Wahh..yur waja reli geng..I pump rm 115 only can go maxxx 400km..1lite around 7km lidat..u drive manual ka?...waja after 10 year many part start to rot..power window always spoil..door handle break..breaking system not so good oso..mounting cause vibration..but all parts r cheap.

Planning to sell my persona oso..anyone wanna buy?1.6a hline 2010 still look new..hehe.

D reason i buy over this waja is bcz top overhaul is done and some new internal engine parts are replaced. And it is auto transmission...

Dear all sifussss~ new persona brake got "krok krok" sound when release is what problem ya? Is it common? Feels like not lubricated enough...

Hi I need advice from sifus here.

My 2009 M-line Persona already clocked 80K km plus, and the suspension has lost its bite. I remembered how if felt so comfy when I drove it home the first time. I just bought Almera for wife, used it quite often and when return driving the Persona, my car felt lousy in terms of comfort & refinement (but still great on handling & steering feedback). I realized my Persona is ageing fast, with all type of sounds coming from the dashboard and left door assembly when driving over uneven surface or bumps. To compare, my friends' City, Altis and Livina mileage all had reached 100K but never encountered such problem nor changed their absorbers. To summarize, here are the sounds:

Kraaaaak : when alight & moving out from car.
Kiook: suspension noise when driving over bumps slow at 10kmh
krik krik krik: something inside dashboard rattling
tak tuk tak tuk: something inside the door assembly rattling

See, I don't need to turn on the radio to play music in my Persona. As much as I love my car for its brilliant handling and solid drive, the enjoyment was somewhat hampered by these annoying noises.

So, my questions are:

1. Does changing Proton original shock absorber can eliminate this? Can it make the ride comfort feel 'quite like new'?

2. Where is the best place to fix the interior (dashboard and door) assembly fit & finish to eradicate the noise? Can Proton SC do the job?


Thank you

1. Changing the absorbers will probably make the ride better especially if they're already very worn out.
2. Any workshop / accessory shop can do the job, but the job quality may not be satisfactory. If you're willing to pay a Proton SC to do the job, why not? The price may or will probably be on the higher side though, and there's no guarantee that they'll be better than the workshops / accessory shops around, but since it's an official / authorised SC there should be less risk of getting a shoddy job.

Just to add on, aside from absorbers, you may want to consider inspecting all the bushings of the car to see which is worn out and replace accordingly. This may reduce noise and/or improve your car's handling as well. Also consider replacing the rubber seals for the doors, and maybe if you have extra cash, send the car for soundproofing for the doors / floor pan ke whatever part which has the greatest source of noise.


Or just buy the sports car myvi / super car vios and settle, really.


Edit: About the "krak" sound, it may be related to your drum brakes. When was the last time you replaced the shoes? What about the brake fluid condition/level? I used to have a lot of sounds coming from the rear brakes when entering / alighting from the car, which I don't really know how it disappeared later on. Maybe it's cause I topped up the brake fluid, replaced it, or maybe it just decided to cabut.
