Does anyone change steering to Waja/Preve steering??

Persona steering's quite not looking good :/

I quite like it as it is actually. Small and nice to hold.

When was the last time you have had the accessory belt and/or tensioner replaced? What is your car's mileage?

Car mileage almost 80k but confirm is not belt or tensioner sound. Because I open my car window and clearly the sound come from front wheel there.

check ur brake pad first. then look for other parts.
Look at the pad, is it thin or still thick.

brake pad got indicator will cause the screeching sound when it is already thin..

Brake pad thin will give screeching sound even the car moving around? Only apply at driver side the sound.

it will make the cit cit sound even the car moving cause the brake pad indicator touching the disc.

The brake pad on driver side usually wear more compare to passenger side.
i not sure how to explain this.

u need to take out the driver side wheel only can check the brake pad left how much.

if wheel bearing , u will hear humming sound which is different sound from brake pad.

Then i think i need to bring to mechanic to change the brake pad. Before change ask the mechanic is it my brake pads are finish.

What rims are your Persona using? If it's the alloy wheels you should be able to see the brake pads easily.

ur cit cit sound only appear when car is moving rite.

Jus tell the mechanic to investigate wat is cit cit sound can dy.
Let them check and show u where the problem came from.

Tensioner bearing also cit cit sound when start the car.

I change to sport rim already, but i try to looked beside the rim can't see much the brakepad thick or thin

How loud was the screeching sound? Did it start off very loudly before reducing a little and then rise again before disappearing? The FEAD belt tensioner is just right beside the front right wheel, so it may be from it.. I don't personally think that the brake pads will create such a sound especially when not being applied.

Route taken


FC at meter, 60-100kmh normal road, 110-120kmh highway.


Distance 172km, 100km highway, 70km normal road


Petrol consume


Fuel meter after refuel


60-100kmh normal road, 110-120kmh highway
With aircon temp at 30 degree C.

Method use for refuel
-when refuel petrol, fill petrol until click then wait, then refill again till click, then lift the nozzle a bit and slowly refill until so many click until can see the petrol at the hole.

FC calculation
5.51l/100km
18.15 km/l
11-12cent/km

My temp control i seldom adjust, keep at middle. Unless very hot day, or fetch ppl (normally i drive alone) i will adjust it. Normally i adjust the fan speed control (turn to on, turn to off). But then......... since a year ago, it started to become crazy, especially when i put it at 1, or not on at all, the air cond will on-off-on by itself sometimes. I suspect its the knob problem, intermittent problem maybe?

My car brake got screeching sound since around 6m.o. Everytime go service, ask them to check, what i get is "your brake pad still ok, very thick".
But i really dont know why the sound is there. I asked my other fren diriving persona, his reply "mine already has sounds like that almost from the beginning"
So, any ideas? Its annoying. And it causes ppl to turn their head when i brake.

I usually keep at 30c only, cool enough already.

What did you mean air cond on-off by itself? You mean the compressor sound on-off? or the blower on-off itself?

I'm not sure which is the compressor sound you are referring to, but i think the answer to your question is the blower. coz i can feel air when it happens.

even mine also same but lessen dy.
I spray on water on the brake caliper to clean the dust everytime wash car.
Let the brake cool down first before spray .

i not sure bout others.

You can feel air?
If the blower on off mean no air come out when blower went off.

FC v gd... similar hybrid...

Uhh.. maybe i'll rephrase..
What i meant was.. the on-off-on-off was accompanied by air-no air-air-no air..
How i know its on, the light indicator in the middle of the fan control switches on and off
Normally the light will only switch on if the fan is on PLUS when u choose cooling (air cond) (i normally dont adjust that)
So when the on-off-on-off happens, the light is going on-off-on-off plus air-no air-air-no air too...
