PETROL overflow or engine oil? it seem that most of persona at this thread have a good EXPERIENCE with the CAR

Should be petrol overflow. Heard about this before regarding that when start cranking that time, don't let go the position of the key until the engine started.

How much damage?

Finally took the plunge got the SE last week. And must say its a good choice. Feels pretty tout and comfortable enough for a car < 60 k.

Fueling so far, 10 - 11 litre for 100 km ... expected as the engine is tight. Hopefully the number will go down < 10 ...

Handling = Good ....

Will do after I get my car back from them tmr. They say this problem happens to other car also but rare la.

If I heard correctly should be engine oil. He remove the air filter when cranking. According to him, seems not enough air flow to the engine cause it to not able to start properly.

You using stock Air Intake ? ( i mean Air Filter)

Hehe RM260 per donut. So total RM1040 for 195/60/R15.
I think its worth it since it's quiet tire even at 120km/h.
First time I hear persona's engine sound rev below 2k rpm

Tested during heavy downpour last weekend. Very grippy tire.
I did tried going over deep water puddle on purpose at 90km/h
No hydroplanning at all

So cheap?
Where you change..? at Seri Kembangan and Puchong quote me RM 305/pcs
btw, how much you trade in your old tyre?

No trade-in value. I used my previous Conti Contact 1 till my front worn out becoming semi-slick tire while my rear tire becoming near F1 tire. No patterns at all lol The CC1 tires lasted me only 30,000km Hope Michelin XM2 last me at least 40,000km

I changed in Melaka

Hmm... Proton Fault la.. ask teach their mech to pour 4l engine oil into the engine.. lol...

Walau so cheap..
My XM1 tyre used up 50% on 20k mileage..

I am also on CC1 and my mileage now is 30k KM, but my tyre thread still OK.

Agreed on this. I change from Castrol Edge to Petronas Syntium 5000 0w-40. Engine feels feather light even reaching near 10,000km interval. Quieter too Avoid Shell if possible. After 4000km, you'll feel that the engine become sluggish.

Original R8 with 4 extra cylinders lah..

No, trend point does not allow own lube.

If immobiliser kacau, the engine won't crank at all. Similar to trying to start a car with a completely flat/dead battery.

most of the SC will pour full 4L engine oil when service...

nope using Works air filter...haha forgot to change back the filter when technician came..then he saw when open the air filter casing and say best is still to use original air filter

Ya la...1st service they pour nice nice...but 2nd service pour all 4L
