It's kinda strange as Wira had it, but Persona doesn't have it...especially Persona SE... I went to few accessories shops but they said not able to install one... i believe..i read a post about this matter in this forum. there is a guy who open his persona dashboard and discover..there is already the ignition key light installed..comes with bulb also..but the wiring is not connected to main power. me myself discover..there is a clear round thing that surround the key hole..and i believe to be the ignition key light

This time try using Petronas full synthetic engine oil..so far so good..engine become smoother. better pickup also The SC charged me rm120 for 20k service ..is it normal? So far..all minor problem solved..except the famous 'clunking' sound..and the IAFM The IAFM was out of stock..a lot of cars claimed on it. This thing..really give me a s**t!

Besi	QUOTE(dARKaNGEl @ Nov 18 2009, 10:59 AM) why do u need magnatrap for rm68 for? the battery water, bulb room lamp and screen washer is a rip off. I also recently changed my bulb room lamp @10k service and mine was rm5.xx. why the difference in price? outside i bought a bulb for the room lamp and only cost me rm2. but it burned again, that's y i brought to the sc for them to check up if it was due to wiring or some other thing. they order the entire room lamp socket to change for me. the magnetrap is use to trap any metal particle in engine. they recommend to install it..never mind lor..since i still have the 1k voucher. for the bulb..they shouldn't charged me..since my car is only 7 months old..but it's part of tear & wear..so they charged QUOTE 4) element air cleaner<<--what is this for?? i also don't know what is that for..maybe they change the aircond air filter? anyone?

Besi	i think there are only two types of battery available in our market..the wet & dry battery the wet one..we need to check the water regularly..the life circle is longer than the dry one (according to mechanic)..1 year - 2 years. while the dry type..it is maintainance free..use it until kong..but the life circle is shorter..1 year plus plus only. it term of price..the dry one is more expensive..maybe because of the 'maintenance free'. both can be use for our persona..the battery clipper is adjustable one..don't worry. last time i changed my viva battery the original one was wet type (about 1.5 years old)..then, i changed it to the dry.

New Member Junior Member 41 posts Joined: Apr 2009 From: Sg. Besi	QUOTE(2fast2furious @ Dec 7 2009, 01:26 PM) Btw, any idea how much is the unit of IAFM costs? And how long will the replacement IAFM unit last before it konked again? My current mileage is 5k plus. My IAFM made noises when it was just 4k mileage. Damn it... waiting for the warranty claim replacement unit to arrive. your case is same with me. my car only about 3 months old when the engine started make that noise. need to pray hard before it konk again..better before my warranty end QUOTE(advocado @ Dec 7 2009, 11:14 PM) The fuel indicator has the tendency to drop exponentially after the 1/4 mark. After the light turns on you can still travel some distance. yeah..you still can travel some distance. last weekend..when i was travelling from my home town to KL..the fuel indicator turns on at teluk kemang..then continue driving to seremban and refuel at Seremban R&R. i think..it's about 50km

Besi	» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(2fast2furious @ Dec 8 2009, 11:20 AM) I emailed to Proton and copy paste for you all to see. QAR18 - IAFM & right hand front wheel problems.. Dear Sir, Can you kindly explain to me the following:- 1. IAFM defect / failure producing "tak tak tak tak" sound 2. Right hand front wheel noise ("tak" / knocking sound when turning while driving on uneven road) For item no.1 please explain to me why on earth can it fail at such short time? Since i am currently on the waiting list to have mine replaced under warranty, how long will it last? Another lousy 5k mileage? Besides having the annoying "tak tak tak" sounding like a diesel car or a car with around 15 years old and above, what else would it effect? Higher fuel consumption? For item no.2, i had this problem the first day i got the car and checked about 3 times by your service center and seemed like there was no solutions to it. Apparently, your mechanics could not detect / find where the sound comes from and was told to continue driving it till perhaps it got louder then have it checked again. Why is this? Mind you, these two problems are very widely discussed and complained in forums and in the general public. And since my car is brand new having such nonsense problems is really a pain in the ass. What is Proton going to do about it? My details are: Name: Mr. Vehicle: Proton Persona 1.6 (A) Reg. No.: QAR18 Year and registration date: 2009 / 4th September 2009 Contact No.: 0128828* I thank you for your attention and look forward to your early response haha..good job!
