just switch to HID now lol

What model and what kind of mod? I've been wanting to try HID after I saw one nicely done on Preve, unlike others I've seen that HID mod wasn't blinding and pleasant to the eyes.

proton preve cvt. i just switched out the bulbs with HID, no other modifications.
ask the accessory shop adjust the beam to aim more towards the road, instead of pointing straight up so not blinding.

I mean what model/brand of the HID. Damage done?

oh i forgot. i think just some china brand HID, nothing fancy. already got rid of the box lol.. about rm300.

Anyone knows the boost of the turbo is set at?
Also anyone did the wastegate spring mod?
Seen photos of it but is there is no info on the spring rate or what type of spring to use.
Anyone know of the spring to use?
The boost after that is increased?

Hi All,

May I ask which part of our engine's PVC valve and breather hose?

Attached thumbnail(s)

hi all, i'm new to Preve Exec..
just a silly question, can Preve Exec change/convert to Preve Premium's CFE Engine?
CVT engine sound is getting noisier at high rpm... or worst come to worst, any proofing parts can be installed to minimize the sound from "penetrating" into car cabin?

Err not doable, you need to change at least the engine, ECU and transmission.

How often mounting needs to be changed? How much per piece? Cos my warranty ending soon, not sure should I claim one new pair mounting... Car no vibration now
