Our persona spark plug is NGK Spark Plug LKAR7C-9. smile.gif

And the spare part price in first page is per unit. We need 4 unit so 4 X RM 12.75 = RM 51

Is everybody experienced the same thing? In hot sunny day, my aircon really struggling, have to turn to almost max cold & my back is still wet. Mine is premium with tint. But cold air is fast in the morning & at night.
On average, the cold adjustment knob is at 3 quarter mark.
*
Normal, I also experienced same thing in hot sunny need turn the temperature to coldest.

Rear torsion beam setup , and ride height taller than previous persona gen, sure flying . Add 19mm ARB should be reduce the body roll.

But the staff to me to add 16mm cause im using original absorber, 19mm is harder and will bumping, it that true?
*
I don't think so la. If bumping most like is because of absorber. But u one time invest on arb 19mms in future no need change from 16mm to 19mms if necessary.

hi guys. i just went to kulim proton centre just now, i saw the tire for the display car is goodyear. std model persona. is it new tire given by proton this year to replace silverstone? I asked the SA but it seems like she blur and say this is what the factory gives to all new persona.
*
Nope, depend on production year and months, and tyre stock. Usually they will clear all old tyre stock first if Silverstone still have plenty. Unless u get is newest batch production

Just collected mine today! Thanks Vincent for excellent service biggrin.gif

I’m contemplating if I should retint the car. It’s a solar+safety tint from SafeTint with 5 years warranty. Thoughts from older owner on the factory tint??
*
Erm the Safetint give u the specs is mid range product, so far so good for my ride. Once I got in my car don't feel very hot after putting it under sun for long period. I don't want spent so much on tinted. I will suggest u try put ur car under sun for a period and try whether satisfied u anot.


if u want Security + solar tinted will cost a lot if u want good tinted.

Forgot to update here that i hv collected mine 5 days ago. Thank you to my superb SA Vincent818 for his dedication and willingness to entertain of all my questions and rants (my car reached very late, don't know what happened at the factory, probably too much order and their process was messed up). Pls buy Proton car from him, he will give u good discount.

The experience with Persona is quite good so far:
- When idling the engine sound is barely unnoticeable, very quiet though.
- CVT delay is expected. Quite nervous to move from traffic light stops or Tjunction.
- And i got Goodyear tyres instead of Silverstone.
- no rattling sound from dashboard.
Many things i haven't test yet such as HU functionalities, decentralized door function etc.

However, sometimes i feel there is some wired sound such as:
1) after shut down the engine.. Something like tetetetetet... Which is from passenger side and steering side. Not sure if it is normal to persona or what.
2) when accelerating, sometimes the engine sounds very funny.. fan spinning sound like bibibibibi.. The sound is not that strong, But if I listen carefully, i will notice the sound. Not sure if this is common to Persona.

As such, i will pay my first visit to Proton SC this weekend. I hope this visit is a pleasant visit.

Its normal, the sound is from Canister Purge Valve
