To all IAFM owners, why sometimes the engine takes longer to crank up? Any idea what's wrong?

Hi guys! Good evening! Just notice the engine compartment has 'klak klak klak' sound when I am about to move. It's like bearing sound and happens only when the A/C is ON. Any idea? icon_question.gif

Confirmed B and M line uses 1.3L brake master pump version?!
Confirmed. My master pump is different from yours. But still, the brake feels spongy.

changing to aftermarket brake pads will greatly improve the braking/feel of the car....

Hi Loong! Which brand would you recommend for Persona?

hi all.. my dad is waiting for his H-line bluberry tea persona which he will get in two month..

my dad already sent the old car (iswara 1.3) to check for puspakom and approved.. waiting for new car now..

can i know what voucher or package do the salesman give normally? buying from proton centre near pasar besar seremban (SA - sulaiman).. this dude kinda a bit clumsy.. like never sell a car before.. ask him also lotsa thing he dint know, need to check brochure many time..

my dad really wanna buy it after testdrive, the salesman didnt even mention anything (such as petrol voucher, service voucher or tint voucher).. just explaining and calculate on loan and tell bout what to do for the exchange program..

and please suggest a good tint brand (good but not so expensive)..

*what is the price for a spoiler for persona.. kinda look a bit weird without a spoiler..
*
To me, the car looks weird with spoiler and door visor added. I prefer clean line of the trunk. Different people have different taste. tongue.gif

its more of like "rattle" kinda sound especially when u do pickup from stand still a little harder rite (low rpm)? Yea mine too. Just a little. I think should not worry about it too much. I believe its just because of the engine tuning being a LITTLE too advanced timing.

It happens especially on a hot hot day....night time usually will not happen.

Same here, mine is like 'krak krak krak..." when picking up from stand still and the car is fully loaded with passengers. What's wrong?

hi guy, for those using H-line & SE. If i wash my car / rain heavy at nite time, then the next day morning, when i wanna reverse out my car...that is a "kok" sound from rear break. I checked with SC, the explanation is " when we use the brake, it will cause some brake powder. which whn it wet, and we pull the handbrake. It will cause the brake pad to stick on the brake dics when it dry out. So the next morning, when u release the handbrake, it still stick on the brake disc until ur car moving and it will unstick the break pad dude to the dics brake rotate then generate the "kok" sound". He told me, every rear disc brake ride is same, unless u are using drum type. Is this true?
*
Yupe, the brake pad will stick on the disc after washing and causes the 'kok' sound, especially when the discs are fully rusted. biggrin.gif
No worries la, it happens only after washing. wub.gif

laugh.gif ...no rev tak boleh naik....but normally before reaching corner, i slow down around 40-60km (depending on corner) and drop gear to maintain the rpm around 3k rpm...then once after corner...step on pedal and the car will move happily.....revving full no problem..la..just make sure you change the engine oil and ATF fuild 15-20k...if u rev frequently....i wonder for those who driving IAFM models, still have the lag/no pickup??...as for mine is non-iafm...so 2-3k no power.. laugh.gif

Mine 2-3k RPM is fine, I can feel the torque but the IAFM is noisy when going up a slope. Thanks to the good sound insulation material. The sound can only be heard if I wind down the window. brows.gif

Does anyone notice there's a slight engine pinging when picking up from standstill or during gear change especially during hot days? I'm using RON 97 BTW.
