my car din service at Proton after the 15k service.. can i still go for the power steering hose replacement rectification?? i mean for warranty?? that is defect rite.. anyone can advise on that??

Huh? So fast? 2pm+ that time I called still manage to book on 5th Jan. So fast fully book. Meaning their car many defects. They should build CoSE2

my car just 2 years old... so.. any suggestion which Service Centre i might be most successful in getting it claim...

Erm.. Can anyone here stop me from being a tyre fanatic + fetish? 

Today I drove to Taiping & back.. To & fro..

With Mobil 97 & my gf in the car, average 160-170km/h about 8.8L/100KM..
With Caltex 95 & my gf + mother in law (60kgs) + sister in law (86kgs) in the car, average 150-160km/h about 10.5L/100KMs..

Do keep in mind that I'm running on 17", higher rolling resistance..

Ok, here's the thing. I drove to Taiping, hit 190 km/h once in a while, car felt as if it grew roots on the road. Planted and cornering at 160-170km/h feels good. No buang-buang feeling. Pirelli wins slightly. Just a little bit.

Drove back from Taiping, car heavy only can manage 180 tops, averaging 130-150 km/h in heavy rain. I've never felt so confident to speed before.  No aquaplaning, no slippery feel. Very very nice. Pirelli lose here, in the rain my Bridgestone rules.

Conclusion? I'm changing my religion & going to worship The Holiness Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE001. Damn syok & stim man... Unless I change my car to BMW or whatever shit in the future, I'm gonna stick to this exact brand & model for my Persona. 

And yes, I need more horsepowers. Add me in for the spark plug as well Zeng. My need for speed is getting more chronic..

BTW, are brake rotors covered under warranty? Cos I think mine uneven d.. Steering shakes when I brake at speeds above 130 km/h.. If they're not covered, I'll be changing to aftermarket cross-drilled slotted rotors..

You sound very confident of this untried & untested over time car.  Actually, Persona is sluggish, heavy,under powered & low tech.(highly reflective of it's pricing) Hitting top speed in it is a nice feeling but braking is nightmare.  Somehow, I feel this car has not enough R & D & Proton engineers are super incompetent to let it roll out of their factory like this.  Not surprised they are relying on Mitsubishi again.  PROTON -  25 YEARS OF SHIT!

Yo bro. Agreed.
U see other car manufacturer, where got manufacture defective carS? Their defect car maybe 1 unit out of 100. Only our PROUDLY national car maker. Best example power steering assembly, all the PE owners here having the same defects. Worse still the new batches still having repeating same problems. Why on earth they make a car that the lucky owner no need to go back SC for warranty claim. No wonder CoSE always fully book everyday. 

17 years, to be exact. 

But what to do? Proton is the only thing I can afford mah.. 

BMW mainainence high lo....
some more is 9 years old car in few days...hehehe


We buy what we can afford for the amount we pay. Persona for RM 50k, 1600 c , Good handling, what we expect some more?

Tikus in air vent = cause by the those fins , even u change new set , will come back, (design problem). Need to DIY to Fix the sound. ( i put Double Side Foam tape put between the fins and the housing)

As for ur rotor...just go claim at Serdang SC, no need go CoSE except u have time for it. Serdang SC still ordering those assembly for my car, but i already fix at CoSE, maybe they will have extra set)

plan to change the heater indicator light to green as well. coz the original amber light not really noticable when turn on.

bro,u not buying a bmw or wat la..its proton la..u din do research b4 buying ? ..that y there is this thing called warranty..
my car oso like yur,1 week all problem come out..my wife even scolded me...buy new car so fast got problem..crazy!!..its new u know ,not 2nd hand.
even u buy benz la,1 out of 10 sure got problem,juz c who unlucky..
they order the parts bcoz they dun keep in stock..which sc u went 2?

Bigger rims ma.. More makan minyak leh.. The rolling resistance is mentioned for the petrol consumption..

Toyo bising mah.. Bridgestone a lot quieter..

Yoko's thread doesn't appeal much to me.. LoL..

ya perhaps we should list them out .... i saw zeng listed those good ones ... maybe should list those to avoid as well.
but as i recall....most mention ....are not PESC but proton authorized sc ? lazy to dig back.. so many threads..

Just back from Serdang SC fix the window klok klok sound again. CoSE unable to fix, they just Grease it, when went to Serdang SC,.,they open up and say CoSE use wrong grease, ( i also puzzle lo), must use a try a grease dark gray colour. So far no sound for the moment, (Crossing Finger) ..

Also go personally ask that fella about the tuning. He say will improve the pickup and the throttle fill feel light. (Maybe the next service i ask him try tune).
As for ZenGTMM brake rotor. I ask also, he say if all still stock. Can claim warranty.

but i do notice.... our ecu do learn out driving habit....or maybe is just me
usually after long distance drive from kl to penang will notice not much pickup from stop traffic... after a few drive.. now i feel is lighter and more pickup.. press abit .. already surge infront.. hehe when jsut got back from kl.. omg .. need to step on it abit more and can still feel the car abit hard to move...

That 1 is Trend Point, it's at Jalan Tun Razak. F0cked up Authorised SC, please don't EVER go there.

nice.. get 3 more!

close d?  cant add 1 more? lol 

just back from bukit serdang sc to meet up with the legendary master jacky to study my persona ECU. cannot talk it in public because it's top secret. scared got 25 zai haha

found out that my fuel pump faulty, help me order parts to claim warranty. this is the root cause why my fc sucks according to him and not able to pump 40L of fuel.

Change to aftermarket Rotor. Can get Brembo OEM or TRW Rotor for the front (RM 150 ~ RM 180)

Correct me if I am wrong.  Is it wiser to change all 4 wheel hubs to larger one (which can accommodate  5 wheel nuts) instead of using back the original (4 wheel nuts) before installing excessively large rims/tires. Not to mention, Proton can void warranty for all Steering & suspension parts if they so wish.  I am only afraid unauthorised mods like huge rim/tires may compromise safety.

If you look at the Persona's version of China's Youngman L3, you will see that the large wheels are planted on 5 bolts hubs which I feel is able to cope with the additional stress exerted on the drive-train & suspension.

rckh, to change all 4 wheels to 5 lugs will cost a bomb, not to mention that you might have to change the whole braking system of the car as well. This way it will definitely void the warranty for the brakes and suspension. And in some cases, the upgrade to 5 lugs causes the wheels to be wobbly at high speeds. The way I see it, if there's a need to upgrade to 5 lugs, then the whole braking system should be upgraded as well for safety reasons. 

RM1300.

I wanted to change to 5 lug earlier too as there are wider varieties of rims to choose from. But after thinking about the extra cost, hassle, and possibility of voiding warranty, I settled for a 4lug instead.
