Went for first service on 2/12 at HQ, issues including
1. Dashboard rattling
2. Radio volume high and low

Collected car on 6/12
1. I/P kit added in dashboard. Rattling solved
2. Reset radio system. Problem still there. They claimed it's the frequency of radio stations not accurate at certain areas and cause the problem.
3. Engine oil used is the new Syntium 800 SE. FOC also, 3 yrs free service and labour.

I wanna solve the radio issue, can I go to another service centre and claim warranty? Or must I wait for the 10k service? If I remember, someone claim a new antenna and problem solved.

One good thing they did is, they hide my dashcam cable into the A pillar and doorstep, which I didn't ask them to do it. A proactive move.

Did they give you any car to use, while your car is in the service centre, wanted the rattling issue to be solve but I don't have any extra car to use sad.gif


@[zero5177] The video promise you while back, forgot to post it. Sorry for the shitty quality and also the shitty after incident shiver xD

That after incident shiver  thumbup.gif

You did this purposely? I corner quite hard but the car just planted on the floor... not sure should feel happy or sad  tongue.gif
*
I used to corner 100~110 at this one, but it was raining and also the road is quite slippery I guess. If it was normal day, can take the corner smoothly. Clinched my butt quite hard on this one though.

I didn't ask for courtesy car. I don't know whether they provide or not tho, maybe you can give them a call and ask before you go

How the ESC is activated? Did you turn the steering much more to the right when you realise it's understeer? Did you step on brake before it's activated? Thanks
*
I can't remember much of what happened the other day, what I known once the car understeer, i release the gas pedal, brake a lil bit try not to lose control. ESC light is turn on while this happened.

Torn between the 2016 Persona and Iriz. Wanna get it for my folks (100% town) and I would use it to travel to work (90% highway 10% jam). What are the pros and cons between these two hot babes? From what I read is that the pros are its really good in the NVH, handling & ride department, fun to drive and its hot. While the cons are the usual rattling sound from dashboard, fuel smell after fueling up (Iriz, not sure Persona has it or not), HU sotplak etc.

I understand that usually people would wait for the cars to be 'matured' in the market and it will be more refined. As I am not desperately in need of getting the new car, what would all the sifus here advise?

I shall post this same question in the Iriz thread for feedback from the owners there too.

Thanks a lot.
*
From look Iriz is far more suitable for youth, while persona basically fit with any age. Saw an old couple drive an iriz, well atleast the look younger xD.

Anyone tried achieving 5.7l/100KM real time count? tried it this week, seems achieveablle but too much hassle. Need to limit your foot and become absolutely light footer, driving with the eco indicator turn on even at the first gear XD. My Persona clocked at 6K today, another months or 2 will need to visit SC I guess.

My best by far is 6.3L/100km or 15.80km/l with around 20% city drive
5.7L/100km is 17.54km/l

By the way mine is just 3k mileage, the mileage seems to be improving after each fuel up
*
Yeah mine also can reach that kind of figure 16KM/l at best if I'm not mistaken. Next week will try to become light footer again, see can reach 17KM/l or not.

Hello sifu sifu,

Persona suitable for cari makan as uber or grabcar?

Even axia can become uber, no doubt Persona can also. Big boot space + decent comfortable ride, can become great taxi already biggrin.gif

Guys I experience something weird.

When I was on Highway I was keeping pressure on my accelerator, supposely it will maintain speed or accelerate. But at one point the car suddenly like slow down decelerating. I was so panic, even if I press harder on accelerator also keep dropping speed. Then I release the pressure and reapply pressure back. Then only everything back to normal. =.=ll

Any advice?
*
If this happened again. kindly visit SC to rectify this issue afraid your accelerator might at fault. Mind to share wish transmission are you on?

Seems like I'm not alone... did gone through Iriz thread and read about this... it seems like the Aircond cooling coil grow mold that cause these Odor... I tried some simple fix by spraying Dettol Spray at the air intake located at the black stripe below the wiper with my air cond fan at full speed and recirculation mode off.

It does helps bring down the odor, but wasn't completely... maybe because I spray too little  sweat.gif
I just follow this video... except that I only spray like less than 3 seconds... will do more next time  thumbup.gif

Weird, this kind of mold shouldn't have happened for a car new like this. Even my old Saga BLM doesn't have this issue.

Hello folks,

The first service not necessarily within one month right? Because my car's mileage doesn't exceed 400km as of now. Based on the warranty booklet, it only indicated the mile age of 1000km for the first service, but not the period.
*
1000KM or 1 month, which one came first. Just follow throughly.

how to turn on follow me home lamp?
after service my fc is rm15 only able go to 50-60km before blinking again (town area).
it seems FC stated on meter not accurate .. mine show 7L/100km ..
*
Mine clocked at almost 7K KM right now, fuel consumption is around 14KM/l ~ 16KM/l. If anything don't blindly follow the meter cluster. It's not accurate at all. Manual calculation is the best way to go.

Not sure is placebo effect or what, I do feel the low end torque is now better, soft acceleration is much more linear. All they did is replacing brake switch... will confirm again... last time what they did to your car to have that power delivery improved?

Windnoise they ordered a new part but not yet arrive, so they haven't fix this...

Dashboard rattling need take few days to test because its on and off.. so far no rattling noise

Aircond Odor seems reduced a lot... but not completely... all they did is adding a sponge as described in the description...

And too bad I don't get to meet the foreman for further explanation on what he did to rectifying those issues.

And yeah... free car wash  rclxm9.gif
*
Placebo xD, 1 week didn't use your car for sure the feeling is different. What they did just change the engine oil and some tweak here and there, they didn't mention anything though, they're quite busy at the time but sometimes later the power drop came back. Guess as the proton's engineer says they already set something like etc. Kindly update though, i Don't know whether it's worth it to send my car to SC for 1 week but came back with the same problem exist. Waste of time tbh.

QUOTE(ekudz @ Jan 21 2017, 09:06 PM)
if old proton yupe i understand about the high fc .. but proton promoting eco drive lah .. more economy fuel la .. but still a disappointment ..
currently my mileage almost reach 4k .. what can i see after 1st service ..
if fill up 10liter petrol / rm21 ron95 .. i able to reach around 100-120km in city driving ..
*
Mine is mix around 70% highway 30% city. Everytime i fuel up RM50 = 23.8l ron95, manage to squeeze 380~400KM out of it until the refuel light blinking. I don't know about you though but mine is manual and i always drive with eco indicator on ie even at first gear xD

Yeah... could be placebo... need more drive to confirm this especially I didn't do hard acceleration yesterday

I didn't change engine oil, I purposely sent there for them to solve my rattling issue and wind noise... since already sent the car so I also add in other small stuff that bother me

First time utilizing full page of the invoice description  rclxm9.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I'm actually predicting many request will be treated as "Normal condition" but to find out they actually go ditch out 1 by 1... really kudos to the SA and their team

thanks for sharing the invoice. Many things wor you ask to fix, glad free service xD
