I was wondering the same. Could it be that the drop in is only for non-IAFM persona(s)?

IAFM or non-IAFM is the same.

I heard that CPS models are different. hmm.gif

My Persona SE managed to travel 485km on 1 full tank yesterday biggrin.gif

went to a colleague's wedding dinner yesterday in Menglembu. drove from Damansara, go pick up other colleagues in Taman Jaya LRT, then go back to Damansara toll, reach Tg. Malim pick another colleague makan2, then go Bidor makan again, then go Ipoh sesat a bit and round2 then stop to makan again. Finally go Menglembu. Finish dinner, go out from Simpang Pulai and back to Tg Malim drop colleague.
Right after drop him, my low fuel tank light lid up. I remember our Persona still have 8 litres of fuel when the low fuel indicator lights up. i get an average of 11km/l so 8 litres mean I can go another +-80km.
So, didn't bother to pump in Tg Malim and thought just pump at R&R area. Continue driving, all the way can't find big R&R with petrol station. Finally found an Esso in Sg Buloh jejantas stop. Usually pump caltex, but this time dun care and pump esso RM15. If dun have this Esso, surely will drive until no fuel d haha. was getting worried too tongue.gif

oh, my mileage now slightly above 15K km d. should i send for service or wait till 20K km? my last service was at 10K km.

wow drool.gif your persona really fuel save.. mine could only get mostly 420KM (~80% highway driving..). duh..

btw, how does the rear brake problem feels like? and roughly when (total KM) will this problem arise?
*
The brake pedal is fine. No unusual feel. Pedals felt a little spongy compared to Honda Jazz (family owns 1). The problem is with the "ticking" sound every time brakes is applied.

this problem started few days after i got my car (ie. <300km)

I found out that, the original bosch brake pad damn easy to create those black powder, I recently change it to original proton brake pad, it doesn't have much black powder and it bite better than bosch drool.gif

haha.. usually in plus very hard to find caltex station in plus highway laugh.gif Last 2 months i went back to parit buntar, perak. Tried to fill up full tank till petrol coming out from the car laugh.gif Reached there, then head to taiping. At that time, already clocked 380km with one bar left. Usually one bar i can estimate around 100km more to go for my car. But during on the way back, i race overtaking slower cars with my uncle's estima, basically was always red-lining the engine, and end up 420km before had to refill the petrol doh.gif

I think still need to go for the normal service 15k one

I wouldn't wanna take the risk of a possible brake failure. Thus, best to rectify and get it fixed!

those K&N currently only available for normal campro and cps....as the airbox is same from gen2,waja,persona,neo and cps engines...for IAFM engines, the airbox is smaller so need to wait for the production to come out...its not same size as persona 1st batch which is the normal campro engine....

and wondering anyone encounter some weird noise (like plastic/buzzing sound) when accelerating during morning/cold start at the passenger side dashboard?? beside the buttons....i hold the area the sound gone..then when i let off my hand, the sound from the area sounded again.... laugh.gif

also did check it with some online seller from the webbie, none of them have K&N drop in for persona IAFM.

Btw, for those who driving H-line or SE, i have this problem where when i braking the brake seen like "hold & release" just like the ABS is on, but the ABS is not in using as just a normal braking. Some more, if i hit the brake softly whn my car move slowly (gear into D position and didnt press on accelerate pedal), i can hear the break rubbing the disc, but only at certain position (i guess whn the disc rotate until certain position, then it will rub the brake pad then after the position there will no rubbing sound) after the position then it will no sound and it keep repeating。Do anyone of you encouter this problem?

Dude, i encounter some sound from there also, some plastic sound as well. But most of the time i driving alone, so cant really find out where the sound come of...mine one got lot of sound coming out already, really no eye to see...i think better install a nice ICE system so can ignore the plastic sound...lol...

420km is also the average distance i can get with 1 full tank during daily driving to and from work. I usually will try to not to drive when the low fuel indicator lights on for too long. So i reckon with the remaining fuel, should be easy to hit 450-470km in total. But better not risk finishing the fuel while driving as it's not good for engine haha

i have gotten around 370km and still left 1 bar before too. but the last bar always go down much faster.. in the end can get only around 420km like you.
15K should go service? If not mistaken our persona only needs service every 10K km right, like a vios right? hmm.gif or is this a wrong info given by the service book and SC?
any problem if i only go service at 20K km?

dunno what is tong hoi and mun cheong. if you're asking about the restaurant name, then it's East Ocean Restaurant i think. yeah, quite happy with the FC for this trip icon_rolleyes.gif
when going up, drive around 130-140. when coming back, it was raining most of the way and dark, so can only drive 90-120 at max. lucky i already changed my wipers, otherwise i think have to drive even slower due to heavy down pour at some area.
