Today, preve save my life

I was driving on north-south highway (E2),
Cruising around 140-160kmh, following another Preve Turbo
Suddenly, i saw a proton saga SV on middle lane was in doubt whether to switch lane or not.. So i slow a down a bit, but the saga maintain on middle, so i speed up
As the last minute, i was driving 160kmh at the time, out of sudden the Saga just swerved into my lane without any signal, immediately i applied emergency brake and literally my front bumper was a centimeters close of the hitting the saga rear bumper,
Thanks gods there was no car behind me and all the disc brakes applied and i can hear my tyre screeching as i stop from 160kmh to 0kmh.
That saga really A-Hole

P.S.. i didnt know preve have emergency stop signal
Hehehehehe

Yes, the brakes of the Preve Turbo somehow is pretty stellar - good. Short braking distance during emergency situations. It's not only the brakes but the ABS which works in tandem with hard braking. You will surely "hear" the ABS during emergency braking. Not screeching sound which is from the tyres but a "klonk klonk klonk" sound.

But 160 to 0 km/h on the North-South highway? You mean you applied brakes to your car and it stopped right along the highway? Not moving at all?
*
i didnt hear klonk klonk though or maybe because my music was loud that time..., but i do heard, screeechhhhhhh ettttttttt... all four tyres screechhhh..

yea, it stop on the highway with emergency signal turn on plus the Sage didn't speed up after switch into my lane, the sage move when i completely stop like 0kmh.. in was in the morning, that time there was no car behind me like literally no car..

i'm quite impressed with preve though, able to stop within short distance from 160Kmh- 0Kmh,

i used to drive myvi (2012 model), during emergency braking even from 140kmh to 0 still take longer distance to stop.

Some says Helix Ultra is good compared to Syn 3000.
Thanks.

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

It will only make it worse, trust me. HID in halogen projector is a big NO.

You want to fit in HID, you need to retrofit the headlamp with HID projector, total cost is around 1k+.

Is there a way to fix the problem why the right side headlamps burn up so quickly?
I replace it few months ago

guys,

why when i Rev around 4K-6K rpm..
my air con started to smell the exhaust.
first thought, (air circulation was off) but it stayed on

did a couple run at that particular RPM, still smell the exhaust
i did change Factory exhaust to double tailpipes. (catback exhaust)
2 months being using it, then suddenly started to smell exhaust in the car when rev it at that RPM.

how is it possible??

Preve CFE 2014.

it isnt tyre smell?
saw this before in fb group or somewhere.. it's from aircond inside.. nothing damage actually but it annoying.. so far my car still havent found this kind of sponge yet..

It's not tyre smell
Because the smell came from Aircon
Especially when i rev higher than 4K rpm

P.S : it happen after i did my Aircon service with SC
