But i dont mind using the Petronas ATF-XP3, seems quite good for me.. After service my car with the ATF and Edge Sport engine oil my FC very easily goes below 8.5L/100km.. So cos always saving petrol i tend to fnf a lot nowadays.. For my current tank even with high speed cruising and around 15-20% of Fnf also i can get almost 470km b4 it started to blink..

Ya.. If u manage to buy Magnatec lube for around RM80-85 from tesco or giant or carrefour, then total service cost not even 100.. Cheap like hell.

Ucan try to go COSE.. There very easy to claim warranty..

Dunno lah.. Lol.. That xan never. Update the first post at all..

Yeah do an appointment first then only go.. At least the service duration will be a bit faster.. Haha..en just tell them that u got iafm problem.. Let them inspect for u lah..

not yet lah.. 2500 post onwards then only change thread..

Ya it's around that kind of mileage the and brake pads starts to wear out.. Especially standard oem ones..

Haha.. Mine 26k ady.. Brake pads feels like it's not as good as it used to be ady..

Nope.. Standard OEM ones.. Rs pad waiting to sell off.. No money..

haha.. I thought KC wanted to do it in Cheras? Cos my house no extension plug wor..

Ya msg him just now ady..

No leh.. Was sleeping peacefully in Bukit jalil..

LOL.. This fella thought he was driving a Perodua Tikus kah.. Perodua Kelisa adalah.. haha. .

Not sure.. Sometimes is also up to them also.. Like mine they cant hear the sound much so they say nothing is wrong with it..

No lah.. dont get cheated.. The brake pads are listed as wear and tear items and are not covered under warranty.. U can change any pads u want as long as its suitable for Persona.. Even if u were to change parts that would void the warranty, it would only void the warranty for that particular part of the car.. it doesnt void the warrranty for the whole car..

Unker lim can sponsor u RON97.. No worries.. 11L/100km also u can afford one..

LOL.. U manyak shiok sendiri oh..

Going to SS15 now.. Gonna kepo kepo see how terrible Empire is..

Haha.. It's most probably belt tensioner spoilt ady.. I went and claimed mine at COSE..

ya lah.. Nothing to do at home.. Some more got classes later in sunway..so might as well go earlier to teman the girls.

Teman only.. This NL a bit difficult to korek lah..the other girls all not up to my standards..

Yeah.. For very long ady mah.. U dunno meh?

Yeah sunway.. A lot of cars are being modified here lah.. But prices here are a tad expensive compared to other places..

haha.. So want to go genting tonight?

Own.. TBSS.. Have to spend money like around 270 to change the tensioner.. But sometimes it might be due to the belting too.. Is ur belting nearing the end of it's service life?

No lah nothing will happen one lah.. I have left my car without starting for 6days straight and it still can be started without any problem..

According to the service manual it states that the timing belt hv to be changed every 80k km.. So around 70k u have tovsee for signs of wear and tear lah.. U can change to Gates brand belt. Very reputable company.. Their belts are designed to last 100k km..

Automotive garage got sell..

cheaper than oem proton one loh..

U have to change the belt tensioner also.. Other stuffs is like spark plugs, air filter, and some other things.. U can check it at www.proton-edar.com.my, can't access the website now using my iPad..

Yeah the timing belt package.. Consist of 3belts if I'm not mistaken..

Added on September 28, 2011, 10:15 pmNo oem boot release for it, but u can upgrade the alarm system to something better like the viper alarm system. 1.4k comes with everything a S-class security system has and with the motor for boot release.

is water pump compulsory?
i saw it from other forum....

[/quote]
Not really compulsory.. But better change.. Cause if the water pump were to fail at the wrong time, u most likely will damage ur engine quite terribly, or mb even worse cause ur car to burn due to overheating..

[quote=KKW,Sep 29 2011, 12:11 AM]
Hmm.. I just wondering should I replace my car battery?
It's been 2years already.. I worry it cant start only

[/quote]
No need so scared lah.. Just buy a voltmeter.. Everytime u start ur car keep track of the voltage lah.. If it drops below 12V then u know the battery is failing ady.

Yeah.. But urs i not sure lah.. ur voltmeter is the analogue type.. Get those digital ones.. At least the readout is accurate.. Analogue ones may give inaccurate reading after the spring soften a bit.. When ur car is started the battery will be charging at 13.8-14.1V.. when ur car is off normally the voltage should be around 12.5v only.. Nothing more.. When ur battery drop below 11.8v after leaving it overnight then its time to change battery ady..

Hi there. These are the prices of the original persona when it was launched.
Proton Persona 1.6AT H-Line Metallic – RM55,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT M-Line Metallic – RM52,800
Proton Persona 1.6MT M-Line Metallic – RM49,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Metallic – RM48,449
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Solid – RM47,999
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Metallic – RM45,449
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Solid – RM44,999

From there u can see that getting the 2nd option would be wiser, considering that the car is h-line, comes with all the safety features (trust me u need them, im driving a bline and having a 4 wheel disc brakes and ABS is very crucial).
Mileage for it seems to be on the high side, but then do a good inspection on the engine, whether there are unknown rattling sound, engine feels underpowered etc. New car smell and looks can be touched up, but engine condition gives good indication of the maintenance of the car..

Take the car out for a good test drive, inspect for major repairs in the engine and boot areas and the pillar areas, see if it had been in any accident b4.. This is good cos first u get a good condition car, 2nd is u can try nego for lower prices when u see negligible damages. Do bring a good friend who knows his car stuffs well to inspect the car too. Service record isnt a major concern as long as the condition of the engine is good.

IAFM gives much better acceleration than CPS, for auto transmission lah.. So rest assured we have a very good advantage for city driving compared to CPS.. U wont be using CPS most of the time as the CPS only kicks in around 4.2-4.4k RPM.. And the stup1d gear ratio are so lousy, that everytime when u change the gear the rev falls below the CPS region, causing the car to pull back a bit.. sien.. FOr FC wise i dunno lah, but from feedbacks i know IAFM is giving much better consumption.. Around the region of 1-1.5L/100km more efficient in conservative driving.

Yeah.. Girls dont like to get their hands dirty, let alone take care of a car that serves as mere transport to them..

Diesel nozzle can go into petrol car lubang meh? The nozzle are bigger lah.. cant fit in at all.



Go to automotive garage and find h_izwan, he gives a good price for PE bodykits..

No lah.. Pokai so terribly, have to sell butt ady..

U think the girl knows how to differentiate between car logos ah? U tell them to differentiate between LV, Fendi, Coach, Gucci, Prada logo they know lah..

Yeah many times ady.. all Bline..

Damn.. Got wifi.. become B+ line ady... hahaha..

Damn.. 20 pages for saga?? We need to spam, spam it hard and well.. Need to upgrade to a smartphone.. so can access internet through phone lah.

Persona old ones came with the camtakpro engines right? after 2008 only they incorporated the IAFM into it if im not mistaken.

Did u get a quote on how much would a brake pump cost u?
Do monitor for car nose diving, see if it has reduced, and also handbrake performance, if its more stronger.

=.= that is the genie's hovercraft going on water lah..
