Hi, if my persona "engine check light" light up, what could be the problem? I changed my spark plug already.

Can i bring it over to proton SC and ask them to diagnose the problem only?

Check engine light only indicates something is wrong, there are hundreds of possibilities.

You'll need to bring it back to SC, they will plug in the computer to check exactly what is the problem(s).

just want to give a short review between persona elegance b-line and the persona sv model.
having both models in my house right now.

b-line is ard 5 years old while the persona sv is ard 3 months.

in terms of accessories, sv model got:

driver seat height adjuster
rear seat adjustable head rest
foldable rear seats
back pocket for the front seat


the sv seats are also much more comfortable than the b-line (to my surprise actually). maybe proton added extra foam?

also the sv engine is also much quieter than the b-line.

not sure what have proton done to the seats and engine noise...maybe some of you guys can give your feedback here.

My Persona SV has none of those huh.gif You sure the one you have is not the Executive model?

yes confirm sv model. my sv seats are fabric, not leather  tongue.gif

maybe its a 2016 model that is why it comes with those seat height adjuster, foldable seats etc.
not sure i'm just guessing maybe proton include all those in 2016 sv models.

your sv is which year?
auto or manual?

After enduring the SV's sampah breks for over a year, I took the first step to improve it by swapping the front brake pads to aftermarket Brembo pads.

Now the pedal travel is still longer than I like, but once it bites it bites noticeably stronger than before. Now I am much more confident of stopping the car at high speeds.

Still contemplating if I should replace the rear brake pads as well.

yup..i feel the sv is much more silent than the PE b-line while driving.

not sure whether the engine is more silent or the sv model has better sound proofing.

another thing i notice about the engine characteristics.

when going uphill any slope..the b-line will rev up to 2.5k rpm and then drop back to search for a lower gear and then will go back up to 2.5k rpm.

while the sv would just rev to 3k rpm and then stay there until i reach the top of the slope.

both the cars are auto btw.

i wonder did p1 engineers tuned the engine in the sv model differently from the normal elegance model  hmm.gif
*
According to pault@n the SV's gearbox control unit seemed to have been tweaked slightly compared to the pre-SV Persona....The SV seemed to be more eager and downshift and hold lower gears.

btw how do you find the SV's brakes compared to B-line's?

Depends on your radiator actually. Depending on the material, some manufacturers will tell you to stick strictly to plain water. No coolant, etc.

I thought battery water ada sedikit acid?

I think the water pump is driven by the fead belt... if the fead belt spoils you just lose power steering, air cond and some others

and alternator, without which will strand you by the roadside.

But of course nowhere as serios aa timing belt putus.

How to fold it down ? Omg I'm owning it for 3 years but I didn't know this function lol.

How's ur car? Previously got leaking issue right ? If I remember correctly
*
Only the last few batches of the SV have foldable seats. Earlier batches don't have.

QUOTE(inferno_17_85 @ Oct 31 2017, 01:13 AM)
Really depends on how you use it. Disc brake pad got a metal indicator that screech when it's almost exhausted. When your disc brake screech it's time to change.
*
Last time when I changed the brake pads on my Persona SV, the stock pads didn't have the pad wear indicator.

Better check the pad thickness visually. Change if you have less than 3mm of pad material left.
