Err... what is there to share, next time you send for service, make sure they tune the engine (around 20-30) biggrin.gif
Stock size is 205/55/R16. Better go to tyre thread for prices.

The to-go tyres are Michelin PS3 and Bridgestone RE003, price from RM300 to RM400, depending on shops and locations. Can also go for Dunlop D05 which is cheaper.

Thanks Mushy

I bought mine about 150 each, if i rmbr correctly. But I am in Sarawak so maybe the prices here a bit more expensive. Dunlop d05.

hi Bro, thanks for the reply.
RM150 for each tyre? whooah that's cheap! I'm expecting at least rm250 per tyre.

You bought new or 2nd hand?

Also, what is the size of tyre like for Preve? 17?

eh sorry bro, i think i m wrong. i bought it last year so forgot how much. i think it was like 200 per tyre, but with balancing and alignment. also they took my old tyres, so considered trade in.

bought 1st hand. stock tyre size = 205/55R16
*
thanks buddy. I googled and saw its about rm230 per tyre

its all depends on traffic, i've always stuck in a jam, >70% city driving, rm60 of fuel can only last <250km. but when i drove on highway, RM60 of fuel can easily hit >400km.

mine also about 70% city driving. Jam is not that bad as i start drove to work at 9am and drive back home about 7pm
It just that the FC is way terrible that i think of

Another update:

Pumped rm81.80 RON 95 and it last about 370KM which equivalent to RM0.22 per KM which is very high! Gosh

any idea how to improve FC for preve?

1. Change patrol station. I use petron ron95
2. Driving at 90km/h for better improvement.
3. Try cleaning MAF, MAP, O2 sensor, turbocharger.

CVT gearbox is fuel economic for long distance driving 90km/h. Start stop driving, jammed, short distance & high speed making worse FC.

For this option, can we do ourselves or have to go through SC?

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?

According to Proton website, Preve CFE 60k service is RM651. Not where you found service more than RM1k

It shouldnt be that expensive. I did my 30k and it cost me below 500. And that they service my aircond. the actual mileage for aircond service is 40k. 1500 is a little to much. see what are they quoting you.then you decide which is priority. Maybe it also cost that much because of some special reason. Double and triple check with the SC please. dont simply agree. buta only.

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

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

as far as i know, my warranty still there. Well lets see how it goes on Thurs. book my appointment already

Done my service. The SA told me just do the major service on the next. Weird, i thought need follow the year of usage to determine.

Service + service my aircon = total rm550 (expensive tho)

BTW, i get free car wash from them
