How to prevent this issue occur? congrats ! what year model did you get? Any advise on radiator fan and fuse box issue? Seem it is common problem. How to prevent this issue occur? - this can happen if AC is abused or if coolant and other liquid are overlooked and not maintained properply. - also do best practice off turning off AC before shutting down engine and start engine with AC off when trying to warm up your car.

QUOTE(clockpulses @ Jan 15 2021, 08:55 PM) I'm puzzled with this weird krok krok near my left front tyres. Krok krok on uneven road, not lower arm for sure I've changed almost all suspension parts. Last part was brake caliper pin What is this mystery sound? Brakepad loose? Or Is it coming from inside like glovebox rattles? I can't tell and I'm confused Even my mechanic cannot figure out. if all else fails , bring to Service Centre. could be arm bushing, steering rack or even absorber issue. hard to guess, leave it for the experts to check

QUOTE(MechaHerc @ Feb 5 2021, 12:55 PM) Hi guys, i'm planning to buy 2ndhand preve. Any tips can share. 😁 things to consider NA vs Turbo - gonna be a bit big difference in raw power specially with acceleration, but not much with top speed cruising. - turbo gonna be faster but more maintenance with wear and tear parts. Year Model - don't get anything less than 2014 model, older models might be near for all parts to be replaced. Service Record - make sure the vehicle is complete with service record for 5 years within the warranty. - bring a mechanic friend to make 72 point inspection, there are services like this offered online. Can do a bit of google can find easily.

QUOTE(deepan84 @ Mar 2 2021, 09:10 AM) also my Preve CFE from 1st batch (year 2012). After the 8th year, lotsa small issues cropping up. and every repair will cost 300-700. I spent around 5k in 1 year to repair all those small2 stuff. this not taking into account the turbo and CVT replacement which should last until 120k KM and anything after that is bonus time. So finally decided to cut my losses and sell the car. Abit sad that i repaired alot of stuff in COSE but cant afford to continuously repair the car. Its a steady car but once its old, maintenance is pricey. On my opinion at 120km most issues will really come out not only for preve. compared to BMW, VW and Mercedes this maintenance cost still considered lucky.

QUOTE(deepan84 @ Mar 2 2021, 02:44 PM) the entry cost to bmw is high..so u expect high maintenance. for preve, u buy it for 72k but at the 8th year your car is only valued at 15-20k. your repairs will cost 1k everytime. not worth it la to repair. If your turbo or CVT dies, RIP to the car. using same analogy then bmw buy for 200k after 8yrs only 50k some more i pay bmw i expect german build to be better and less maitnance, in the end maintenance cost still same pay 3k for 50k car everytime? my point is that all car's maybe (toyota / honda )is better in this situation is normal not only to preve. hope people here doesn't follow that mindset, long lasting car depends on Usage not on brand although some models can really be a factor and just endless money pits in the end.
