Hai.. I would like to ask something. I already got my PE h- line yesterday, when i am drving from kl to my hometown pahang, after i off the aircond there is still air coming thru from the aircond panel and didnot stop. I already checked on my engine, i notify that my fan for my car aircond already off.

It is normal that there is air coming from the aircond panel eventhough we alreay off but engine still running. I suspect that the air come from my aircond blower..

Any sifus can give advise, tq. Hihu

Thanks for da info. I will try to look into this matters. If cant be solve, means i need to go proton sc.. 1000km just around the corner...

The air coming when the car alreay stop meam engine in idle position. And the air still coming from the panel. Supposedly there is no air coming thru from the panel. Seems the car not moving...

Yea. I should..
Haiz.. now regret... 

The noise sounded like one of the pulley is not screwed in tightly.. I can see slight shaking in the pulley area.. Not sure which pulley though, but definitely not the crank pulley..

Oh yea u just reminded me.. I have a lot of starting problems these few days.. The car takes many cranks to start.. Sometimes crank up to 8-10times.. I also scared the battery kong later.. Need to ask them to check it also..

Doesnt sounds like chirping.. More like the engine iding super rough.. Like muscle car sound.. serious.. XD

Yeah serious wei.. I dont feel any degrade in performance whatsoever.. Instead i found my pickup to be super tremendous.. 
But then takut lah.. Ini proton tau.. Got sound means got problem.. 

disc brake also can claim? i tot its wear and tear not included in warranty?
whats wrong with your power window?

mine start having kling kong sounds when turning corner d.... need to change as well at next service... or i can go change it anytime after made a appointment ?

yeahhh these few days i also hardly could start on my engine... cold weather probably ?

Saman was on the 3rd of Jan.. Was rushing to go bukit jalil that time.. I thought it was the pickup in front of me that kena.. Deng should have gotten down and kill the fella on the spot.. That would have been public service from my part.

Kk then..
Thanks bro.

I know ... That is why this is my last car. I got a proton WIRA for 10 years no such problem and still surviving until now clock at 600k km. T ought new car no such prob but see see...

There are only 2 MAIN SC .. One located in Jln KK in ipoh( EON center) really hopeless/Rude/ Tak apa Attitude.

Next Must try the one in Mengelembu. Anyone been there before???

Hi, I got a friend just bought a persona not long ago.. but in that month the persona got problem already until now.
The case is like this, when the car is moving and then you want to brake, the car will shut down itself. Not just once, but many times. Even the SC also cannot rectify it. They ask my friend to bring it to the HQ. I think he is going to bring it after CNY. Do anyone having this problem before? If yes, please tell the solution. Thanks

yup..fog lamps do helps, buy fog lamps for Persona at its original angle setting tends to blind incoming traffic..u have to adjust it a bit

original headlamp + fog lamps is a lot better than projector + fog lamp especially when its raining at night...

My PE got is now over 2600km and into 2nd month start getting those common proble like sound from right engine compartment when conering on unevent surface, back seat "yik yik" sound, beside of that problem as below:

1. When my car on moving and accelerate it over 3000rpm then release the throtter rpm start drop till 2500 and will hear "EEEeee..." sound like plane engine slown down but when the rpm decrese below 1800 the sound will gone, i try to stop the car and shift to N and rev the engine it dosn't have the sound, what is the problem? changing belt will help ?     

2. I expiriance one time when i shift to R position and press on break the engine will shake and can hear a scary shaking sound from front eingine, i try shift to D and go fwd and stop to N and shift back to R go back ward and press break the sound came back, then i stop the engine for 1 min. try start it again the proble still the same. Then i let it over night till next morning all the problem gone ! anyone face this problem before ? what is the problem ? 

3. I got "tik tik" sound from the dashboard look like behind the meter cluster when my car in moving every time i accelerate the "tik" sound like relay will came out, the sound just one "tik" every time i accelerate the car, i try to stop the car at N and rev engine it is no "tik" sound. 
 

0w30 ? 30 heat range to low with thin oil maybe the grade and brand is not suitable for your car.. u should change it immediately when it not suitable..
normally the oil and water are absorb the heat when you are running at high RPM..but my customer using 0w50 on their persona have no problem.

my customer using ENEOS 0w50 and 5w40 have no problem at the moment 
but i recommended 5w40 since all my personan customer like to used this grade.

for your fan.. u should take check the wiring..it supposedly not running when the engine is off..

Hi.. I just got my persona manual bline last week. Now still below 1000km.
I found that when cornering right, got these knocking sound. when cornering left then dun have. is it this the common problem?

Problem 1: Knocking sound when cornering on uneven surface coming from Front RHS
Causes:  This is due to the power steering fluid delivery piping knocking against the metal pipe and the body underneath it as the uneven road causes it to twitch up and down.
OLD Pipe (left) vs New Pipe (right)
[attachmentid=1911676][attachmentid=1911677]

2. I found that the clutch is quite high. the clutch need to release very high only the car can go...

3. The radio usb is not able to play the mp3 files from my thumbdrive.
is it related to folder structure problem or naming for the audio files?
The display keep showing reading from usb for very long time...

Thanks Zeng and khtee. The usb problem is solved now.... Its becoz i use 8gb thumb drive... When i use smaller capacity drive then ok d hehe.

For the power steering fluid assembly, i afraid not good to have major fix when the car is new. Scare that after fix more problem comes. But if dun fix, next time need pay to fix it.. quite contradict here. Same for the clutch things, if the clutch is so high and the car wont "eat" the clutch due to not  fully release clutch due to too high, i think still can live with it.... -.-"

  The power steering assembly is just change the pipe from the reservoir to the power steering.. It used to be a steel pipe which causes the sound.. Now they just change it into a flexible pipe instead.. So i dont think it would create any problem.. Furthermore i recommend u change it during ur 10k service.. Cos they also replace the power steering fluid for free too.. 

I am going for 20k service, hopefully not so soon.

Tik-tik sound, Yik-yik sound, Knock-knock sound go away......

Booking Puchong SC on 9/2 tell them got complain need to check the car, appointment 10/2 9:00. Yesterday 8:55a.m. arrive lot of ppl already there for waiting, all Proton SC staff report to work, 5 SA, 1 cashier, 1 reception, 1 tea lady, serve at customer waiting area but don't know how many mechanic, also up stair still got some people working, tell the SA i got the tik-tik sound when accelerate and the knocking sound when corner on uneven road, they wrote down and estimate 2hrs to finish, SA with me got to car for checking the item in car and write down the meter reading, all the SA look friendly 2 of the SA was the young malay lady.

The waiting area are clouded and only with 42 inch LCD tv, find a place sit down the tea lady will come and ask you tea or coffee or milo, their service head report to work 9:30a.m. all the work shop full of car and all the SA busy checking their customer's car none of them sitting at their place only the cashier and tea lady at the waiting area to serve customer, tea lady always come to ask customer want some more drink, don't know how many cup of tea i had drink. Around 10:30a.m. 5 Chinese mechanics reported in SC one of then the shirt written COSE Body shop, they come together with some spare parts, i guess they must send from COSE to backup the branches.
 
Around 11:00a.m. the reception come and ask those waiting customer car number plate so she will go to work shop to follow up the status and come back report to the customer with estimated finish time(this is good) . Walk down the workshop all the mechanic are busy including those just arrive from COSE. Finally my car  finish at 11:45a.m. at that time i guest sure they will tell me they need to order the parts to replace the steel hose and so on, but surprisingly the service report written the hose assembly has been changed and the tik-tik sound due to the loosen fuel line bracket and it has been tighten back, although the job has taken more that the estimated 2 hrs but all the problem settle and no need to go second time is reasonable for me, overall I can said the Puchong SC are good, the only thing to comment are the waiting area too small, no WiFi and no canteen like COSE, anyway i visit again for next service. 

sien... Ha? balancing & alignment? it's free if u use stock rims..i thinnk
