btw, i just realised last night from reading the user manual. Persona's AT is Invecs II???

Invecs is from Mitsubishi right? I thought Proton claimed since the Waja they are using their own stuffs?

The engine is purely malaysian designed and made or what? Got follow any Mitsu engines or not???

Gearbox is Mitsu.. if i'm remember correctly.

Campro is chapalang..the so-called reverse engineering.., and the result delivered is an "incomplete" product until CPS was released..u know what am i talking about, weird torque curve, lack of low end power...

Any proton engineer here care to clarify more ??

wow..V6 so fast..either Persona has a lot of fans or it has a lot problems..LOL

got my persona for about a month now..can add me..

mtlee-Metal Grey M Line (M)

as usual the problem stated here since V1 still exists..

CONS
1. 'kek kok' sound in front driver-side wheel when turning left.
2. alignment a bit to the left.
3. turn on air-cond for the first time there's a weird sound..but gradually will fade once on the road.
4. wiper spray not working.
5. some of the rubber fittings not up to mark.a bit loose here and there.
6. gear knob a bit stiff..especially when going down to 2nd gear..maybe it's because still in run-in phase.
7. the engine is very loud ( but not noticeable inside the car unless ur revving very high)
8. fuel cover looks and feel flimsy. doesn't feel long lasting. maybe it needs some WD40..
9. no place to put my shillings.LOL.

PROS
1. for this price, i guess there's not much to complain regarding the quality of the car. it looks more than it cost.
2. handling was better than i expected especially during corners. on bumpy roads it's even better than my other Altis.
3. the seats are more comfy IMHO than my previous WIRA although a bit smaller.
4. power wise for a 1.6 is quite impressive. although i think WAJA is better.
5. sound insulation is great (again for this range of cars..don't compare with Altis or BMW..lol)
6. boot space is HUGE...

FC is not bad, better than i expected (but since my last car was a fighter-jet-fuel-guzzling WIRA Auto 1.5 any improvement is big improvement).
i stay in ipoh, and for RM50 petrol i could get around 300k while driving at around 50-80kmph and not exceeding 3500rpm..

these are the obvious ones i noticed without REALLY checking yet..mileage around 750k so 1st service might take more of my time than expected..

Can someone enlighten us how is the sound system of Persona for M-Line and above? What brand is the headunit? Does it support Aux in, or the support is there just not connected? How are the speakers?

my m-line has 4 speakers..2 back n 2 front..the head unit is a Blaupunkt (as with all protons) with mp3 support but no folder support (but still plays even if burned with folder,it play alphabetically).. support for Aux is there but there are no jacks at the head unit.. from the manual is says the connection is there at the back of the unit..sound is not bad..since i didn't install any tweeters,yet.. the bass sounds good for soft bass songs but sux in more hard bass songs.. treble is just average..volume can go up quite high until could hear from outside..but dare not try too loud scared burst the speakers.. lol..overall better than Myvi system..more in the range of Vios..unlike in toyota models when u mute the volume it paused the song..

and the radio reception is not as bad as some say.. but only m-line got 4 speakers and mp3..so that sux oso..

i'm not sure how u connect it..seems like from the manual you need to DIY to connect the cable ( like connecting speaker cables ) from within the player..
maybe someone who has alredi done it can clarify this..

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.

http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?showtopic=89636

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!

dude...you said you've done ur 3rd service...so, we can use our OWN oil rather then using SC's synthium 800 rite?
i will be doing my 3rd service in 2 mths time....so i can asked the SC not to put their preferred black oil? cuz they charged about rm90++ for syntium damn!

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.

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.

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?

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 moneyflies.gif . Just say no. flex.gif

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 laugh.gif

Attached Image
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.

So do we have to use Proton's parts or can some of the below mentioned be purchased ourselves, as I believe like Engine Oil it would be cheaper, but what brand and type of oil? I hear 3rd party filter will void warranty, what about better spark plugs?

What about Manual Transmissions? Do I need fluids?

30 too light for the engine? cuz i seriously would like to use lighter oils. the oil proton using is too thick. if not mistaken its 50 rite?

fully synthetic or not, no matter what, a lighter oil is always resulting in a nicer better drive.

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  laugh.gif

Attached Image
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.

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?
*
1. the useless Magnetrap http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?showtopic=89017

2. all oil additives like X1R etc etc

3. car wash/engine wash

4. balancing & alignment

5. all other unnecessary accessories


Yes you can bring your own oil as long as 20W-50. You have to assert, repeat, ASSERT, your rights and do not have to accept the brand that is thrown to you.

They will use the flimsy excuse that the oil you bought from a particular hypermart might be fake and spoil the engine. You can counter by saying that the oil that they are pushing might also be fake or you can challenge them by writing a letter that all oils from that popular hypermart is fake.

Hey jack111,

I think your SC might have problem with that lube because its too thin for Campro. Modern engines should be able to use thin lubes because they have much smaller manufacturing tolerance compared to the 90's, but honestly I would think its too thin for our engines. 30's have lower ability to withstand shearing at high temperature, and you know Campro is pretty hot after you run it for a while, plus our hot climate. However, if you still insist on using it and the SC says some crap about it, you can show your Persona manual pg. 123, "Selection of engine oil" and the only two requirements are API SJ and SAE 20w-50.

Every SC has the tendency to treat you like they know more than you, but I would recommend our fellow forummers to build good relationship with your SC, if you want to get things done. If you think you've got a point, give them a smile and tell them why you think some things should be done in different way smile.gif.

Proton has done good work in consolidating their vendors, and the next step moving forward would be to work on their after sales service, provide "customer service 101" to those sitting at the counters and provide incentives to keep the more experienced mechanics from running away from Proton SC.

RM98....yeah..still ok..but 10w40 or 5w40 is the best in terms of protection and lightness.....


btw....with full tank of petrol, and driving style rev till 4000rpm, 80km-130km, 70% city ( mostly straight road but jam,slow traffic,heavy braking and housing area or street) and 30% highway...i can get 310km++...
aircond on all the time and automatic.....

and i feel that the higher the mileage the better fuel consumption and going topspeed is much faster....btw the current mileage is 38325km laugh.gif

I just change the engine oil at proton sc by using the eneos 5w-30. The sc told me that they will record down that i bring my own oils so next time if any problem occur coz of the engine oil will void the warranty...... But since my car only 10month and just reach 15000Km, so do u think there is big problem to use the eneos oil?

mine is non-iafm automatic also.......most of the time will touch 190km with no dropping gear and hard revving...just smoothly pressing the pedal.....when wanna go topspeed, just turn off aircond...it give less stress on the engine and thus, it will give u more power.....if u on aircond, it will reach 190km or (195km) (tested on klia with 3people in the car) but slower compare to OFF completely..... brows.gif brows.gif

hi all persona owners, i hav questions about the tail light of persona. If I turn on the lamp is it all the 4 bulb of the tail lamp will be lights up? I always observing GEN2/persona on the road at night or braking, one of the 4 bulb will not lights up. I checked mine yesterday and found out my left rear light one of the bulb didn't lights up. Mine is a SE 9 months, is it the tail light bulb so fast and easily to be burn? How much does it cost to replace the bulb?

try to avoid castrol if can....cause there are too many imitations/fakes...which you cannot even differentiate it well....but the oil is good..la...but for me, i rather get some other brands that can purchase @ trusted shops like petrol station kiosk where the chances of getting fake is unlikely....

jack111,

Yes they will keep a record of what oil did you bring, but I can tell you that as long as its a API SJ or higher and the oil comes from a reputable company, you'll be safe. Surely they'll use scare tactics like voiding your warranty so that you'll buy oil from them. However you should always keep an eye on your oil level and always check using the dipstick if the engine consumes the thin oil. Once in a while you should take the dipstick out, hold the stick straight and see if the oil drips down quickly like water, if this is the case your engine will have higher wear than usual. Another indicator would be when you start the engine in the morning, you hear "chit chit chit" sound in the beginning then it goes away, sign that your oil isn't doing its job well.

Most of the engine wear occurs during cold starting in the morning, because throughout the night the oil will drop down along with the pull of gravity. In the morning when you start the engine, essentially your cylinder walls are almost dry (if your lube is too thin), but if you use a good lube, it will stick on the walls throughout the day, providing a "boundary lubrication" as we call it which prevents wear caused by engine cold start. So, take good note of the starting of your engine in the morning - if you hear a chit chit sound initially and then it goes away, it means the oil isn't doing enough to protect your engine smile.gif

The funny thing is bulb wasn't blown...the 4 bulbs and tail lamp from left to right, A B C D. When I turn on the lights only B, C, D lights on. When I press the brake pedal, all A, B, C, D lights up. Should be something wrong with the electronic's configurations.

For engine oil I used syntium 800 syntectic@rm98 at the SC. The grade should be 15w - 50. I think the grade like 5w - 30 is not suitable as it's for 3 cylinder car like kancil, kelisa...according to mechanic at the tyre shop. Lower number is to protects the engine when cold, it can be 0w no matter but the higher number should be 50 or at least 40 for persona to protect against high temperature running.

Just did the 10,000km service last month and the next service should be 20,000km told by the SC. But the oil changed sticker stated there 15,000km, last time at SC I saw a customer bringing the car for service at 15,000km and the SC told her it's unnessary. I think I'll do the oil change in tyre shop and do the alignment & balancing together.

Plan to shift to shell helix when reaching 15,000km as I always used shell petrol. Using shell RON 95 now, does feels abit sluggish when pick up or 'naik bukit'. FC meter showns 7.6l/100km but the last tank I pumped RM65@RM1.80/l aroung 36 litre runs until 375 km. So actual FC is around 9.6l/100km. Haven't tried to fill in petrol more then 40 litre, the petrol will spilled out from the tank. Highest I filled is rm68@rm1.75/l ron 95 38.85 liter after running another 60km after the fuel warning lights on and refuel again after 350km. The car never be able to fill in more the 40liter fuel although stated 50 liter fuel tank capacity. Never able to runs over 400km for a full tank, highest only reaching 380 km. blink.gif

Am considering normal clutch lock club & installation type clutch lock, would like to know which one is better?

Do normal clutch/brake lock compatible on personas, I saw 1 selling at rm129? The installation type is double the price but don't need to remove just use the key to unlock.

was driving with almost a zero visibility due to the low clouds. The foglights were helping really much. Still can do a rapid climb on 2nd gear despite now on ron95. But caltex gave me slighter good power and less engine noise compared to petronas.

but nevertheless, with this kind of visibility, can only climb with the first gear. If 2nd, later scared hit the barrier laugh.gif

Next climb, Balik Pulau, in the next 2 weeks icon_rolleyes.gif

ok....based on my experience since i had used eneos 10w40 and mobil super 2000 10w40......well i would say both oils are good.....but due to the availability of the engine oils, mobil is easier to get and both are price around the same price Eneos RM97 & Mobil RM98(RM93 after using smiles card)....
acceleration wise both pretty much the same and i felt mobil super is much lighter and rev happy......if u want to get mobil, make sure purchase it ONLY @ petrol station.....

thanks for the reply dude...10w40 is semi / full -synthetic? is 10w40 considered as thin oil?.....few days back i just try caltex as u recommend...so far cant notice the different since there are few liters of petronas fuel too...i found out Havoline 10w40 is selling for rm97 at caltex station....thought of using caltex engine oil for my 3rd service....will the proton warranty void?

one more question:
is it true if my engine oil is Havoline(caltex) + my regular pump is caltex..then ONLY i will get the TRUE performance for my car. do you agree with this statement?
or it doesn't matter?


appreciate ur comments/suggestions smile.gif

jack111,

Yes they will keep a record of what oil did you bring, but I can tell you that as long as its a API SJ or higher and the oil comes from a reputable company, you'll be safe. Surely they'll use scare tactics like voiding your warranty so that you'll buy oil from them. However you should always keep an eye on your oil level and always check using the dipstick if the engine consumes the thin oil. Once in a while you should take the dipstick out, hold the stick straight and see if the oil drips down quickly like water, if this is the case your engine will have higher wear than usual. Another indicator would be when you start the engine in the morning, you hear "chit chit chit" sound in the beginning then it goes away, sign that your oil isn't doing its job well.

Most of the engine wear occurs during cold starting in the morning, because throughout the night the oil will drop down along with the pull of gravity.

nsty,

good share of experience there dude..

i do have experience a sound after cold start as you mention.....now i get an idea due to wht the sound occurs...anyway my 3rd service are coming soon....i would appreciate if you recommend me a reliable engine oil...cuz i dont want to use that damn syntium 800 which the SC provided.

Nope, was a petronas user laugh.gif When they started the ron95, i was still using petronas. I can felt the lack of power and my engine was noisier. Plus, my engine and hood will normally resonate a bit loudly around 2800rpm on 1st gear. But when using caltex, the resonance sound reduced a bit and gained some power compared to primax95 (but if course can't beat ron97's power). I started to use caltex when saw the advertisement on paultan and also bro loong comment after using it smile.gif (despite the nearest caltex station located around 4 - 5km from my house sweat.gif )

i'm using shell helix hx7 10w-40, provided by sc

I compiled a list for P1 SC to rectify.

I wonder if they will be rclxub.gif when they look at my compilation or not. blink.gif
Compared to my previous car (MyVi auto) this list of problems are not as serious. My MyVi had serious problems like disc brake warped, steering rack noise... I think i claimed like 10k worth of parts including a massive gearbox leak.... TWICE.

erm, at first pump...the effect can felt a bit different...but after 2nd or 3rd tank....i feel its much better than bhp ron95x2......havent compare with shell or petronas so im not sure.... the 10w40 is semi-synthetic......the oil is just nice for FC and also protection for campro engines.....

well using caltex engine oil with caltex fuel.....maybe better...BUT i dont think it effect so much...some may say yes some may not..up to the people view......

This looks more like 15", the wheels don't look that big and the tyres aren't that low profile.

Actually if you use a ruler you can roughly scale the size of the wheels...

I was away for near to 3 weeks. before i left the country, my car still had slightly more than half tank of Ron97 Primax3 left. Drove until low fuel indicator light lid up, only covered 387km.

Then i go pump Shell Ron95. First time trying Ron95. Pumped rm70 and now, i still got more than 1 quarter tank left and i already travelled 360km. Seems like Ron95 does give me more mileage. Can also feel that it has more power as compared to Ron97. Can feel the difference right after fill up with Ron95 biggrin.gif

the quality actually is not bad considering the price and it's 'proton'..lol.. the problem all stated here are actually manufacturing problems,most ntg to do wif the engine and can be fix by SC..

for IAFM, see here for more info..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campro_engine...pro_IAFM_engine

but most is technical info..but can be summarize as DOHC engine with more power..lol.. it tends to rev a bit longer so for ppl who change gear faster (manual) it provides more power (i think so..lol).. mine is a manual and it does give more power and speed pickup than normal DOHC engines..but for us usual drivers not much difference,maybe a bit more fuel efficient..

erm... based on my experience with myvi (almost 4 years of ownership) i would say persona's built and ride is far far better.

coming from a anti-proton guy... sad to say that Perodua's QC has gone down a lot.... its like they switched places with Proton.

as my mileage when i got is around 38km..so try to check the mileage if its too much lets say 150km/200km above then it could be some other unit (but i may be wrong).....
below 1st service which is 1000km, try to be gentle on the engine and accelerate below 3000rpm and speed below 110km/h as what normally people say...but for me,i had speed up to 150km before 1st service....i dont think is an issue....
as for the service at Service Center....reject those useless item like "engine treatment,oil cleanner,screen washer and etc"...normally for 1000km,5000km,10000km.....the item need to be change is only "engine oil and oil filter" other than that is not necessary... and after 15000km, items like sparkplug,air filter is only needed to be change for 15000km service..even u can change these at 10000km but its up to you...... brows.gif

erm....maybe some unit is test drive as the mileage is high....but im not sure also..haha... yeah u can bring ur own oil, normally the SC will use petronas or shell oils....checking the car,erm basically check everything that is workable... laugh.gif ...eg: like power window,lights,engine oil,coolant,brake fluid, those switches,panel indicator, slam the door for few times see any problem with it, bonnet....and interior parts whether is fitted correctly...

and since u said want to use ur own engine oil, what brand u want to use???.....as normally semi-synthetic is sufficient enough for daily driving which cost around RM80-RM100....and the 1000km,5000km,10000km service cost will be around RM 100-130if u select "engine oil and oil filter only" just to advise u, if SC ask u do take service package, just tell them, you want to do oil change only..as i think the 1st 3 service is enough for oil change....

im using mobil super 2000 (RM98) is far best despite i had tried various kinds of brands like eneos,badhral,shell...maybe u can try....there is no best brand for oil filter....oil filter means oil filter....... biggrin.gif
and please try to avoid buying branded engine oil at spare part shop...like shell,castrol,so on...as there has plenty of fake ones....as everyone is saying it.....best is to get from petrol station if u would like to get oils like shell,petronas,mobil.........good luck on selecting ur oil... brows.gif

guys, i would like to ask that...

since i'm going to do the 20k service, and i'm planning to use the fully-syn engine oil, so that i can skip the 25k service (no need pay the labor fee for 25k) and straight to the 30k service next time.

can i do so?

I don't know which forum you read it from. I search hard also and all forums i read say cannot use garmin on our lokatoo device. Honestly, since i got my Persona SE 3 months ago, i have never used the GPS given coz i read bad reviews/feedback on it.
If can install Garmin, that will be best. Hope some1 here knows and willing to teach.

btw, which forum you read it from? maybe we can ask the people there.

Btw, forumers who said that P1 always pour the whole blardy 4L of oil into the engine and saying that because the engine takes in whole 4L and it became overfilled...

I kenak myself during my first service!! I was about to say don't overfill when i was on the phone....i saw the whole bottle 4L being poured in..

I asked... why whole bottle? He said all Campro engines takes in whole 4L. Ok fine. What ever. Reached home i checked the manual.....it didnt even state 4L engine oil requirement. Its like around 3.7 litres if not mistaken.

So in the morning before i started my engine i checked the oil level. It is ALMOST 1cm above the Max level mark!!!!!!!!!! Now that is overfill!!!

Mad, drove out to hunt for a workshop since its first day of raya. Drained out quite a bit..... Wasted oil man....

The next round i am soo gonna be on their ass to make sure no overfill....

Oh, i am using Shell HX7. Nice and light oil. I love light oils.... it drives much much better. Btw, can Persona engine except 30 weight oil???


BUGGERS.

I think the key to get it work if to first need to understand how this lokatoo executes the application. There's a txt file in the SD card that puts the path of the first executable of the nagivation system when we click the Navigation button on it. After that, I believe the program will read its config file etc in the folder for operation.

Tried changing the path to point to the different executables for the Garmin Mobile XT, but the screen just pops up a while and gone and there will be few beep sound before it goes off.
sigh.. don't know much bout wince and gps stuffs.

perhaps can just give you try. best if you can make it work nod.gif
i'm in PJ. see when you free, we meet up and i pass to you for testing la if you want. you can PM me your contact.

Ya... I myself kena twice from SC already, 1000km + 5000km. Ridiculous to our in whole bottle! I went to my regular Ah Beng, told him and he stared at me incredulously... "Yau mou kau chor ahh????" (You kidding me?)

End result, my filter seal area leaked like a sieve. Made a mess of my porch. 3rd time, I bought a new bottle, poured out about 300ml (about 1 1/2 cups worth) and gave the rest to the SC buggers. This time just ngam ngam only. If I don't do this, they'd pour the whoel %^#$@bottle in again!! Damn SC!!

yours is blue haze or brilliant red ?thinking of buying a persona.not sure whether to opt for medium line or SE.i love black but too bad SE only offers in blue haze and brilliant red.Already compared the interior between SE and medium line,the one with leather is tempting and too bad the one with fabrics the pattern is like a zebra skin shakehead.gif

mine is haze blue. i seem to see more of this colour than brilliant red on the road now. The colour is a bit like a colour the new bmw 3 series has hahaha. quite like it.
i was also considering between a H-Line before i bought it. After that, seeing the leather interior of the SE, the bodykit, the dashboard lights, the cruise control, i was poisoned on buying the SE.
Finally decided to just get the SE because the 3 thousand plus extra seems to be worthwhile. Moreover, since I will be using this car for at least a few years or many more years, I might as well get the best in the range and I can afford the extra 3k plus too.

medium line is fine too, just that i like rear disc brakes. looks more sporty and appealing to me, especially when using sports rim haha.
of course u get the double airbag, remote trunk release etc too if you get a high line or SE.

thought of changing the rims to something more expensive and nice. but after more thoughts, i will just stick to it for a year or 2 until it get some scratches or not that nice anymore. sport rim trade in value, they dont really care much if it's new or used anyway.

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.

They've tighten the screws that day, but the problem still persists. I don't know if it's a good idea to ask them to take it all apart and put together again. Maybe that will solve the rattle.

Shell HX7 i got it for RM98.00

Lighter oils are always better resulting in better performance. During my first service i was shocked to see the mech poured the whole 4L into the engine. He told me that it requires whole 4L.

End of the day i checked the engine oil level after its parked for a long time, meaning all oils are down into the pan... i was shocked to find that the level was well above the MAX mark.

I drove to the nearest mechanic shop to have it drained.......SUCH A WASTE.

Perodua SC all also the same.

My car, on the passenger side front door, if you are closing the door, can hear the window glass rattle a bit when it is fully up. went to eon, but they say dunno how to solve. i diy, by putting something inside the upper rubber that holds the window together when closed, and so far, the rattle has been reduced. but not a permanent solution. any of you experiencing the same problem? any permanent solution?

Will be trying PESC tomorrow. Hopefully they can solve that prob for me. Stoopid EON. Any advice?

Telling them is pointless as they'd do it anyway.

Best is you'd pour out 300ml of the oil an give the rest to the SC.

Do trust the devil but don't trust SC.

And don't forget to reject the magnet thingy on your 1st service , that'll set you back RM68.00!

by default all persona's brake are made spongy right? Can adjust like hard as saga blm brake (instant grip even lightly pressing the pedal)?

in my opinion, i prefer the current brake setup. Persona is a heavy car. Weight distribution during braking pretty much messed up. If the brake system were designed like saga blm, for sure lots of persona would kiss other car butt whistling.gif especially for non-H-line owner (no abs). My own opinion that is blush.gif

i complained the same thing to the SC. They checked and say nothing wrong. Then say it could be because around 2600rpm, that's where the power of the engine comes in.
anyhow, i went to do balancing for my tyres and now the vibration is minimal although still can be felt.

Any ideas how to remove hairline scratches? My naughty nephew tried to clean my car yesterday, by wiping it with tissue paper!!!! I feel like strangling her already. Now there are some scratches, but not so visible unless u look carefully. I've tried using Kit Max Wax, somehow they're less visible now. I've heard about Turtle Wax Swirl and Scratch Remover. Any good? My Persona is Tranquility Black. Feel a bit regret taking that colour now, although it does look damn good.

Steps to install: laugh.gif

Before proceeding, make a backup of the original navigation software by copying a folder named 'Guider' under the SD card root.

1. Download GMXT from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IPEP11SI

2. Download CEDESKTOP from http://rapidshare.com/files/37224775/ceDesktop.exe

3. Extract the downloaded GMXT. Goto \...\Garmin\Apps\WM\. Look for QueBmp240.dll and rename it to QueBmp240_orig.dll. Then look for QueBmp320.dll and rename it to QueBmp240.all.

3. Copy the folder named 'Garmin' to SD card.

4. Rename the downloaded CEDESKTOP to dp_Guider and replace it with the original one under the 'Guider' folder.

5. Reset the device by switching the ON/OFF button.

6. After resetting, tap on the navigation icon. The Windows will be started and then hidden. Tap once again and you will see a Windows CE interface.

7. Now, execute 'SD card\Garmin\Apps\WM\Que.exe' and look for the Card ID. Use the ID to generate unlock code. Create a notepad file and name it SW.UNL. Copy this file to Garmin folder.

8. Copy your GMAPSUPP.img file to the Garmin folder. Done. rclxm9.gif


Happy Journey!


Some knowns bugs: icon_question.gif

1. Settings of Garmin will restore to default after resetting. (Right now I only leave it in Standby mode to prevent this)
2. Volume of the device will increase after configuring the backlight in Garmin. (Uncheck all the checkboxes regarding to backlight setting. Use the original setting of the unit.)
3. The taskbar of Windows CE cannot be shown properly.. hmm.gif

I know exactly how u feel. In my case, it was by my part time maid and it was on my black MyVi (my ex car). I came back from travelling and remembering it was dirty...and suddenly it was sparkling clean.

Check check.... upon close up, to my ABSOLUTE HORROR, swirl marks to my perfectly mirror finish all around the car. I feel like f***ing her already. I really wondered what she used to wash till like that....

Based on my experience, do not and i repeat again......DO NOT USE any SCRATCH REMOVERS stuffs. It will cause your perfectly fine mirror finish to become "hazy". Just apply WAX. If it is still visible, wax it several times.

Eyeing on a pair of Infinity Reference component set.... drool.gif

The one i saw only comes in 5 inch.

And if its too small, can it be fitted by using circular wood panelling?

Sounds just like me. I also love changing my pads... to try.

Added on September 30, 2009, 8:49 am
I know exactly how u feel. In my case, it was by my part time maid and it was on my black MyVi (my ex car). I came back from travelling and remembering it was dirty...and suddenly it was sparkling clean.

Check check.... upon close up, to my ABSOLUTE HORROR, swirl marks to my perfectly mirror finish all around the car. I feel like f***ing her already. I really wondered what she used to wash till like that....

Based on my experience, do not and i repeat again......DO NOT USE any SCRATCH REMOVERS stuffs. It will cause your perfectly fine mirror finish to become "hazy". Just apply WAX. If it is still visible, wax it several times.

Steps to install:  laugh.gif

Before proceeding, make a backup of the original navigation software by copying a folder named 'Guider' under the SD card root.

1. Download GMXT from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IPEP11SI

2. Download CEDESKTOP from http://rapidshare.com/files/37224775/ceDesktop.exe

3. Extract the downloaded GMXT. Goto \...\Garmin\Apps\WM\. Look for QueBmp240.dll and rename it to QueBmp240_orig.dll. Then look for QueBmp320.dll and rename it to QueBmp240.all.

3. Copy the folder named 'Garmin' to SD card.

4. Rename the downloaded CEDESKTOP to dp_Guider and replace it with the original one under the 'Guider' folder.

5. Reset the device by switching the ON/OFF button.

6. After resetting, tap on the navigation icon. The Windows will be started and then hidden. Tap once again and you will see a Windows CE interface.

7. Now, execute  'SD card\Garmin\Apps\WM\Que.exe' and look for the Card ID. Use the ID to generate unlock code. Create a notepad file and name it SW.UNL. Copy this file to Garmin folder.

8. Copy your GMAPSUPP.img file to the Garmin folder.  Done.  rclxm9.gif
Happy Journey!
Some knowns bugs:  icon_question.gif

1. Settings of Garmin will restore to default after resetting. (Right now I only leave it in Standby mode to prevent this)
2. Volume of the device will increase after configuring the backlight in Garmin. (Uncheck all the checkboxes regarding to backlight setting. Use the original setting of the unit.)
3. The taskbar of Windows CE cannot be shown properly..  hmm.gif

Hi, where to get the GMAPSUPP.img file, is it need to be download separately? is it a very big file?

It's free!

well as for gps by looking at the video of other using a1000 and a900

they are using SD Unlock program[which usually for mio] where it make 2nd interface when pressing the navigation button..which inside mainly u can put any application as long as Windows CE 5 apps..that y they can provide papago x2 and garmin also with original gps


nyway instead of running 'SD card\Garmin\Apps\WM\Que.exe' try run Garmin.exe at \Storage Card\Garmin\RunGMXT\Garmin.exe

this will hide the taskbar nicely...

No. It is best (budget wise) to add motion sensor fitted onto the dashboard wired to the stock alarm system. And buy a portable brake lock. Do not buy those stupid steering lock locking the steering wheel and the brake pedal. Those are soo easily cut (at the steering wheel) and removed.

It is something like this

Luckily its multilink.... if torsion beam... the ride quality will be different already. but then in terms of maintenance, torsion beam cost less because of the less parts and bushings.

To overcome this problem, first of all, set the backlight of your unit to 'Always ON'. Then in the setting of Garmin, goto 'Settings > Display > Backlight Override' and uncheck all the check boxes. This will prevent the program to trigger the bug. smile.gif Hope this helps!

Currently myself is using Garmin on my Nokia xpress 5800. I found that the orignal GPS from my A800 is not user friendly. Therefore I just 'jail' it in my kampung tongue.gif

sweat.gif sweat.gif ....the engine does not need 4L..la...even let 3.6/3.7 is more than enough as it will show MAX mark or even lower a bit......overfill is not a good thing as it will weaken the seals in the long run thus leaking next time.....best is 1mm below MAX or put in between of MIN & MAX is also enough as it give better FC and lighter acceleration.....just go drain it...la....go normal workshop and tell them to drain it as its overfilled....or best is change oil filter and the oil will decrease a bit......

And guys, I think all the Persona IAFM in M'sia are using multilink for the rear suspension. I've checked with a mechanic. thumbup.gif

But this site, Proton Turkey states that the rear is using Torsion Beam Axle with coil springs. hmm.gif

Hey guys, last few days my 1.x years old persona started giving out weird screeching sounds from the front wheel area...this is different from the knocking sound from the front wheel that is so famous in the persona when going over bumps. This sound is a screeching sound and it happens even when travelling on a perfectly smooth road. however, the sound seems to be quite random. When i'm driving, 50% of the time i can hear the sound and the other 50% the car is normal.

Anyone ever encountered the same problem? My car is in the SC now being troubleshooted..hope they find the problem lol. Thanks abunch for your input.

Update: The SC says that my brake pads are worn out..need to replace..the options are
ORI set : bosch - RM 350 (too exp)
Locus (not sure of name) : RM 140, never heard of it before, any input?
Mintye : RM 100 but not goin to go for this as it has bad reviews.

So i told him that i want to buy my own pads and let him install. He says service charge is RM 50. Is this reasonable?
Btw, i'm looking to buy a Rapid Stop pair. Do you know where i can get a pair of this quick? does ENEOS@ 1 utama carry this brand? And may i know the estimated price for RS pads? Thank you.

screeching sound? can it be the brakes are not properly released and still touching the disc?

is your ride lowered? maybe the car tyre touching the chassis?

It's 33,000 km since i got my ride. No problem so far. Unless all this while the brakes not properly released? My ride is unmodified, everything is stock standard. btw, i've updated my original post with the input from the SC. Any further advice?

Hey guys, last few days my 1.x years old persona started giving out weird screeching sounds from the front wheel area...this is different from the knocking sound from the front wheel that is so famous in the persona when going over bumps. This sound is a screeching sound and it happens even when travelling on a perfectly smooth road. however, the sound seems to be quite random. When i'm driving, 50% of the time i can hear the sound and the other 50% the car is normal.

Anyone ever encountered the same problem? My car is in the SC now being troubleshooted..hope they find the problem lol. Thanks abunch for your input.

Update: The SC says that my brake pads are worn out..need to replace..the options are
ORI set : bosch - RM 350 (too exp)
Locus (not sure of name) : RM 140, never heard of it before, any input?
Mintye : RM 100 but not goin to go for this as it has bad reviews.

It is Lucas smile.gif DON, Lucas all also not bad..acceptable quality. If i had the money, i would go for EBC..

Screeching sound? Is it the brake pad wear indicator(metal) squeek..?

Yeah i just went over to the SC during lunch time and confirmed it. It's Lucas. But what does DON mean? Is it the pad model? How much for a EBC pad? my budget is max RM 150 wor. Also, may i ask where to buy those brake pads? such as RS, Bendix, EBC? preferably within PJ area. Does ENEOS @ 1 Utama carry those brands? Thanks in advance...

The least I go is when the meter shown about 30. Anyway, my fren told me that better pump petrol before yellow light.
if always under tank (< 50), will easily cause the fuel meter rosak.

The two files are for PaPaGO X3, you may use either one (No key needed). And YES, for Garmin, you need different key for different SD cards or devices.

Thank you for your input. I checked with an accesorries shop. Quoted me RM 110 for Bendix Metal King Titanium. So i placed an order with him. This model should be okay right? with adequate stopping power and long life. however, based on reviews i read, the Bendix MKT is harsh on the discs? how true is this may i know? Have you tried using MKT before?

Next up, installation. The proton SC quoted me RM 40 for installation. Is this a fair price? or can i do it elsewhere for much cheaper?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance ralf bro.

Helo guys,

Im new here, owned a 2007 M/T , m line persona.

Just like to know if any of you installed a K&N drop in filter?
Im hoping it will smoothen the rpm range of 2000-2300. My car have a rather harsh note on that rpm which coincides with the torque curve.

Sigh, my internal center roof lamp just died. My car is not even 4 months old, already died. Really low quality. I only put it to the middle position where it will light up everytime open the doors.

Wonder is it the bulb or something else. Guess i need to ask them to check/replace during my 3rd service soon. Is this covered by warranty or is this considered normal wear and tear parts?


oh btw, i also just installed and tested the Papago X3 on my A900. Works ok.

Thanks to roiss for sharing the instructions!

yes, i had this problem also on my 3 months old persona, finally i found the cause, it is because of 1 hose (rubber pipe) on the top side of the engine (on top of the crank pulley) went the wrong path, the hose should be power steering hose or aircon hose, cant remember, it stuck beneath the metal frame/support, so when you pull the gear from N to D, the engine tilt forward, and stretch the hose and the irritating shaking sound will occur.

Just put the hose on top of the metal frame/support so it wont stretch by the engine then no more sound liao...

ahah... the reverse sensors...

my experience; reverse my car quite fast for the 3-point-turn but only able to make only 1 turn becoz already knocked down my dad's motorcycle down. Paint job damaged too.. shop said that can be recovered by polished.. but, nevermind ah.. i let it as it is to remind me to be careful next time.

someone's nightmare experience; at KLIA airport, he make a reverse parking to get into the lot. But, knocked the pillar although i guess he moved the car adequately slow. Paint job damaged. body still OK..

So, my guess, don't trust the sensors. You still have to see thru the side/rear mirror and be sure before move your car to reverse.

want to make the sound louder.. i remember someone said can move the speaker from the rear boot to somewhere else (inside the cabin?) maybe?

Haha hey regarding the soft reverse sensor beep, you can try to flat fold your rear seats and you'll hear very loud beeps! Other than seating passengers, the rear seats also absorb and insulate sound, so you'll hear very very soft beeps because the beeping speaker is placed in the boot area. Once you fold your rear seats, you'll experience lots of noise intrusion into the cabin also

Was really in a hurry just now, and when reversing, i reversed into an Atos at the back.  sad.gif  Aiyo, my heart broke when seeing the scratches on my bumper, but then I realised, only scratches, but the Atos got a deep dent at the bumper.  nod.gif
Atleast that made me feel better, although some effort is needed to cover the scratches and remove the paint. Now I really really have no mood dy..  sad.gif

I kenot tahan la seeing the scratches on the bumper. No other way except for repaint, as the paint has peeled, but not so obvious, since my car is black. Went to the spray shop today, quoted RM 100 to paint the scratched part. He is confident that it will look the same and no difference can be seen after repaint. But he also said that if I'm afraid, I can paint the whole bumper, for RM 150. What do you guys think? Can the repaint be noticeable?

another thing,

is it possible to remote on the amplifier with the stock persona player? because i argued with the technician the other day. he said persona players cannot tap the wires to remote on the amplifier. therefore, my amplifier will be immediately switched on when the car key is turned regardless my player is on or not.

ps. i had my amplifier remote on with my stock myvi player. So i cannot understand how come this technician dunno how to do. I heard that most probably he lacks knowledge to manipulate the wires???

Depends on where you are from. If you are in the Klang valley, Jln 227 PJ is OK with it. But please insist on your own lube. when making appointment. Proton SC will always try to push their Petronas by exploiting gullible car owners. Know your rights and they will back down. You can always check with the SC when making appointment before sending in you car. All service consumables & spares are always very much cheaper when purchased from reputable spare part stockists.

Look at side mirror, not the back view mirror.

Judge the distance of the bumper to the car behind by looking at the car parked next to you.

Yeah, true true. Yesterday, driving 90 km in penang island , pusing here and there..more than one bar fuel gone already! How i drive? Revv less than 2.4k rpm, gear change at 2k rpm or lower..FC still 8.5L/100km ! cry.gif Bear in mind, this is Sunday pleasure drive with less traffic..
Tyre inflate to 33psi front, 32psi rear...

I just figure out CAMPRO, the moment you start the engine, just drive it...Idling and stuck in slow traffic, good luck then..

very well..must find some good accessories workshop to connect the wiring, if it's applicable...
If Wira could have it installed and wired, why not Persona?

Steps to install:  laugh.gif

Before proceeding, make a backup of the original navigation software by copying a folder named 'Guider' under the SD card root.

1. Download GMXT from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IPEP11SI

2. Download CEDESKTOP from http://rapidshare.com/files/37224775/ceDesktop.exe

3. Extract the downloaded GMXT. Goto \...\Garmin\Apps\WM\. Look for QueBmp240.dll and rename it to QueBmp240_orig.dll. Then look for QueBmp320.dll and rename it to QueBmp240.all.

3. Copy the folder named 'Garmin' to SD card.

4. Rename the downloaded CEDESKTOP to dp_Guider and replace it with the original one under the 'Guider' folder.

5. Reset the device by switching the ON/OFF button.

6. After resetting, tap on the navigation icon. The Windows will be started and then hidden. Tap once again and you will see a Windows CE interface.

7. Now, execute  'SD card\Garmin\Apps\WM\Que.exe' and look for the Card ID. Use the ID to generate unlock code. Create a notepad file and name it SW.UNL. Copy this file to Garmin folder.

8. Copy your GMAPSUPP.img file to the Garmin folder.  Done.  rclxm9.gif
Happy Journey!
Some knowns bugs:  icon_question.gif

1. Settings of Garmin will restore to default after resetting. (Right now I only leave it in Standby mode to prevent this)
2. Volume of the device will increase after configuring the backlight in Garmin. (Uncheck all the checkboxes regarding to backlight setting. Use the original setting of the unit.)
3. The taskbar of Windows CE cannot be shown properly..  hmm.gif

Where can i find the Card ID? Thanks.

3rd:i dont have this problem.

Added on October 8, 2009, 9:12 pm
yes,  i had this problem also on my 3 months old persona, finally i found the cause, it is because of 1 hose (rubber pipe) on the top side of the engine (on top of the crank pulley) went the wrong path, the hose should be power steering hose or aircon hose, cant remember, it stuck beneath the metal frame/support, so when you pull the gear from N to D, the engine tilt forward, and stretch the hose and the irritating shaking sound will occur.

Just put the hose on top of the metal frame/support so it wont stretch by the engine then no more sound liao...

Wah that simple only? I sent my car to 5 different center non of it found the solution for me. U found this solution by urself ? And 1 stupid question where is the crank pulley?

The persona should be a 2-din hu. In the garage sales got people selling the custom hu cover for gen2/persona. That should make the dashboard a bit narutal when installing after market hu

For a b-line owner, shouldn't worry too much, but for m-line and above owner, have to sacrifice the buttons at the steering sweat.gif

1) Are your rear seat the split/foldable type? If they are, the sound is most likely caused by the locking mechanism (specifically the striker) of the foldable rear seat back. The seat lock striker is similar to the door lock striker found at the centre pillar & rear quarter panel of all 4 door saloon cars which hooks on the door lock when you close the doors. You just need to use a bit of electrical tape( those for insulating wires) to insulate the seat back striker & the sound will be eliminated. That's what I did on my Persona. First, I thought the sound was from the suspension but no it is cause by the locking mechanism of the rear seat back when the car moves & vibrate. Remember not to use too much tape or else you won't be ale to fold the rear seat back to its original position. If your rear seats are not the type stated above. My guess is as good as yours.

2) Does the sound from the air-con occur all the the time or only when you turn on the a/c & gone later. Is it some sort of a hissing sound. If it is, it is the normal sound emanating from the expansion valve. I suggest you increase the volumn of the radio & enjoy the coolness i.e if the a/c is still cold. My month old Persona can be excruciatingly cold even at the almost lowest temperature.


3)Have not explore the possibility of lighting up the ignition key hole light yet. Not really a priority.

Lastly, please don't expect too much from a 50K plus car. Even a 78K E-spec (lowest) VIOS has it fair share of problems. To me, IMO, as an average Joe, any car below 70K is a cheap car. And the Persona as a whole offers cheap solutions.

Problems and problems...but what the hack, for a complete car with RM60k and below...bear with it la...

1. The front metal clunking sound when turning on uneven ground, be it left or right - not solved.

2. The rattling sound at the air-cond blower - "glak...glak..." sound, not solved.

3. The ignition key hole light? YES, it is there - but no light.

4. The seatbelt warning indicator - not functioning, but hope it is, with a silent one.

5. FC? Fuiyoh...town-driving sucks, like water-drinking only...less than 320km full tank. But for Hi-way, fuiyoh again...about 450km full tank - SHELL supersavers la...

Congrats, consider yourself just been robbed.

My Ah Beng does all the above for only costs of material plus maybe RM20 labour. Whole thing take maybe 20 minutes.

Estimated Material cost:

FS Oil - 200
Oil filter - 10
plugs - 16
labour - 20

Estimated RM246 only.

I have exactly the same problems.

I can confirm with my Ah Beng that it is not possible to install lights for the keyhole as there is no bracket for it. Perhaps other people may have better idea?

Careful of the Magnecrap thingy or they'll cheat you of your RM68.00! Bloody useless crap!

Yes you can bring your own oil. Don't believe the SCammers when they say that you have to accept their Petronas oil.

If warranty is critical to you, you have to go to Proton SCammer.

Bring your own oil
change oil, filter and plugs only. If not mistaken at 40000km only. Check your manual.

For the above, outside workshop will charge only 20 max for labour. If SCammer charge RM100+ for labour for the same thing, then the warranty is not worth the paper its printed on.

Don't do other things like alignment, car wash etc or the SCammer will charge you an arm and a leg.

Best is to ask for the labour charge 1st! Don't wait till you get the bill.

owh..molotov cocktail, Mobil Super S is same as Mobil Super 2000....mobil has change the packaging to Mobil Super 2000 for a new look.....either one is the same....no worries....=).....so hws the mobil semi syn so far???....lighter?? laugh.gif

add on: its not necessary to change gear oil at 1st service....maybe they chop you cause bring own oil, so they insist you to change gear oil to recover their lose.. brows.gif just to tell you honestly....avoid taking pakages where everything is included...just tell them the parts you want to change...

like 1st (1000km), 2nd (5000km), 3rd (10000km)....you only need to change:
1)engine oil
2)oil filter
3)spark plugs (10000km or 15000/20000km also can) (i change the first spark plug at around 20000km)
4)gear oil/atf fluid (20000km/30000km) depends on driving style hard or smooth
5)air filter (10000km/15000km)
6)coolant (every 15000km-25000km or 2years) try to use good coolant like "caltex long life and toyota long life"
7)others (depend tear and wear) rclxms.gif

hope this helps...even you know d... whistling.gif

Why do you need to change the gear oil in your 1st service? Did they just do it or did you ask them to do it?

really? no need to change gear oil at first service, i think i've read it somewhere that for a manual car for the first service need to change engine oil, filter n gear oil, for the mobile super s i feel lighter acceleration but the pickup as slow as before changing the oil, fyi i use caltex petrol, plan to try bhp next, as i need the pickup to overtake, currently the pickup doesnt satisfy me, some people say go for mobil petrol for pickup, maybe i'll give a try later

I see people recommend Mobil Super 2000, but I can only find 10W-40, the booklet says we need 20W-50 to keep the warranty, is 10W-40 better than 20W-50? I assume the higher/lower the upper/lower number the better so 10W is better than 20W, but 40 is lower than 50.

Can someone confirm if Manual Gear Oil is required to be changed in the 1st service?

Also I have coupons for services (1k, 5k, 10k etc), does it mean free labour during services?

Also Molotov did they overfill the engine oil as we require 3.7l, mobil comes in 4l, did they give you back the leftovers?

Manual gear oil no need to change

Yes, free labour for 1k, 5k + 19k servies, provided you don't fall for their famous scams like X1R, magnecrap, car engine wash.

Yes, they always overfill the engine oil. Make sure you pour out a bit, say 0.5 lt then give the remainder for them to fill. Do not trust them not to overfill. Overfilling can damage your engine.

Nothing is accurate in the Persona. They can;t even install the meter cluster properly at the centre. Mine is off center.

I only hear the kok sound when i'm going over a hump with steering to the right (haven't tried left) while going down into underground carpark. If it's the same noise I would assume it gotta do with something near the suspension?

BTW since there are so many Proton users here, why not consolodate a list of service centres & their reviews?

I think no one has any concrete answers. My klunking sound was "fixed" 2 months back but only resulted in a 50% reduction in volume and frequency of the noise.

The klunking sound is Proton's way of saying thanks for your continuing support and reminding you to keep buying Proton.

I believe this issue faced by most of the Persona owner who bought the car before May 2009. My car also facing metal klonking sound when turn to the right hand side on an uneven road, you won't get the sound if you turn left, unless the hole is big or the road is very uneven.

I asked the Cheras SC on my first 2 services, their department head told me, it was caused by the metal power steering hose, can't be solved, he said no solution from Proton Headquarter. Then on my 3rd service, I took my car to Damansara 3S SC, it took them 2 days to check the issue, then result is they said it was caused by the air condition component and no solution from Proton Technical Headquarter, but they already knew the issue and looking to solve this.... 2 different SC told me different cause of problem, I wonder if I take to their technical headquarter at Bukit Kemuning, don't know what reason they will give this time...

My Persona SE bought in January 2009, and until now already 9 month, still no solution!!! I am now really regret to support Proton again....

I am looking to see if there is anyway that we can take legal action to sue Proton? This is a new car, not used car, if is used car, I understand, but this is a NEW car, but acting like old car....

Or else if there are people who fixed this problem... PLEASE PLEASE share your solution... We can't rely on Proton SC, now only can seek from other people help...

By the way, my friend bought Persona SE at October, so far he don't have this issue... I believe they solve for new car, but don't care about existing owner who has the problem...

Then on my 3rd service, I took my car to Damansara 3S SC, it took them 2 days to check the issue, then result is they said it was caused by the air condition component and no solution from Proton Technical Headquarter, but they already knew the issue and looking to solve this.... 2 different SC told me different cause of problem, I wonder if I take to their technical headquarter at Bukit Kemuning, don't know what reason they will give this time...

My Persona SE bought in January 2009, and until now already 9 month, still no solution!!! I am now really regret to support Proton again....

I am looking to see if there is anyway that we can take legal action to sue Proton? This is a new car, not used car, if is used car, I understand, but this is a NEW car, but acting like old car....

Or else if there are people who fixed this problem... PLEASE PLEASE share your solution... We can't rely on Proton SC, now only can seek from other people help...

By the way, my friend bought Persona SE at October, so far he don't have this issue... I believe they solve for new car, but don't care about existing owner who has the problem...

mine is non-iafm automatic also.......most of the time will touch 190km with no dropping gear and hard revving...just smoothly pressing the pedal.....when wanna go topspeed, just turn off aircond...it give less stress on the engine and thus, it will give u more power.....if u on aircond, it will reach 190km or (195km) (tested on klia with 3people in the car) but slower compare to OFF completely..... brows.gif  brows.gif

I have done 195 Km on the way to PD. I started with one BLM also .. it was hard to overtake the guy at first after a while a few emergancy brakes the BLM was no where near.. but i have to say persona is very stable but then the brakes sometimes feels a bit spongy.. flex.gif

It's an automotive filter in which activated carbon has been placed so that gas tank fuel vapors, which have accumulated when the vehicle is not running, are trapped in the filter.

•When the engine is running, hot air is forced into the filter and push out the vapors into the engine.
•In this way, pollution is reduced and conservation of the fuel is maintained.
•Also called activated charcoal trap or charcoal canister.

Based on replies... seems like nobody have any concrete answers.... i am also looking for the source of the sound myself during my free time. Again, i appeal to those who have solutions... please voice up.

Side note: Those driving IAFM models take note. The engine breather hose on the right side (you facing the engine). This hose apparently will rub badly against the throttle body electrical wiring plastic holder. Mine less than 3k mileage already got cut quite badly on its surface of the rubber hose. I have DIY padded it to avoid further damages.

Opps! Forgotten yours is A800. My fault. tongue.gif I'm not sure which port is A800 using. You try it one by one until you get the 'Scanning Attached' done. If the right COM port is selected. You will see a number of satellites in the bar graph and also the orbit else wrong COM port. Tell me if it works. smile.gif

Maybe u can have someone stand outside and try to hear where the sound coming from when turn right on uneven surface.

Can post pic about the hose the will rub against throttle body wiring holder? How you DIY it? I'm going for 1st maintenance can get SC to DIY?

Can someone press their rear boot and see if the metal will sink in when you press it? Mine is solid on the left part but right part the metal sink in when i apply abit of pressure.

What is the range of our alarm sensor? Seems I need to be really close to unlock the doors.

Also is the pickup slower than kelisa? Seems I always slower than those Saga Taxi & Kelisa on 1st gear.

1. When you said copy to SDMMC to you mean the root folder of SD Card or SDMMC folder of SD Card?
2. Do we need to change any of the file to point to this? Default is pointing to Guider folder.

Having tried GMXT & PaPaGO X3 which would you recommend base on bugs, performance, accuracy etc...

Hi ryujimitsui, myself took about 3 days only gao tim the garmin installation.
The instruction from Roiss quite clear. Perhaps you need to override the APPS folder, voice folder, RunGMXT folder for few times.

Added on October 21, 2009, 3:50 pmOh ya.. Roiss, are you using Garmin or Papago now??
Did you copy POI into the garmin folder?
I did so. I have a copy from my mobile, I try it as well in A800, it works great. And the map I am using now is dated 12 Oct 2009 smile.gif
If you need one, I may upload to share it with you smile.gif

For A900 user, i wouldn't recommended Garmin.. bcoz it so slow and keep on hang while u navigate..
...due to A900 lack of RAM..
i don't know about a800 cz i hv no xperience in it.. hmm.gif

on the other hand, PAPAGO is better... it work very smoothly
+ it have 3D building... rclxms.gif

look for roiss instruction in installing PAPAGO X3 in earlier page..it may help thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

QUOTE(roiss @ Oct 5 2009, 05:40 PM)
Steps to install PaPaGO X3:

1. Download software from HERE.

2. Download SETTING_EN from HERE.

3. Download patch from HERE.

4. Extract and copy the PaPaGO folder to SDMMC.

5. Replace the extracted SETTING_EN with the existing one in 'Organic > EN (English)'

6. Extract the patch, copy it to the PaPaGO folder and launch the program by using the patch.

1. Yes, root folder.
2. You just need to rename 'ceDesktop' to 'dp_Guider' and replace it.

Both are good in performance and accuracy, it's just the matter of insufficiency in memory for the Garmin to perform properly. So, I'll recommend you PaPaGO X3 as it runs smoothly, moreover it has 3D buildings + junction view. thumbup.gif

the things you stated is indeed not the manual book. go back and ask for it.
the manual book is quite comprehensive and it has answers to all the questions you raised earlier.

my blm gt that klong klong sound too when turn right and move on uneven road...it sounds like absorber or steering rack loosen like that...

Yes, this sound happened to most of the Persona and Saga as I heard from the technician.

QUOTE(2fast2furious @ Oct 20 2009, 05:05 PM)
Based on replies... seems like nobody have any concrete answers.... i am also looking for the source of the sound myself during my free time. Again, i appeal to those who have solutions... please voice up.

Side note: Those driving IAFM models take note. The engine breather hose on the right side (you facing the engine). This hose apparently will rub badly against the throttle body electrical wiring plastic holder. Mine less than 3k mileage already got cut quite badly on its surface of the rubber hose. I have DIY padded it to avoid further damages.
*
How to say is IAFM model? My Persona SE was out on January, is that IAFM model? As I knew, shouldn't be.
There are actually a lot of people have different kind of solution, but never confirm it is work perfectly. Some said using heat insulation rubber to wrap up the power steering metal hose, then the sound will gone. But after listened to the technician at Damansara S3 SC, they said is because of the air cond component pulak... I also dunno who to trust...
I wish is there any Proton SC HQ technician here that can help??? Really hopeless now...

Anyway, is your Garmin lagging on A800? Mine refresh very slowly.. I'm only using 2D view for navigation..  tongue.gif

Added on October 21, 2009, 6:39 pm
1. Yes, root folder.
2. You just need to rename 'ceDesktop' to 'dp_Guider' and replace it.

Both are good in performance and accuracy, it's just the matter of insufficiency in memory for the Garmin to perform properly. So, I'll recommend you PaPaGO X3 as it runs smoothly, moreover it has 3D buildings + junction view. thumbup.gif

1. Settings of Garmin will restore to default after resetting. (Right now I only leave it in Standby mode to prevent this)
2. Volume of the device will increase after configuring the backlight in Garmin. (Uncheck all the checkboxes regarding to backlight setting. Use the original setting of the unit.)
3. The taskbar of Windows CE cannot be shown properly..  hmm.gif

3. Manage once to launch Garmin directly when pressing the Navigation key but can't seems to now.

Persona SE only has fiber. What I understand is you need to leave the car for spray paint after installation. Approximately RM990. Mine PU was RM12xx. Jack 012-409 6052.

It's for PPG, not Garmin. For PPG what I do is create a folder within PaPaGO\Maps\ called MFMyymmdd & copy all the 27 files in there.

I should be able to get the re-packaging ready this weekend with the latest MFM maps & tapping on navigation will launch PPG directly. Still no luck to launch PPG upon startup of GPS but this is much better than navigating through CEDesktop furthermore can use the other utilities. thumbup.gif

I drive a Red SE. Common problems:

1 Rattling aircon
2 Famous Persona clunking sound
3 Squeaks at the back
4 misaligned meter cluster

As for the tinted film - its a joke! That kind of tinted film you can do outside for only RM150 whole car! Useless under the sun! Got it stripped off and retinted for RM1100. Best money I ever spent.

It exists on the whole range of Persona models, not just the SE.

While the squeaky noise at the back is solvable with electrician's black tape, the famous persona klunking noise is still a great mystery to all of us and is considered unsolvable. It is a built-in design fault I believe.

Some other owners have more problems than me.

And don't forget the infamous Proton SCammers. Be very very careful of them!

Yes but more like a buzzing sound. I am not sure if it comes from the aircon or not. It seems to come from the glove box (which is empty) but I could be wrong.

It'll take me some time too as I need to drive my car up the service ramps that can be found on older gas stations.

i own a A900 GPS, successfully upgrade to papago x3 base on those step by step guide by sifu here. Anyway, i have this problem. Whenever i switch off the GPS using the back side button, the time & date will be reset. But if sleep mode, the time & date will remain. I have this problem since the 1st day i get. Is this normal?

i think the reset date & time only temporarily, once u enter PAPAGO X3 and the satelite searching is complete, all the time and date will go to the current time & date. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

just hv to wait a while... mine A900 also like that.
dunno if it doesn't work for u.. hmm.gif

i think the rattling sound is because of the aircon vent itself, the adjustor may be loose because mine is, adjust it a little and the rattling sound gone.

Hmm...may be what you say is true, as i did notice sometime the time go on normal. Will try it again just to double confirm. Anyway, just to ensure that this is not the device faulty else i still able to claim. Papago x3 really work great, even in sarawak. although hardly to use it in sarawak, i guess this device should work great if we bring alone during travelling.

I drive a Red SE.  Common problems:

1 Rattling aircon
2 Famous Persona clunking sound
3 Squeaks at the back
4 misaligned meter cluster

As for the tinted film - its a joke!  That kind of tinted film you can do outside for only RM150 whole car!  Useless under the sun!  Got it stripped off and retinted for RM1100.  Best money I ever spent.

I have my H-line persona less then 1 weeks. At the moment, i have the problem as below:-

1. Ratlling aircond, once i off it then the sound will gone. not sure what cause it.
2. Clunking sound, coming from back side. not sure where the sound from.
3. Plastic sound coming out from both front side door panel if speaker too loud.
4. Back cover of my steering is loose.

Hope no more problem coming, after this.

Btw, do anyone of you tinted your ride without take off the door panel? As my friend advise me not to do so, as the rattling sound will come out after dismantle and install back. But a lot of tinted shop told me have to dismantle, else the tinted wont look nice. Any suggestion?

Nope, tried that.

Here's my hunch for the rattling sound.

There is a loose object inside the blower casing, perhaps a washer? nut? plastic thingy?

Whatever it is, when the blower fan turns the fan blades can and will rub agaist the loose object causing the rattling sound.

However sometimes either the moving air or one of the blades dislodge the loose object. The object makes a loud "CLACK" sound as it strikes the casing wall. There it lodges against another crevice. As you drive, the car movement sometimes also can dislodge the object and if the fan blades strike the object it causes the annoying rattling sound again.

The rattling and CLACK sound is totally random and caused by both the blades as well as car movements. The rattling was already there when I collected my car from the dealer. Didn;t think much of it at that time.

So far I have not opened the casing at Proton SCammer but one of these days I will get to the bottom of this.

Has anyone tried go there to get the blower casing open?
