But inspira not nice to drive.. PE much better.. Even the insulation also better.. Just the power is somewhat lacking.

same as u lo..i oso feel the insulation of inspira was LPPL wit our PE lo..even my parents oso commented tcan hear tyre noise clearly when they sat at rear seat..and the steering feel too light and car will feel abit floating when crusing 140kmh above..

shouldnt the battery be connected parallel to the alternator? after engine start.... wouldnt most of the power supply come from the alternator?

yup but they all terminate at the battery terminal, one wire loose all also kena.

V22 ~ im back !!! hello guyz ~!!! =)

unless .... our persona has some unique wiring design... alternator are suppose to be always parallel to the battery...
by parallel means .. both can act as power source... never tried this on my persona yet.. but in my old car... once the engine started...i can just unplug the wire (ground) from the battery (did it before .. to check whether is the alternator is working or not)
but i could be wrong

Agreed.. Probably because Proton cut cost here & there lah.. the 16 inch tyres somewhat feels too thick lah..



Yes, the battery is connected parallel to the alternator. If u understand how the battery works, then u'll know what I'm talking about.

In a car, the battery merely provides power to start the car & power the accessories such as lights, radio, etc when the engine is off. Like what u just said, after the engine has started, the alternator provides most of the power needed for the car. But the lesser known fact is that the battery completes the circuit, and it acts as a large transistor to absorb and regulate current spikes from the alternator. The current provided by the alternator is not consistent (think of how ur headlights dim when the compressor kicks in), and so the battery smoothens this out. Irregular power surges, as we know, are bad for electronic boards in the car (ignition coil, ECU, radio, etc). If the general electrical load on the car is more than the alternator output (more than 50 amps), the car engine will stall. The best example that I could think of is the compressor which uses quite a lot of power to run. When the compressor starts running, ur RPM drops a little, then goes back up to the normal idling RPM. Which is exactly why I wouldn't recommend installing a LCP that's too light or small as it may reduce the alternator's ability.

The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) draws power from the battery rather than alternator. If the battery is weak or faulty or the connectors are loose, the PCM may not be able to draw a constant power to the ignition coils, which explains the engine dieing off in the middle of the road. Although in that particular member's case I don't deny the possibility of a faulty PCM.

Do not ever do that with PE if u're not willing to spend money to replace crucial e-boards on ur car.

Zeng, seriously... that car belong to u?

He talk cock oni la cannot afford petrol. If he can afford 3 car loans u think petrol will be an issue meh..

correct also hor... talking cock...

Where the hell is the Talk Cock King?

Duno. After TT no see him active till now.

Maybe after seeing the regular faces, scared to talk cock oredi.

I know many mechanics use 7K lube change schedule for semi and 10K for fs. The last time when I change FS, my mechanic use 10K as next schedule. Then I ask him, he say expensive, so schedule longer. Then I ask him, how long he use FS for his own car and his best schedule change, 5K......***....he himself say 5K as fs actually last only as long as mineral but in order to avoid customer relunctant to use FS....extend lor....

So for semi, try not to exceed 5K service schedule. FS better 5K also but if no money, then 7K max, tho I advise if really no money, use either semi or mineral at service at 5K. Garantee no worries on having black non transparent oil issue.

Also note the blacky stuff is abt contaminant, addictives is still wearing out early.

2ndly, if you always got start in start/stop traffic, should change at 5K coz idling or slow speed, mileage not moving much but engine still goes on. Thus highway runs guys usually have cleaner engine than city drive guys at same milaege.

cari forum..but muz be careful to do at a,b,and c pillar..bcoz v need take out the pillar cover and tis maybe will break the clip if din take out wit properly..tats why the EA foam seller din encourage me to do it..

Minyak man online again..

U gotta be a real noob to break the clips If u're delicate u wont break it lah..

Darn sien, at CoSE now. Now CoSE implement Streamyx Zone with timed login. If no own ID and use its free internet, have to login once every 1 minute or so.

So fast ur car due for service again liao? How many KMs?

Should be 5k. He bought his car later than me.
