QUOTE(Ibanezer @ Dec 20 2009, 04:45 PM) thx bro, actually called up SA consult with him b4 , but he say new car sure got smell, need time ask no worry, then inform mine no ABS so no such thing as brake makan problem, will def bring SC check by trw, hav to take Emergency leave then. sigh.. thanks again for ur advise bro, cheers. better send to SC as soon as possible if can tomorrow....new car got smell??..i assume is brake smell...if brakes working correctly..it cause u to rev higher and even a long journey the brakes wont have smell unless you brake hard/brake frequently like coming down from genting then the brakes will emit some smell.... ..tell them the car is dragging..its very dangerous you continue to drive and lucky the brakes didnt fade/overheat if not you will have no brakes..  as for ABS or not...is no relation....as i suspect is the brake caliper didnt tighten or defective... |

QUOTE(beemc @ Dec 24 2009, 12:37 PM) hey guys, i went for my 10000km service today...it cost me about rm200 in total...>.<... and the most stupid thing that they charged me in the receipt is the MAGNETRAP... actually they recommended me this magnetrap thingy on my 1000km service, but i rejected it since i dun think this product will help much in the oil filtration... but this time, they jz install it in my car without my notice and charge me for it...it cost around rm60~ before they service my car, they only inform me that they will change the usual stuff and use semi-synthetic oil...>.<... feel like kena con~ if i were you....i just pay the rest and tell them i didnt insist installing that magnetrap....and tell them remove it before i take any actions on them....without consulting me and install without my notice...normally just service engine oil and oil filter will do..other parts like coolant,airfilter,atf fluid/gearoil u can duy if u can or send to ur own mechanic and change...you get to choose best product and pay with a peace of mind.....for engine oil just do at SC if u want to maintain the warrantty... |

QUOTE(beemc @ Dec 29 2009, 02:06 AM) hey, i read some post saying that brake pads are not covered in the warranty... meaning i can change to after market ones?  any brand/model that u all would recommend? the stock pads are useless... yeap...as you like...rapidstop, imp formula, bendix titanium...so on....it improves the braking and making the pedal feel much better...lesser spongy |

QUOTE(dantwt @ Dec 30 2009, 09:09 AM) Sort of like "click" also. First 5 mins of driving still no sound. After that the ticking starts. Went to SA, she said she'll have to send to SC to check. Hopefully its nth serious. Also, front rims are getting dusty so fast due to disc brake particles/dust. damn.. have to wash again... I did 2 layer tint for side and rear window. Seems ok to me.. Just a little dark. LOLs. confirm wont pass roadblocks.. It is advisable to tint 2 layers together at the same time rather than one after another (according to the tint shop sifu) SA told me can get next week only.. *sob sob* means everytime you brake got "clicking" sound from the rear??...urs is b-line or m-line??...if yes then its the drum brake sping/hook.. me tinted 2nd layer which costs RM100 on the doors and rear windscreen.....at 1st when installing its not really dark but after that i realised its sort of darkand its 50% dark only and luckily didnt tint the front windscreen so can still see the driver and dashboard....  ...hopefully i be allright...haix |

QUOTE(cbkhor @ Dec 31 2009, 04:38 PM) How much does Proton charges to convert our drum brakes to full disc brakes with ABS, EDB, etc....? i dont think you can include ABS,EBD if change to disc brakes as a new system and ecu needed to be change/modify as well to make these extra feature to work......most also you can change to rear disc brakes...is also good enough...its around 1.5k-2.5k if change at proton sc....outside cut shop will cost around 1k..... |

QUOTE(dengwong @ Jan 1 2010, 05:42 PM) to all the sifus here, i am planning to buy a persona(auto) this year....i wonder whether i should take m-line or h-line with just few thousand difference? which is is more worth to buy? hard earn money leh... pls advice.. if budget permitted...then take h-line..lor much better, came with abs, 2 airbags,ebd,remote rear boot, rear disc brakes which some claim give better braking.......all this cannot safety feature cannot be added from a normal car as it require ECU,and wiring change which is not advisable to do so....and mostly it attract along the components like ABS,EBD is embedded in the system.... |
