Went for first 1k service yesterday at Puchong Jaya SC: 1. Complaint dashboard noise: left the car for 1 day there for them to install the IP noise kit. But result is same, not fixed. 2. complaint GPS no satellite signal: branch SC don't have software to calibrate sdcard(?), just ask me go to HQ 3. complaint passenger door has knocking sound when closing: not fixed 4. finally the only complaint they managed to fix: broken number plat light bulb conclusion: better go to HQ for major issues/complaints, those branch SC is good only for normal oil change I guess.

QUOTE(diversity @ Apr 17 2017, 08:13 AM) isnt that the previous campro IAFM engine? I thought the VVT engine everything is new including the block, pistons etc The new engine still using time belt instead of timing chain?From all the Persona drivers here, is it worth buying the Persona? In spite some of the complaints?
Can it be compared to the Perodua Alza?
Thanks

QUOTE(croydon @ Apr 18 2017, 03:20 PM) mine got 3 years free service worth more than RM2453, 5 years maybe worth more than rm3k Ya, it's stated in the leaflet 5yr free service and parts is worth RM4k++, that's why I complained to the sales agent, why rebate is less than 50% of the value. I guess it's their way of encouraging ppl to go service at Proton SC.

Plus, you won't be bringing any money come to sc

Thanks Campro VVT has an interval of 120k before changing the timing belt. You're comparing 2 different segment. Why not alza and ertiga?

SC puchong jaya, brought my own helix ultra last time bought at tesco but the guy say not allow. Normal city drive 5w 30 more fuel safe but drive long distances and frequently drive at hot day use thicker 5w 40 for more protection.

U can choose the free oil than change your own helix ultra oil urself.

Hi, after skimming reading the thread,
im interest to have persona.
However any modification will void warranty.
For example : "Anything that involves cutting wires will void warranty"
what warranty? all related items to will be void or just the affected parts which has been modified?
Because i intend to buy Persona CVT standard buy wanna to change to Executive Jadian or Premium Jadian. Please advise.

Oh... then sounds like they have also switched our free oil from the 10w 40 to 5w 30 automatically too? Let's see what they'll pour into my engine
