Common issues:
1) OCH
2) Short engine/transmission mounting lifespan

Issues to look out for:
1) CVT failure
2) Turbo failure

Engine is normally very reliable, and the Turbo will be reliable if the owner has had the car serviced regularly and with decent engine oil as a minimum.

CVT failure is not super common, but it could happen especially if the previous owner can't adapt to a clutch based CVT, if the CVT is always heavily stressed by aggressive acceleration at low speeds and etc.

I would like to add is the radiator fan wiring harness. Mine seem to last only 3 yrs. No joke experiencing your car overheat in the middle of traffic jam. The other unfortunate thing might happen is the aircond condensor oil leak kena batu at bullet speed rclxub.gif cause it situated in front the car just right behind the grille.

Have you ever done any form of throttle/turbo cleaning with e.g. Threebond? Do you have an Oil Catch Tank (non re-circulating set-up) installed? If it's no to both, then get both of them done. First one will get rid of the gunk in the turbo unit, intercooler and throttle body if you spray Threebond through the Turbo. Second option will (or should) stop oil from collecting in the turbo and subsequently the intercooler and throttle body. Especially good if you like to go heavy on the throttle.

Bro, can you please recommend a good and reliable workshop for me to get this done? Thanks in advace

As long as your car under manufacture warranty, just claim the rubber hose.

Anyone replace their cvt damper yet?

the CVT damper is it a recall? or an option for us to pay for the current one to be replaced?

Not sure when they started it. You can call COSE with your chassis number to confirm if yours is included. I asked about mine when I went there, and mine requires replacement too. They did not send me any SMS, so if you want the new just call or walk in and ask.

Preve which year? Ask specifically about CVT damper and see what they say.

Hi everyone.

Newby here. Is there somebody who bought 2017 Suprima S? 'Cause I want to ask an honest opinion/review etc regarding Suprima S 2017 version. Recently I just came across an ad in Mudah.my selling a showroom edition of Suprima S (mileage 5k) at 43k MYR? Is it the best buy for me, considering the price point which is now lower than 50k, as the price is my main concern here as I just newly employed and a fresh grad as well. Planning to buy a new Persona but as monthly, it will cost me around 550MYR and above so I want to opt for a better option, which is Suprima S I believe due to its outstanding safety features.

And I would glad to know if there's anybody here could share the annual maintenance cost as well as the FC for city driving. Well, working in Penang, to face a heavy traffic is kinda like a norm.

So that's it, I do really appreciate all the comments review etc. Wishing everyone a very nice day and thank you very much.

Hi, the mileage 5K is a lie... the odometer mileage 100% altered.

most likely its a used company car by proton cose.

you must bring the car registration plate number to proton service center and check.

Don't buy unless you have lots of money to pay for fuel and servicing. Heavy jam means you'll probably only get over 300km or even less with 40L+ of fuel.

Persona has a good safety rating as well.

unless the seller is the proton SC, then you are safe Provided it have service record book. not those used car dealer claimed showroom car without service book.

Die Die must bring the plate number to SC check service record.
