My first claim under EWP, extended warantty program after 2years++ icon_idea.gif ..except parts ordering process is abit long(1month or depends on parts availability), still worth it i can said.

To entitled for warantty and EWP(if applicable)
a) no modification made nod.gif
b) must service at authorised PESC
c) cannot skip routine service interval

Use automotive adhesive double side tape smile.gif , guarantee it last for years..after washes and heavy rainfall, still intact.

When i receive my car, already remove out the front number plate and use my own high quality automotive doubleside tape..

Yes, it will void the wiring waranty thingy only...
Ok, let's give an example. In case the accesories shop technician did something wrong and went into Fire..Yes, Fire! Upon inspection..it's not Proton problem. Go and ask insurance company then...

If u change to aftermarket rims..then parts related to wheel. Bearing, arms, drive shart, balljoints, steering rack bla bla..of course void lor.

car not yet finished?  blink.gif
Been using RON97 today since i feel like filling it in. So far somehow the engine been producing less rough sound and vibration even though during the hot sunny day. In the usual hot day, my engine will sound a little rough and the engine vibration can be felt when under RON95. It is almost like when driving the car during night since my engine usually will sound quieter during night drive. Now will monitor the mileage. If not much difference, i guess i'm going to change back to RON97  hmm.gif

Yeah..my car finally repaired dee, changed the Left hand side wheel bearing..BUT now i can feel left side tyre roll so smooth brows.gif , the right hand side is little bit rough...slight humming noise rclxub.gif

Immediate result is FC is now better...

I dunno why they don't straight away replace both front left and right bearing for me wink.gif only one side rclxub.gif

I need not check prices from Proton. I am fed latest prices from them automatically regularly. I cannot reveal my idendity or my source as prices are highly sensitive matters.  All I can share is that base on the info. I received, there are two versions of the Rear Lamp for the Persona Enhancement.  LED & Bulb versions.  The price I mentioned earlier is for the bulb versions.  LED versions cost even more @ RM 709.56 each.

Personally, I find the LED versions very expensive as the LED module itself cost RM248.81. If I opt to change mine, I may just change to the bulb versions (minus the bulb holders) because the lamp without the bulb holder is cheaper - RM388.91 each. So far, still no price for the Door mirrors.

Are you the sales person? If got customer wanna trade in their FL sportsrim..i am interested..

one thing need to ask you all.

why 5k oil change interval rather than 10k oil change interval?

it states clearly in the manual booklet and also the proton website that it is 10k oil service. there is even no indication on specific oils to be used for different oil change intervals!

So if i stick to 10k interval, i am still within the warranty requirements right?
*
You can do that but it is not recommended. smile.gif

Hi guys,
Who has the EWP list? I heard that after 2 years, the rest of the 3 years just cover some part only, which part they cover?
*
I made my first claim under EWP last month.

EWP basically cover engine, drive train, tranmission, drive shaft(Yes..it is under warantty, boot cover of course not cover), suspension and arm exclude ashober.

For more info, refer back your EWP certificate. To eligible and claim under EWP..first of all, no modification shall be made to your car, full PESC service record is needed. I submit my photocopy of registration card, EWP cert, full service record from PESC..though the parts ordering process is long *yawn*..they get the job done and repair my car at no cost(oil and consumable exclude)

wow...finally u have done..me still got 2years to go.. sweat.gif ....btw ralf have you encounter the coolant in the spare tank reduce after few weeks of driving? reduce slightly maybe few mm.....mine after few weeks of driving the water reduce slightly and sometimes 2weeks can notice the reduction...
check the engine cap do not have any white/mixed coolant, do not have overheat issues even i drive 120km-150km and traffic jam..the temperature maintain below 90'c, radiator no leak......but 1 thing weird is when i open the radiator cap, the water level seem increase back...change the cap so far but i think still happen....what happen actually..... laugh.gif  mileage just nearly 50k..... hmm.gif
*
It's normal, no worry as long as spare tank coolant is between normal range, neither pressure cap nor radiotor is leaking. If leaking, it is very much noticeable..

Your mileage and mine almost same brows.gif ..going for 50k service soon.

Might be some hose already wore out and leaking the radiator water  hmm.gif
Anyway, i really need to issue an urgent attention to all persona owner. You might want to check the aircond piping at the back of the engine (near the iafm module). There should be rubber joint coming from the engine and touching the aircond piping. U all might want to take alert of this. In my case, the rubber hose kept on RUBBING with the aircond pipe till the pipe were ERODED and leaking the aircond gas. I took some pictures, but now at office and forgot to bring my memory card reader. Later i'll upload it for everyone to see.

Haih... stupid design....

Obviously, i can see that it is manufacturing defect..they should do a "recall campaign" and rectified the problem.

BLine/MLine brake servo is so small..derived from Proton 1.3L unit. doh.gif
HLine is fitted with bigger master pump.

That's the reason i change to smaller tyre, 195/55 instead of 195/60 for better grip without upgrading the brake pump.
