Do you reset your FC?

Went to a SC to service my car for 80k. Was recommended by the SA to change timing belt, plus several other things, as he said 80k is a major service. I just pay over rm1k for major service at 60k, now I have to pay another rm1k+ just after 20k?

I changed my mind and leave the SC. Upon further checking in the periodical service schedule book, timing belt changing only at 120k. Lucky i didnt go ahead and service my car as per recommended.

yep...i'd done that last week....they got new software update for ECU and TCU + they did clutch adaptation...feels really good now

Has any CFE owners here faced this problem before?

When the vehicle is moving along slowly (eg:  2-3 km/h) along a traffic jam situation with no stepping on the accelerator pedal, the indicator showing on the "INSTANT" (indicating the consumption of XX.XX litres/100km) will erratically fluctuate between 20 and 30 litres/100km. 

Also, when put into reverse gear and when the vehicle starts to move (without stepping the accelerator), the "INSTANT" will also sometimes erratically show 99.99 litres/100km.

However, when traveling at normal speeds of between 90km/h and 100km/h, there is no more the erratic display.

I had just went to the SC, but the mechanic said he hasn't come across this problem before.  He had snapped a photo of the meter panel showing the problem and he said he needs to check with HQ before getting back to me again.

I suspect it could be due to a faulty sensor on 1 of the wheels as it occurs only at low speeds.

That is one of the reasons I don't set the display to show "Instantaneous Fuel" readings as it serves little to no purpose to me. It is just a computer reading based on estimation. I always have the display showing the number of kilometres that are left before the fuel tank runs empty, as this is of higher importance to me than Instantaneous fuel figures. Whenever the kilometres drop to 200 km or below, I will proceed to the petrol station to have the fuel tank refilled.

I tried the Instantaneous readings much earlier when I got the car 2+ years ago and similarly the display showed 99 L / 100 km, something like that. I don't think it's the car's problem but rather the engineers that have configured the system or computer to display such readings. 99L/100km may not look reasonable, but Proton has configured the computer to show these kind of readings so there is not much users can do about it. My other car the Ford Focus shows more realistic figures at similar driving conditions ie. creeping from standstill - around 20L to 30+L higher figures if I"m not mistaken.

Is Preve CFE a good handling car?

Err, you should use hand brake instead of left food on brake if you can't find the balance.

Because this transmission is paired with clutch instead of torque converter, so drive it accordingly.

I know what you meant, but using handbrake and throttle is easier and less complicated than using both left and right foot on the throttle and brake.

Conventional AT uses torque converter. Some CVT also uses torque converter. These are the cars that will usually not roll backwards because the engine can keep applying some forces on the oil filled torque converter to keep the car forward.

Our Preve uses CVT coupled with clutch. It is more efficient, but to keep the clutch life longer, the transmission will almost be disengaged when your brakes are pressed, hence your car can roll backwards.

I was been told by some Proton dealer friends, timing belt revise from 120k to 100k as some reported timing belt earlier than scheduled.

Oil mist?? Now, really need Oil Catch Can.

guys, for problems on headunit, where's the best sc can i refer to?
or every sc can do it?
since the unit is using resistive screen, input points are always a troublesome. need to use more force. especially tepi2 screen. maybe the screen is warping or something i dono.
used a resistive screen phone dulu, this thing is always the main problem.
so can something be done about this? it's kinda annoying haha
