New Member Newbie 5 posts Joined: Jun 2011	LYN Proton Persona Owners Club V54! LYNPPOC Persona celebrating 54 threads of awesomeness!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! TO ALL FELLOW LYNPPOC MEMBERS WHO ARE DRIVING PERSONA ELEGANCE: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « If you have ever experienced sounds (tak tak tak tak tak) coming from your engine during cold start in the morning, then it MAY BE one of the infamous Proton's manufacturing defect: the IAFM problem. IAFM noise is most noticeable during cold start, and you may hear the frequency of the noise going up or down depending on the RPM that the engine is running at. The noise is identical to a diesel truck or lorry's engine idling noise. Once the engine has warmed up, the noise will become softer or totally eliminated. This is because the plastic components on one of the valves on IAFM expands with heat. Below is a video of a member's car with IAFM problem. B-gKqxJb5ZI So far the problems that may be associated with IAFM noise are nothing major, but in certain cases it may cause severe throttle lag, and the noise may get louder over time. Some owners have even experienced increase in fuel consumption and bad engine response. If you visit the service centre and the mechanic or service attendant tells you that the noise is not caused by IAFM as our Persona Elegance comes with new batch of IAFM modules, DO NOT believe what they said. You may: 1.) Ask them to diagnose and tell you what exactly is the problem since they insisted that it's not IAFM module noise. 2.) If the mechanics at CoSE tell you that the noise is not caused by IAFM, go to a few different SCs, have them to check your IAFM module for imperfections on the valve, then get them to write a report each. Compile these reports & bring it to CoSE's customer service and file a complaint, give it to their higher authority. Now, do remember that they may not be able to figure the noise out if you send your car to SC as the engine has already warmed up. Park your car and leave it there for an hour or so for the engine to cool down, then get the service attendant or mechanic to listen to the noise as you start the engine. Again, I would like to stress on this main point as I've experienced this myself and wasted almost a month plus before sending it to a different SC just to have the noise diagnosed as IAFM problem; If the guys at CoSE tells you that it's not IAFM problem but your guts and 13 other SCs tell u that it is, then it IS IAFM problem. In my case they never even bothered to check as the engine has already warmed up and the sound was gone by the time the mechanic laid his hands on my car. This serves as an important announcement to all Persona Elegance (PE) owners as to not overlook this small issue that may lead to greater problems in the future. The price of IAFM modules has dropped since year 2009 (from RM 1200+ in late 2008 to RM 2xx in 2011) because of the frequency of Campro IAFM engines having this problem. Still, it's our right to claim the IAFM modules as they are covered under warranty and malfunctioned units are manufacturing defects. We should not wait till the warranty period is over and then pay them RM300+ including labour to fix a defect that is there from day 1 of ownership of the car itself. I hope all the Persona Elegance owners out there take note of this issue and do not keep an eye closed. Salam 1 Malaysia, & Harap Maklum.

Common Problem in Persona » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Problem 1: Knocking sound when cornering on uneven surface coming from Front RHS Causes: This is due to the power steering fluid delivery piping knocking against the metal pipe and the body underneath it as the uneven road causes it to twitch up and down. OLD Pipe (left) vs New Pipe (right) [attachmentid=1911676][attachmentid=1911677] Solution: Proceed to Proton SC to claim warranty for Power Steering fluid assembly. Claims are FOC, including the power steering fluid. Parts list they will change for this new power steering assembly. 1)Tube B - PW828913N 2)Tube A - PW828914N 3)Hose Return - PW828915N 4)Rubber Hose - PW820961 5)Clip Pressure - PW820962 6)Orifice Valve - PW895228 Problem 2: Radio hangs/not responsive while driving and no buttons seems to response to press. Causes: The RDS function is scanning for a clearer frequency. Due to different frequency for the same radio station overlapping certain areas while driving, this causes the radio to re-tune the station. Solution: Turn off the RDS function loh. Go read the manual on how to do it. Problem 3: Klock klock sound coming from the rear seat. (Not applicable for B-Line ) Causes: The foldable rear seat hook has a bit of free play. Solution: Wrap some thick cushion type double sided tape to the hook. Tips for Persona Users (To be Updated) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1)Most SC uses Petronas engine oil. To use other engine oil, exp Shell Helix HX-7, its recommended to go to authorized service outlets instead. 2)Stock brake pads are softer than Sponge Bob. Recommendation is to change it to ceramic brakes. Better performance and lesser dust.

Maybe in the next Version of the thread we can reserve the 2nd post for FC monitoring by forumers.. Or another ideal way to calculate is to 1) Fill full tank petrol and reset trip meter 2) Drive car like mad fella or slow like aunty/uncle. 3) When u need to refill the tank (no matter you have used half tank only or use till no more petrol in tank), top it back up to full tank (remember to note down how many litres filled in, using the price instead is subjective as petrol price fluctuates up and down and may affect future comparison). 4) Jot down mileage from previous full tank till refill and reset trip meter again. 5) Calculate (FC= Total mileage/Litres filled to top up back to full tank). 6) Post it up onto our club here for comparison.

I have googled about this problem, comments from various forums seem to conclude that this brake screeching is quite a normal thing for persona. Some does not get this prob. Proposed solution is to try changing to better brake pads, adding some grease at the back of the brake pad. I will give feedbacks here after trying.

Same thing happened to my car front brake that also have screeching sound, especially after raining day. However it doesn't affect overall braking performance of the car. See when change brake pad next time change a better one.

Just to update here, went to change both rear and front brake pads to a more reputable brand introduced by my friend. Problem solved, no more screeching at all, none. Hopefully it will last. Touch wood.

If you wanna use this car for 10 years, don't need to care about RV lor. I'm not sure about the performance, to me its like the same. Cuz I don't do hard braking, not really sure bout that. again, most importantly it doesn't screech. yeah.

I heard that the rod may eventually break if it's left in its current state, so it's probably a good idea to get the thing serviced, I.e. Shorten the rod if I'm not mistaken.

I'm using ceramic brake pads thanks bro I did have this problem before this. Stock brake pads from Bosch also produces high pitch screeching when u apply brake at low speed. Lots of dust too. 3 weeks ago I changed my front pads to a brand named Musashi. These pads give me even more screeching sound. I think it's of low quality lah. A week ago I felt angry, can't tahan the stupid screeching sound. I bought whole new sets of front and rear brake pads, Treator Metallic plus , which is introduced by my dad's car parts supplier. After changing to this, no single screeching at all. Again, not single screech!!! Dam good pads.

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	I took some time to apply some synthetic lithium grease to the back of the brake pads for the front since the morning groaning noise was way too much after the insulation layer got removed. For now my brakes do not groan loudly anymore early in the morning, and even without warming up, when the car closes to a halt, the brakes hardly groan as well. If it stays like this, I'll probably get some proper brake grease to replace the current one since it's only rated for 200+ Deg C. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 4 2015, 01:46 PM

Low frequency noise. Should not be a problem to apply a suitable layer of grease to the back of the pads.

Is it a low pitch voice ? Like wang wang wang. Why did you remove the insulation layer ?

I told one of the foreman to re-adjust the insulation layer of the pads since they weren't seated properly, but he proceeded to tear them off on the pretext that it doesn't do anything and that it's just plastic.

The plastic layer that comes on all the Bendix MKT pads which Bendix calls the insulation layer can be easily unseated when the brake calipers are put on since only the middle part of the layer is glued to the brake pads.

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	One of the recent "fix" I did to my car was to wrap the plastic of the all the door strikers with a layer of electrical tape since they're all already broken. It seems to be a problem for many, if not all Personas, and for mine it was causing my door closing noise to be inconsistent (for the rear right door, it started closing with a loud plastic KOK noise recently), and worse still, preventing some of the doors from being shut properly at times. For now it seems that the doors are closing more consistently now, and the noise when the door closes/open is now consistent and less "metalic" sounding when the metal bit that latches onto the door striker unlocks. Edit: Do not remove the plastic bit from the door striker unless you want to deal with a metallic noise whenever the door closes. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 4 2015, 06:53 PM

I'm not sure about this. You can try asking your mechanic to see what can be done, or maybe contact Zordaq Motorsport/Engineering for their opinion. What brake pads are you currently using? Did your mechanic bleed your brakes for you after the installation? When I got the servo installed, it wasn't as good as I imagined it would be at first cause the car didn't seem to be stopping fast unless I pushed harder on the brake pedal once it becomes stiff. Now I think I'm used to the brake pedal feel since I have no problems so far with stopping my car fast. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 6 2015, 06:18 PM

It's normally done by having one person pump the brake pedal, while the other person deals with the job of opening and closing the bleeder valve to let brake fluid out until there is no sign of air bubbles in the fluid that comes out.

It seems softer now. Not sure if it's because the servo is working properly now, or something is wrong. Braking power still seems ok.

With the insulation, it was loud but still acceptable. Without it, the sound is terribly loud and annoying. Luckily it's only when the brakes are not hot. I think the only solution would be brake pads with proper shims to reduce noise and vibration etc.

If the problem lies with the lack of noise reduction material on the pads themselves, I suppose that there's no reason to worry about brake failure.

Get a bunch of people to sit in your car so that the EBD system will make the rear brakes work harder. I'm currently searching for a proper brake lubricant, and it seems that it's very difficult to find them in Malaysia. . I'm going to pay a visit to Ace Hardware one day to see what they have to offer.

Did you bed the brake pads properly? If they are new and they are squealing occasionally you might just need to bed them by going beyond 80KM/H and applying the brakes moderately hard until the vehicle almost stops, then repeat the cycle a few more times.

Probably still won't be as vibration free as when the car was new due to engine wear and tear but it should eliminate most of it. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 8 2015, 10:53 AM

Car mileage 65k, 4 years 11 month. When drive no sound, just idle there's the vibration and sound. probably engine mounting aged already.

I changed the front absorber links yesterday and now it is making some weird noise. whenever I turn right on uneven road at low speed, i can hear a 'klok' sound from the right side front wheel. then i turn the steering back to neutral, another 'klok' sound. it wasn't making any noise before i change the links. anyone knows what is the cause? could it be improper installation of the links?

For my car the larger anti roll bar also seems to have introduced some metal flex/creak noise which occurs from time to time when turning. Changing larger pr stiffer anti roll bar, will help on cornering performance. But in the other hand, because of the anti roll bar stiffer now, may lead to some annoying sound. Mine when hit some hole, not so big with slow speed, will have loud kok sound . But check , it was working fine. QUOTE(kirokiroshin @ Dec 9 2015, 03:07 PM) how much is it to change the front anti roll bar bushes including labor cost? my front ARB is still stock and rear i change to UR ARB 16mm too! for me, i feel that the thicker rear ARB makes the front end slightly easier to turn during corner, reduced understeer? I changed mine rm 90 include installation , local bush.

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	Replaced my left front door lock actuator today. Supposed to be easy but the three screws that secure the door latch have what I believe to be blue locktite on them, so they're a PITA to remove even with the right screw driver. Can't squeeze the actuator back into its position either without removing the door latch since there isn't enough space to manoeuvre about. You need to twist and lock the actuator into position. Also just realised that the music in the cabin leaks out quite a fair bit for my car at over volume 15. Not sure if it's originally like that, or is a result of replacing the door and window seals. At volume 20+ anyone standing near front doors can hear the music very clearly. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 10 2015, 09:22 PM

Last time when my father replaced his Perdana's drive shaft there was this zinggg noise when he accelerates. Couldn't figure out where it was from... until the wheel came off with the drive shaft or something like that. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 11 2015, 01:01 PM

QUOTE(Nicheadison @ Apr 26 2015, 03:27 AM) Item(s): Proton Persona Wet Carpet / Water Leak Repair [attachmentid=4427703] I know a lot of Proton Persona owners have this wet carpet/water leak problem. I myself experienced it twice If you find that there is some water in the "longkang" of the rubber (pointed by arrow above) after rainy day, then there is a high possibility that water may get into your cabin. The problem is actually due to poor seal of the plastic water shield behind the door trim. Some possible causes of poor seal: 1. Improper seal after power window repair (My driver side door as shown, messy black seal compared to the proper seal) [attachmentid=4426447] [attachmentid=4426449] 2. Removal of the plastic water seal after soundproofing of the door 3. Upgrade / Install speakers 4. Etc I am here to provide you the solution. Alternatively, you may DIY to resolve it. But if you are not confident to do so or don't want to get dirty, just contact me I have opened the door trim for a lot of time to troubleshoot & do the soundproofing Package includes: 1. Replace door water shield plastics (Original from Proton) [attachmentid=4426451] 2. Reseal door water shield with new Butyl tape [attachmentid=4426452] 3. Replace damage door clip caused by me during dismantlement, if any (Using Original Clip from Proton) [attachmentid=4426450] Price: RM250 for 4 doors (Sorry, repair for less than 4 doors is not provided ) Warranty: No Warranty, test before you leave Dealing method: On-site Repair & COD -I provide on-site repair for area near Jalan Klang Lama (OUG, Kuchai Lama, Sri Petaling, Bukit Jalil, etc, please whatsapp to confirm) with no extra charge. -However, please make sure the place is safe and have enough space for me to work Location of seller: Jalan Klang Lama Contact method/details: Nic, 016-501 Five Three One Five (Whatsapp or SMS only) Age of item: New --- Item(s) conditions: New Picture: Reason for sale: Wanna help Persona owner to solve this annoying problem and at the same time earn extra money FAQ: Why do I have to replace the plastic water shield? -Although you can use back the plastic water shield, it is highly recommended to replace it during repair as it may be contaminated with dirt & oil, and it may not stick well to the Butyl tape, causing recurring problem Picture of dirty plastic water shield [attachmentid=4426448] If you want to do soundproof for your Proton Persona door, I can do it for you also [attachmentid=4426453] [attachmentid=4426454] RM450 for 4 doors or RM250 for 2 doors (including 1 layer of Edifier vibration damping material on inner part of the door skin + 1 layer of 3M Thinsulate on the door trim) Price for the above soundproof is applicable to water leak repair customer only, non-customer need extra RM50 Effect: More solid door closing sound, slightly reduced external noise, "softer" motorcycle & lorry pass by noise (My advice is not to soundproof ONLY the doors too heavily, or else you will have more obvious tyre & engine noise & super heavy door ) QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Sep 26 2015, 02:28 PM) Here are some pictures of my repair done for my driver side door's weather sealing, which recently started allowing a bit of water to pass through: Not so neat cause I had a rather blunt scissors. Basically one of the fix is to apply a bit of windscreen sealant (butyl tape) in a U shape on the inside of the door frame for the clip holes that are located around the mid to the lower part of the door before sticking on a layer of book plastic wrapper for each of the holes to shield the clips from water. For the door weather seal, you can choose to cover the entire door like the original weather plastic sheet or just cover the important parts individually. However, if your door's original weather seal is in a good condition and just needs a fresh layer of butyl tape to stop water from passing through, scrape off the old tape if required and apply the new tape accordingly onto the door following the pattern that Proton did it in. There are some tiny holes that you must not cover to allow any trapped water to escape, and you should be able to spot such holes easily. I ripped mine off cause it was already pretty dirty and slightly torn in certain spots. I see. Been suffering from wiper judder under light rain conditions for a long time now . Really annoyed cause I need to regulate the speed of the wiper myself to stop it from being annoying. Luckily it's totally smooth under heavy rain.

I dunno, but I assume it is the complete thing since all you need for the release system to work is to have the actuator + the actuator rod. If your boot doesn't have the padding, take a look inside around the latch area and you will see the lock mechanism. There are two metal parts of the lock mechanism with holes, and one of them will cause the lock to be released when it is pushed down, which is where the actuator rod probably connects to.

There is no mention of an additional button for this operation anywhere in the manual.

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	Missing quite a bit of components for the auto trunk system, which are as follows: 1) Mounting plate 2) Wire connection 3) Screws ~~4) Actuator Rod~~ I purchased a new boot latch that comes with the Actuator Rod. I think it's supposed to be included with the motor, but then since PPC was closing I decided to buy it and remove the rod and keep the new latch as a spare since they already took it from the store. For some reason the connector that is hanging off the boot doesn't connect directly to the motor. Based on the picture that I saw, there is apparently a wire that comes with the motor, which I didn't ask for since I thought that it connects directly to the one in the boot. The mounting points on the motor doesn't line up with the holes on the trunk, and even if it did, the screw required doesn't make sense or would be too huge for the motor. This is probably why there was an image of a plate in the diagram of the trunk lid system. I thought that I could get away with using some screws that I already have in the house. Total damage so far: RM110+-. Might rise if the rest of the parts aren't actually included with the price of the motor. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 17 2015, 07:32 PM

New Member Newbie 5 posts Joined: Jun 2011	QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Dec 17 2015, 07:13 PM) Missing quite a bit of components for the auto trunk system, which are as follows: 1) Mounting plate 2) Wire connection 3) Screws ~~4) Actuator Rod~~ I purchased a new boot latch that comes with the Actuator Rod. I think it's supposed to be included with the motor, but then since PPC was closing I decided to buy it and remove the rod and keep the new latch as a spare since they already took it from the store. For some reason the connector that is hanging off the boot doesn't connect directly to the motor. Based on the picture that I saw, there is apparently a wire that comes with the motor, which I didn't ask for since I thought that it connects directly to the one in the boot. The mounting points on the motor doesn't line up with the holes on the trunk, and even if it did, the screw required doesn't make sense or would be too huge for the motor. This is probably why there was an image of a plate in the diagram of the trunk lid system. I thought that I could get away with using some screws that I already have in the house. Total damage so far: RM110+-. Might rise if the rest of the parts aren't actually included with the price of the motor. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « i think the alarm system doesnt include also... if its there then when you activate trunk release.. you could open the boot without triggering the alarm right? edit: just read the book.. need to unlock doors first only can use the trunk release... edit: i assume that it has a different module... (For vehicle fitted with remote boot release system) QUOTE(zr125 @ Dec 18 2015, 08:02 AM) wah, so expensive 1.. where to get?

(For vehicle fitted with remote boot release system) not sure.. i only know the price is around there I got the holding plate and found some suitable screws to secure the motor to the plate and the plate to the boot. Also got the connector that connects to the motor and then the connection that's hanging off the trunk, but my boot release system isn't working. The panic button still causes the car to lock and the horn to start blaring no matter what I try. If the alarm module for the B and M line Persona is different, I guess I'm screwed since the boot release will not work unless I change it to the right alarm module.

Are you on a lowered suspension set-up? How does your car look now? Stock suspension. No big difference la. By calculation, 195/55 only causes the car to be lower by about 10mm compared to 195/60.

The workshop I'm going to is Ezy Garage which is selling the set for RM1200. Don't need to remove the arms, so I think I won't need to re-do the alignment for the rear. A little bit on the high side, but most of the parts are new except for the brake calipers which are serviced units, but if they work fine, it's fine by me.

If it was RM1600 I'd rather buy parts myself, which means everything will be completely new. Probably will still have cash to buy suitable tools like a breaker bar etc as well to DIY. . Then bring it to a workshop to get them to install the handbrake cable.

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	My first impression of Ezy Garage wasn't really good cause of how it looked. It's quite small, not very noticeable cause the signboard is barely visible although it's just beside a badly maintained road and a car wash. The car working platform was made out of wood which wasn't really secured, and the expert looks like a foreigner with his fair skin, and the tiga suku pants. As it turns out, that guy is actually a Malay and he's from Penang, and he is very experienced with disc conversions because he wasn't struggling with anything at all. The only thing that caused the job to be over 4 hours long is because he wanted a better handbrake cable, and the spare parts shop had to hunt for it. The job would have otherwise taken just about 1 and a half hours or so. A few photos from the brake job at Ezy Garage: Disc brake system » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « -- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The caliper, which based on what the mechanic said, is for the CK, GSR, Mivec or something. I asked for the rear calipers to be painted black. The caliper also acts as the parking brake. It is reasonably strong, but it could be better. The handbrake was adjusted to max out at 5 clicks. It can be adjusted to be tighter but I want to make sure that the pads are not riding on the rotors when they're not engaged. Maybe the handbrake will become stronger once the brake pads get bedded in. -- Bendix General CT » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « -- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The drum brakes that were taken out. The reason why my rear right brake failed is because the brake lining came off. The paint of the drum was also heavily corroded since brake fluid was leaking, which is surprising cause the wheel cylinders got replaced just about a year ago. I'm happy to finally see the drum brakes disappear from my car. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Dec 24 2015, 09:24 PM

New Member Newbie 0 posts Joined: Dec 2015	Hello to all the sifu's out there. I just bought a 2009 Persona (1st gen, not special editions or elegance) with IAFM. it is a manual h-line. Need to ask for advice here. 1) my brake discs are quite thin. I think these are the original discs from the factory, and now it's not biting well. my dad says can skim but i think it's better to replace. any advice? if need to replace, i don't need performance parts, normal discs can already. any good brake shops to go to? 2) my engine starts to have a tak-tak-tak sound. I think it's the (in)famous iafm problem. Since the sound is quite soft, should I go to a workshop to repair it or should I replace it? for all the bros who replaced their iafm, did the problem come back again? I was quoted at proton edar larkin in JB that the cost of replacement including labour is RM600+. I read from previous posts that RM300+ can gaodim everything with labour. Is the RM300+ quoted by a service centre? Should I replace at a service centre or go to 3rd party workshop? Is it true that later batches of iafm module uses thicker stronger plastic that won't crack? 3) I saw that there are some recommended service centres in the first post of this thread. any recommended SC's or 3rd party mechanics (good, professional service) in Johor? Likewise, any good, honest stockists in Johor to recommend? 4) can I use 5w30 engine oil in the persona? So far I have used the car for 3 weeks, fuel consumption is about 12km/L, 30% city 70% highway. Hopefully it can improve after I send for servicing. Btw I'm from singapore and I just got this car 2nd hand. Not too sure what the previous owner did or did not do but overall seems decent enough. this car is quite cold door here so I was hoping for some lobangs from this thread. Thank you!

Yes currently i get about this mileage nothing we can do about the sluggishness below 2-3K RPM.but u can try to minimal the effect by i dun complain about this -remove your catalytic converter will remove after the life span arrive -use 4-2-1 extractor noted, but never in my list dun like more noise -use lightened crank pulley with same size as OEM. aldy done in my 2nd year with Works Engineering Before next engine oil change, go buy the lambda oil primer. Just RM50. It's like an engine flush, except that you can drive around safely with it. Just don't leave it overnight.

I switched to a Century Power/Hybrid Wet battery a few months back for RM290.

Getting Started Junior Member 198 posts Joined: Jul 2009	QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Dec 24 2015, 01:29 PM) My first impression of Ezy Garage wasn't really good cause of how it looked. It's quite small, not very noticeable cause the signboard is barely visible although it's just beside a badly maintained road and a car wash. The car working platform was made out of wood which wasn't really secured, and the expert looks like a foreigner with his fair skin, and the tiga suku pants. As it turns out, that guy is actually a Malay and he's from Penang, and he is very experienced with disc conversions because he wasn't struggling with anything at all. The only thing that caused the job to be over 4 hours long is because he wanted a better handbrake cable, and the spare parts shop had to hunt for it. The job would have otherwise taken just about 1 and a half hours or so. A few photos from the brake job at Ezy Garage: Disc brake system » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « -- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The caliper, which based on what the mechanic said, is for the CK, GSR, Mivec or something. I asked for the rear calipers to be painted black. The caliper also acts as the parking brake. It is reasonably strong, but it could be better. The handbrake was adjusted to max out at 5 clicks. It can be adjusted to be tighter but I want to make sure that the pads are not riding on the rotors when they're not engaged. Maybe the handbrake will become stronger once the brake pads get bedded in. -- Bendix General CT » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « -- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The drum brakes that were taken out. The reason why my rear right brake failed is because the brake lining came off. The paint of the drum was also heavily corroded since brake fluid was leaking, which is surprising cause the wheel cylinders got replaced just about a year ago. I'm happy to finally see the drum brakes disappear from my car. fuhh so nice, done already, so do you satisfied with changing form drum brake to disc brake for rear brake system? any significant improvement of braking power ?

Well, blame me for too trusting peoples. I put my car and the shop and ask the mechanic to help me change it and I walk back to office, 3 mins walk. My stock disc done skimming 1 and a half years ago due to screeching noise. That's after 2 years I got my car and it doesn't looks rusty like this at all. Earlier this year, I felt my front wheel got problem again. Upon sending in to check, this mechanic reco for disc brake change. So I go ahead and do it. Since skimming will only last me for 6 months or less. After changed, 3 months later, the same problem come again and that's where I started to think that he had me scammed Liao. ADD : This is not the only thing he scammed me lol. My front radiator fan's case makes loud noise like the fan is hitting something. Sent to this same mechanic and he ask me change the motor. Few weeks later, the same noise come back and I decided to send it to different mechanic. Upon checking only know that there's no problem with the fan, but the its the case mount problem(I think the mechanic say something about clips). Slot some span into the affected area and problem solved. Some more FOC, LOL This post has been edited by temptation1314*: Dec 31 2015, 07:59 PM

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	Got both of my front wheel bearings replaced days ago. It was quiet initially, but now the right wheel seems to be making some high pitched noise after some time of driving and I slow down to below 40KM/H. I'm suspecting it to be the bearing noise since it sounds like metal squealing. What could be the reason it's squealing? Defective bearing? Bad installation? Not enough grease packed into the bearing during installation? This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Jan 2 2016, 04:10 AM

ABS helps with braking, doesn't mean the temperature won't hike up.

It will help only if you're in a situation where the tyres don't have enough grip and lock up while braking. If I'm not mistaken, the Silverstone Kruizers aren't particularly famous for being that good anyway other than being relatively quiet compared to tyres around its range. Consider changing the brake pads and tyres. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Jan 5 2016, 03:25 PM

Got. Up to 195/65R15 if I'm not mistaken. So far so good. Quiet, but not enough to hide the fact that the Persona's soundproofing is not good. Its grip hasn't let me down so far.

Critical thinking Elite 10,015 posts Joined: Mar 2009 From: the future	Also, just did a DIY on the steering rack bushing. Passenger side bushing is really easy to replace. You will need to get under the car to pull the driver side's bushing out unless you have really good grip and strength and can pull it out from the top. The bolts that secure the metal plates of the bushings can be accessed from the engine bay with the air filter housing taken out. I'm not sure if it's the same for Personas with ABS though. . New driver side bushing was quite hard to get in because of the way it goes around the steering rack. Compared to the old one it is in the "D-" shape. " - " indicates the point where each end of the bushing meets. The ends of the old bushing meet at the top. Maybe it's just the driver side bushing I got that was designed like this. P/S: Old driver side bushing is as soft as tofu. Passenger side bushing is still ok. I went out for a short drive just now and the alignment seems to be unaffected.

Ceramic type? and price? BENDIX METAL KING bro, as my family business is selling spare parts, so i'm getting it on my cost price, if u really intend to try, pm me, gt plenty of stock good things must share, obvious changed not just the dusty part, braking systems seems to be more practical and secure, Metal King extend your disc rotor life span too

Rotor contributes to the noise too? I'm not really sure. rotor and disc brake if dust get into it, it will caused the annoying noise too....but if your rotor is cheap default one, you will still get some dust even though u changed to a better brake pads, it shows that racing disc rotor+racing disc brake seems to hv lesser or nearly zero dust compare to default parts

I did the change myself since I had a lot of space to work with, plus I wanted to save RM60. Since your car is the SV model, I think you will have to get underneath the car to get access to both of the bushings since the ABS module is located just above the passenger side bushing. If you don't have the tools and time, get the workshop to do it for you, and maybe get higher quality/performance bushings (e.g PU bush) while you're at it since you'll have to pay for the labour.

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.

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. This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: Jan 15 2016, 04:28 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,948 posts Joined: Jun 2007	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?
