Hi preve owners ... SC found out that the rad fan motor may be fail (the fan sometimes works), SC told if need to replaced, have to replace motor and housing too ... cost rm600. 1. Is it possible to replace motor only as I was told it can be done outside workshop?
2. Can anyone show/explain how to remove the rad fan assy? ...It so tight!

Thanks

owh is it? not the relay issue? .. So I guess you are also having issue with the aircon cooling too.

A few weeks before already change one relay (HIGH). Yes ... aircond not cool when fan not working.

Try changing relay first. This is usually the culprit in many cases, if not fusebox.

As mention already change one relay and the fan works fine for a few weeks. Fuse fail, the fan not working at all right? In my case sometimes the fan works.

Found out that for my preve 2013, the fan with BOSCH name ... according to sparepart shop, if BOSCH I need to change the motor and the cover too ... cost RM600. Btw if not BOSCH, can change motor only that cost RM260!.

I tried to take out the motor and cover but not successfull. That why I need to know how to if anyone done it before.

Hi all, I got Preve CVT 2013. Just fyi ... not only Preve owners, saga, persona and iriz too. If you want to buy sparepart on your own, please check with proton service center (recomended Proton Edar Service Center at Centre Of Service Excellence (cose) KESAS Hwy) the status of the part ... which one the lastest. As we know Proton already upgrade these model but sparepart shop did not keep uptodate parts and worse case the shops sell the old part cheap!. Further more dont forget to ask if the part still under warranty. Tq

Yes.. rear upper arm long & rear upper arm short. Only the bushes are faulty.. other solution, try changing only heavy duty bushes, teflon custom or buy new set arm.

I changed mine at 50k mileage - follow service center recommendation. Car was 4 years old only
Yours is approaching critical stage - pray it doesn't break

I thought the service booklet say change timing belt 120K or 72 mths.

That's a recommendation, although the belt actual life span can last longer than that, but it's better to change it physically when it deteriorates.

Yes correct. Actually I just change mine at 96K and 6.5 years. biggrin.gif

Hi every one. I can't start my preve so I jump and it started. But suddenly smoke came out from the turbo area (I think). Did any one experience this?.

maybe fan bearing broken, maybe no more lubricant so fan burning the turbo instead of sliding on oil.
i'm just an amateur, not car mechanic laugh.gif
It turn out it is a leak from rocker cover gasket and drop on exhaust shield under turbo unit and burn when hot. Change gasket. Still got smoke due to not able to clean all the oil. Tq
