I have read about this common problem on the first page, n my persona do have this knocking sound when driving on uneven surface or passing small pothole or bonggol n etc.. so im wondering if the cause of the sound is from the arm or it is the problem stated..

Claim are FOC even for first batch persona?

just wanna ask... in there any way to remove scratches on the glove box compartment?
*
Can't remove as the plastic part. Already scratch.. U can only smoothen it by rubbing it with rough cloth..

QUOTE(IceBikers @ Jul 6 2012, 02:22 PM)
Why does it have to do with brake pad????? e

I'm saying the depth of brake pressing.
for e.g
usually press 1/4 of the depth, but now I need to press all the way (6/8)only the braking take place.
*
With better brakepad, u got better braking power.. Small boy push u so hard than only u move a little, big guy push u little only u melayang ady..

again Why does it have to do with brake pad????? and i wasn't talking about braking power.

I'm saying the DEPTH of brake pressing.

i give another example..

from 0 to 10
0 brake pedal is not pressed
10 brake pedal is full pressed.

I need to press the brake pedal to level 7 onwards, only the brake pad make contact with the brake rotor.
from 0 to 7, basically the brake pad make no contact with rotor.

0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10

i was asking is there any way to shorten the depth.. for e.g. from 0 to 4 or 5.

fyi, i'm using IMP Platinum brake pads since march, before this, was RapidStop and Bendix MKT.
*
Your brake pad are always touch the rotor slightly.. If the problem comes from the pump, when u stepped to your so called level 7, it should completely stop, if its gradually goes to 8, 9, 10, somewhere is leaking..

if u purposely brake hard... i think it will lock... i mean purposely... else it wont happen.. but i still brake at a safe distance...

No lah.. It won't lock.. If its locked, means your ABS got some issues..

Hello to all,

New to the forum, and do came across you guys in here..

I was in the midst of looking for a new persona (H) line, but seems that the proton edar website does not have this?

Anyone in here knows where I can get  a new H line persona?

Mhh.. By the way not sure if this is a right place to ask, if you guy's were to have a budget of RM50++ K to choose..

Which one would you go?? Myvi? Persona (B)?? or any others?? smile.gif

Just a suggestion from you guy's to me, I would be more than glad to have it as a consideration for my new car smile.gif

Maybe saga flx SE can be put as consideration as well.. Full accessories.. Nice ride as well..

Maybe I want to sell my h line pe but then again with preve still problematic, I guess my well polished and maintained pe will still do. I'm actually quite please with it. Comfortable leather interior with increased torque thru lcp, very comfortable with its stock braking (tho now use fbk pad, same with stock but no brake dust), spongy....don't really feel it, braking good enuf for my everyday 100 to 130 drive. Cold air cond, a bit noisy on engine but less heat due to vkool and silver coloured car. Great handling, a bit small on seat but with leather steering and seat,.quite luxurious feel, not the high end luxury but poor man luxury is better than empty thin car feel.
*
And for that kinda prices, I couldn't think any better car in terms of highway driving and handling..

Hello there, nice to meet u.. Last night, celcom lunched a commercial, are u the main actor on that commercial?

QUOTE(Woon Ann @ Jul 8 2012, 02:53 PM)
LOL. haha. Thanks dude!!
Btw, there is another problem, At first my water spray (I dont know what's that call, spray already then my wiper will move one.  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif ) can be function nicely. But now, I don't know why nor matter how i tried, it just cant spray out any water.  hmm.gif  hmm.gif
*
Pop the hood and stand beside the reservoir there, then ask someone to pull the wiper lever, u should be hearing a motor-ish sound.. If u don't hear it, try to check the connection there.. If that doesn't help, go to your nearest ATM and withdraw some money to bring to SC or sparepart shop..

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Jul 8 2012, 03:31 PM)
The fuel consumption calculation in our car is probably derived from engine load. It continues to estimate fc even when ngv is used.
*
It calculates base on the signal from ecu there.. How much ecu give fuel to engine divide by distance travelled.. They're not calculated by your fuel tank there..
