ive juz came back from proton SC... and they were struggling to replace my power steering(leaking, so claim warranty)... and when they did managed to get it out... the replacement unit was the wrong one. the replacement was for persona and mine is persona se(CPS power steering set)... and they have to reinstall the old power steering set. after they installed it back on. the thing was leaking again and some of the oil hit the bamboo/fiber thingy at the exhaust system and when i drove home... i realized that when i open my bonnet when i reach home. smoke was coming out from/near the bamboo thingy...

im only scared there are other damage to the car.

Help, i notice my 1year n 8month old persona with 20k milleage is noisier than my friend myvi 3year+50k mileage.
I just change to Primacy LC tyre and my friend with XM1 even more quieter. I though persona sound isolation is better than myvi?

When go over rough surface tar road, i could hear the sound like drum hitting sound. Is it bcoz my absorber already kong? but i'm just 20k mileage n less than 2year.
If i go to ask SC check about this noise, they said dun have odd sound bcoz its not hv specific noise come from chair/door/dashboard, but an overwell humming sound and drum hitting sound. Its very big difference compare to my car when its new for first 3months.
Now when i'm driving need to turn up the vol more louder a lot.

That's weird. For me, its the other way around. MyVi is very bad in NVH compared to Persona. Persona is heavily padded everywhere except that they still need to improve on the firewall and wheel house padding. My Persona got noisy because of the lousy Silverstone Kruiser stock tires.

dun install these. it will just wear out ur current coil springs much much faster due to forcing other active coils to work far much harder. no thanks. if u want stiffer ride etc... do it the right way. change springs or absorbers.

Agree, the spring buffer is only for economic reason.
The main reason is after installed, i used on new Ciyt but the spring damping rate has changed and it affect handling ! sweat.gif

If you want to lower your ride, just replace whole set of coil spring..

I guess its normal especially for stock suspension as the car will lean when the car do cornering. For lowered cars with naturally stiffer suspension, the car leans less and thus, have flatter tire wear across the tire. my previous car was lowered... the tire wear is even across the thread compared to my persona right now. Mine also front tire at the outer corner wears faster.

bro, i experience the same problem just like u. i was driving down the hill when suddenly the engine died. i called a repairman from the nearest proton (bt caves) and explained the thingy (8000rpm when try to start) and straight away advices me to tow the car. snet it to the Mutiara Damansara Proton since i called proton bt caves they dun hav that sensor. i have to leave it there for a day since a lot of car on Q edi.changed and no charge since under warranty but not really beware~hope it wont happen again~ sweat.gif

wow... i tot i'm the only unlucky guy that got this problem... did you ask the SA is this a common problem for Persona? because when i call i.care and told them my car model is persona... the guy straight away ask me the 8000rpm thingy....

that sounds worrying. so what mileage does Persona usually developed this sensor problems? so the replacement sensors are improved sensors?
