Recommended SC

1)Serdang SC - http://worldcarcare.com.my/WorldCarCare.html
Reasons: Best customer service in all reviews.

2) CoSE (beside Kesas) - Head towards Klang on Kesas and you will pass by the biggest Proton billboard you'll ever see. Thats the place.
Proton Center of Excellence (CoSE),
Jalan TP 5, Taman Perindustrian Sime Uep, 47600 Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
Tel: 03-80269333
Tel2: 03-80269167
Fax: 03-80269155
HQ, easy to claim warranty and reflash ECU. Have to make appointment b4 going there. Can bring own Lube

3) Juru SC (Penang) - Can bring own lube.

4) Trend point - Along Jalan Tun Razak. (Still under review, first review was bad, but a warranty claim experience after that shows that they're quite efficient and able to detect problems that even CoSE denies.)

Unrecommended SC (TRY TO AVOID AT ALL COST!)

1) Sin Siang Hin sdn. bhd. all Klang Valley branches - bad service and they whack ur car like they pay for petrol
2) Senaxis Sdn Bhd No. 50, Jalan SS26/ 11, Taman Mayang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, 47301 SELANGOR Tel: 012-3283123 Fax: 03-78048753

Just see the post of the new MMC Civic in Thailand at PaulTan. Ni a ma, Honda really short changed Asian. Practically the same thing with a bit of face lift. Not the massive improvement US Emergency MMC that noticeably improved on handling, braking strength, noise insulation (thicker glass as well), sportier front light, much better looking rear light, upgraded premium soft material on dashboard and doors, lowered sportier bonnet, altered less cluttered dashboard and direction, etc. All the improvement in US, only front grill being over. Figured since Asian did not complain, retained the flawed 9th Gen to lower the cost and covered the upgraded cost in US.

Guess even if I come into some $$$, I won't be upgrading to this generation of Civic liao. But then again, I really got no money to upgrade to this generation of Civic even if I want.

You're having a delusion you bought a conti kah ???

btw. If you soundproof until cannot hear outside or inside sound, that only means one thing. Go check your ENT doctor, you're deaf.

Soundproof my a$$. Better than PE and City but not that great. Conti's is the one to go for if you want a quiet ride.

Sound proofing superior than even my H-Line, not by much tho. Dashboard same same lar. Its the total insulation package that still beats PE by small margin.

Problem 1: Knocking sound when cornering on uneven surface coming from Front RHS
Causes: This is due to the power steering fluid delivery piping knocking against the metal pipe and the body underneath it as the uneven road causes it to twitch up and down.
OLD Pipe (left) vs New Pipe (right)

new SV car could have this problem eh? hmm.gif

From video seems like IAFM problem but not that severe. Or it could be acc belt. If IAFM problem you should see your FC increase.

few of my onlist sc are good, they are car repairing shop but gain the authorized license to service proton cars, so less problem compared to head brunch which just shaking their legs. they drive in my car to service in a very short time once i stated my problem at the counter. also, very good communication compared to head brunch which answering you " saya pun tak tao apa rosak"

i gonna drop by the shop again and ask them to diagnostic the problem for me.
I will never step into proton head brunch since many are complaining they're sucks at my hometown.

Normal service should be okay but asking them to like researching where and how to solve the noise need passion and it is very rare at workshop outside unless you're doing it yourself.
Headbranch just like any other workshop. What's good bout them is doing warranty claim which is fast.

hi guys

got a question.

planning to change my front brake pads and i called up a SC, they charge rm95 for genuine person front brake pad set.

however, i went to protonparts website and i saw the price as rm283.

what could cause such huge discrepancy?

No idea, but if you're interested to know, you can get better brake pads like the Bendix Metal King Titanium front brake pads for around RM100 ~ RM130 depending on who you're buying it from, and it is better than the stock pads and much needed for those who have a B-Line / M-Line Persona that has a weaker braking system than a H-Line Persona due to one or more downgraded braking component(s).

Q: Does Standard Line suffer from the same problem? hmm.gif
I assume that for Persona SVs the braking system is pretty much the same with what you get on a H-Line Persona/Elegance.

while flat road, the dashboard is back to silent or not obvious on the aircond plastic sound..............

anyone facing this problem before?

In my car its due to loss wires and rattling aircond wind shutter.

I tot Proton handling is the best of its class??? Itu accident, driver's problem, brake problem or tyres problem.

As for braking system, we still don't if SV is using brake pump similar to 1.6 H-Line or 1.3 saga type.

Hi sifus,

does Bendix Metal King Titanium brakes produce a lot of dust compared to ceramics or is it just better than stock brake pads?

any specific brand for ceramic brake pad recommended?

the stock brake pads really produces a lot of dust...

Bendix MKT does have quite a bit of dust.


Off-topic: Lol.. just now go pump petrol also can almost cari masalah doh.gif. At Bandar Utama there's this shell and petron side by side, and people normally go through the petron station to enter Shell if they want to use their BonusLink card and want to sayang their campro wub.gif or go in a circle route to reach there. I reached Petron and waited at the exit/entrance of Petron, definitely not blocking anyone and the road either, this passenger in a black vios drove out from Shell, stared at me for as long as I was in view and kept shaking his hand at me, all the while while his friend was busy exiting from the designated entrance to Shell. doh.gif

I mean come on la seriously, this sort of thing also want to blow out of proportion doh.gif. My DVR could capture the car and the hand gestures but not his face doh.gif.

Ok.. on a more serious note, I don't really know how it compares against most of the other cars. I just know that driving a Persona is very much to my liking. All I need is better tyres because the current one's sidewall softness memang not syiok at all. sleep.gif

How did you get those FC figures? What is your driving style and the type of traffic condition that you drive in most of the time? 9.0L/100KM seems kinda normal to me especially if you drive short distances / in the city or town a lot, maybe a slightly higher than the average but nothing to be worried about. I'm also suffering from the IAFM noise symptom since quite some time ago, and I don't see any difference to my fuel consumption nor the performance especially in the low rev range, though maybe it's just me being not sensitive enough.

Turn off everything in your car except the engine, then sit and listen quietly. Is there a knocking sound that seems to be coming from the right side of the dashboard? If yes, it's either the vacuum pump or the IAFM module (as I was told). Otherwise if it isn't, it could be the purge (EGR) valve on the left side of the car that is faulty and needs a replacement. I bought my replacement purge valve for between RM100 ~ RM120. I don't remember the exact price. If it's the IAFM module it costs between RM2xx (read this from somewhere, I think it's the first post of the thread) to RM3xx. I was quoted RM3xx for it from a spare parts shop but I didn't buy cause I thought I solved the problem by changing the purge valve until a few days later when the knocking sound became even louder and more noticeable. doh.gif

Anyway, your FC figure with 90% driving done in town seems pretty normal for the Persona. I always get a meter reading of over 10L/100KM if I reset the meter and do my driving mostly in town.

what i can confirm that, its confirm coming from right hand side. sometimes, as i the rev meter climbing up, the sound of the "tak tak" increases. I'm got my personal fomen to check and he says its fomen.. all i need now is SC to confirm so i can claim since still under warranty. some fellow personians in my hometown says, its not that sever, so no need worry or change. To me, i feel that, its a brand new car that's only 6 months old, and i'm paying monthly, it hurts and annoys when i feel that there is a prob with the car.. *sighs* i will get to know this Friday lo when go send for checkup

BTW, thanks bro for the tips, maybe can ask them check the purge cannister and vacuum pump one time biggrin.gif

I see. Push for the warranty claim if so. thumbup.gif If you still cannot claim, maybe try sending a message to Proton on facebook / we care i care ke apa to see if you can get resolved. This is a pretty well known issue (at least to Persona owners, mostly) so I don't see why should you be denied any replacement.

Hmmm. Not very clear about it, sorry. But I believe as long as it's an authorised service center/ Proton service center it can be done.

after ear testing, the sound i coming from the IAFM..,,my FC since i bought has been 9.0L/100km.. went to SC 1st time round, but they said it was characteristics of the car. i was like wtf, characteriestics?  mad.gif

so i change SC to Penang one instead of the one from kedah, in hopes that they would clarify and do something about it

It is very hard to pinpoint the sound from the IAFM with it in the engine bay and acoustic reflecting around. Your FC still okay. If mine is already 10-11L brows.gif
To hear whether is it IAFM must from the revving itself but from you vid it doesn't seems so. There are few other noise which could be similar to the IAFM sound and usually ppl mistaken with it with the IAFM break phobia. Other causes probably either the acc belt or the hydraulic lifter itself from using thinner lube. A serious IAFM issue's sound is very prominent and distinctive but from yours not so.

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Nov 12 2012, 08:27 AM)
From what I'm looking at, your car does not have an external fuel regulator at the fuel rail, it's an FLX. It is IAFM+, not IAFM. According to some senior member, IAFM+ were made stronger compare to old IAFM module that always picah doh.gif

IAFM rosak render the sound "tub tub tub tub tub" from the right side of the intake manifold, where the PURGE VALVE located.


The same car as above, after repaired the rosaked IAFM, only rendered the similar tepet sound like minor "tak tak tak tak tak" sound on the rocker cover.


A more effective way you can identify is:
user posted image

1) If can hear loud tak tak tak tak tak sound, at this point means the exhaust valve lifter bising, go claim warranty
2) If can hear loud tak tak tak tak tak sound, at this point means the intake valve lifter bising, go claim warranty
3) If can hear loud tub tub tub tub tub sound, at this point means the purge valve sudah koyak, go claim warranty

However, for 1 & 2 is insignificant. Replace or not replace does not really helps to eliminate the noise, its just the way how hydraulic valve lifter works. When enough lubricants, no noise. When not enough lubricant, especially cold start, aircon compressor kicks in, these are the time most car will have loud valve lifter noise. If you think your car is loud, try those Honda B16/B18 series engine, also not forget Plotong Pugra & Wigra 1.8 with 4G93 engine, their valve lifter is much louder than most yellow black diesel taxi. doh.gif

There are always some ppl who will attest to "smoothen" engine and performance of various snake oil. The worst fear of engine oil becoming sludge seems to appear for X1R, an "authorised" snake oil that was added due to political and cronyism in Proton. Other established manufacturers always recommended NOT to any performance boosters as they have no way of knowing what chemical reaction of the additional oil will do the any attested and balanced engine oil.

Sludging and engine miniscule damage are the worst case scenarios of these oils. It seems Proton has officially approved the usage of such oil without thorough research as do other established car manufacturer.

That means Proton have to design the engine to auto-desludge so that it works with X1R. X1R will volunteer to pay for the re-design cost.

I think magna crap no side effect wan, only plain useless. Put there for show so that it can show a bit of metal sticking in the filter. But then again, without magnacrap, it will still stuck in the filter.

Engine oil talk

Fubar20 TitanRev

I know you guys have your idea on how motor oil benefit the car. Here's my piece to chip in despite I'm not particular and have very little knowledge on engine oil. I've been driving several years, changing engine oil almost every 3 month, sometimes twice when I hit 3000 miles too soon. Due to cost of motor oil start increasing, I found I'm paying more and more on the vehicle maintenance, so I start to dig more info from magician. Helping to overhaul engine benefit the most in terms of technical knowledge and understand how motor oil affect engine performance.

Rule of thumb, buy engine oil with API stamp. Here's a link, please download and print a copy put inside your car. The next time when you wanna purchase motor oil, make sure you read the ratings whether its SN/SJ/SM/SL.

http://www.api.org/certifications/engineoi...2010_120210.pdf

With API ratings, you'll get an idea how these engine oil comply to your power unit. Your motor vehicle rely on the chemical inside the motor oil to survive friction. The viscosity only meant very little, but the API rating worth the most. Hence, when you use cap ayam motor oil, despite they put down 10w60, that does not mean the molecule can stand your car's 10.1:1 compressrion ratio with 400'c extreme heat during the ignition. Be it 10w100, it doesn't make any difference when the oil being channeled into the combustion chamber.

However, don't take my word as a whole. The viscosity does yield it's importance. For instance 10w40 multi-visco simply means 10 comes suffixed with W, meaning WINTER(not weight/watt as claim by others) for cold start viscosity. The 40 after W is hot viscosity. The front winter denote has lower figure, meaning the liquid has lower "beku" point. Sorry ran out of vocabulary. The hot visco higher denote a higher boiling point. You don't want oil to boil, just like your mommy cooking in the kitchen.

I've seen many horrible incident's while helping customer to do engine overhauling. Unsurprisingly, most of them having problem with their motor, they tend to miss their oil change quite often, sometimes up to few years did not change oil at all. Before dismantle an engine for overhaul, as I loosen the oil sum nut, I'll be extremely careful to not let oil spill on my hand. These burnt oil can irritate my skin and cause allergy. However, most of the time after the sum nut being pull off, there aren't any oil drip out. Even if there is, very little and very thick. Got once we unable to drain anything out from the sum, because those oil already turned grease. Can imagine how not to jammed the pistons?

Thinner hot viscosity oil does not mean you have less chance building up sludge, infact it's the opposite. Otften I ask magician why not fully synthetic as those expansive oil usually added cleaning agent, can last up to 6000 miles. The answer is simple, recycle the same oil in the engine can only make those oil turn into sludge. Debris and dirt to have more opportunity to form a bigger object between molecule, hence sludge start to build.

user posted image

I used to worship 76 racing motor oil 10w40 for NASCAR, until my car start to emit white smoke and finally ended up with a full overhaul. Again, I did the overhaul by myself with assistance of magician to find that not much sludge built up, but the piston ring has been fully grounded off. Lesson learned as magician explain, usually racing motor oil does meant for racing. Those oil wouldn't last more than few thousand miles as it degrade faster than normal oil from the market. The dangerous part is, motor oil should form a film of coating on engine parts, but the degraded oil does not. It will be fully drained to the sump. Believe it or not, your engine life were shorten each time you crank start it, not when you taking it to the redline(provided the redline figure is properly balanced on your crankcase).

From the above little knowledge I gained from magician, I've been practicing frequent oil change. For your information, VTEC oil is rated SAE10w30 have no problem running at 8krpm.

In undocumented cases, cars running on NGV (BLM taxi primarily) also suffers from heavy sludge build up after using X1R.

Terrible sludge edi build up in turbocharged engine, i wonder how it works in the "NASA rocket" as their advertisement claimed. laugh.gif

for NA engine it is still OK. But better just avoid it all together.

for CFE engine, since it is turbocharged, the temperature inside gets hotter than usual NA engine, hence the heat accelerated the breakdown of X1R and that turns into massive pile of sludge.

How did you get those FC figures? What is your driving style and the type of traffic condition that you drive in most of the time? 9.0L/100KM seems kinda normal to me especially if you drive short distances / in the city or town a lot, maybe a slightly higher than the average but nothing to be worried about. I'm also suffering from the IAFM noise symptom since quite some time ago, and I don't see any difference to my fuel consumption nor the performance especially in the low rev range, though maybe it's just me being not sensitive enough.

thanks for sharing, great to read such informative article.
seems turbocharged vehicle needs great engine oil to cope with higher temperature, i guess i would not touch turbo car in near soon as i can only afford to use cheap mineral/semi-syn oil. if need performance car i will go for old junkie v6/i6, the engine note is brows.gif irresistible.

The fuel filter? It's some metal shaped like an oil filter but with small tubes leading out at each end. It's located under the rear right of the car and is suggested by Proton to be replaced every 60,000KM.

What? sleep.gif "Jangan buat kerata kalau tak boleh" - Mr Chin.

I would suggest that you add some engine oil additives like the Ceratec, and maybe the NanoTech powder thing (I haven't tried this one), and maybe change to some oil that allows for smooth revving. Maybe change the ATF (if you're driving an Auto) too to some premium fluid. I think you will like it even better. Everything feels very smooth now especially when it's accelerating. The loudness is still there though from revving over 4K RPM, but much more reduced compared to last time.

i think this is very wrong for replying after so.............long.
hmm, the previous fc yes, i am very very very super light foot because very scared of the damage i cause if i heavy foot.
but my trip is much lesser now. I do feel the car not getting the low end torque in 4th gear like it have last time.
but otherwise is still good. which means my city driving actually not that affected. just that I am a frequent highway.
now I had to dump my persona at home. Satu minggu jalan dua hari coz I dun have additional budget to spend on to repair the car or to change car now.
Thx god I am blessed, I am given a toyota to drive now. So this solve a lot of my problem.
Btw, you may look at my fc figures, its not that badly damaged I assume. maybe just a bit.
Thanks for telling me about it if not I think I will still be driving with it and damaging my gearbox further.
I am changing my oil again soon even though it only run less than 10k km. I will see if there is any abnormal color or sludge by then.

Hi Bro ,

Here how it happen on my Day 3 persona SV.
I was parking at the road side n getting off my car for a quick smoke . The weather at the moment is raining .

I notice there was mist( water leak in) caught inside my headlamp ( passenger side) , the other one is ok (driver side).
So damn first of thought , this is abnormal for a new car man.if it is normal , it should be happen on both of the headlight under same condition , environment . Right ?!
At the moment , I not yet turn on the light yet.( late evening)

The mist gone while I finally reach home , light on for 2 hours under small rain during night time while driven home.

This really piss me off . Shock me n drain my new car mood sad.gif

Mind to share if any of you have this experience on yr persona previously ??
Pls guide me how to make a complain to which branch SC(KL area) to get this problem solved.

Other minor problem detected ,
- Stock viper didn't vipe evenly ( not expecting much )
- dusty stock brake pad, noisy brake sound at low speed.
-light vibrating during low speed
- typical heavy car handle , and door hardly closed when push.
- some noise on the radio transmit( hopefully , not antenna wiring problem)

Hi Bro ,

Here how it happen on my Day 3 persona SV.
I was parking at the road side n getting off my car for a quick smoke . The weather at the moment is raining .

I notice there was mist( water leak in) caught inside my headlamp ( passenger side) , the other one is ok (driver side).
So damn first of thought , this is abnormal for a new car man.if it is normal , it should be happen on both of the headlight under same condition , environment . Right ?!

Quite hard to proof unless it happen when you spray some water on it.
Just give them a call and ask for advice.
Other minor thing are just normal. Either change the part (wiper, brake pads) or live with it.

What? sleep.gif "Jangan buat kerata kalau tak boleh" - Mr Chin.

I would suggest that you add some engine oil additives like the Ceratec, and maybe the NanoTech powder thing (I haven't tried this one), and maybe change to some oil that allows for smooth revving. Maybe change the ATF (if you're driving an Auto) too to some premium fluid. I think you will like it even better. Everything feels very smooth now especially when it's accelerating. The loudness is still there though from revving over 4K RPM, but much more reduced compared to last time.

You still suggest ppl to add 3rd party addictives to engine oil kah? If addictives is powder based, even worse, coz that means solvent or not, the powder might form sludge later on. Although I heard ceratec works, its long term effect on engine is still unknown. I would rather the owner change to a better quality engine oil rather than add any 3rd party addictives.

Ask for advise. Light vibrating? How? Where? Whole car?
Ask any SC to readjust the door.

Go to Proton's Centre of Excellence to make all the claims. I believe they should honor all the claims above since your car is still new. If not maybe make noise on Proton's facebook page like some guy in this forum until they decide to help you.

You mean you still considering an addictive that are already proven to cause sludge. Although the turbo runs at higher temp, it is not very much higher than our high speed ride as the temp generated is still a daily non racing engine temp. A good engine semi can withstand that temp without sludging but this addictive cannot, still want to trust it?

Can any owner check where this 2nd clear tube outlet from the radiator water reserve container goes to? Is it going directly out to the ground floor as nothing is connected at the end of the clear tube? Found the clear tube end facing towards the metal comp of the car after car repair. Adjusted the tube to face directly down towards the ground if waters comes out of it. Is it correct?

Both looks normal to me. The plug for mine with a lot of wires going out of it is located much lower than that though, but if I remember correctly it's also not covered by any tape or anything.

Thanks suspected that. When the car come back the end of the clear tube are facing into the side metal components, meaning if water comes out, it will flow into the car body instead. I have to adjust it myself back to the current position.

To be honest, there isn't really much noise issues in mine to begin with. There are three different noise sources that plagues my car at the moment, but out of three only one of them occurs as long as the air-cond is on, and it's the mid right vent that goes kring-kring softly at certain positions. The other two occasional noise are the brake pedal klok-klok over uneven surface like the ramps at car-parks, and the board that holds the rear speakers that goes "rrrrrrrr" when the weather is cold outside.

Total cost of the car repair is abt RM2.5k including bonnet, bumper, grill, radiator and components, along with both headlamp (not even scratch but kaki patah, so replaced full set, shiny and clear...haha). They have to replace the front skirt themselves as they damage it while towing (I've insisted replacement coz it shows miniscule hairline crack).

Overall, the paint of bonnet ok but the bumper not totally smooth on certain area. Check my LCP, VS and GC still there. Those rubbers around the bonnet and insulator still there. They wash my car before I take, so seems ok. RM2.5 + appx BMW's RM2K or more, ok...worth to burn my 55% NCD. If below 3K, I "sit tai pun" on the NCD.

Now just hope the new original radiator performing without leaking.

Err....don't know. Assume original coz insurance says have to within 5 years and the workshop is really huge with a hundred or so repair cars from Mercedes to Nissan sunny. Specialize only in insurance repair and panel for all insurances (since that is their only business). Frankly, if not original also I don't know coz I really can't see where the brand is printed in the old and new radiator.

Itu water, I don't think original. You go check pipe to see original meh....only concern the big item.

I doubt cost is 1K as it replace a newly painted metalic bonnet, bumper, grill and especially include 2 brand new light. I believe that alone have already exceeded 1K. A new radiator with attached accs, knocking (front firewall behind grill bend in), don't know how much.

They declare 2.8K. Avg tow fee from KL to Klang is abt RM250 especially on midnight. A runner with a separate car pick me up in KL to my home in Klang at 3am. So it should be abt RM300++ for transportation. So if we do outside (also have to include other workshop profit margin, claim fee). Should be at least RM1.5K to 2K altogether excluding RM300+ towing services and home transport.

Why not edar SC? Its midnight, the insurance emergency line cannot confirm if Edar is a panel (more like call center for multiple insurance company), so cannot tow there. Only can tow to panel and at midnight, I takda choice coz not sure edar panel or not, so no tow truck to call. It seems its the panel tow truck, the insurance tak da tow truck. U think edar open midnite to send tow truck to me kah. By the time, everything settles, its over 3am. Also I confused on the insurance company, tot AIG, so deal everything with AIG insurance panel. Turned out its Tokio Marine (all my other now AIG) and luckily this AIG panel are panel with ALL insurance company since they only deal with insurance repair and non others.

btw. nowadays, insurance adjuster a bit strict liao, so cannot simply claim unless the item is truly broken thus the workshop replaced the front skirt for me on their own since no pecah, they cannot claim (saw the list, not include skirt and saw the photo before repaint, its a new skirt unpainted then), my seriously scratch logo also they don't allow to replace coz tak pecah.

No.....unless you got a darn bloody ugly mod or the mod you install damaged the car in some way. Otherwise, they just take the "extra mod" from you at no additional cost to them thus its your lost. Thus its better to demod and sell those items yourself. For foam, I'm unsure, coz for PE, the added weight really affect your car performance.

Can any owner check where this 2nd clear tube outlet from the radiator water reserve container goes to? Is it going directly out to the ground floor as nothing is connected at the end of the clear tube? Found the clear tube end facing towards the metal comp of the car after car repair. Adjusted the tube to face directly down towards the ground if waters comes out of it. Is it correct?

is normal coz some people dunno for what reason fill their water lvl to max.

hmm.gif. Well, so far my Persona has already run on the Petro Canada DuraDrive MV ATF for about 4,000+- KM with a mixture of the Petro Canada D3M ATF (dexron 3) since January. No problems so far. Still smooth as it was on day one even with all the full throttle trashing sometimes, though I feel like replacing the ATF with another 4L of the DuraDrive again since the last change involved flushing with 6 litres of D3M and 6 litres of DuraDrive MV, so it's not completely DuraDrive MV only.

Because the Macampro IAFM 1.6L engine is casted using a stone furnace due to the lack of proper facilities as there aren't enough R&D funds (that's why proton asked for 3billion recently), therefore the end result is that the weight of the engine is very heavy. Without it the Persona is actually as light as a kancil icon_rolleyes.gif.

Yup, it's untrue.

Why is the Vios lighter? I don't know. But even after debunking my claims on how heavy the campro is, and after removing the campro engine the car will still probably be heavier/slightly heavier than a Vios unless the engine's weight is more than 200KG. Even so, if you remove the engine in a Vios, it'll probably still be lighter than a Persona without an engine. So eliminating that factor, it probably can be assumed that the panels are thicker, body is heavier due to thicker /heavier material and et cetera. I don't think soundproofing would be a significant factor here since the Persona's soundproofing probably isn't too heavy to begin with anyway.

Hi sifus, maaf noobie tumpang bertanya. I just lost my spare key (original key already a year ago) and can't access my car anymore. I call one in JB service center they said it cost around RM500 something to make new key + coding + new alarm system, is it true? Is it really necessary to change the whole alarm system also? Because previously call another service center they say probably RM250++ since got one customer facing same problem but withh Exora..mohon pencerahan, thanks~

Ya, I was thinking the same. The avg price for H-Line 2011 model is abt 35K. I'm a 2011 H-Line owner too. Maybe he was quoted the b-line pricing.

1. Find an SA
2. Go to showroom, meet up, ask for discounts and promo
3. Everything ok, pay partial/full downpayment
4. Give 3 months payslip and photocopy IC
5. Bank will contact you and do verification
6. Few days later, bank will call saying loan approved/not
7. SA will call to notify you on your allocation and tentative delivery date
8. Choose a number plate
9. SA will give you your loan docs to sign, pay remaining downpayment if not, give 2nd driver for insurance if needed
10. Wait for car smile.gif

Actually that applies to all new cars regardless of makes. The worse is the Korean marquee. Although improve massively both on tech, specs and reliability, the perception of Malaysian car buyers still render the Korean 2nd hand market almost without value.

The higher the car price, the worse the price drop. That's why cheap car for high mileage travel will ends up worth it when compared with the much higher price ones. (That's why my Honda become weekend car, while PE, high mileage travel).

Tipu punya. Maybe full tank 100% highway drive, no brakes, no air-cond, etc.

In real life driving, my vtec city 2006 with CVT tranny usually achieve 15+km/l with a 60/40 highway city drive. Now my wife driving it 80% city drive abt 11-12+km/l.

The last time iDSI with a CVT tranny achieve abt 17km/l with realistic drive. I doubt the FC of current more efficient iVtec engine BUT with a conventional tranny can best a CVT tranny drive of the older city. The old iDsi does achieve an 21km/l during a challenge drive with air-cond off, 80% highway, very minimum braking and mostly gliding (not realistic real life everyday driving).

btw. I always doubt the accuracy of stock meter of any car. Fuel pump avg is the most accurate indicator.

Hi guys,

I was driving my persona to genting,n while driving up,when I slow down for the bumper,the engine suddenly off.this occurred 3 times,all during the slow down on bumper. Besides that,once I parked my car n turn off the engine,it seems that the engine din really turn off n it off after 30 sec - 1 min. What could be the problem?

I'm driving a sv n the car is 2 months old,an already went through the first service.

Itu meter tipu punya. I usually still get 7+/100km but when calculate thru averaging fuel pump vs km travelled (over a few full refills), it comes to at least 8+.

Should be fairly cheap since replacing brake pads is one of the easiest job to do. hmm.gif

The garage sales section has the Best form / Ceramic Nao thing for sale for about RM60 ~ Rm80 a pair for the Persona. Otherwise if you want, you could try to source for the Bendix Ceramic pads, which I suppose are most probably sold by the people who carries Bendix products as well, but those are probably much more expensive.

I personally think that the gearbox works very well if you know how to play around with the position of the throttle, although sometimes it can be annoying when it registers a light push as a heavy push and the car jolts forward before settling down to the acceleration pace I want.

between saga 4AT and persona 4AT, I'd take persona 4AT anytime. Yes, it is eager to downshift but that make use of the campro's powerband more efficiently (from a I-dont-give-a-damn-on-FC perspective).

bigger SC or smaller SC no problem. it's the consumers right. we ourselves need to be educated.
richfag spotted didn't care about the add-on.
ONLY engine oil, oil filter and oil gasket drain plug.
so u didn't care if u have to paid higher than actual supposedly one?

u want fuel injector cleaner, just pump Caltex with Techron. flex.gif better, pump ron97.

why try to avoid X1R or any in your engine:

No need to doubt. There is no need for treatment, addictive, whatsoever especially for a new car. Even a 5 years old car no need treatment. My cars even over 10 years never have any "treatment". It works just fine as long as you keep to the maintenance schedule (unless you got a lemon car like our thrown from Penang bridge punya car owner).

btw. I don't consider throttle cleaning, decarbonizing, etc as treatment. Those are workmanship, not just "liquid" treatment items. These might be necessary after driving cars for years and those carbon, etc accumulated depending on driving style and environment.

Break in doesn't mean drive like a snail. Just drive like casual weekend driver. Don't purposely slam on the pedal. You can still do 120kmh, what matter is it take how long to reach 120 from 0.

Old skol logic is, when engine newly fitted, there's micron difference on each cylinder that cramp up with piston ring. In order to fit in piston, the ring will have to be compressed, after fit in it will expand and hold on the engine block with minimal tolerance. Every combustion cycle, these piston rings will grind through the block inner bore(when piston going up & down). Your dad will ask you to drive 80 bcoz he think you drive too fast. This is a good chance to scare you and put a speed limit on your head. Your SA ask you to drive 80, so you won't complain drink fuel like water! New car so tight, sure will gazzle more fuel geh. If sumore drive like a muoron, sure can go 30cent/km.

Therefore, pushing too much on a newly assembled engine can greatly increased wear & tear. Break in period is a grind in process. Drive below 80 meaning you're shaping your engine to drive below 80 in future! When you shape your engine, you shape it into what you want it to be. Like when you crafting a wooden goose, you don't use a saw to craft although its fast(slam on full throttle to get to 120kmh), instead you'll be using a crafting tool to slowly grind the edge to achieve smooth and curvy surface(gradually increase speed to 120kmh instead).

Hope this explain well.

the right term is "varying"

keep your rpm at different point at different interval. combination of slow driving, cruse driving, fast driving and moronic driving. smile.gif

1K service is very important.

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jan 23 2013, 10:57 AM)
Cum listen listen listen,

Plotong set 1k, 5k & 10k free servis is meant for furture warranty purposes. Its not about void or no void warranty, is about maintain the new engine clean to avoid FUTURE complication. Why 1k servis? Its bcoz all engine parts are new, during this run in period, there will be lots of grinding inside the engine, as metal surface rubbing happened, expect metal dust mixed in the engine oil(so as gear oil). So, after 1k run in period your oil filter will be suckalot with metal dust liao hence the 1k servis is applied. 5k will be the same reason, so as 10k. Maintain engine cleaniness in the early stage can avoid many complication in future, such as hutan bakar white smoke/black smoke.

For me, I dun really care whether its semi synthetic or fully synthetic. Avoid metal dust is more critical whistling.gif its not wrong to say synthetic oil can last 10k, the thing is it will be too dirty. mellow.gif

For what?  whistling.gif

I tot so too.....initially. For those who drive a moderately affordable car, that is the idea (takut scratch here, bang there).

The thing is when you're rich enuf to buy expensive car, chances are you can afford to scratch here and bang there. I already seen so many richer buggers, drive nice car, but don't really take care of it, coz chances are they're gonna change car after 3 to 5 years.

Unfortunately for middle/lower income ppl like me, even PE also takut scratch here bang there coz this car gonna stay with me for umpteenth years. When younger, that is not my thinking but at my age, got extra money (for limited cash ppl), masuk rumah, masuk saving, masuk isteri, masuk anak, masuk cheapo mistress ala girlfriend, not enuf to upgrade car anymore.

Drive a sh!t car and own the road, or own an expensib car but drive like a pu$$y? whistling.gif
You come ambang botanic klang, these ppl drive expensive car and drive like gangster coz they got so many expensive cars at home...

Doesn't really matter, just drive. Makesure you don't skip the 1k service will do. The problem with breaking in is always about how much debris you shred off from the new engine, and to drain those metal debris out before it start to grind the internals.

It is all depends on the perception of the guy towards "clubbing".

For me, I dont think going to a club for birthday celebration purpose is wrong (unless the friends are mostly consist of lala guys lol). Apatah lagi getting raped. Hence I would care her more, and of course want her to take this as a lesson.

But different story la if she go celebrate for a guy's birthday alone without other friends... that is spanar lol

Head gasket changed coz got licking at engine head. Mayb coz i use it daily driving 110kmh.

Brakedisc is wear n tear. Mine was nipis edy..eaten by perf brake pads..
*
hmm, mind to know what brand of performance brake pad you using?
coz mine is still fine till now. i am using rapid stop for front and ultrex for the rear.
i am also very frequent highway speed so I dun think is because of that you got leaking. normally leaking should be due to you high rev or maybe can say is somehow considered wear and tear.

0k - 20k mileage, proton stock bpad. 20k - 65k , used rapid stop. 65k - 92k normal pad mintye i think (still got half).
92k found my discs were like this ][ so i bought brembo standard discs together with pads (wanted to feel like fresh sweat.gif )
mine is b-line & non-sv so no rear disc.

n yea i consider its wear n tear, i rev smtimes only when goin back to hometown n karak highway. max rev rpm 5.5k. but going work daily max rev 4k rpm which i dunt think it is high for macam pro engine.
also travelled alot. s'ngor to south, north, north east (wife's kampung) & east (my kampung) of pen msia. even reached songkhla.

i see. maybe no rear disc lead to more wear and tear to the front disc. not really sure. but my disc brake from 0k mileage use until 40k. if rev in city until 4k can understand. highway if top gear at 4k means 150kmh. also, you are having LCP and still need to rev so high meh?
dun really matter of your max rev how much. is the frequent rev you are in. if i sometimes rev redline but most of the time low rev, i assume those always rev high will have higher wear. but always drive below 2.5k rpm.

had this "rubber" noise, same position as urs, i thnk when ma car reached 30k km till now. but it occurs only when driving slow on offroad/jalan tanah especially during hot weather. sc couldnt find the cause so i jst ignore it as long as the sound isnt very noticeable.

How does the sound sound like? Metal sound? Eee ek? I solved mine very recently after I found out how to remove the rear seats. I also settled the vibrating speaker board at the same time. Now no more metal sound when pressing against the rear seat, but not so sure if the board's vibrating sound is gone or not since it normally happens on a cold day.

Skimming price RM90? Better add on money to get a brand new set of front rotors. It's not worth skimming.

last time is both rear door, then both front door and now left driver side door..

Bosch brake rotors are about RM150 ~ RM200 per front set. I see that the same seller (airline) also sells Bosch brake rotors for RM180 for the Persona. If muslayer is around, maybe you can contact him to get those Brembo rotors for RM140 only from his spare parts shop. I've done brake rotors skimming before for about RM70. Not really worth it as it solved the uneven surface of the rotors for a while only before it came back, plus it's thinner now.

For the leaking issue, have you checked the weather sheet for your doors? They need to be stuck onto the door well to prevent water from coming in. If they are, maybe the source is the clip's hole, which you can solve by pushing and sticking some book cover plastic or something around the hole that the door panel's clips goes through. I did that quite long ago and till this date I haven't detect any water leakage into the car, although it my be because the amount is smaller now and that they're being absorbed completely by the soundproofing material on the door's panel.

if you getting original proton set outside is around Rm200 only. and its new and thick. not worth getting it skimmed.
if your car does not come with all 4 disc brake and you have high demand on brake maybe this is the time to upgrade also.
a good brand performance rotor can be around Rm450 i suppose. Also for brake pad, price, brand, and performance are sometime not connected well.
Some high price good brand but no performance, some no brand but high price high performance, some seek a balance in between.
Rm160 should be able to get you high temperature pad of at least 550'c.

How does the sound sound like? Metal sound? Eee ek? I solved mine very recently after I found out how to remove the rear seats. I also settled the vibrating speaker board at the same time. Now no more metal sound when pressing against the rear seat, but not so sure if the board's vibrating sound is gone or not since it normally happens on a cold day.

its not the speaker board..
i have experience with the former TS, its shud be the third brake light casing hit the rear windscreen..
mine happened during cold day also...

normally how long the disc rotor can last long? if i just change the brake pad only, anything will happen? example, the new brake pad will fast finished?

i use butyl windscreen sealant to seal it. i think i need to replace the weather sheet ady.. the original weather sheet should be got a lot oil and dust and make the butyl sealant not sticky anymore.

Don't know how long can it last for. I remember some writing on the internet that it should be changed after about 3 changes of brake pads or something but I'm not sure. I guess the easiest way to tell when it's time for a replacement is to get the width of the rotors measured.

Get a second opinion from another shop. Last time I send Myvi to do alignment at tayar shop, the tayar man tell me need to replace brake pad, very thin liao, I said no because I can tell still got quite a lot of pad left. Later I service at SC, ask the technician to inspect, he also confirm still in good condition. Those ranjiao tayar man wanna con us oni.

If your brake pedal vibrate hard during braking, then you'll have to skim or replace your discs. Otherwise no need.

my front discs were changed after 92k mileage.. it was already like ][ . n i used rapidstop pads only lasted for abt 50k.
in my opinion, it depends on how hard n frequent u brake daily.. mine is b-line so the force for front brake will eat up the discs. plus, some performance pads (hard ones) might also eaten up ur discs.

other than feeling the brake by pressing the brake pedal, theres also another way to detect,
when i do balancing, thts when i get to look at my discs n pads. i also dirt ma hands by touch n feel the discs n pads. thts how i no when they need to b replaced.

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...

Hi I need advice from sifus here. biggrin.gif

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.

A set of mid range tyres will probably cost you from RM900 and above, but there ones that are below RM200 per piece. I don't really know what tyre shops are recommended around PJ, and don't have any to recommend either. But I would suggest that you avoid the Continental tyre shop at Damansara Jaya. I just ask for the manufacturing date of the tyres I was buying and the manager is already unhappy. He thought that I don't understand chinese / cantonese so he told his colleague that the customer is duo si. If you are able to drive all the way to Jalan Ipoh, why don't you pay a visit to Kean Lee Hin nestum? I believe that his service will be very satisfactory judging from the response of the forum members.

Yeah I haven't checked the rear drums, although I've skimmed front dics & changed brakes twice. Brake fluid is sufficient. The noise doesn't bother me much as it happen during entering/alighting from the car. Its the dashboard sound that is irritating.

Well, at least my Persona's comfort is better than Myvi with same mileage. Myvi with that mileage usually in dire need of absorber change (based on driving 4 different old myvis).

Thanks for the advice smile.gif

How high do you usually pull the handbrake lever to? I normally pull mine to the max if it's on a slope, or about half of max or less if it's on relatively flat ground. I also let my car roll front / backwards with the handbrake on after parking before engaging the parking brake to prevent the parking brakes from being the one that holds the car still. That was a long time ago though, and I no longer put the car into P. I just put it in N, pull the handbrake, let it move until it stops and then alight from the car.

Exactly. The Persona has the cheapest ownership cost, and yet is more fun to drive, and even more comfortable than the RM115K Honda Civic. The Japanese B-segments (City, Vios, Almera) has no match for Persona in terms of continental solid ride & handling balance. I recently owned Almera, and despite its smoothness, it cannot match Persona's pure driving fun & joy. Againts the C-segment below RM120K, only its sophisticated sibling, the Preve can beat its 'fun to drive' factor (by a small margin). Meanwhile, despite the Altis and Sylphy has better comfort, their handling & steering feel is no-where to match the Persona. It is proven reliable despite there are quite a number of lemons out there. My father in-law has one that clocked nearly 200K km, and yet it rides comfortable with no major problems and never broke down whether on garage or middle of the road.

The Persona's archilles heel remain its mediocre interior fit and finish quality, less than remarkable engine refinement and squeaky sounds inside the cabin.

I usually set to P, when the car really stops and not moving anymore. After that I pull the handbrake at 2/3 capacity (2 clicks I think). Only full when on a slope.

Why don't you try pulling the handbrake first then shift to P when the car has stopped moving with only the handbrake on? I believe that may very well be the cause of the krak ehh em sound when you get in or out of the car. My abah punya D segment also got this sort of sound (emmm sound) from the rear brakes when alighting / entering the car with that sort of parking technique.

I agree that the car is very nice to drive. How it compares to the cars you have mentioned, I don't know except for the Almera. Quiet? Yes. Smooth? Hmmm I guess. Steering feel? Very inaccurate, light and the steering correction to center is so strong it's unpleasant.

Edit: What about armadasaxon's opinion? cool2.gif I hear that the new Honda City stops and goes like the wind and the new Altis is amazing. icon_idea.gif

SV user here... smile.gif

Nothing much to say. Very good car except minor hiccups.

Handling is top-notch, more so with the ARB in front. My family owns another Persona but the SV handles slightly better than the other Persona thanks to the addition of ARB.

Greatest bang for your bucks...
