yaya... >.< how to fix it?

Is there someone knows what are the things that needed to be replace/change when the milage reaches 40k

As far as i know, one of it is to change transmission fluid

Can someone enlighten me?

If you are following Proton's maintenance schedule, need to change spark plugs as well.

Yeah, but i've been quoted with ridiculous price and add on

Which makes me wonder, which one is important?


Update*
I already change Element Air Filter, Power Steering Fluid and Brake Fluid on my 35k service

Ur mileage now?

35k

That one is for 40k

Alignment & Balancing
- Should have done it outside at a reputable tyre shop. My alignment + camber setting for four wheels cost just as much. It should be much cheaper without camber even though the alignment for this car is done for four wheels. Balancing should be around RM20 only for all four wheels.

Radiator Coolant(4 Litre)
- Is this pre-mixed or concentrated? You only need about 20% ~ 33% of the total radiator capacity of concentrated coolant, and this is about 1 litre+ of coolant only.

Gear Oil & Fuel Filter
- I think both of these are supposed to be changed at 60,000KM, but I guess it doesn't hurt to change it early.

RM81.09 service
- What did they do for this? Clean the air-cond filter only? Top up gas? Add compressor oil?

Do you park on an area with a slight incline or decline? If you always engage P and the handbrake and then only release the brake pedal, your car will be mostly held still by the parking pawl. This is why it can be hard to shift out of the P. Next time engage N and the handbrake, release the foot brake and let the car rest, then only engage P.

RM81.09 service is for Minor service, but why need to charge for change radiator coolant, engine tune up and Throttle body service?

it should be included in RM81.09...

No comment on the engine tune up (dunno what exactly is this tune up) and throttle body service (no idea what's servicing throttle body). Radiator coolant change is recommended every 2 years or 20,000KM.

any help?? thx

This is normal for most cars.

im also curious on the SC tune up & throttle body service.

Im quite sure they didn't fully-service the throttle body (take it out, clean each components) because last time i check the throttle body screw mark was still there, meaning they didnt take it out. i think they only spray the cleaning element gas to the TB.

Persona is one of the easiest car to maintain .

I never brought the car to Proton service centre therefore i already void the right to claim any warranty but i can save much money from after sales.

Nvm,the car doesn't have any serious problem and i only replace wear and tear parts.

I did my own regular routine check.

Normally for normal service for each 10K KM;

replace with Eneos 5W-30 semi sync engine oil and oil filter

replace normal air filter with K&N.washable and better than stock.

U just need to know when to replace the brake pads/fuel filter/coolant/brake oil/ATF/spark plugs/air cond gas/cabin filter/steering fluid/timing belt/absorbers/tyres/battery/valve gasket cover.

if i feel the car sluggish than usual;maybe it is time to clean the air filter/TB.

try to keep the engine bay as clean as possible

be proactive and u will save a lot of money

7 years and on going.

The 'Engine tune up' is just a name for Service charge! kind of bullshit.
The SC that I used to go always put this engine tune up, if go direct under Proton it show service charge or labour charge. Just put it nicer to show people.

They just take the laptop, connect check the error code. Nothing tune!

Thank you for the kind replies again. I have decided to buy Proton Persona SV, but I do not like the basic look of the steering wheel and seats. Any recommendations?

You can consider buying the H-Line Leather seats/covers from Proton, or some compatible leather/PVC covers for the seats which should be cheaper, albeit not that nice in quality. If you're willing to spend over RM2000, you can choose the leather you want and the design as well. Maybe you can get some leather stitched onto the steering wheel too at the same time.

I had a card for a company that does custom leather seats for Proton cars, but I don't know where did it go to.

Thank you for the kind reply, I will check it out. The sales agent told me that I can select the accessories I want, so I believe I can just inform the looks / accessories I want during the booking?

I would like to ask, I love the R3 bodykit and sport rims, does anyone here have a persona with this look?

Not sure how reliable it would be getting stuff through your SA. I'd avoid getting tints from any SA because you might end up paying a lot more than you should. You can try asking your SA to get the H-Line seats and body kit for you if you want.

didn't take out means clean the outer part of tb only, as in the flap and outside. inside still dirty. unless they rev the engine and spray past the flap.
maybe the service is to reset the throttle body after cleaning.

anyway, anybody knows how to reset ECU? found some old info in Gen2 thread that involves removing 2 ECU fuses. not sure if that's applicable for Persona.

i suggest u take it to workshop to reset, i tried reset it by myself end up rpm rev to 4k when startup car, and keep around 3k even when idling. scared the shit out of me
