Yea. Totally agreed. And apparently I heard that regular service (oil change, oil filter change) only costs about RM 30 for labour at regular mechanics (do correct me if I wrong) but proton SC charging RM 50++. We are paying all these premiums just because of the warranty. That is why I am not going to purchase consumables from them (non-warranty covered items such as brake pads, batteries, wiper blades etc etc). We should also start a list of places where cheap consumables can be sourced so that other forummers can benefit. You guys game?

for penangites, i used to go to lipson (relau) or anwah (air itam).

my full tank was:

36.54 litres(spill out abit) = RM 65.77

can go up to 450KM

p.s. next time just fill till RM65 for full tank without spill out the petrol.

It seems persona's tank is small not even reach 40 litres but in the manual it claimed it has 50 litres.

My Ah Beng workshop charge only RM10.00 for oil & filter change. Proton SCammer charge RM60.00 if not mistaken.

going for 1k service next week, just want to confirm with those already go for 1k service. Do we need to change the ATF on 1k service? As i know is change of oil filter + motor oil only.

how much is bendix general CT cost for persona ? btw I think my windscreen water sprayer doesn't work.

only oil filter and motor oil. tats all. thy will try to sell u this magnatrap about 60 bucks.. up to u to take it.

Thanks for the info, btw what is the magnatrap for? benefit from this magnatrap?

for me....i service at 3rd party after 15000km....its much cheaper and my mechanic charge labour rm10 or sometime buy stuff from him...no labour charge.....but once u service at 3rd party..ur warranty will void....its up to you...but thank god,my car everything is allright...no problem which all minor minor solve during 1st 3 service....this 2years of usage everything still new....

mine is AT

Added on October 31, 2009, 3:15 pmWahhhh.... you lucky laaaa.. My Proton Problema SE is best by problem after problems

1k service - oil overfill, filter leak, all famous noise unsolved
5k service - again oil overfill, filter leak, all famous noises unsolved
10k service, check oil no overfill, but still oil leak, settled lower arm "kok" sound only, all other noises unsolved.
12k service (at Ah Beng), changed oil and oil filter - leak settled.

now at 15k, existing noise:
1. air-con rattling noise
2. right hand Problema trademark "klunking noise"

new noise, random "tick-tick" sound from dash
new problem, "-" button on steering functions as pause button.

now waiting for more noises and problems to show themselves

Still at the Proton SCammer, I must thank them so far for not using the famous proton slogan "Itu biasalaaa...."

OMG, i just booked bline persona.. really sooo problematic car ar?? sad...

Yes Its sad...... Others may tell me if you're so fed up with your Proton Problema then you go buy a Toyota lah!

OK if they're willing to sponsor the additional 20-30k why not????

This is what I get for supporting Buatan Malaysia.

A good car let down by really lousy quality!

About RM 110 per pair at accessories shops. Installation should be about RM 20 only. So all together it's RM 130. If you go to car workshops and ask them to source the pads for you, they will charge about RM 150 for everything (pads + labour). Btw, I am using Bendix Metal King Titanium and it is also RM 110 per pair. Good stopping power...

Guys,

I were reading the Persona's specifications and i notice that B Line is using Direct Remote Door Mirror while M Line and above is using Electric Door Mirror..what's the difference ar?

Any pics would help

B Line is using the joystick like thing on each side mirror to adjust.

M Line is using the Dpad like ur handphone to control the mirrors

Ic

Understand now..thanks for the explaination
