i replied there.
hope this solves your problem.
never opt to change your chamber.
waste of money and time.
alignment and balancing should solve the issue.

preve's original camber setting memang is negative setting, the rear tyre memang will makan dalam...

even u do balancing & alignment also wont help..the tyre shop guy tried to adjust my camber to neutral before, but fail to do so, adjust to the max still slightly negative, you can see it from the alignment computer.
*
so it is designed to makan dalam? blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif then how are we going to swap the tire.. because swap to front the tire not balance will vibrate leh..

just swapped my rear brake pad with FBK brake pad. Good enough no much sound and it's cheaper, rm45 for the brake pad, rm50 for installation.


proton is rm188 exclusive labor..

You can try to replace the part at the Proton service centre by free claim within the 5-year warranty period. I had mine recently replaced the silver plastic piece of the gear knob at COSE for free. Not sure on what grounds but told the service adviser that the piece had fallen off from the gear knob for the 3rd time already which shows a poor quality fitting (poor design). They replaced the silver piece without any charge. The part is PW925044-D0050 (Top Garnish Knob ML/HL).

The cost is of the top garnish knob is only RM14.16 inclusive of GST which is quite cheap. Not sure why the replaced it though as the original plastic piece is still in good condition without any cracks. It just came off from the knob and required some glue to fix it back to the knob. Not sure if there are some clips on the top garnish plastic piece, and if yes whether they had broken thus needing a new replacement piece.
*
yes the clip and it's design is so stupid. the garnish has two puny clip to clip onto the lever. The clip is not strengthen like normal clip where it is thicker, but this clip is just like a thin J type, stupid i can say.

Motor journalist Yamin Vong claims that Proton is planning on launching a 2nd gen Preve next year which may be based on the Geely Emgrand GL. A B-segment SUV is also coming in 2019 as well.

https://www.carsifu.my/news/proton-to-launc...acement-in-2019

I really hope that the Preve replacement project is true. We'll see in the coming months. Would be nice if the exterior is totally different from the donor car.

Emgrand EV looks dated, seriously.

Battery?

might be battery.. normally how long can a batt last? i think mine nearly 2 yrs or 1 and half years. wake up check early morning the voltage is 11.9v, maybe already not so good. Now i practice turn off HU whenever off the car.

2 years is a long time. I do think it's normal for difficulty to start a car with 2 years old battery. Mine can last 2 years and 8 months.

okay.. i just worried the stall of the engine will hurt the engine.. if it gets even worse then i shall change the batt. now i try switch everything off before start car.

i found 1 problem this morning, my car got funny popping sound once in 10secs or more. Then sound went off when i shut off the AC, if fan running only no sound. Just now i tried stationary for like 5 mins also the sound gone. Was driving long distance this morning. anyone know what this problem might be? I just serviced aircon last week, cleaning filter and pump new gas.

Should be the expansion/contraction of the pipe where the coolant pass by... but so far i never heard such sound in my car.

but since you mentioned that the aircond being serviced before the problem occurs.. then most likely the problem is come from the process.

Just hope that the aircon is not serviced by some new bird technician.
*
i dont think is bird tech.. just now long distance 8 hours the first few hours no prob but only near to destination only getting more frequent. and city drive very frequent.

Looks like you travel more than me. My car will be 5 years old in 2 months time. Mileage is about 82,000 km if I'm not mistaken. Yes, most of the time I don't do hard braking as I tend to always leave a rather wide space in front of me so that the car will glide by itself especially during low speed cruising in moderate to heavy traffic. In that way I don't need to step on the brakes so frequently, and if I need to step on the brakes it will just be a light tap when the car is near to the vehicle in front. For this reason, sometimes some impatient tailgaters will get furious when they see cars from the left lane cutting into the front of my vehicle (I'm always on the front/right lane most of the time). Not too sure why some motorists have the habit of driving so close to other vehicles in front since the traffic is all slow moving and you can't drive fast anyway even if they overtake one or two vehicles in the line.

My other car the Ford Focus has seen more light use. Just around 52,000+ km, also reaching 5 years in 3 more months.

Lol bro seriously u sound just like a lane hogger, why if u are travelling slow and gliding and u are on the right lane? This aint considerate and right lane is owes the fast lane for people to over take thus u have keep left when not overtaking sign on the road. If middle lane acceptable but if the road only got 2 lane, when u slow u should go to left lane.

Thanks, will write an email to PROTONCARE to check with them.  I've adhered strictly to the 6 monthly service interval since I'm using fully synthetic oil.  Every time when I asked about the OCH replacement, they always said my mileage is not due yet.  mad.gif

wat is the protoncare email? mind to share? their icare seems down already

thanks.

i wrote to proton about the starter thingy recall that i have not been called yet and my car is 1st batch 2012. They are funny that they reply please check with service centre. I was like, hello, if this is a recall program, they should call the user and said there is a recall, instead of asking customer to check at their service centre themselves. This is so stupid and unacceptable that i said i gonna expose it.

I cant find any public recall announcement on that, just memo to SC

thats why ppl dont even know there is a recall then how to check with SC? Proton is like that.. So many recall is sendiri find out one if not proton will lazy to take action one.

If it is a public recall then ppl will go to ask SC, and that is okay. This kind of recall proton should call their customers.

This month, maintenance for my car was higher since I needed to repair some of the spoilt parts not covered under warranty. Just lately, spent RM231 on replacing the OCH(reported to be be near brittle) and rocker cover gasket which was the cause of oil leak. After 2 months, the air-cond suddenly isn't cold so brought the car to the service centre to troubleshoot. Apparerently the fuse in the UEC box was leaking and the whole UEC box needs to be replaced. Cost of the replacement was RM529.

This month, spent RM700+ on replacing faulty parts alone. Hopefully no more surprises as my next 100,000 km service will likely cost around RM1,500 if not more as the timing belt will need to be replaced. Certainly not too cheap to maintain this Preve Turbo.

Was told that the replacement of air-cond sponge which deteriorated or became dust is covered under the 5-year warranty. Will get this sponge (which is the air-cond filter I think) replaced just before 5-year during my next 100,000 km service. This one, I think, is free.

wat mean the fuse leaking? my aircon also not cold at day, but cold at night la..
