rawwrrr...v7... enjoy for new owners....

just changed my right fog lamps to original ones because earlier was crack, then change to taiwan ones burnt..and it costs RM110 with labor... ...
btw for B-line owners who want to add front speakers but prefer cheap ones...i have my original stock speaker from my M-Line & selling for RM50....just need some wiring only which can be done at accessories shop.... :-)

you can judge visually by looking at the color of the coolant....even its green, the properties in the coolant might wear off..... best i would say for coolant change is every 20-25k....

...normally coolant can last 1year or 20k.....for coolant you dont need to use proton ones, try caltex long life or toyota long life...that can last you even longer as twice/triple longer compare to normal green coolant

yeah..blaupunkt...

only front is laminated...the 4doors and rear is tempered....same goes to majority cars like vios,city

@necromencer
wow...how much for everything???

imo..
front grill-ugly,prefer the current ones
meter console-even more uglier, big number and the temperature/fuel meter looks sucks...like didnt design properly
rims-not really nice
skirting might not be necessary...

other than that, the 32bits ecu is the only plus point and should introduce upon launching.... ....the beauty of the car not really as nice as the current models...

the ECU will have auto wiper activation, auto dimming light, and smoother driving..but this kind of feature should have introduce since it was launch....another gimmick to find more money...

yes you are right...best is too check the engine oil level in the morning before starting the engine....other than that, even you off your engine for few hours, it does take sometime to get accurate results...so best is morning when its cold....never crack the engine yet..... a lot machanics does not know the way of checking it which they normally start the engine to make it run for few seconds, then check....

as for the automatic gear oil....warm up the engine, then shift P>R>N>D>3>2>L by pressing the brake then shift all the way back to N and leave it for few seconds and check the level...

the choice is urs...if you still have any problem want to claim, then continue with the service at SC otherwise, you may service at outside.... for me, after 4rd service, i send my car to the machanic i know and buy my own items, just pay the labour which around rm10-15...so far the car everything is allright..

brake disc plate warp..means uneven..so when you apply brakes on highspeed, steering will vibrate so create discomfort feeling.....to avoid this, dont wash your car or spray water on the brake disc or tire...

vibration/uneven disc brake may cause from brake pads, improper bedding in way, wash your car/spray ur tire with water after drive, drive through a pool of water......mine warp because of cause from bosch power plus brake pads, high speed braking vibrate very much..so get it skimmed and use imp formula, minimal vibration after 20000km usage....still ok..just a bit

the be sure to give your own experience here....

what petrol?? i also realize driving during daytime especially hot afternoon the car is more noisy...but not with night,morning time as the car is quieter a lot than driving on the hot noon...

oh yeah...got once i use caltex ron97, quiet but the car sort of heavy to accelerate....now im using RON95 esso and its allright....can go 190km easily...

well..the booklet stated 10k is fully-sync that proton recommended to use but as for the receipt it depends on what engine oil you change most of you guys are using semi-sync so, i believe the receipt will automatically print out 5k service interval, but fully-sync the system will print out 10k interval...
just my wild guess....i might be wrong..no offence...

yeap..20w50 can..but will be slight heavy...semi or fully is depends on you...semi normally is enough for normal driving conditions..but if you want better protection, than use full sync as it is lighter and protects the engine better than normal oils. try to go for 10w40 for semi....and 5w40 for fully-sync... normally this oil rating works perfectly and at the same time better FC...

read frm paultan..and he mention the elegance version improve in backseat angle, improve sound insulation on the pillars, and better engine response... ....anyone who own normal persona but test drive the new elegance version??
