Hi guys. sponge comes out from my Preve aircond. How do I rectify this? What do I need to change? Where does the sponge comes from actually?
I've check the aircond filter under the dashboard of passenger side but found it is OK just got some leaves.

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.

Would like to check. Has anyone replaced the front brake pads on the Preve Turbo yet ? If yes, what is the mileage of the car when the front brake pads were replaced? My car's mileage is over 80,000 km already and I'm still on the original brake pads. Recently there was an intermittent high pitch squeaking noise when braking at low speed. It doesn't always come up though.

How much does the original brake pads of the Preve Turbo cost in Proton service centre?
*
I changed mine on 70K km. Still can use for a few months.

When it comes to proton, don't hope too much for fuel efficiency. But for safety, handling and value for money, proton is the winner

Why my cvt sounds getting louder after all these years? I already service according to manual but the sounds keep on getting louder that it started to become unbearable.

Anyone can suggest?

I feel like wanna go SC to check, but if need replace whole gearbox, might as well change new car. Haha

Ya if solution is to change gearbox, better change car.

I rather use current car if the problem can be settled rather than change to the same new gearbox that at The end will have the same outcome.

So my cvt alert appear today, SC told me sensor issue, repair cost for brand new unit is 1k including labour...

Update: so SC found out my CVT oil not enough ( I changed that at workshop outside). End up din change the sensor, just do throttle body cleaning, new CVT oil and engine oil plus a air hose near turbo.

Rpm and throttle response seems better now.
Need to monitor the CVT warning if appear again.

Still noisy the cvt?

It come and go. I did went to check at SC before CNY. They confirmed is sensor issue and quoted me a price. But they also found out my CVT oil is not enough(i changed 10k km ago at outside workshop) so we were just replace the oil and wipe code and monitor it. Good for about 2 weeks and come back again.

What sensor? Cvt oil level sensor?

2nd hand price is cheap. Even if problems arise, it can be fixed with reasonable bill I guess.
Do u mind giving me an idea of those repairs bill would cost?
The only big bill will be the cvt box itself most probably right?

Wonder  what's the fuel consumption like on highway say 100-110kmh. Can achieve 16km/Liter?
*
12.5 km per liter is the best Preve can get. Don't buy Preve and expecting good FC, u will regret it.

OK, Have a question.

Have anyone test drive the Persona VVT?

You must have realize something different from the Preve Turbo right?

Persona VVT:
Example 1: when travelling, the instant pickup is superrrrrbbbb responsive.

Example 2: The pickup from stand till after engaged let the cvt clutch engaged, is not a joke.

Preve Turbo
Example 1: When traveling, the pickup is good but still not feel that it is responsive. like slow by 1 second. Or we call it as Turbo lag?

Example 2: the pickup from standstill after clutch engaged is .. somehow.. like having some small coughing. (Previously worst at slow or stop and go traffic. its getting better after service the Oil Control Valve)
Other than that.. don't know whether its absorber related. when persona passing a very small uneven road, there is no shock can be felt... but my preve can felt the shaking shock (although I dint find any evidence that my absorber is kong - 2nd hand car, so dont know how the new car feel).

Let me know your opinion if you have test drive the persona.
*
U can do pedal throttle response adjustment if u want to have the same response like persona.

owh. that paddle respond actually involving physical adjustment on the gas pedal? or through software only?, and does sc such as COSE provide this service?
*
Physical adjustment. I'm not sure sc knows or not how to do it, I requested one foreman that I know to do it for me. Only rm50. Just use a screwdriver.

After he did that, the 1 second delay from stop to start is gone. I like it very much.

wow.. if physical adjustment.. means like it shorten the distant for the pedal?.. so that it can hit > certain degree on short pedal depress and able to give better respond with higher fuel consumption?
*
I don't know how to explain it to u.

It just eliminate the 1 second delay. U Know when u pressed, its not moving straight away right.

So after u do this, the moment u pressed the pedal, it just go.

Fuel consumption, I think around the same for me. I'm clocking 8.5liter per 100 km. Quite decent.

Recently i did a simple soundproofing solution at firewall. I can feel around 30% quiter engine, but sadly cvt whine is still cannot reduce, or maybe a little bit only.

Donno where exactly the sound mostly came from. Looks like not the firewall. I read 2012 post, cvt noise actually can be solved by soundproofing the front hood. Now i dont  really believe hood soundproofing can do anything to reduce any noises from entering the cabin. You guys personally have good experience? sweat.gif

Ps: now the engine sound is quieter, the noise my steering wheel makes when steer to right became more obvious. :/
*
I did the firewall sound proofing also. Wasted my Money as the cvt whine is still obvious. You really can't do anything to the cvt whine. You need to bear with it, punch cvt is notorious for whining sounds.
