the dashboard rattling sound really getting more and more serious, especially at the front passenger side. Anyone goes back to SC to get it fix? And does SC really fix it?
As i know need to put a few days in the SC to let them dissemble the dashboard.

this is my 4th month driving the car.

i installed the rubber seal a month ago. It did help at first but after some time driving, notice the noise did not disappear so conclusion is the noise does not comes from there. The sound doesn't comes from the dashboard hitting the windscreen. Moreover, the rubber seal will block the air duct blowing cool air to the windscreen. Just found out after installing it but i still keep it there though. The rattling noise comes from the space between the pillar and the dashboard. It's like the plastic constantly geser-geser with the dashboard. I believe the only solution for this is to dissemble the dashboard and put some sound insulation material between the dashboard and the frame but i rather not putting my car to SC... I rather spend some money outside with an accessories shop that i trust or i will just live with it.

It's a shame proton did not fix this even they know the problem from iriz. Such a good car with this rattling it's just so turn off the comfort.

no it's just a piece of rubber that can be taken out anytime.

actually this is still a good car, to be honest. I use my car a lot for uber. Even passengers (local and foreign) also praise this car for its comfort and nice design. Not kidding. They even surprised when i told them the price. It's just the best value of car that you can buy in the market.

handling is better for hatchback. The persona is too much on the height. So travelling high speed above 140km/h actually can feel that car a bit floaty but anyway, this car is not designed for that speed so if you want a fast car, this is not your choice.

usually around bukit jalil and the neighouring areas, mont kiara, city centre

sure bro. PM me. and i can share with you my knowledge.

sure can bro

Technically, semi syn oil best change at 5k- 7k.
Why Proton let you go back at 10k interval because the computer is already fixed to reset at 10,000km, cannot set to 5,000km So no matter what oil you use, is 10000km. Some service centre will do this: if they see you use semi syn they will give you another sticker to stick on your windscreen and ask you to come back at 5k. Actually they are good because semi-syn is really not designed to last long mileage. And if you tested the semi and fully in Persona, you will know the difference. Car is heavier in semi.

After my first service with fully syn, it was quite ok, then i decided to use my preferred oil on the second service. So on the second service, i ask for semi syn (since the counter told me it's 10,000km anyway because they can only set 10k in the computer regardless semi/fully) . I drove about 1000km on the semi syn and I already start complaining. I drove to a service centre outside, ask them to suck the oil out without touching the oil filter, then i change to my preferred oil. Drive becomes so smooth after that. No complaints now.

I wasted the RM100 semi syn oil but i don't care. I use my car everyday and i don't want to complaint about it.

sport spring? Looks lowered

Finally I fixed the rattling dashboard sound.
Using the excessed rubber seal, managed to stuck the rubber into the space between the dashboard and the small side window.
Now cabin is silent

At lazada, search for :

Quite cheap

But first you need to identify your source of the rattling sound.
Mine maybe different from yours

Download myproton app and book appointment. SC will call you to confirm. I use that app too. Less hasssle

I always go to chan sow Lin SC
So far OK. I don't expect a lot from proton SC actually.

I can select weekend no problem
But I guess If the showroom not open they will call you to reschedule after receiving your appointment booking.

I am looking at this for my next tyre.

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goodyear...e-Triplemax.htm

My experience with goodyear is quite ok. Used their UHP tyres (Asym 2), very satisfied.
Silverstone always not my choice.
Used Michelin PS3, performance slightly lower than goodyear assymetric 2 but price a lot cheaper than goodyear, but still provide excellent grip.

When i choose tyres, i don't choose those treadwear over 320. To me, a tyre wear out faster = grip the road better, safer.
This goodyear tyre has a treadwear of 320, not very high.
