I compiled a list of tips and some useful information and links from Persona Club v8 thread that can help all those first timers. I have yet to compile a Persona common problem list as Im not too sure of the problems myself. Maybe another forumer can help put a bit.
Tips for Persona car users
1)Most SC uses Petronas engine oil. To use other engine oil, exp Shell Helix HX-7, its recommended to go to authorized service outlets instead.
2)Stock brake pads are softer than Sponge Bob. Recommendation is to change it to ceramic brakes. Better performance and lesser dust. Best Form Ceramic Nao cost just RM63 for a set of front pads. Can get from former Kelvin (if im not mistaken).

After market stuffs
Brakes Ceramic brakes – by Kelvin3900 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1300445

F1 style Blinking LED tail lamp http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1451513

Car visual mods http://www.shorty5-minigarage.blogspot.com/

ICE http://www.maxaudio.com.my/

Car respraying http://www.cyf.com.my/

Tires
Most silent = Primacy LC, slightly poor grip on wet roads (a tradeoff for less noise).
High performance = Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (PS3) even noisier than NCT 5

Car Tint
Cheapest car tinting shop I found. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1266694
Safety film tint http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...597&hl=Ms.Canny

Help to calculate FC
Register at http://www.fuelly.com/ and post it in ur siggy. Maybe in the next Version of the thread we can reserve the 2nd post for FC monitoring by forumers..
Or another ideal way to calculate is to
1) Fill full tank petrol and reset trip meter
2) Drive car like mad fella or slow like aunty..  tongue.gif
3) When u need to refill the tank (no matter is only used half tank only or use till no more petrol in tank), top it back up to full tank (remember to note down how many litres filled in, using the price instead is subjective as petrol price fluctuates up and down and may affect future comparison).
4) Jot down mileage from previous full tank till refill and reset trip meter again.
5) Calculate (FC= Total mileage/Litres filled to top up back to full tank).
6) Post it up onto our club here for comparison. State ( XX% city driving / YY%highway) in XX KM/L format.. rclxms.gif

grats! i've been following this thread since v1, tho i'm not a persona owner..yet, huhu~

can i give 1 suggestion?

mebi TS can gather & put FAQ / car info on the 1st page like persona common prob & solution, recommended sc, poison, etc.. just like forte thread. it'll be very helpful.

by doing this, we can eliminate same questions being asked so many times.. especially by new members. nod.gif

1. Trestor advantage brake pads for the front to replace the lousy stock pads

2. APM Performax low springs. Fitted ONLY the rear to lower the stupid looking height tonggek butt. Now it is leveled and looks more like a normal car rather than a tonggek butt sedan. Rides and handles more less the same. Still feels almost like stock.

3. Air intake silencer delete. Does nothing much but just adds to a SLIGHTLY more throaty air intake sound when full throttle / pedal to the metal. It is still quiet like stock during cruising and high speed though.

4. Front component speakers from Pegasus and rear subwoofer and amp mounted on the sub box. Both amp and box are from previous car.

4. New wheels... oh yes... future mod coming soon.

i was quite surprise tht there is no crack on the bumper. the bumper also didnt drop as i can felt the bang impact is quite strong.
maybe bcoz persona back is high hence not much damage done. just hope my persona no "internal bleeding" due to the accident.

Wah good loh.. rclxms.gif Bang so hard also cosmetic damage only.. flex.gif Next time on the road ppl cucuk my belakang I straight do e-brake.. biggrin.gif

Dont worry bout cosmetic damage, as long as the bumper hook and notches didnt break then good enuf ady. The last time my fren drive his Vios Dugong reverse and bang another car, the bumper only cosmetic damages, nvr crack but 2 of the 'clip' on the side broke off, so the bumper now hanging a bit.. Lagi sad case wor..

Yes it is drive by wire. You will feel disconnected from the engine (only long timers and motorheads can tell the difference) if compared to conventional drive by cable. I prefer cable for sure. No choice. New tech. Get use to it! thumbup.gif

U need a good brake pad sure will have dust....this cannot be avoided....Maybe got Brake pad that doesn't produce dust....maybe cost few hundred....

U can google at Automotive Garage section for some good pad. Price range RM 110 ~ above...

Certain Persona have sensor problem. i think is Crankshaft Angle sensor..Try ask the SC check that sensor. U can try google up previous version tread and scout the problem something like urs...Which SC u go to ?

I compiled a list of tips and some useful information and links from Persona Club v8 thread that can help all those first timers. I have yet to compile a Persona common problem list as Im not too sure of the problems myself. Maybe another forumer can help put a bit.


Tips for Persona car users
1)Most SC uses Petronas engine oil. To use other engine oil, exp Shell Helix HX-7, its recommended to go to authorized service outlets instead.
2)Stock brake pads are softer than Sponge Bob. Recommendation is to change it to ceramic brakes. Better performance and lesser dust. Best Form Ceramic Nao cost just RM63 for a set of front pads. Can get from former Kelvin (if im not mistaken).

After market stuffs

Car visual mods http://www.shorty5-minigarage.blogspot.com/

Tires
Most silent = Primacy LC, slightly poor grip on wet roads (a tradeoff for less noise).

Help to calculate FC
Register at http://www.fuelly.com/ and post it in ur siggy. Maybe in the next Version of the thread we can reserve the 2nd post for FC monitoring by forumers..
Or another ideal way to calculate is to
1) Fill full tank petrol and reset trip meter
2) Drive car like mad fella or slow like aunty.. tongue.gif
3) When u need to refill the tank (no matter is only used half tank only or use till no more petrol in tank), top it back up to full tank (remember to note down how many litres filled in, using the price instead is subjective as petrol price fluctuates up and down and may affect future comparison).
4) Jot down mileage from previous full tank till refill and reset trip meter again.
5) Calculate (FC= Total mileage/Litres filled to top up back to full tank).

- just wondering what other cars uses this "drive by wire" system?

- how come the AT doesn't have the "overdrive" button? is it bcoz there's a 3rd gear shift?

- 2 maintain the engine in top condition does it needs 2 be "warmed" up in the morning or can juz start the car & drive off straight away?

wow, only judging from the photo can differentiate 15' & 16'.

1 shop quoting a set of Weds Sport 16' replica rim @ RM 1,250 + 205/50/16 CC1 @ RM 230/pc

but i found that another 15' Weds sport replica also very nice, the 15' GY Assurance only cost RM 170+

2)Stock brake pads are softer than Sponge Bob. Recommendation is to change it to ceramic brakes. Better performance and lesser dust. Best Form Ceramic Nao cost just RM63 for a set of front pads. Can get from former Kelvin (if im not mistaken).
This 1 i 100% agree with you. The stock break pads only last me for Genting uphill + downhill X 2 (Too exited that time, busy potong all chap of vehicle except the famous tiga kayu). As a result the break pads kapuk within a single day.

But after changing a new break pads now no more dust already.

I compiled a list of tips and some useful information and links from Persona Club v8 thread that can help all those first timers. I have yet to compile a Persona common problem list as Im not too sure of the problems myself. Maybe another forumer can help put a bit.
Tips for Persona car users
1)Most SC uses Petronas engine oil. To use other engine oil, exp Shell Helix HX-7, its recommended to go to authorized service outlets instead.
2)Stock brake pads are softer than Sponge Bob. Recommendation is to change it to ceramic brakes. Better performance and lesser dust. Best Form Ceramic Nao cost just RM63 for a set of front pads. Can get from former Kelvin (if im not mistaken).

Help to calculate FC
Register at http://www.fuelly.com/ and post it in ur siggy. Maybe in the next Version of the thread we can reserve the 2nd post for FC monitoring by forumers..
Or another ideal way to calculate is to
1) Fill full tank petrol and reset trip meter
2) Drive car like mad fella or slow like aunty..  tongue.gif
3) When u need to refill the tank (no matter is only used half tank only or use till no more petrol in tank), top it back up to full tank (remember to note down how many litres filled in, using the price instead is subjective as petrol price fluctuates up and down and may affect future comparison).
4) Jot down mileage from previous full tank till refill and reset trip meter again.
5) Calculate (FC= Total mileage/Litres filled to top up back to full tank).

answers to your questions:-

- more and more cars nowadays come with drive by wire.
- no need to leave the engine warm up in the morning. Just start and drive off as usual except that dun rev or do fast high rev pickup before the temp reaches norm. operating temp.

Some ppl would prefer to let it idle in the morning till warmed up. But that is just wasting fuel. One could just drive away immediately of course do not whack it before its fully warmed up la. Just drive normally.

The best way to maintain engine is to
1) before turning off ur engine, dont rev the car, let it idle for a few seconds after stopping then turn off engine. (This is due to petrol have some lubricating properties and the engine oil would settle on the cylinder walls it will prevent your engine from unnecessary friction on your next start)
2) When doing a cold start (eg, in the morning), turn off ur aircon and blower first. Then only start the engine and dont rev right after starting as the engine incurs most of their wear and tear during startups and shutdowns. Turning off aircon and blower reduces load on the engine during initial start up, therefore minimizing wear.
3) Do not do high revs when the engine is cold as the engine oil hvnt reach its optimum viscosity yet. Therefore the oil film protecting the cylinder head and wall will be lesser than usual as the oil is slightly more thicker.


As for Drive-by-wire (DBW) cars, the throttle response is nvr as good as cable counterparts. I have a Sentra B14 and i can feel the difference of throttle response compared to Persona and even the new Civic. However I have installed D1 Spec Throttle Controller in the Civic and i can feel great results. Definitely a worthwhile investment I would recommend those who wants faster response from their throttle. rclxms.gif

make sure u find a correct proton SC that allow u to bring own engine oil.. mayb the one that u always go to..
the one i went allowed me to bring own oil.. but when it comes to warranty, she said not to mention tht u used other oil. blush.gif
but make sure u trust the engine oil tht u bought. tongue.gif
i used semi sync Bardahl for my 1k service a week ago.. I suggest u to use Semi rather than Full. Semi can also be used for 8k-10k km.
Full synthetic is mostly for bigger engine like 1.8 n above.. n it is thicker n heavier compare to Semi.
for 1.6, u will feel abit heavier to rev if u use fully synth..
plus, fully is also used for those country that have winter season as the oil wont freeze up during winter n easy to warm the engine up.

Cos buying engine oil outside is cheaper than the getting the engine oil from ur SC, and u can even choose ur own brand of choice. The servicing fee for the car will still remain the same no matter where the engine oil came from.

-full syn does not mean it will be heavier. it all depends on the weight of the oil itself. the lighter the oil the lighter the car will feel. tried and tested icon_rolleyes.gif
-end of the day, it all comes down to moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif but for my opinion.... a good reputable semi synthetic oil is really good enough.

I have used Bardahl semi 10W 40 once before @ 10K km oil change & I find that my car does not run as smoothly as when I am using Delphi semi 10W 40. Did you buy the Bardahl @ RM65-something? Its contents is measured in quarts instead of litres. I also feel Fully syn. is a waste of money on the Persona. If you have a lot of $ or you can buy Fully syn. cheap, by all means, us it. By the way, I have used my own lube all this time.

I have used Bardahl semi 10W 40 once before @ 10K km oil change & I find that my car does not run as smoothly as when I am using Delphi semi 10W 40.  Did you buy  the Bardahl @ RM65-something?  Its contents is measured in quarts instead of litres.  I also feel Fully syn. is a waste of money on the Persona.  If you have a lot of $ or you can buy Fully syn. cheap, by all means, us it.  By the way, I have used my own lube all this time.
*
yeah.. Bardahl semi syn is only 3.85 litre. Delphi also not bad. heard some good feedback too on delphi. is it 4 litre?
I will give a try for next service if the price is almost the same. hmm.gif

Cos buying engine oil outside is cheaper than the getting the engine oil from ur SC, and u can even choose ur own brand of choice. The servicing fee for the car will still remain the same no matter where the engine oil came from.

So, where can I buy engine oil? What brand is recommended? Thx notworthy.gif

I don't know where you are from but if you are from KL or PJ or anywhere in the Klang valley, you have plenty of choices. Just buy them from big reputable spare parts shops & you will get a good price. I cannot reveal my source because I get it at wholesale but if you are familiar with the 3rd. Mile Jalan Ipoh area in KL, go to the biggest spare parts shop there & you can choose from a host of lubes there. If you are in PJ, there are the SS2 & Section 8 area with many established spare part shops also. Like I say before, I have already found the most ideal lube for my car (in terms of $ & performance) & it is entirely up to you to find yours. As for recommendations, please spend some time reading the past threads here.

It is 4 lit. I normally remove about 0.25 lit. from the new pack before letting anyone change my engine oil. The car does not require 4 lit. Actually, 3.6 lit. is still acceptable. The only time I did not use this brand is because my regular suppliers ran out of stocks. Their brake pads are IMHO superior also.

Dude. How old is you car? Mine is going to be 1 year next week (almost 17K Km) & there are not any abnormal music coming from anywhere except the engine humming normally. Either I am deaf or your sense of hearing is like a bloodhound. If it is confirmed that this so called orifice thing is the fault, why didn't Proton insist their supplier to pre-fix it into the steering pump reservoir before assembling it into the car? I thought this problem have been eliminated for new cars.

Ur brake pads so fast can worn out, I think thats good bah, cos i feel sayang want to throw out my ori brake pads unused when i get the car, so at least im at peace now knowing how fast will it wear out.  rclxms.gif
The best way to maintain engine is to
1) before turning off ur engine, dont rev the car, let it idle for a few seconds after stopping then turn off engine. (This is due to petrol have some lubricating properties and the engine oil would settle on the cylinder walls it will prevent your engine from unnecessary friction on your next start)
2) When doing a cold start (eg, in the morning), turn off ur aircon and blower first. Then only start the engine and dont rev right after starting as the engine incurs most of their wear and tear during startups and shutdowns. Turning off aircon and blower reduces load on the engine during initial start up, therefore minimizing wear.
3) Do not do high revs when the engine is cold as the engine oil hvnt reach its optimum viscosity yet. Therefore the oil film protecting the cylinder head and wall will be lesser than usual as the oil is slightly more thicker.
As for Drive-by-wire (DBW) cars, the throttle response is nvr as good as cable counterparts. I have a Sentra B14 and i can feel the difference of throttle response compared to Persona and even the new Civic. However I have installed D1 Spec Throttle Controller in the Civic and i can feel great results. Definitely a worthwhile investment I would recommend those who wants faster response from their throttle.  rclxms.gif

with or without the OD button actually its the same. Just that ours without the OD button.... the additional Gear 3 option is there for us to switch to when needed. Though, i myself prefer with OD button.

Old school or not..... both the same! Just that different manufacturer different preference.

not to say under power or not. you just need to select the right one for the power range you are expecting. anyways, persona's AT gearings are really great. Smooth, fast and efficient enough. Very happy with it. I find myself very rarely manually shifting the gear levers.

Yes u can do the service anytime u want.. Most ppl do it at the exact service date or slightly later to stretch out their value for money.. XD.. It is actually more advisable to service it earlier in the initial stages when the engine runs in.. The later stages u can always stretch out the service period a bit.. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(jasondotcom @ Sep 5 2010, 11:21 PM)
not to say under power or not. you just need to select the right one for the power range you are expecting. anyways, persona's AT gearings are really great. Smooth, fast and efficient enough. Very happy with it. I find myself very rarely manually shifting the gear levers.

Wow thats the first time im hearing a good review for Protons AT.. rclxms.gif

I noticed that Persona does consume the coolant quite a bit before each servicing intervals. My younger bro's 08 model is also like this.

My ex MyVi is not. I rarely top up the coolant even after a year.

You car is purchase from EON or Proton Edar ? That SC is EON SC or Proton Edar SC ?

If your car is purchased from E and you go for PE sc then they will need ur registration card to make claims from proton

maybe they ask u prepare it just incase only, i forget to bring my registration card during my 1k service and they charge me for the allignment and balancing. they told me they can waived it if i bring along my car registration card so that they can claim proton.

i also buy from PE and done the 1k service at PE sc.

dude, could you please state what tire size you are using on 16 inch? Very nice rim design. I can't wait to change mine. I am aiming for 16 inch also instead of 17 inch due to various reasons.

AND, do you mind posting bigger sized pictures of it side ways (viewing the whole side of the car). Or mb email me at nhaixin69@yahoo.co.uk ?? I hope you don't mind smile.gif

if yours is non-IAFM model, it's impossible to add in IAFM module, the whole engine design is different.

Just to give you some rough idea:

16' rim - Chap ayam Taiwan made = RM 950 from mudah.com (but the shop in shah alam)
16' rim - Wedsport replica taiwan made = RM 1,200 to RM 1,300
16' rim - Oz sport replica taiwan made = RM 1,350 ++
16' rim - Chrome rim Taiwan made = RM 1,800++

There are many other model price above RM 2,000 but i dont pay much attention since it is out of my budget.

But do take note that there are approx. RM 230 additional charges on the steel valve, nuts, bolt etc etc.

If you decide to go for 17', choose your tyre width carefully otherwise it will sangkut at rear.

nowsaday replica also got "Made in Japan" chop rclxub.gif

i also change to 16', but i think if you pay a nett price of RM 2,000, it is a bit on the high side.

user posted image

The shop give me 2 option:

Package 1 - Wedsport replica 16' + 4 tyre Taiwan/China made 205/50/R16 = RM 1,470 + RM 230 (Steel valve/nuts/etc A+B) Total RM 1,700 only

The one i bought:

Package 2 - Wedsport replica 16' + 4 X Falken ZE 522 205/50/R16 = RM 1,670 + RM 230 (Steel valve/nuts/etc A+B) Total RM 1,900

If i go for Continental CC-1 195/50/R16 = RM 1,760.


Added on September 7, 2010, 6:53 pmPersonally i feel that i've pay a premium at rm 1,900 cry.gif

but at that point of time after survey in 4 shop for 2hr+, its too tiring to go elsewhere to bargain and have to throw in towel liao

380km is for rm50 right? coz full tank, i tried pumping rm70 (when rm1.80 per liter) also can enter. so far max distance with full tank i can achieve is about 480km

got. some tyre shops offer that service, rm5 to fill the tyres. but IMO, kinda troublesome coz always need to find back shop that got nitrogen to fill up air back. although say can save little petrol, but i think very little only. last time my kelisa was filled with that, after a while, i just change back to normal air.

err, 1 noob questions, proton give how many warranty to our car? i thought 3 years/50,000km?

not sure about yours, but mine only got 50,000km/24 months whichever come first. Check your service booklet.

I got some question here:


1) Anyone experienced on claiming warranty previously? Will they charge additional labor fee to replace faulty part? Previously i change the fuel lit and they do it for free. But this time i need some fix on the drive shaft and definitely it will take more time than changing a fuel lit.

The tricky part is my car just over 50,000km recently (55k now) and not sure whether can get away with it by nagging the service center.

I just found that the left side rubber ring (the one next to the big rubber gaiter) on the drive shaft has broken and causing the steering wheel aligning to left all the time.


2) How long your ori absorber last? Mine almost two years now. How to know if the absorber still working?

Also suspect the air-con gas is running low cause the air-con fan is spinning very frequent now...

Regarding this fuel indicator , i think it works like this .. before the remaining mileage reaches some point i think its about 55km(remaining) the
yellow fuel indicator will light up , telling u is low on fuel ... then the remaining mileage will continue to run until 50km(remaining), then that mileage itself will
continuous blink until a point where the 50km on the screen turn = ---- but from what I did before is that it still can go further for like another 40+ km which
i drove before , max i dunno tongue.gif

According to my Ex gf's father who was a car mechanic.... you can still go for another 70KM when a car's petrol meter starts blinking. Not sure does this apply to Persona as well or not since the car has this light up then blink procedure.

I think according to the manual... when the light start blinking.... we should ahve about 8 litres left ( we have 50 litres tank right in total?). So we can do ourown maths... how many km can we normally drive before the tank go totally empty rclxub.gif
yes ... the other day i drove... cari petrol station when already blinking... never check how many km i went.. but the meter definately shows ----.- km left .... scared the hell out of me.... never tried tat anymore.. enuff to know roughly how much max petrol i can pump in ..

I have used my new Persona Elegance B-Line Manual for two weeks, the wiper sprays water only at bottom of screen. It is quite
slow too (compared to Saga BLM water spray). I am not sure if this is normal for Persona Elegance.

well , it all depends on the SC u go to but from what I know alignment&balancing is not cover at all but still doing it in SC is far more cheaper
than outside tire shop .. last time my family's exora do it at 10k charged about RM50 smile.gif .Normally a new car before 1k the alignment&balancing is
just nice unless the special ones which runs off then I think is FOC cause its the factory problem, not due to wear and tear rite blush.gif

380km is for rm50 right? coz full tank, i tried pumping rm70 (when rm1.80 per liter) also can enter. so far max distance with full tank i can achieve is about 480km
got. some tyre shops offer that service, rm5 to fill the tyres. but IMO, kinda troublesome coz always need to find back shop that got nitrogen to fill up air back. although say can save little petrol, but i think very little only. last time my kelisa was filled with that, after a while, i just change back to normal air.

The belt you see at the outside of the engine is the auxiliary drive belt (i.e when you start the engine, it connects the crankshaft, alternator, A/Con compressor, water pump & power steering pump - all via a series of pulleys thus enabling all these components to run simultaneously)

Drive belts are made from one giant roll with no joints. Just like a swiss roll. You cut it to size. I bet it is not a manufacturers defect. It cannot be happening to just one or few cases. It is most definitely an installation problem - at engine assembly stage.

-once break, no more electrical to battery charging, no more power steering, no more aircond and for sure engine overheating due to loss of water pumping.


Generally these belts can be inspected periodically by ourselves. Use a bright torch light to inspect the under side of the belt and top. The belting is most visible from top and bottom of the car. Can see from under the front bumper also. Check for signs of cuts, cracks and wear. Generally these belts can last till at least 100,000KM. But do check on it every 10 to 20k or so since it is so easy to inspect yourselves.

May I know, that is if you have any idea, how many litres of ATF is required for a complete change. Original 4 litres Mitsubishi SP-III cost around RM90. Did you use Proton ATF from SC or your own ATF?

The belt you see at the outside of the engine is the auxiliary drive belt (i.e when you start the engine, it connects the crankshaft, alternator, A/Con compressor, water pump & power steering pump - all via a series of pulleys thus enabling all these components to run simultaneously)

Drive belts are made from one giant roll with no joints. Just like a swiss roll. You cut it to size. I bet it is not a manufacturers defect. It cannot be happening to just one or few cases.  It is most definitely an installation problem - at engine assembly stage.
*
i'll check the belt from time to time in case the problem reappeared. if it does, then surely my car got problem at engine assembly stage.

QUOTE(jasondotcom @ Sep 9 2010, 11:45 AM)
- you will regret more if you buy a Perodua with the exception of Kenari and Kelisa. Trust me on this man. Been there done that. Perodua used to be better in QC than Proton. Now it is totally the other way around.

really? why is that? i got 3 out of 4 friends droves myvi and nothing serious happen to their car so far.
would you like to elaborate more?

Lucky I saw this after I came back from Kampar.

I think any car going at high speed, ramming into the back of a lorry, would end up like this. Proton higher chances though tongue.gif

I went to SC yesterday for 5000km service interval and look what they have found. my fead belt really worn out, luckily it didn't break while me driving. they told me that it was part defect (mean; their supplier of this belt are to blame). really frustrated to see new car with 6000km age already already have such problem. my 158,000km age kelisa had never such problem. i told the sc, why proton car have so much problem? I really regret not getting perodua car instead and they only smile and said "thank you for supporting us at proton". huh... vmad.gif

haha.. nice answer by them, anyway u will always say's that after u choose p2 happen this prob, sure regret not to choosing BMW tongue.gif

today i jus got back frm a trip to alor gajah. friends of mine each drove a vios (1.5) manual and nissan sentra (1.6) auto. lets jus say we all carried stuff there and i had the least amount cause thy knew my car would be heavy and cant keep up.

AND depressingly their car can speed ahead a whole lot faster thn mine.. i was practically eating their dust.. and thn i jus lost sight of their car. ok no doubt one of the reason is that the vios could be lighter.. but thy were ferrying 2 additional person versus mine. (about 120kg extra)

my pick up speed jus couldnt rival theirs.. sigh..

ironically... the vios engine has a lower HP thn mine... 109 vs 125. and still can lose..

Depending on wat model of vios and wat model of persona u r driving..
if .... in extreme case....vios j manual is 1020 kg and persona elegance h-line is 1245 kg... tat is 225kg more weight
and depends on ur how u rev too i guess..... persona highest torque comes at higher rev .. compare to vios... tat could also be the reason y is harder for u to catch up?
i m just guessing .... the possible reason... dont bash me for simply guessing excuses tongue.gif hehe

thanks for the info....i thought the maintenance interval is 10k? i might just send the car to proton sc for the 40k service.... biggrin.gif

it depends on what kind of engine oil u using. if you use fully sync engine oil then you might service your car every 10k

I tried that before. Alarm went off. I felt like a car thief. I thought radio power is controlled by ignition switch.

Thanks for the advice. Not a serious problem & I can only hope it does not happen often. Can be very annoying. Pulling out radio fuse won't solve problem.

Just back from puchong service center , their service I can say normal . car handed over at 8:40am , received back at 11:30pm+ . Did 1k and complain about the door lock and the orifice valve thingy . All fix but the , orifice valve they did not install for me even I gave them a online image that I gotten from our forum with the part number . they just tighten undercartiage.

- in fact anywhere between the low and max line is absolutely fine. anything above the max line is NOT. There is a reason why the max line is there. It is not to be overshot by 1cm or even 1mm. Max line means max. Never exceed it. in fact i prefer my engine to be half filled rather than max filled. why? much lighter engine.... really makes a lot of difference.

-yes u are right. more less that kinda scenario....


For over 10 years driving owning couple cars and driving few others.... i always have problems with workshop mechs OVERFILLING the engine oil. It goes from bawah pokok mechs till the soo called "pros" in Service Centres.

My ex MyVi....... always overfilled. Screw them all the time.

Now my Persona. Same thing. Some more telling me in the face that CAMPRO NEEDS 4L of engine oil SHIT?!

Last service i went it goes like this:-

Mech: draining the oil...

Me: eh, later dun pour all the 4L oil into the engine. Leave out some.... *me showing how much to leave out

Mech: Oh okay.

Me: Observing....

Mech: Time for refilling...and started pouring the oil

Me: Eh remember ah dun overfill. Just leave this much out....*me showing it again how much to leave out by hand

Mech: But Campro engines need all 4L engine oil.....continues pouring......

Me: eh please.... dun gimme that nonsense ok.... who said? It is always OVERFILLED. That i have to go to the trouble of getting it drained the next morning.

Mech: Mb u bought the 5L pack?

Me: Look.... Campro does not need 4L of engine oil OKAY. It is stated in the book and the last time one of u did that it caused me having to drain it out the next day. And it was way over the max line on the dip stick when checked early morning.

Mech: Ok ok.... puts down the bottle.... check dipstick.... noticed that its not max level yet.

Me: Its ok... i will refill it later if not enough. I know what i am doing.

Mech: Checks again and started engine letting it idle for while before shut down. Rechecks the level....

Me: Keeping a sharp eye....

Mech: Reaches the bottle again.... and started to pour....

Me: eh enough i said.... (after shown the level on the dipstick)....

Mech: not enough later ur engine jam.......continues pouring.....

Me: Look man, i said enough is enough ok! ENOUGH!!!!!!! *me snatching the bottle away from him

Mech: Ok ok.... then finish up everything else before passing the keys to me........

What a f***ing idiot....... CAMPRO needs whole bottle of 4 liters of engine oil BULLSHIT.

Wow that must have been a really stupid mech.. This is the prob when too many unqualified mechs around.. They dont know the pros and cons of changing a part in a car.. Maybe next time if u were to bring ur own engine oil u can empty out 200-300ml of it into another bottle before giving it to the mech. At least this would prevent a similar error from occuring.

That's what I have been doing since my first service. Bought my own semi syn lube, poured out excess amount of new pack to another container before heading off to SC. SC cannot reject my lube. because it is a reputable brand & far more superior than recommended spec.

this car is quite heavy...is it advisable to fill it with more air? hmm.gif

I forgot to ask any B-line users..after ive realized something on the driver side..
(By referring to the pic below)
Attached Image

1) is there supposed to be any light on the power windows switch when u turn on the headlamp? (YELLOW COLOR CIRCLE)
coz i could only see light on "Auto" (RED COLOR).

2) wat does "Auto" on the driver's power window switch mean? (REFER TO RED COLOR)
coz like other car such as my mom's honda supposed to be auto moving down n up if u press the switch deeper.

any one or b-line users can provide me answers..? sweat.gif

Change sport rim , scared later wheel bearing spoilt or suspension..Then SC will void it. (Not sure if we change same size will kacau or not)



As for wiper, i still use original since April 1st 2010, so far so good...cause weekly wash car, and applied Rain X on the wind screen. tongue.gif

change from redline air filter to ori proton air filter to test the fc.

feel that ori filter really lack of power when climb mountain / slope.

anyone know do we need to reset those ECU mapping whenever we change the air filter ?

Don't be alarm. This is normal. For me, the sound came and gone after awhile. Brake parts need breakin-in period also.

Our PE has a heavy body and the stock suspension plus stock tire is not made for hard cornering... I did try to whack a few corners
1. Sg Besi Airport at seremban highway turn in to NPE / kuchai lama.
2. From jln duta toll turn in to jln duta.
3. From kepong Jln kuching turn in to DUKE highway.
4. From jln istana turn in the sg besi.
5. From Kuchai using NPE to Bangsar turning.
These are a few of my favorite corners. PE is really unstable when tackling those corners compared with my friend's one version older model Toyota Altis. Even with the traction control off, the car is more predictable and easy to handle when driving hard through those corners.

PE is a small family compact car and it is best for long journey trips coz the car can cruise fast on highways and it gives you confidence to drive at high speed.

urs is with or without IAFM?


Added on September 17, 2010, 9:33 pmbtw just some information sharing....

my bro's newly own 2nd hand Persona H line Auto 08 model non IAFM.... i noticed that the FC is stated 11 per 100km as compared to my persona 09 IAFM Auto at 7.8 per 100KM. That is a huge difference!

Are those non IAFM version really suck far more fuel than its upgraded versions?

To all concerned. Can we not discuss FC anymore. Persona is definitely a "gas guzzler" period - because of its sturdy build. Try to enjoy your ride & not think too much of every $ burning out of the exhaust tailpipe. There are definitely many more economical rides out there for the fuel conscious to choose from.

My advice to all those potential buyers of the Persona who are considering this car - If you cannot afford the petrol, opt for something smaller.
