Same here bro.
My 16 year old Nissan Sentra B14 power steering more light than Preve.
Not sure that's due to the krek...krek...krek... sound when turning the steering eventhought I have replaced to new steering rack still same.

That's something unheard of. Power connectors loose at the back?

My Bosch unit has been very reliable so far. I hear more issues for the new Blaupunkt unit, although has advantage of bigger screen.
*
You absolutely right.

Here are my Blaupunkt issues:
1) Uneven speaker (left speaker more louder than right)
2) Touch screen sudah gila. Unresponsive.

Thanks.

I just got my Preve CFE Premium. Now reaching 500km, and I noticed:

1) Sound of air leak at left rear passenger side during speeding more than 90kmph
2) Car like swinging/goyang/hayun at 70kmph-100kmph
3) Car swinging/goyang/hayun again while braking from >60kmph to 0kmph.

Did anyone experience one of this? I'm a bit worry because the car is still very new. A week old.

And got some more question. I got an SD card with the latest pre-installed GPS but it seems doesn't fit into the Blaupunkt audio video unit. The slot is a bit smaller. Asked my agent, he said that I can change it at any Proton service center for free. Is it true?

And I want to ask, the steering, does it illuminates at dark? Like Inspira? Mine doesn't.
*
1. Mine left and right (120kmh) - complain... they said normal.. but for your case, i can say it's not normal.
2. Same but only at highway - complain... they said normal(angin lintang). i don't know either its true or not
3. Recently start to feel this goyang during braking (suspect uneven disc brake) ~17xxxKM

Thanks.

Yes, add extra layer of weather/rubber strip (I suggest change), that should reduce the noise.
Preve front windscreen (PW930754) is RM 521.78 (incl GST). I'm not sure which electronic sensor they quoted, but perhaps it is the rain sensor (300+), and also there's mounting and bonding part.

You should get a detailed quote to know which parts need to be replaced.

Do you mean something like 'StuffIt' or 'E-Seal, B-Seal etc'?

Thanks.

Does your power window switch panel bulge up too when the window is fully up? Again, I was told by SC that that's the way it is for Preve and Suprima.
*
For driver side, YES.


Guys,
My power window(co-pilot), slow to wind down/up than normal.
What i should i check/DIY before complain to SC.
Scared complain, will produce other problem pula.

Thanks.

guys, is it normal for preve rain wipers to stop when the car stops?
how to disable this? Sometimes i stop at junction, i cannot see the road because the wiper also stops or slow down. This is dangerous. can SC disable this for me?
*
If i am not mistaken, there are 4 modes for Preve Premium(not sure for Executive Manual/CVT).

1. Mist
2. Off.
3. Intermittent <--- Normal if use this mode. It will follow based on you car speed and how heavy the rain is.
4. Slow
5. Fast

Thanks.

Sent my Preve in for 1.5 yr service.

After having the ESC faulty error for 1.5 years, now they finally fixed it (I hope!). Said they have adjusted the steering wheel. Have suggested to them to check with their HQ, get the error messages from the computer (eg adjust steering wheel?).Will test it out.

My car GPS is still not fixed yet. Position will remain stagnant while the car is moving. Said about refer to service book and replacing the software. Any one has similar experience with faulty GPS and they replaced the software? Hope that it will be latest GPS software and free under warranty!

Like to know what types of special engine oil we can add to Preve Turbo to improve the engine performance (smoother drive). Appreciate feedback from those who have used it. One type is banned by Proton due to the breakdown of the oil at high temp in the turbo part.

Thanks.

1)
Experienced the same problem before.
Mine was happened after changed the steering rack. ESC indicator will lit up when drive straight at certain KM (tested at LEKAS highway).
Complain at SC Nilai, they check thru PADT and found steering angle was the culprit.
Did steering angle calibration/re-zero, problem solved till now.

2)
Is yours Preve Premium 2015 (Blaupunkt HU)?
Mine, no problem.

3)
No comment.

Thanks.

Change EO from Syn 3000 to Helix Ultra 5w-40.
Some says Helix Ultra is good compared to Syn 3000.

I cannot really say that the perceived reduced power in acceleration at the higher-end spectrum ie. around 160 km/h onwards as I rarely push the car. I only do it occasionally (pushing the car up to 200 km/h), say once or twice a year when the conditions are favorable, just to test the capability of the engine/car and just to make sure the engine is working fine.

I am aware that the Preve Turbo can achieve above 200 km/h (tested 205 km/h top speed) albeit a slight struggle from 180 km/h to 200 km/h, though the car can still accelerate to 200 km/h, slowly. But this time round, it's serious struggle from 170 km/h to 180 km/h, and the needle stayed at 180 km/h for a long time although I kept pushing, hence I stopped pushing.

Not sure if the engine oil is overfilled but will ask the service centre to check when I send my car in during the next appointment. I have complained on the defective driver's seat, and when the seat is available for replacement, I will tell them to check on the engine oil, and maybe ask them to clean the throttle body(if possible), citing the unrefined engine and lack of power in acceleration.

Try to reflash/reset the ECU.

Do you need to stick the metal/magnet sticker thing on the phone or tablet? What about the GPS of the tablet, does it screw that one?
*
I didn't stick the magnet... I cut the case cover and put the magnet inside the case.
Mount it with Nexus 7 2013. The magnet is still strong eventhough with case.
You mean GPS signal, right? So far, no issue.

Thank you.

Successfully install OCT. Will monitor & check after 2 weeks.

Also, updated great fuel consumption..

[attachmentid=7517547]

1 week before, highly lost of fuel efficiency. Do some troubleshoot and try & error. Then I think about air filter/cleaner..

Saw 'nor' on your steering.
What is that? Is it e-drive?

After 1 month equipped with OCT.. OMG!!

Revert back all to normal, dismantle OCT, GC, E-DRIVE, ZAPTOR.. tomorrow go to SC for service maintenance.

1. Why you need to dismantle all those?
2. Did you feel any difference(performance and FC) after installed E-Drive?

Thanks.

1. Modification void warranty.
2. E-Drive just control pedal response. No FC effected.
[quote=winners8,Oct 14 2016, 09:36 AM]
Surprising. So, it seems that the OCT is not helping much. Since you have already dismantled the OCT, why don't you open it up (4 allen screws at the top) and see how dirty is its interior and also if there is any oil residue/stains at the bottom of the OCT? Do revert again if you are able to do the above. Thanks.

Forget to open the OCT. hahaha..😀

Done at Proton SC.
-change to Syntium 3000
-cleaning throttle body

Tested drive, feel better FC for long driving. Feel a bit improvement in city traffic. But, still less torque in low revv.

Why dont try JET CLEAN TRONIC? 😁

How much they charge you for cleaning the throttle body?
Thanks.
