Hi guys,

my dad just bought a 2007 Persona (high specs dual airbags, ABS,EBD, steering wheel controls 1.6L S4PH) for himself without telling me, to replace his 1997 Proton Wira 1.5L Carb 4G15P that's been plagued with many problems over the years.

Car looks great given its age. By doing research, this car engine variant got problems by its torque dip with the low-medium speed. My dad drives slow in city driving, but goes 80-100kmps during highway long distance drive.

Overall is it still a great car? I also don't wanna break my dads heart since he likes the car so much.

Bought it for OTR price RM18K

yeah I test drive the IAFM SE Unit last time, I also feel its much more responsive and lower speed. Bro, thanks for your honest opinion. Hope ours can be as reliable as yours.

Just feel abit of regret not getting the SE unit instead. Because got cruise control & IAFM engine. But the unit we bought the interior condition much better.

you're right. I regretted doing that.

Persona front speakers can fit max what size ah?

6.5" can?

do you guys use normal tap water or coolant for the car??

it seems like everyone I know uses tap water. Even mechanics just pour tap water inside my car during service???

Ok distilled water I can buy from petronas. Coolant got any recommendations?? What ratio should I put?

If now I check my radiator the liquid is brownish in color means got rust right, what do I do first??

My Proton Person SE 2008 got one squeaky noise coming from the back whenever go thru bumps +uneven places.

Any idea where its from other than the metal hooks for the back seats?? thats already taped long time ago. Gosh its so f annoying

anyone can help?

seems like from boot area

Back speakers what size for the bracket? Is it 6.5".


If so, is it possible to install 6x9 size speakers without cutting or modfying anything?

Is it normal sometimes when off the persona engine. The doors all wont automatically unlock?

Any sifu knows whats this?

guys,

my second hand persona always stuck at first bar or below (70c & below).

I suspected thermostat is spoiled or removed. Brought to mechanic, really removed. So installed balik.

Now temperature still loitering around first bar, but will never go below, will go slightly up a bit (70c>75c I think). Is it normal optimal temperature for persona?? Because my close friend driving a persona as well, his one is one and a half bar.

All sifu pls help

my temperature is like this.




Is it ok?

it should be higher temp like u said 1 and half bar. im owner of persona too. but with the thermostat removed still able to make it at normal temp less than 2 mins

when my thermostat removed / installed back also max that temperature.

According to my mechanic, he said could be sensor problem. But asked me to ignore since thermostat is installed already, it will reach optimal temperature. If thermostat faulty, it confirm overheat. So its working fine.

I really see ALL personas is like 1 and a half some near 2. Mine is usually 1 and sometimes go a LITTLE bit higher than 1 only.

What you think bro

Before change was the temperature abnormally low?

Mine with / without thermostat the max temperature not really much difference just hotter a bit with thermostat. But with thermostat its rather obvious you can see the temperature will rise up more quickly in the morning as compared to no thermostat.

So I think the sensor just inaccurate not like totally not working at all.

wow you travel very short distance.

I highly recommend Dunlop SP J5. For me its the best bang for buck tyre.

For my Proton Persona SE's meter got few lights worn out already, it keeps blinking and very dimmed compared to other lights.

I went to accessories shop, they told me can't change the bulb because its sealed inside? if wanna change need to change WHOLE meter.

Can anyone clarify this?? hmm

some of the lights at my meter cluster are already WORN OUT. Some of the lights is flickering nonstop & pretty annoying. Went to some accessories shop to change the light bulb, but was told that the bulbs are all SEALED together inside the meter. Unable to remove, and if wanna fix I need to change the ENTIRE meter.

Any advice on how to solve this problem? If cannot change how I always see those ah beng mod their meter light colours to other colours like blue / red etc???

thanks bro. You got any other recommendations around Subang / Sunway / Kota Kemuning / Putra Heights area?

I really feel my Proton Persona SE front especially very LOW. When go through those rock areas, always it will chip my front bodykit paint.

Any ideas how to make my car (front) higher? Cant change to adjustable absorbers as my absorbers just changed not long ago.

Will changing the springs do? If change, will it impact/affect anything like speed, picku- & FC?
