Just got quoted price from Proton.
RM1,500 for the windscreen and the electronic sensor. Not sure if including labour. I think it is.

Also, fixed the video.

Is this your car? If it is, sorry about that. Very unlucky indeed. Flying stones usually come more often from large lorries, or sports cars with wide tyres 235 and above, and when traveling at higher speeds. But looks like this time it's coming from a Myvi.

Yala, Myvi! Starting to hate those Myvis...always bring trouble... xD

I think we're referring to the same thing. I just make sure I don't rest my arm on the panel when winding up the window lest my bulu tangan would get caught.  rclxub.gif

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!
Own the car more than 3 months de, but still kena.

Maybe one day, my only one arm bulu-less de...

Speaking about service centres. I can't get hold of the Mutiara Damansara service centre. No one seems to be picking up.
Any other recommended service centre for my under-warranty Preve anyone can recommend? I thought of going back to mutiara damansara then I can chill in Curve while they are working on the car.

Looks like the only way to get a schedule done is to go to the service centre and get turned down for the day and then schedule the service for another day.
=(

But besides that, I like the car very much.
Feels pretty safe.

mine compressor relay failed after 4.5 years, have to change the whole fuse box for version 2014 CFE.
Due to it is directly soldered at the circuit board.
I changed the whole fuse box at SC Jan 2019, around 550++.

If not mistaken, for version 2015 onwards, they have made it removable with socket.

Thanks Yoo, mine 2015 but still not removable compressor relay sad.gif

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone experienced the air cond blowing got very loud Ssssssssssss... sound... Like snake... Normally I know old air cond does make that kind of sounds, but this one is way too loud, and it happen after few minute intervals, time between each interval is different. sometimes almost sound like fan scraping.

Thanks in advanced.

following by vapour coming out from aircon vent or didnt?

No vapour. Just noisy air cond.
Maybe I'll find time to get a video out soon.
It is definitely noisier than usual.
I wonder if the air cond relay is the culprit. Maybe it is faulty and turning off and on the aircond when it felt like it.

You should return to the SC and ask them why?

That's why my 4½ years old PREVE Turbo, I don't even want to ask them about the CVT Damper recall because I know the SC will also replace the engine mounts at the same time, which I'll have to pay since my vehicle is over 3 years old and is no longer covered by warranty for the engine mounts.  Anyway, as my mileage is now only 19,168 km, there's not much wear and tear despite its age.
*
Mine 4.5 years also. 46k KM
Shouldn't have that much wear and tear right? But well, it is what it is and they asked me to pay 717.70 for part first.
About 2 weeks to deliver

You need to change left and right engine mount. Thats what happen to me is SC changed left only and whole jerking. After change mounting , drove beautifully and smooth acceleration.

Means after RM 717.70, it should drive beautifully?
Thanks for all the help guys!

The car vibrates soo badly that my front passenger door had tak tak tak sound the whole journey. Dashboard vibrate until something under my steering making noise.

Now have to endure 2 weeks of this. Will update when this happens.

Thanks so much again guys.

That's why some of those mechanics and technicians in the PROTON SC are very unreliable and is giving them a very bad reputation. 

Rightfully, they should have test-driven the car before handing it back to you.  If they had done so, this vibration problem would have been obvious and they should have taken the next remedial action to correct this problem.  But instead, they had either turned a blind eye to it or probably didn't even test drive the car after the CVT Damper replacement job.

I think any brand SC also got a few like that. So not just a proton issue but industry issue. But ya, still felt they should have done that.
