wah..really??..same area???....i think sometime behind touching or the dashboard design not good...coz even i touch the area slightly, there is no sound....   last week i hit the dashboard, the sound seems to be gone....

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?  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 
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.

Auto 

  ..me auto most 300km-330km....highway 40%,city 60%...ur driving condtions??

another new noise by proton?    already pening with the "klong klang" sound from the front tire, now need to worry about the "tick" sound from the rear and dashboard pulak 
my car will stick with the last bar quite long, then drop like no tomorrow  But usually can get 100km if driving on the highway until the warning lights up.

Ermmm if u had taken the semi-sync oil, the interval would be every 5k since the semi usually can last 7k max (sifoo confirmation required). Unless u taken a full sync oil, then your interval would be 10k 
I have tested comparing between driving aggressively vs pedal-cautious. During FnF driving style, revving till 3 or 4k then change each gear, with rm50 petrol can only last 280 - 300km only. But with paying attention on the pedal and limiting the rev, i can get 310 - 330km for every rm50 

wah...urs same as my two problem??.....u turn ur steering got weirdo rubbing sound rite?   and the dashboard sound on the passenger side when accelerating during morning??

Wahlau....u spary in da gap rite?

Gonna have my IAFM replaced tomorrow (6th January 2010). Hope that no similar problem will arise AGAIN.

So far, anybody heard of the warranty replacement IAFM famous "tak tak tak" noise happening again???

During my service, i found out that my brake pads are not evenly used, right side 'makan' more      i'm sensing more money gonna fly soon if the disc or the brake piston got problem for the right side   
I got myself a free oil filter since i'm a member. Here is the bill:

[attachmentid=1382824]

Wallet broken, I iz sad 

But they gave me 2 ferarris for free:

[attachmentid=1382829]

I'm somewat happy 
instead of replace, mine was 'modified' since the sc told me the original iafm was a little too long that it was suppose to be. After that, my iafm never produce that sound anymore 
ermmm... it is a metal-hitting-each-other sound that can be heard when you are going into an uneven road

On the other note, was u the one send an sms to The Star complaining about gardenia bread lol? saw ur thread in /k/

Ermm.. by default, i guess most iafm owners will suffer from this, according to my sc, the iafm manufacturer produced a wrong dimension specification for the iafm. Funny and blasphemy this kind of thing can happen. Anyway, this is what my sc told me, no official statement from proton anyway  Hopefully the new 2010 model or the facelift will be iafm-problem-free, hopefully....

I showed to them last september when my car starts producing "ktak" sound. The guy immediately identified the problem and said to me that they need to modified the iafm a bit. The mech took off my iafm and went inside. He came back and showed me, but i wasn't paying attention, darn. But after he installed it back, the sound gone, and until now no problem, the fc still good.

well, maybe u can call them and ask, or i can ask also since they should familiar with me ady. But u didn't ask your mech about the iafm?

just got my car back after replacing the IAFM. Smooth now... no more knocking sound from it.

Gathered that the sound comes from a valve activated mechanism located at the bottom portion of the manifold is not properly manufactured. Some could be rectified by taking it apart and modifying it and some may require for replacement.

I am going back to the SC later this noon to have my RHF wheel knocking noise rectified. I didnt get it done this morning as the SA didn't exactly know what i was referring to and was in a rush to go back to office.

I gathered that the noise generated while turning on uneven road was due to a steering hose / valve or some sort. SC gonna call me later to confirm the part availability.

To update on the findings later on.

Please do update us on the photos etc and how to remove it. I am dying to know as i always replace / clean my aircond cabin filter in my MyVi.

wah??...i checked the manual book it says changing timing belt at 100k...and i assume most people will replace it around 80k....

not sure how..but i think they replace the whole power steering related parts for the 2nd time already..
i think this is a good news for persona owner..

section 13 pj SC is a recommended place eventhough it took them quite some time to solved the problem..

yeap...i dare not use it until 100k....maybe 80k++ since idling during jam and waiting people do consider running it as well....

guys, if we changed our persona's battery, do we need to tune our car again?
because some of my fren told me campro engine had to do so, coz after changing the battery, the tune will lari lari.. dunno whether true o not..  

ok...here is the way of removing the filter...its very simply...need some skills..=)
hope its understandable since my shooting skills and camera is a bit shit...lol

huh??...i think urs is iafm model??....mine is 1st batch...try take a pic of it..

hi loong 2020..
petrol RON95 Esso or mobil may be give better fc to persona. no petronas for persona agina for me. also another this is may be you engine oil (5W-40W) also can give better FC and pick up to the car.
after the 10k service, i can feel it when change the engine oil to 5W-40W.. 4.2kRPM in 150 KM/H.
120Km/h -140KM/h is below 4k RPM. good pick up in this speed.
now is measuring my FC which the the new engine oil.

my one is iafm model,
yar, pls take some pic.

Alloo... guys..

Newly get my 2nd Persona 2008 IAFM...
Problem:-
1) Brake sound tak ... tak... rear tyre
2) Metal touching when hard turn left
3) IAFM ... Tat...tat/..tat.. like diesel engine

Semua ni normal punya problem ka.... Anybody totally solve the problemo....

  ....not related at all...steering fluid container contains all plastic and oil...it dosent have metal also....i suspect is the lower arm hitting the car chasis or foglamp holder/bracket (but since B-line dosent have foglamp wonder is there a holder?) or power steering hose that most ppl said or something that hitting each other due to design flaw....

it comes with safetint? i only know it comes factory tinted... where you get that info from?

but if it is safetint, then yea, it should prevent the glass from being easily broken.
