hi guys, do you guys recalled how much for a major service for 30K?
Im shocked that the SA told me my 30K service will be about rm1500. I forgot what he told me but that's quite expensive
*
Major service is at 60k and yes it's around 1.5k, but slightly lower.

Don't fall for service center 'recommendation' and insist on sticking to the scheduled service in the warranty book. They are running business, they want more money faster.

My car is 4.5 years old but my mileage only 35k. Why he insist ask me to do major service then? should stick to mileage or years of usage?

Whichever comes first.

Hey guys. What will happen if i dont service my car for more than 6 months? Will the warranty void?

Because now i only use my car less than 10k km a month only. Per 6 month is 6k. Isnt it waste money if i go service earlier?

If the warranty voided then no choice lor

Parts deteriorate and need maintenance even if they don't move.

yeah i know but the prob is my car is 4.5 years old and mileage only 35k. but i think whichever come first so they might have to see my car as 5 years old car to service.

hmmm

It is clearly stated and generally understood that whichever comes first, you need to service it.

Same like me.  My CFE PREVE is 2.5 years old but its mileage today is only 12.6k km.  But no choice have to service every 6 months, otherwise warranty will be void.

Previously, my SAGA also went back to service after 1 year and they immediately void my warranty with no further negotiation.  vmad.gif  I told them even after 1 year, it's still less than 5k km from the last service but they don't care but will go strictly by the books.  ranting.gif

Any recommendation for third party spark plugs for CFE? How much better is NGK Laser than the stock plugs (I assume lower tier NGK brand)? hmm.gif

Better use original.. More reviews about cheaper CFE iridium spark plug that "kong" before reach 40,000km usage.

Another solution, try EA Autoworks concept using spark plug code IX, but need some modification own boot coil.

For me, better use original iridium spark plug + TM Works Direct Power Harness + Best-I ignition coil boot.
*
I've just changed today to NGK Laser Iridium after recommendation by two of my friends who had changed earlier. They said no more cranky cold start and acceleration is back like when the cars were new hmm.gif

Well, it s more expensive (a bit) more than the original spark plugs.

From my experience, the first press of the START/STOP is to kill the engine, but ACC is still ON.  The second press will then OFF the ACC.  Second press should not trigger to start the car again, unless you are stepping on the brake.  The ACC will also AUTO OFF after about 15 minutes or so if there is no further activities.  The white background light on the START/STOP wording will then extinguish itself.  The light in the boot will also extinguish itself.  And yes, the beep sound is also to remind that the key FOB is still inside when you open the driver's door.

If I remember correctly, if the START/STOP button is pressed only once and the key FOB is removed, there will be the beep sound to remind that the ACC is still ON.  This applies as when the gear is in "N" mode.  I don't know if there's any difference if it's in "P" mode as I don't use the "P" mode.

From engine idling, pressing the button once will completely kill the engine and the accessories power supply. Only when you want to start the engine, pressing the button once will activate the accessories power supply, twice will be in ignition mode, and thrice (with brake stepped in) the engine ignition. This is stated in the manual.

But I always press twice to OFF everything.

Pressing once is all it takes to shut down the engine and accessories power supply. By pressing for the 'second' time, you're actually initiating the first step of engine ignition.

I think it's not so much about QC but the quality of the parts and fittings.

Errr the 'Q' in the QC stands for Quality.

Famous brilliant common issue for preve.. Just a relay kong inside fuse box. But that relay is soldered to fuse board. Only electronic repair shop can repair, SC just replace. Different from Suprima fusebox, the relay can replace like other fuse relay.

Recond fusebox - Try search at FB,

very interested to see if the light flooding is much improved than the original! one can never get enough good light at night. thx

As you would expect from any properly-fitted or stock HID projectors, clean cut off line. The difference in lens size (usually those retrofit lens would use 2.5" lens) is apparent in the side spread, my 3" illuminates larger side area compared to 2.5" lens.

I'll see if I can take some pics afterwards.
