Done with service yesterday. RM 131 in Puchong service centre.
Told them about the niggling sound heard in dashboard, first few KM very good. Next few KM all come back. haih...same same...
Best part is when you open the door while the key is still inside, have sound rite? the sound also changed. While reverse sensor also changed sound. Hahaha... but the door are much easier to closed after telling them about it.
The gear are much better to engage in after service as well.
Overall, not bad but nothing great to shout about.
Looking forward for a TT with seniors sekalian to learn about PERSONA.
Can you describe the sound you hear from the dashboard? Does it go like "krink krink krink krink softly?" What do you mean the sound for the key in ignition and the reverse sensor has changed? How does it sound like now?
There's nothing much to learn about the Persona (Elegance), aside from it being a Proton.
List of some of the issues that may occur:
i) IAFM issue ("tak tak tak" sound that increases with rev increase), whether or not it affects the performance is situational (i.e depending on car, some experience performance loss, some say just noise).
ii) Power window issue (for some, e.g not working, sound when rolling up/down).
iii) Power steering whirring sound (when turning with the car either moving or stopped); usually solved by replacing the power steering fluid.
iv) Air-cond module switch issue (Blower turns on/off by itself, readjusts its own speed w/o any input from user, etc; not many Persona seem to be affected by this.)
v) Battery death within a year or less, or less than one and a half year.
