i saw some tyre shop wrapped the inner cap with duct tape to tighten it once u fit it in..

u can try tht method tho, logically it can hold the cap tighter...

Just got my car for 3 days and i've already noticed some problems.

1. Rear left brakes have "tick tick tick" sound when brake is applied. (M-line = drum brakes). Very annoying.

2. Driver seatbelt light on the dashboard console not working. Doesnt light up when the seatbelt is not fasten.

Anyone faced these two problems, mind to share how to solve (other than bring back to the infamous Proton SC)?

Thanks

Really?

Regarding maintenance record, if sell to second car dealer or trade-in, there isn't any difference, from my recent experience.

But void warranty, I have no idea. Will consult my SA before deciding then.

talking about brake..who know how persona braking system works?
i mean..whether 4 brake system or 2 brake sytem?
mine is MLine..front disc, back drum.
seem like only the front discs will grip when apply brake...and the back drum for hand brake?

Updates regarding my rear drum brakes "tick" sound:

SC said they will have to change the whole rear brake system as this is a common problem with Persona(s).  (My a**, if this is a common problem, means after changing, the sound will still appear, rite? Didn't wanna argue with them so let them change..)

ETA for brakes to arrive = 1mth

And heck, I haven't even driven it for a month!! Already need to change brakes!

I did ask the SA if i would to change the brakes from other workshops.. and she said, Jangan! Nanti takde warranty cover~!!

*sigh*

how long have you been wait for ur IFAM replacement? normally they told you need to place an order on some part from KL, how long does it take?

sure, but not today due to i no use the car in this week.

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

MyVi i do not know woh...but you can DIY or R@D it...

one more question.

last time i try friends gen2 non cps/iafm engine. the very first generation gen2.  auto transmission.

when uphill and downhill. the engine will downshift gear by itself.. will feel car jerking as rpm raise due to the downshift

does it same to persona? 

Apology for the late reply guys. I'm afraid that the metal kluncking sound is still there..sighh...just that it reduce the number of occurence..

when can our beloved proton can b improve?

My RHF wheel metal clunking noise is ALMOST non audible. What is fixed might amaze some of you guys here... They just fix a "orifice valve" INSIDE the rubber tubing just under the power steering fluid plastic reserve tank. It is said to reduce the sudden surge of oil pressure that causes the noise.

Original part from Proton.

Strange but true....it does work.

Here is my review:

BEFORE

The clunking noise is always audible whenever i pass certain usual roads while turning into lorongs. So i am quite confident under what road and driving conditions how the clunking might occur.

AFTER

The usual road and turning into lorong conditions.... the clunking noise is gone completely.

BUT... once a while it does have the annoying clunking noise when driving while turning along shopping mall ramps that have deep grooves in them (pavement).

So... its still under my observation and i have informed Proton SC of my findings the 2nd day after the installation of the "orifice valve".

What is that "orifice valve" you may wonder?

From my view, as i have seen it while they are doing the installation... its just a simple hard plastic with reduced hole passage for the oil to go through it. It is fitted inside the power steering rubber hose just before / after the power steering fluid plastic reserve tank. That means its non visible.


I witnessed the installation of this item while at SC.

Everyone here, i was unable to capture the item picture to share with you guy as it was installed in the power steering hose. BTW, here is the product code / number: PW895228 - ORIFICE VALVE, the price only RM3.83 nett. Hope this help you guy reduce the klunking sound. It wont 100% slove the problem, at less spend RM3.83 reduce it is kinda worth. Good Luck~
