Guy. I think I need to share this.

Yesterday, my eco idle battery gave itself up! I just parked by the roadside, went to my daughter's school to pick her up, shut down the car for about 10 minutes only, and when I came back to the car, tried to start it but no good.
Just the gekgekgek trrrrrttt sound.

I take a look at my volt meter(its a mobile phone charger with car voltage display. brand is remax. quite good. can get it for RM35) My power is at 12.4v.  Should be good enough to start the car. But still can't start at all.
I've also monitored my volt during eco idle. my car will start when the volt is dropping below 12v. and during startup it will go down to 0.9v and up to 13.7v when running.

Ok back to the time I can't start the car. So I give a call to perodua assist and then the tow truck guy came and jump start my car. (response time is around 30 minutes. Good Job!) only one crank(actually one push start hehehe),
It came alive

Then I drove to my favorite service center to ask them to check on it. From the inspection, it was confirmed that my battery died already.  The warranty for the eco idle battery is only for 12months or 20,000km (it was stated in the manual!).
My mileage is already 27k so can kiss goodbye for a free replacement. The SC guys quoted me for RM480 for a new M42 idle start stop battery. But they says they can also install to me a cheaper NS40 perodua battery for RM195.  But eco idle will not work he says.  Since I'm poorfag, so I opted for the NS40.

Guess what, Eco idle still works but not as long as before. Around 10-30 second. Very annoying.

Few tips or sign that your battery will die soon.
1) Your eco idle is not working as frequent as before.  It takes sometimes before you get the green eco idle indicator again not like when you bought it new.
2) during startup, the eco idle light indicator will turn yellow and keeps flashing few times after startup.  its like a final sign. In happens to me for around 5 days before the battery die.
3) your milage is above 20k. mine gave way at 27k. quite good.
4) you can ask the pomen to check your battery during service. I got my 20k service at 23k. He warned me that my battery charge is low and please be ready. he says.

I think thats. All.  And also, I found out, you can always purchase NS40 at other shop for waaaay cheaper price than perodua.  But I scared to take the risk if any problem arise that will void my warranty.

also, one final thing, the battery M42 in the internet got 2 prices. 1) Yuasa Eco, selling RM385(carbattery.com.my 2) Varta. RM320(lelong.com.my)

U neee to know bezza using aluminium block.. so doing grab uber using stock p2 eo. It will burn oil faster. Wear and tear also increasing so fast.. that why sound from engine is loud...thats my opinion

So use Shell fully synthetic engine oil is good choice? Since Shell provided 12 years / 200,000km warranty.

How much to change the hydraulic engine mount ?

Just want to know the cost beforehand. need to prepare for any eventuality.

What was the mileage?
Roughly..
Need to be prepared for this too..

I see..
Thanks for the clarification.
And the bezza engine get surprisingly hot..
From my experience la..

Update: Drove to work and it resolved itself, possibly an interference issue? All my doors were tight, hood, boot.

its suv cousins
its like our toyota rush or the daihatsu terios in indonesia.
alot different from the old kembara that we had that did high rpm for low kmh.

just seen from auto site said that bezza will have facelift this year

i think possible , new bumper , new headlight , esp across range , new smarttag reader etc

but as what i know from axia was bringing top spec thing down for lower spec , example headlight of axia. ( now all using projector headlamp )

not quite good to heard this , but i still want to share out so that those who plan to buy a bezza maybe should wait awhile more.

Atf fluid at 20k is ok in my opinion.
This is an auto after all and not a manual.
I did mine at the 10k interval.
Cos that's when there's the most metallic dust/filings but they only manage to just drain the fluid in the sump.
Better than nothing.
Spend some money now to not spend much more on repair bills later on.
I actually wanted to change enjin oil at the 5k interval but seeing that I only did 2k plus km at that interval, and the oil looked still newish  I just let it go..
I understand that money is hard to find, but looking as I might keep the car for kids to use, long term maintenance/longevity  requires short term spending.

Ah.. Yes that's the word.. Preventive.
My memory is failing me..
Words that I seldom use is fading away...
Thanks for making me recall!
And yes, the atf  could not be fully drained as that would have needed a full tyranny disassemble.
Don't get me wrong, i am only doing this for the 1st 5k km change. I will revert back to normal service intervals after this 1st change.
In my mind, I'm not very kind to the tyranny as I do row the box quite often..
Meaning I manually change gears, some times all the way to 2nd gear and force an acceleration..
And drag the engine sometimes till 5k rpm.
That's why my milage is at 11.5km/L

i was thinking also , but certain bigger car also have these problem.

i dont think so , it will increase the area of side wind . not sure thou because it will also reduce wind go under .

but i think will not affect much with any changes , it was the design of the car .

all these need accurate and real wind tunnel test to know what to change . ( only perodua engineer know )

cant believe a drag coefficient (cD) of 0.286 car will have such effect haha

maybe perodua can include Mercedes technology haha , but my variant dont have esp .

not , it was like piston running with not enough fuel and slight knocking sound , ya knocking sound to be accurate , since this engine compression ratio were consider high 11.5. ( i dont like high tech engine ( cost wise  ) , mazda engine goes up to 14:1 + direct injection , need to be more careful when using these high tech engine , it was better to know it well and you know what sign show what etc. )
