I drive a red SE since May. My all average mileage (urban+hiway) is 9.6lt/100km, 100 % accurate!. Assuming that my hiway mileage is 8.8lt/100 km, therefore a full tank worth of petrol at RM60.00 (33.33lts) would bring 378km only before the orange warning lamp lights up.

They say the Persona has a fuel tank capacity of 50 litres but I disagree as I cannot pump more than 65.00 (36.1lts) into my tank else it spills out.

OK so even assuming 50 litres of tank that would bring about 568km on the hiway, still a far cry from what Proton claimed.

The fuel consumption meter is not to be trusted.

Added on September 11, 2009, 9:53 pmI have just went for my 3rd service @ 10000km.

I spent RM 14.75 for the oil filter and gasket drian plug. The oil I bought outside at 42.00 (Castrol Extra 20-50). I have specifically told the SC NOT to put in the engine and autotrans additives, accessories, car wash/engine wash etc etc etc.

Be prudent when you send in your car to Proton SC as they will slap you with a lot of hidden charges!

btw guys,

I am driving B-Line. Does the player support mp3? And where is the Aux?
Another thing, how come it does not have seat belt warning light?

Oh oh.... remember i said there was this "nyek nyek" sound at my right hand rear door??? I know what it was and it was solved by means of DIY. It was the sound of the door rubbers. What i did was i spray armor oil all over it and wiped it... So it leaves a little oily residue and makes it non squeaky.

And for the Persona fuel lid, i find that it swings too far that sometimes it touches the car body causing scratches. Mine got paint chipped a bit. So i did was hv it adjusted by P1. But still its way too close for comfort. So i DIY added a rubber stopper wedged in between the hinges so it sorta limits the travel. It works super nice now.

A: B-line does not support MP3, ONLY M & H line.....there is no AUX.

Another thing, how come it does not have seat belt warning light?
A: Even for the H-line it does not blink when seat belts are buckle-up. its just for "show"

Only M-Line & H-Line comes with MP3 Head Unit. The Aux is at the back of the Head Unit.
Not sure if B-Line Head Unit comes with Aux Input or not.

Okay thanks dude for ur replies. And the seatbelt light thingy... wth man? Even H line do not have that light? I wonder what are those indicators for in the first place hahaha....

proton mah.......like tht want....no money to install an LED light also...

for export purpose....

at last V6... congrats!

previous V5 has been strecth until pg130

a motorist hit n smashed out my right tail lamp..how much to change a new one..jaz the right one

So can you guys compile a list of what we shouldn't accept when we service our cars to avoid paying our money unecessarily? Or if we follow the service book all is ok?

Also what are the stuffs you guys recommend we buy ourselve and bring to service centre? Care to share what brand/model?

darn.. too late to made it on the first page

looks like now my engine area is producing non-stop "ktak-ktak-ktak-ktak" sound ... headache

its IAFM manifold prob , send it to SC..they'll fix it for you for free, if u still got waranty.

oooooo... thanks. i'll pay the sc a visit early this morning then next week want to balik kampung to penang ady, so want a trouble-free car

yeah...V6 already...

From my many years of experience in driving and owning a new car before....

- Engine oil
- Oil filter
- ATF oil (for auto obviously)
- Brake oil
- Radiator coolant
- Power steering oil (very rarely to change)
- Air filter
- Spark plugs

The above is all there is to it. Nothing more. Yes they will push you to buy oil treatment etc etc etc to suck ur . Just say no.

yeap.....the red ones are is decent to protect and keep the car in tiptop condition....and airfilter,sparkplugs as well

oh yah. forgot those two. added it into the list already...

Just got back form the sc repairing my iafm. it turned out they need to cut a bit part of the iafm, then the sound is no more. I asked the mechanic, he said by default the factory assembled the wrong size of one part in iafm. So basically, each persona owner should be screwed


The iafm i think. forgot to take the part he modified

So far most of my problems are no more, except for the infamous metal-hitting on the right front tire.

Whoa. really? any more photos of which you took to see more clearly? Care to explain more in details dude?
