On 2nd year got this headlamp bulb kaput problem. Everytime change, then the other one kaput. Finally sc offer change the whole headlamp. Only right side. Then the problem gone till now.

This is a common issue (not that I condone it), but at the wrong place and the wrong time, it could be dangerous. I put two extra bulbs in the car in case of emergency.

hi all, just gotten my preve its a used car that i bought.
Was trying to find the user manual or handbook to lear what to be done and what can be done.
but got no finding on any of the web.
just some tips and normal trouble shot in this LYN.
Anyone has a softcopy that can be loaded here?
*
I think you'll have higher luck by emailing to Proton or ask from service center, it's a very thick booklet and I don't think we general client has a scanned copy of it.

Err, should I go to SC and ask them to change CVT fluid?
*
You should, CVT fluid is listed under major service, if you go to third party, it could void your gearbox warranty.

Planning to do my oil hose replacement (the one announced some months ago by Proton).

Like to know from those who have done it, do they drain the oil, replace the hose and then top up with new oil?

If that is the case, then I will postpone it till my next car service.

Thanks.
*
Not sure, I did mine long time ago during service.

Any way, did any of you change the coil springs of your car? Mind to share the brand, cost and driving experience?

Went to a SC to service my car for 80k. Was recommended by the SA to change timing belt, plus several other things, as he said 80k is a major service. I just pay over rm1k for major service at 60k, now I have to pay another rm1k+ just after 20k?

I changed my mind and leave the SC. Upon further checking in the periodical service schedule book, timing belt changing only at 120k. Lucky i didnt go ahead and service my car as per recommended.

Case of bad SC being gullible trying to con unsuspecting customers. Best to 'make a scene' in order for them to learn a lesson.

For these electronic updates, I usually go to Mutiara Damansara SC, and of course you could go to Glenmarie as HQ would sure have the latest updates.

The reading is only for estimation, I find it weird that instead of how many KMs possible being displayed, they should display how many liters left in the tank, this would be more user friendly as everyone's driving style is different.

All these displays are there because it has become "measurable" with the introduction of fuel injection and ECU implementation.  Mainly also since the other manufacturers have them, so every maker will also try to include it into their higher end models where possible to give the "atas" look/feel.

I remember when it was the carburetor generation, there was also a vacuum tube connecting to an analogue (needle) indicator on the meter panel to "inform" the driver whether he was driving at "economy" mode or "power" mode.
*
Well, I can tell my other (Conti and Japs alike) cars are also displaying unreliable measurement. It all depends on how refined the system and the conditions of your driving is.

I have never trusted these readings, I much more rely on how much of the fuel left. I don't think Proton engineers are going to spend resources on fine tuning the system too, maybe for future Proton cars, it will be more reliable.

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?

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

Engine mounting gets bad after a while, maybe you could start to feel it after 20-30k km depending on the road condition.

Check the price list on the first page, IIANM less than 200.

This one right ? ,

500rm are you sure ?

Yes, but excluding GST and also below:

QUOTE(mengsuan @ May 9 2016, 03:43 PM)
CFE/Turbo will have additional cost, which is the rain sensor. It gets done in about RM800. However you will lose the original tinting. Again, only applies for CFE/Turbo.
*
For CFE, it is recommended that you take 1k insurance coverage for the windshield.

My Preve (3 years 3 months) air-con just died. SC said the junction box is faulty, unable to send current to the compressor. Cost RM 700+ for the junction box and it is a part that is rarely spoil, so need to wait few days to weeks for the parts.

Anyone had this problem? Junction box is not covered under 5 years warranty?

Any possible write in to COSE to claim the parts?
*
Only engine and gearbox is covered for 5 years. You should write in to Proton asking for the 7 years warranty (5years for everything else), it is really unfair to us early buyers.

I wonder though, do you all usually switch on the AC before you start the engine? Why? Isn't it common practice to switch on other systems after you start the engine?

Im driving a preve yr2104 .was a 2nd hand buy a month ago.
Was on the way outstation doing 110-120kmh(first oustation drive)
Suddenly cvt warning light came on and loss of drive.pedal the throttle but no response.
Stop road side and off engine then after a half a minute start back and warning is off.continue drive then after a few minutes happened again.u turn back to kl.within road to uturn and back to kl happen a few more time.
Send to sc when arrive at kl.they plug in say its cvt oil temp. But say to do a cvt oil chg at next service.
But car is only 15k milage. Been using the car daily to work with 1hr plus jam and there is no issue before this.
Anyone have this happen before?
Usually what is the cause for the overheating of the oil?
Or could it be a sensor issue?

Therr is a massive recall for oil cooler hose, go check if your car is eligible.
