pheww... lock unlock lock unlock along the trip is annoying. The best is disengage the fuse to disable the central lock. The bad, have to manually lock all the doors each time exiting the car.

I'm using syntium 3000 se (5w30) and normal 3000 (5w40).
What I noticed is that the sound of engine if finer when using 40. 30 seems to be more 'powerful' though.

Not much difference in fc. That's solely my opinion nontheless. Alot ppl say 40 is better for protong engine though.

SC only sells 30oils now unless want to go for syntium 7000 0w40.

They colab with petronas to come out with special oils that are only sold by sc

Which do viscosity?

How many belts does Persona has ah?

Is it just timing belt + fan v belt?? power steering , alternator all same fan v belt kan?

any brand suggestion ?

how often should we change the brake pad ?

Every now and then, in the early morning when I first start my car-

When I try starting, there will be just a "TAK" sound with all the indicator lights in the dashboard out..but car doesn't start.

Only during the second time it will start. Is it normal? It happens every now and then.

Hi peeps , wanna ask when do u all change the water pump? Is there a certain mileage we need to change it?

Might be engine mounting? Or perhaps you have taken the dashboard out to fix aircond before?

Most of my rattling comes from aircond vent, power window frames, and rear seat (nyik nyik ngek ngek sound). I've given up and decided to live with them.

anyone know how to fix the 'kok kok' sound when going through uneven roads especially from brake caliper?

Yes reasonable. Is ur persona B, M or H line? Those H line that comes with ABS and thus uses a bigger servo. The B and M line uses the BLM 1.3 single layer servo. If u are using B or M line, I suggest switching to a double layer servo from Honda VIRS/EK (commonly known as the dolphic eye civic). That brake servo gives a better modulation and progressive feel for the brake pedal as its double layer (ur current brake pedal have to press quite a bit before it starts to bite) and doesnt give too much braking power that will cause ur wheels to lock up easily.

Ok this is a common issue with workshops. Whenever u go to them for recommendation for a more 'sporty' feel shocks, they always use shorter stroke absorbers and stiffer springs, giving that very stiff and bumpy feel. It is only suitable if u are travelling on smooth roads like highway all the time. When it comes to B-roads u will suffer. My suggestion for street use sport absorber is to use long stroke/stock stroke sports absorbers with stiffer springs. The long stroke gives ur car the adequate suspension travel to smooth out those potholes and bumps on road and the slower rebound rate with the stiffer spring gives it that firmer grip feel instead of letting ur car bounce around with stock absorbers (stock absorbers are long stroke with quick rebound and softer spring to give that comfort feel, but dues to the softer nature ur car tends to nose dive or roll a bit excessively when braking or hard cornering).

My top suggestions for suspension setup with absorber price as follow:
1) IMP Improve Comfort  RM850 (sport absorbers with very very long durability) + Satria Neo CPS springs for the front and standard springs with IMP Comfort at the back.
2) Proride performance RM480 (yellow color not black) with Satria Neo CPS front springs and stock persona rear springs
3) Monroe Original RM420 + the same spring setup.
