dont know why, i think my previous iswara's brake is better than the persona, momentum?
*
How heavy is the Iswara? The Persona weights over 1200KG. Mine doesn't have ABS + EBD and the nose dive + standard B-line brake system makes it feel like it won't brake in time, but so far the brakes are working up to my expectations after changing to better brake pads.

my father's matrix 1.8 is almost 1400kg, but the brake performs much better than persona too
i think the persona brake is below standard, so i decided to change the brake servo and brake pad

bro, wat brake pad u using? i have ordered the bendix titanium
*
Bendix Metal King Titanium. The initial response of the brake pedal for the Persona definitely doesn't instil any confidence in braking, but I like it that way cause I can do very soft braking, and if I need to brake hard I just press it harder. biggrin.gif

Mine just replace all together when changing timing and engine belt.

Jesus. car just 56k mileage, the engine belt already crack until want putus. Lucky replace early.

ohmy.gif My car's at about 73K mileage and around 5 years+ old (from manufacturing date). sweat.gif

Isnt this brake pad is ceramic material brake pad. This might shorten your rotor lifespan.

hmm.gif Metal King Titanium is semi-metallic I believe.

wah expensive still tight on budget, if don't change first will have any damage to other parts?

Uhm.... Dunno what sort of damage will it cause, but I imagine that it wouldn't be good for your blower motor with the on off going on, and possibly your air-cond compressor if you did not turn it off manually.

where do u replace RM200 so cheap? i saw forum some member said rm450, some rm700. mine also gila gila edi...

My special air-cond shop at Sungai Buloh. brows.gif I don't remember the exact price though, but it wasn't particularly expensive as far as I remember. Definitely not over RM250.

Great! Can you send me the shop name and location? Thanks.
Mine happen very frequently now, definitely need to change if out-of my control... sad.gif

I'll send it to you when I locate the receipt. I cannot guarantee the price though because it might be special price. hmm.gif. Also, if you plan to do anything to the air-cond that is related to taking the filter out, don't let them do it because they probably will break the bracket. Costed me RM25 to replace sweat.gif.

hi, which contact points? you mean the socket plugged-in to the controller there? got any photo for reference? seems not easy to dismantle as need to take out the casing around gearbox area right?

tq.
so the aircond controller you bought from them, but replace yourself aka diy?
*
Nope. I let them install it for me, but helped them disassemble the centre console at the same time to make it faster. I'm going to send you the shop's info now, but call them first before you go to confirm the price & stock.

QUOTE(ahpaul82 @ Dec 31 2014, 04:35 PM)
No, not the connector,

is the aircond knob behind those contact points. 

unfortunately I only have the aircond switch photo,

I forgot to take the PCB photo.

Yes, It may not easy if you dismantle first time,

you might break some plastic parts.

need to remove the 2x screw on top portion,

center console need to adjust abit in order to make some space to pull the aircond assembly out.

[attachmentid=4281467]

Red Color = 2x screws you need to remove.
Blue Color = 4x clips to hold the aircond switch in place, you need to pry it out.
Green Color = these two portion connected to your center console.
Yellow Color = 4x screws type is Sanden, 3x screws type is Patco, the main connector also different.
Both brands not interchangeable.

Hope this helps.

I brought mine home and opened it. Till now never did anything laugh.gif

hihi, i'm newbie in tis post.

I have owned persona elegance m-line for 4yrs(coming fifth year). My persona punya brake r damn noisy, especially morning n raining. I had changed the disc n pad few times but still the same. been try bendix MTK b4 and now using shoji disc with brembo pad, but still the same and now even worse. have any one facing this problem too? how u guys solve it? been visited few SC and outside workshop also said that brake noise is very normal. = ="
*
I only have issues with the brake ngumm noise when close to a complete stop while braking, or when the brakes are released in D from a complete stop, but not if the brakes are hot from extended travelling and braking (I do a lot of short distance travelling only, rarely need to use the brake since I don't have the tendency to do a 100% throttle & braking).

Have you tried servicing your brake caliper pins? Maybe they're not moving well.

thx for your reply.

I also have the brake ngumm noise when complete stop. But the noise I mentioned is totally different, it sound like ngewww ~ when the brake is cold/too hot and get wet. So everytime I out from the car wash or driving in rain, my brake is making noise which is very loud whenever i press the brake. the sound is loud til other driver oso can hear it. this reali made me very paiseh lar...

last time did get my brake caliper pins serviced and it moving well. So i think it might not the caliper pin problem. Any brake specialist sifu to recommend?
*
Don't have any sifus to recommend.... Did you replace the brake rotors and pads at the same time?

hi guys,

the newbie here. i have some question to ask the persona user here, is it worth to buy persona sv now? currently i'm just planning to buy my first car...but still wonder whether to take persona sv or iriz 1.3 cvt.. so b4 i make a decision, i need some of opinion to persona user. maybe u guys can share some experience.

thanks. :-)
*
Will you be fetching passengers or driving alone only? If you're driving alone the Persona is very nice. There's no need to care about passenger comfort. If you fetch people, take the Iriz. The rear seats are terrible in the Persona.

QUOTE(kennywee92 @ Jan 10 2015, 02:36 AM)
Skim rm70 to rm80 right?
New blank disc rotor only about rm130? I didn't skim mine and changed straight after the old one warped.
Get crossed drilled slotted from me also can brows.gif
*
Skimming to me is not worth it.. Better go straight for new rotors. OEM style or whatever. Better than spending money on skimming unless a new set of rotors are really expensive, which isn't the case for the Persona.

Iriz rear seat is not thin? Last time I sat in Iriz at roadshow, I think is thin than Persona but thicker than axia/myvi. or its just me being forgetful? legroom seems persona more bigger.
*
hmm.gif As far as I remember it is thicker than the persona 's seats. The problem with the persona 's rear seats is that it's like sitting on a poorly cushioned small stool but with back support and poor head support. The leg room is decent only if the front passenger and driver is not tall.

The Iriz seats on the other hand supports the leg pretty well and the leg room is much better front and back.

No, persona rear seat not comfortable as iriz, and persona seat thin also. Iriz rear seat support leg much better than persona, but front seat is is ok for persona. And the legroom also better in iriz.

But when going to uneven road, iriz still cannot beat persona comfortness  thumbup.gif

Ya meh... The last time I drove the Iriz it was much better than the Persona in terms of comfort cause of the seats. biggrin.gif

Nope only the normal service.

Ahh. Then you should do these:

a) Throttle Body Cleaning (ThreeBond cleaning, look for Thundergod_cid)
b) Engine flushing using the Lambda Oil primer before going for an oil change (Thundergod_Cid as well)

Maybe
c) Buy the Caltex Techron Fuel Cleaner
d) Get a lightened crank pulley
e) Buy oil additives like Ceratec and Nano WS2 Extreme
f) Get rid of the air-cond compressor laugh.gif



So far I have done a), b), c) and e). Not very cheap, but not particularly expensive either. So far it's still bearable with the air-cond engaged, but when the compressor is not engaged the car revs pretty damn fast.

for a gasket!? i just changed my absorbers, can't afford that damage now... if i leave it there and top up engine oil regularly, won't do much harm to my engine right?
*
Changed mine for RM60 + free labour since I did it myself. It's not hard, but time consuming if you want to do it properly (i.e clean the surface of the engine properly for the sealant to be applied on and etc), and you need the right tools to do the job, which aren't expensive to buy. I got a mini tool set for RM32 to do the job from a DIY store.

Went to SC charged me Rm 3.50 for sticking the weather sheet but same thing happened after sticking it back.
Don't know what else to do now.

Maybe they didn't cover all of the holes properly, or maybe the water is coming through the clip holes.

To let the brake pad bed in nicely. If hard brake, the surface won't be smooth. Somehow like that. I tak tau how to explain laugh.gif

I thought recommended thing to do is to let the brake pad bed in properly through several moderately high speed hard braking but without a complete stop? hmm.gif
