Just changed my 2nd set of brake pads (TRW Dtec) to Brembo OE replacement brake pads.

Significantly better than TRW. Immediately can feel the extra bite.

This could be my go to pads for this car

Engine light, esc light, handbrake light came out. Steering heavy.
Turn off then turn on engine, then ok. But will randomly appear again.
Go sc, sc say brake switch problem. Fb say is abs sensor (speed sensor) problem.

Let's see how.

I now got clunking metal plate sound if driving slowly.
And the same issue I've been having since day 1, tapping sound when engine rpm around 2.8k-3.1k.
Sc say all caused by driveshaft. I'm having my doubts, but see how ba. Replace driveshaft see can solve this issue that have been plaguing me.

I'm feeling dubious but they said they tested with another drive shaft and no more such sounds. Gotta take their word for it i guess

Which SC did you consult with?

2016 user here. That's quite common.

I got my coolant rust at about the 3rd year. Just change the coolant completely and u will be good for 2 years.

My idle has vibration as well. Is common among iriz and also persona. Is not really a big deal. Choose 3rd party parts like mounting king or muteki if u can find.

Another 2 year u will face engine cover gasket leak, which I got myself changed with parts and labour for rm120.

At what mileage do you expect to face these issues? Touchwood I never faced these issues before, even with the Saga FLX 1.6 SE I had before that had the same engine as the Persona elegance.

Thanks for insight. I did some digging around and some say the SC next to the kesas highway is ok, easy to claim warranty. I stay near shah alam.

For the reverse sensor/camera, I read about it too, but did not notice much lag during the test drive. Hopefully it has been resolved.

Main reason buying a new car is wanting to avoid sudden heart attack (unexpected repairs) in a second hand car. At least for 5 years not needed to worry too much.

I send my car for service at the EON glenmarie (used to be Proton Edar Glenmarie), been sending the car there for almost 5 years now. Although the service is a bit slow due to high number of cars, I like the foremen there, they are experienced in finding the root cause of any issues that my car has, even if some of them was caused by myself. Heheh

I installed the orange Bosch Evolution Fanfare horn, before. It only lasted for less than 3 months before kaput. Unfortunately the online seller didn't provide any warranty.

After that, I tried installing the grey Bosch Evolution Strider horn. Works well till now (more than 1 year dy). Sounds like a D segment car

I've been using 3 sets of 195/55R15 tyres already.

The tyre width will not extend over our car's fender.

Stock rim is 6j wide. It can fit 195 width profile

Proton doesn't have an updated metoo product in their portfolio.

Exora is just too outdated.

Upcoming X90 would be too upmarket.

Proton needs a new generation Exora to compete.

Hai sifus. I am driving an 2019 persona.
Past couple of months, I noticed that when I change gear from reverse to D, the car jerks and wobbles for a while.
So it happens when I just start my car, start to drive, and also if I reverse out from parking, then start to drive.
From my memory previously no such issue, likely just started recently.
This is normal for persona or is there something wrong? Thanks

Send to proton SC to check. This could be a transmission related problem.

I used T10 Osram LED bulbs.

The rest using C6 LED bulbs (low beam, high beam & fog lights)

Bought from Shopee.

The C6 LED bulbs need to be positioned correctly (vertically aligned) for optimum brightness.

Yesterday, changed my worn Maxxis Victra I-Pro 195/55R15 tires to Hankook Ventus Prime 3 205/50R16 tires.

Felt old, wanted to try quieter tire.

Finally the tire size fit the car body better. Proportions wise & also the tires are flushed perfectly to the side profile of the fenders
