I changed mine last year, but I don't really remember the price. I do recall it being around RM200 ~ RM300 though.

Last I heard outside is abt RM600 or so, not sure tho coz I changed the control knobs module set under warranty when the button on off by itself occasionally. So far, does not reoccur after the change. So I strongly suspect its the same case for vort3x.
*
Mine also does not have anymore problems, no random on-off at off position, no speed adjustment biggrin.gif. I changed the blower ( "original" at RM170 ) at the same time too, so no more fap fap fap sound at low speeds.

And the unmentioned increased padding for sound insulation for H-Line that greatly affect the comfortability rating.

Doesn't really matter though. The PE H-Line was priced at RM59,699,00 (AUTO) before being discontinued hmm.gif. Difference you save from buying a Persona SV (AUTO) is about RM11311. Spend RM5000 on "premium" soundproofing, RM1000 on electric side mirrors, RMxxx on foglights, RM1000+- for H-Line body kit, another few hundred for the chassis braces and still got somemore for others drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

Just tested my rear bonnet cannot open using the key. It stuck when turn it with the key........... Salesman ask me to go back to SC and ask them change the lock.

Need advised should i go to SC now or should I wait till my 1k service.

If you have time to go now, why not? If not then wait until it's time for the first service.

My new persona sv has a small prob, which is for the backdoors, I need to slam harder to close it. front doors no prob. Is it normal for new cars to hv stiffer doors?
*
I could use one finger to close all the doors of my Persona w/o any extra rubber seals.

As you can see, my hook latch not in original position. Just unscrew and trial n error at any position.

I see. hmm.gif My front doors can close normally but there's a slight gap between the roof area and the top of the door.

I don't think is the positioning of the latch, I can feel slight rebound if I slowly close it. Could it be possible the rubber seal at the margins of the door is too stiff for a new car?
*
Don't think that should be the case... hmm.gif I'd suggest bringing it back to the SC for adjustment.

The gap I see here is exactly the same with mine... Is it like that after the adjustment?

Will the gap cause water leaking into the cabin?

So far no leaking from the top of the door.

QUOTE(Effy92 @ Feb 8 2014, 03:52 PM)
The top gap not because of the hook latch adjustment. The alignment is like that at the first place. Maybe persona has poor fitment.  sad.gif

If you're worried ask them to realign the door. Mine has similar gaps for the top and bottom part, but the side gap is almost equal.

At Satria SC doing 30K KM service.
Asked to change power steering fluid and gearbox oil.
Been questioned by the counter lady why I wanna change so early.
*
Ask her if she's paying or you're paying. brows.gif

On a serious note, if you plan to change power steering fluid, maybe consider using premium D3 ATF so you won't have to change it anytime soon.

How can the steering fluid be kotor?  huh.gif
As far as I know, it's all in the matter of topping it up when it's low and changing it when it's due.
For brake fluids, you may want to change early if the car usually does hard braking as the fluid breaks down over time against heat.
*
Aside from acting as a hydraulic fluid, doesn't it also lubricate the moving parts of the power steering pump? hmm.gif Heat degrades ATF as well, and replacing ATF will probably be the better option in the long run instead of replacing the power steering pump in my opinion.

The thing is there is no hissing sound, no symptom, no idle fluctuation that goes near the range of stalling (stalling always have to vibration before stall). This one just brake smoothly, and when I pickup after toll barrier raised, realised car steering heavy, engine and all light on and engine dead without any prior symptom....just died like that and allow the car to drift to the middle lane after toll.

This morning drive to work all ok except for the possibly placebo heavier steering and acceleration feel.
*
I noticed that the acceleration is heavier each time after a very heavy braking to a stop or close to a stop for mine. It feels normal again after some time of driving though hmm.gif And heavier steering? Don't think so. hmm.gif

biggrin.gif Just bought and received a set of PIAA Aero Vogue wipers. Now comes the worrying part sleep.gif. I'm contemplating to super-glue them to the wiper arms, but if anything goes wrong with the wiper arms the whole set habis. sleep.gif Maybe I should get a new set of wiper arms at the same time.

When one's wiper need to use super glue to stick them to the wiper arms, he's screwed. When one's wiper need to change a whole set of arms, he's super screwed. When one's go and buy a wiper than his stock wiper arm cannot use, he's darn rich or he's an idiot. Which one is he now?  rolleyes.gif

Cakaplah.....I tot the wiper got different holder (those sports one do). Why do you think I opt for PIAA radix? Unless one looks under the wiper (the PIAA wording is down there and non colored thus hard to spot), it looks virtually identically to standard wiper (except for the built quality). I want the wiper for its excellent long lasting wiping efficiency, well if looks got,better but as you mentioned, then you have to worry of having no wiper at all.....when its stolen.
*
I just found out that the replacement blade for the Aero Vogue may actually be the Radix Silicon wiper hmm.gif. sleep.gif I identified certain areas of the clip I could put something to prevent it from opening easily. Maybe also sun pin change wiper arm since it's kinda ruined anyway (the paint job and maybe a little bit of the structure since at one point I was just bending it everywhere to stop the wipers from juddering), and if I do actually use superglue or even epoxy to secure the wiper to the arm. But still have to worry about the whole arm being removed. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Whole arms removed is a viable option for wiper thief. Actually quite easy.

As for replacement blade, I think they are using same silicon blade for most of its model. Its very long and just cut to the right length of the wiper you bought.

btw. PIAA really good, one portion money, one portion quality (Chinese saying), to maintain its maximum efficiency for so long under hot sun is impressive albeit price also impressive...

I guess... I just called one of the spare parts shop I go to often to get parts, and it's about RM30 for a piece of wiper arm buatan malaysia. hmm.gif Dunno can last or not. Oh, and a question. When you're switching wiper speed levels, when the arm is moving, does it jerk when you switch? Mine does sad.gif.
