depends on ur condition, mine 6 years never change the bushes

Well... It depends on you. If you feel that your car doesn't handle as good as it used to, changing the steering rack bushings may help. I take the same corners fairly often and have to say that the steering feels good so far.

Way to check worn/ faulty steering bush.

Get someone seat at the driver seat. turn the steering.
( you check on engine bay, see the steering rack , whether got move left and right or not )
if yes, then is faulty.

anyone having problem with their alarm? mine will active automatically when its raining..

i notice it will auto activate if i wind down a bit on passenger window.

also if raining whn im driving the car door symbol at meter will light on. also whn going through uneven road

Aiks i see wrong or the sc I always go change the type of full synthetic oil they use. Previously I rmb was 0w30 now best is 5w40. I'll just settle for the 5w40

anyone car wiper sound 'tak tak'(mechanical) during wiping?

while back to my hometown, usually i drove my dad's Vios J year 2009 and my cousin's Vios E year 2010/2011,
i can feel that both Vios not as good as my SV in cornering and handling.
still satisfied with current condition of my SV

got sample photos for steering bush and location of steering rack ? thanks

tested 10 persona , 10 persona also have that sound. wiper
motor sound

what sound? mine doesnt have

Open each doors individually and check to see which one does not cause the door ajar light to appear when it is open. If all of the doors seem fine, close all the doors and play around with the roof light switch and see if it causes the door ajar light to light up.

My roof light's switch had contact issues and would occasionally connect in such a way that the door ajar light will come on. If your alarm is armed, it will sound.

Is it really loud? Mine doesn't have any abnormal sound. Only the soft relay tik sound.

when the wiper swipe, will have sound.

I see. If it isn't related to your wiper blades/arms (e.g wiper arm incorrectly adjusted and therefore causing the wiper blade to hit the edge of the windscreen), it could be the wiper linkage, or the motor itself. The wiper motor can be easily accessed from the engine bay, but to get access to the wiper linkage, you'll need to remove the plastic piece that runs along the bottom of the windscreen. It is fairly easy cause you'll just need to pull out the black plastic screws from the engine bay and remove two screws located at each end of the plastic piece, then pry the plastic piece off which is held to the car by plastic clips which are also used for door panels.

Be careful when you buy aftermarket wiper linkage, cause I bought one once and the driver side wiper spindle (where the wiper arm is screwed on to) wasn't the right size, so the right wiper couldn't be installed properly. I managed to get a refund for it. Also, do note that there are plenty of sharp edges around.

hi shifu's,

thinking of changing to a lighter flywheel for better acceleration. any advice? any shop recommendations which sell aftermarket/custom flywheel?

not much info in the forums about this, and I don't want to skim my original flywheel for obvious safety reasons.

Is it recommended to install lightweight flywheel with a lightened crank pulley together? some forumers said campro crankshaft fragile cannot install lightweight flywheel... o.o

any comments/advice is welcome thanks.

seldom listen people want to change lighten flywheel.

Change Light crank pully a lot people do that.

i have issue with the auto lock function, it will unlock itself once i hit the gas and lock if i hit the brakes. what is the cause of this? kinda annoys me but happen quite seldom

Finally we can say goodbye to the Camtakpro . The new engines from Plotong look promising, but sadly the body of the Persona is going to be different and a segment down. IMO, the Persona Elegance H-Line looks very nice especially if the paint is in a good condition.

Wiring problem? The auto lock function is by default not linked to the throttle.

My Driver Power Windows failing, and i'm not eligible for the Lifetime Warranty. Is it broken or can still fix with silicone spray?

Started few weeks back when i press auto down it will stuck 2/5 way need to press again to fully down, press up no problem but everytime stuck when it closes will close hard.

Just now same thing happened except now halfway up it doesn't go up, wind down wind up again still stuck halfway, need to use hand to assist the windows to close and when closed it closes really hard. I'm not sure is the motor broke or some gearing issue.

If repair should go back Proton or my usual mechanic? Roughly how much and how long it takes to repair? And if motor fault is there any new design or only have old design?

Also my car squeeks when i brake especially during cold/wet days, any issue with that?
