    Proton FAQs

    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.
