eloo my dear friends,

just wanna ask something about persona elegance.
i bought one base line auto milleage now near 1800km.

i drive daily to work place around 35km from my house.
when arrive, i turn off the engine and take out the keys.
yes.. engine, aircon and fan seem to be stopped.
but somehow after 1-2minutes, the fan running again for a while.
then, it turn off back automaticly and permanently off.

Try heated ur engine like run in full speed in highway,
last time it took almost 5minute to shutdown the compressor when i just came back from kampung..
ohoo.. its act like auto turbo timer la yer.
i just called foreman at proton SC yesterday.
they said its normal when u stress the engine a bit.
he asked me whether i'm driving at high speed. actually around 100-120kmh.
he remind to check the water level.. but seems okay. water is there full in radiator.
probably this only apply to elegance model only.

hi there again..

wan to check something..

i have auto elegance base line milleage 2300km.

my problem is,
when i accelerate to overtake fully pedal 60-120kmh and then constant, after that i will smell something burning.
smell like oil engine burning. dunno how to describe.
already sent to SC to check. they said no leaking.

one more thing, the sound of 'geez.. geez.. ' on aircond behind dashboard is normal like SC said to me. its the valve release aircon stuff. dunno what is called.

and there is small sound behind meter panel if u hear it silently 'trrrrrrrr' very slow sound. dunno what it is.. huhuhu.

and lastly, my power window on driver side got a sound 'grut grut grut' when i wind up and down.. haiyoo..

do u guys notice that? u guys have similar symptom?
need to wait 5k service to check all the sound things..

thanx

Lets put it this way. If you are a person who goes to work 9 to 5 & back like me, it should not be a problem. Other wise, you should have opted for something smaller, say a Myvi or Viva which in my opinion are girlie cars. Persona's more of a guys' car. Top speed - 180Kmph one way to heaven for a 50K+ car. Where else can you find a bargain like this. Remember it is a solidly built 1.6 litre car. Not a tin can 1.5 litre Iswara. Don't waste precious time cracking your head doing all those penny saving fuel consumption calculus.
*
yes.. its comfort enough for me and my family.
huge boot luggage.
average fuel consumption 13km/l
latest pump rm65 .. 36.11l can go maximum for 450km, minimum around 380km
good cruise on hway .. 2.6k rpm on 100kmh if i'm not mistaken.

good choice

your problem:
one more thing, the sound of 'geez.. geez.. ' on aircond behind dashboard is normal like SC said to me. its the valve release aircon stuff

- me too, but sometime got sometime no. just adjus it then the sound will gone.

power window on driver side got a sound 'grut grut grut' when i wind up and down
- me too. but no take care it.

small sound behind meter panel if u hear it silently 'trrrrrrrr' very slow sound and accelerate to overtake fully pedal 60-120kmh and then constant, after that i will smell something burning.
smell like oil engine burning. dunno how to describe.

- never happen, but got sound from front  “gi gi gi” when your car speed at 120km/h around 5 min – 10 min then slow down the car speed to 80 km/h – 90km/h (without brake)
*
actually, the smell problem i already notified before i bought the car. i went to persona test drive unit and drove near to 150kmh. then i smell something burned. like engine oil.
i thought the test drive unit probably have defect or problem.
but unfortunately, same happen in my new car. i guess its happen to all elegance model.

just wan to check with other elegance user.

have u guys smell anything burn when accelerate the elegance?

I face this problem before also. Suspecting is fuel pump issue. Just don't use up the petrol until dry to protect it. If it happens, press the pedal for 5 seconds, and then try ignite again...

icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  Btw, any Persona owner here has Air Cond Vent Rattling Sound problem? If yes, how to solve it? Very annoying  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

after reading about elegance post here seem this car like under market test for new ecu...
i already put in my head to let go my 2002 waja and buy this persona elegance H line...
but now need to rethink again my decission....

did u guys think now its not a good time to buy elegance due ecu and brake problem?
*
izzit true about ecu n brake problem?
i own elegance. no problem so far on ecu n brake.
mine is B-Line auto.
in my opinion, brake power a bit poor probably due to rear drum brake.
everything is okay just driver power window got sound when wind down n up.
hmm.gif

Brake problem will only occur on m-line and h-line.
Because it is ABS control problem on new ECU.

If you having b-line, then you are safe.

hahaha.. lega to hear that.
i thought brake failure to operate.
danger lor
