Hi all, today I notice something when using my AXIA to fetch full passengers (5 people in total).

I (alone) parked the car at the car park, which on a little slope. I pull the handbrake, left off the foot brake,make sure the car is not moving,then put the gear to P.

Then on the second day, we (5 people) sit inside the car. After I start the engine, and try to pull the gear from P to N, I realize it is very heavy than usual, and there is a sound of something release or lock when move the gear to N. The handbrake still engaged.

Then I do some experience on the same car park. If I put gear to P with 1 person inside the car, and the next time I move the gear from P to N with also 1 person inside car, there no such issue.

Hope my story is not confusing.. anyone experience the same thing before ?

And when you start your car on the morning, most of the time the temperature light will be lite on with blue light. I have checked the manual, if blue light means the engine coolant fluid is cool.

Did you all wait the coolant fluid to normal temperature and the light goes off before start driving ? I try waited sometime when I am not rushing, I not even turned on the AC. It will take few minutes, sometimes it is kinda long especially when you are rushing.

Should I wait every time? Is it bad for the engine if the coolant fluid is still very cool ?

If it is not going to be your primary car, then I think G spec is good enough.

If it is primary car, taking the Adv will be better as it is just 2k diff than SE. Leather seats and steering, steering button and touchscreen HU are definitely worth more than 2k upgrade.

For me, I took G because due to budget and I don't quite like the SE / Adv front bumper design. I have to sacrifice ABS and EBD. Like some have said, if there is a spec between G and SE, which is G + ABS & EBD, many of the G Auto will choose this spec.

Afterall, Axia is a nice car, and definitely worth the price no matter which spec you choose

My FC for long jounery (KL to Penang) : 20.5 KM/l

Speed wss average around 90-100km/h

My so far highest amout of refuel is 25 litre. This was on the day I collect my car. The range left i remeber is 2km and single bar. I can't remember if the bar is blinking.

Normally I go refuel on when 3 bars left. It is my habit never go to last bar as I feel the car is kind underpower when fuel is low. After full tank, I can feel the car is more responsive

How is Cameron now? I always wanted to visit there again but very sad when heard about te landslide and over-developement at there. Coupled with recent rainy season, I hope Cameron still ok to visit.

G or SE/Adv depends on yor likings and budget.

I was choosing between MT and AT as well last time, and I never regret choose AT, instead I am so relief that I choose AT as I drive in city daily. AT can go uphil as MT too, you just need to put the gear to L2 or L3.

Wanna get the 4 ini 1 brake locks thingy too since my gf always nag me that I didn't lock the doors. I am too not sure why so many times I forgot to lock the door. If I drive my old car, I always lock my door once i get in with my elbow (you know those old type door locks ).. but when driving AXIA, I always forgot

Is it really no wire cutting require ? true Plug and Plug ?

4 in 1 is it :

-Double Signal When Door Is open
-With alarm buzzer for alarming & disarming vehicle
-Side mirror auto fold when vehicle is lock & vice versa
-Door Lock When Pressing Brake Pedals & vice versa

Question :

1) When I switch off engine, door will auto unlock as well ?
2) Can I still fold the side mirror manually anytime by pressing the button as before ? Eg. sometimes I park at roadside and waiting inside car, I will fold the mirrors if the road is very narrow.

Thanks for the assurance Will try get it install and try it out




very interesting question ! My guess is the side mirror will still be folded..haha

but i think one should not really park in such parking tight lot unless there is no choice

Which brand & types of petrol you all using ?

I am using Shell 97 previously, last week I go try Caltex 97 (yes ppl say good petrol to clean the engine), I can feel the car engine rattling when going up hill slope in 1st and 2nd gear. And the smoke coming out when using Caltex is kinda smelly (engine cleaning in process ??) compared to Shell.

After that I jump back the Shell 97, seriously there is no rattling noise, on the same road, same condition.

Just now I read in other Axia forum, say that the RPM is higher when using Caltex.

Anyone using Caltex as well ?

Hi, my Axia has this "Tik..Tik..Tik.." sound from the front everytime I switch off engine after driving. Thought it was the air cond water, but it is not. The sound goes away after awhile engine is cooled down. Anyone the same?

Btw, the aircond water is dripping into the metal / wheel arm. Although it should have anti-rust painted, buy should we extend the pipe so it drips directly to floor?

To anyone who can't search it, here is the FB group direct link that flyingsnakey has created :

The Midnight blue looks nice too.. G Spec and add it with spoiler is nice.

actually all G-spec colors after + spoiler, became very nice

Perodua should seriously consider give G-Spec a spoiler.

I think we shouldn't change the engine oil on 5k. I also read an article before in somewhere, it says that most new engine oil is on best performance after 4k km, but many people change it at 5k km, so it is kinda waste. Accordingly to the article, engine oil needs break in too.

It is 5k or 3months, whichever comes first. So for your case is 3months, you need to send it for inspection. No oil change though for this time.

Just installed the famous 4 in 1 thingy to my Axia last weekend. Bought it from Jack , Cooz auto https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3454419

Very good seller provided me the guide to install it. To those who wish to DIY and experience more with your car, can try it. Make sure you get the right spec. The brake socket for G spec and SE/Adv are different as I know.

Installation is pretty simple. The door receiver module is behind the glove box, the brake and side mirror switches are on the driver side, behind the small compartment box.

Take out the glove box, locate the door receiver module, it is hidden at the top there.
(The glove box is abit hard to remove, need to use some gentle force here, but make sure not to break anything. ).



Plug out the existing plug, and plug in the 4in1 wires. The plugs are fool-proof so it can only be plugged one side, you can't go wrong there. Plugs everything and you are good to go.

Immediately you will hear the tick-tok-tick-tok signal sound, as your door is open, this 4 in 1 includes the hazards lights double signal when door is open, it will only blinks for 20 seconds, after that it will stop. Which is a very considerate feature, as nobody would like their car tick-tok-tick-tok forever right when doors are open.


After that, put the wire to go to the driver side for the brake and side mirror. You should easily find a space here for wire to go through, and I guess different people will choose different place for it. The wires length are not that long, so need to make sure it can reach the side mirror and brake switch. Very simple for side mirror and brake, you can find the switches easily, just plug out and connect into the wires sockets, connect the other end to the existing wire.

Then if you want to have Tee-Tee sound when lock / unlock, you need to install the buzzer. For the buzzer, if you want to install on the front hood, just open the hood, you will seed a big rubber cap near the battery side. Peel out that rubber cap, put the buzzer wire through, and put back the rubber cap. make sure it is tight otherwise air / water may come in from there. Plug the buzzer head into the 4 in 1 box and that's it.
(sorry forgot to take pics for this step).


There is also a jumper on the 4 in 1 box, where you can set :

1) Side mirrors unfold immediately when door is unlocked OR
2) Side mirrors unfold only when key position is on ACC mode (engine on).

*Many thanks skyny / Jack for the information about the jumper.

At first I thought option 2) would be so cool, like unlock then the side mirrors unfold, like the car is welcoming you

But after awhile, found it not practical, as sometimes I just need to unlock take my stuff, then lock it back. The side mirrors will unfold and then fold again. I worry this will cause extra damage to the motors as it is used more frequent now, so I change it back to option 1).

For my case, the jumper is set at option 1) out from the box, but to be sure, better to test it first before closing the glove box. (Again, removing and installing the glove box is not fun at all.)

Then finally, you need to choose where to place this 4 in 1 tiny black box. I use a double side tape and stick it with the door receiver. After make sure everything is tested and working good, reinstall back the glove box and enjoy.

So far my feedbacks on the device :

1) Hazard lights when doors open is abit redundant for me, I wish it can be switched off.
2) Foot brake auto-lock only works when key is on ACC / engine on, and doors are closed properly. And yout need to press the foot brake for about 1sec, only it will lock the door.

Other than that, this device is so cool and worth it.

I go and show off to my friends afterwards, they are so amazed of side mirrors auto folding when lock. Just act cool when pressing the lock button


Hope this helps.

Side story :



Yeah you all must have noticed there is a rust spot on the metal bar there. I touch and found out it is greasy. I guess Perodua know this and apply grease when assembling. Not going to complain though, as it is only one spot, high possibility they wont replace the whole thing. I apply more WD-40 on it. Maybe one day will sand off the rust.

Check your Axia, see if majority are affected, if yes, maybe we can go claim some compensation (free spoiler / Llumar maybe for G spec )
