Proton Preve Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Proton Preve here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

How can I find a rocker cover gasket for a 2014 Proton Preve?
Just because Proton isn’t selling cars in Australia any longer (the brand disappeared in 2017) doesn’t mean replacement parts can’t be obtained. Even if you can’t find the rocker cover gasket you need in a conventional parts store, there are lots of online sellers (both here and overseas) who can supply what you need.
The engine in your car was hardly an orphan, either, and was found in many other Proton models including the Waja, Gen-2, Persona, Saga, Satria and others, so don’t rule out a search for those models too, as the rocker cover gasket should be interchangeable between them.

Finding a transmission cooler for a 2014 Proton Preve
The Preve was not a huge success in this country, which is probably why many parts outlets don't carry spares for it in Australia. But if you jump online, you'll soon find plenty of overseas suppliers selling what you're looking for.
Alternatively, you can ask a transmission specialist to investigate supply of the cooler. Perhaps that same shop can match the cooler with a part number from another car that will fit and do the same job. As a last resort, there's every chance a completely different cooler could be adapted to fit your car. This could take some fiddling and workshop time, but if it keeps the car on the road, it's probably justified.

Proton Preve: Is it a good car?
While it wouldn't really be considered a bad car, per se, there are plenty of other cars in the Proton Preve's class that you should buy before considering the Malaysian-built sedan. However, if you are buying on a tight budget and looking to update to a modern car you could definitely do worse than the Preve.
