Difficult to crank from day 1. At first thought battery getting weak, but no. I can struggle to crank for months or even more than a year, after it says low batt. So i just keep driving until i cannot start it anymore or when it reaches 2.5 years and i suddenly dun wish to get stranded at unknown area, so i drove to varta and trade in for a new batt
*
Should've replaced the battery under warranty

Heavy vibrations on steering for mileage almost 100k km. Normal?

At what mileage the engine mounting gets changed?
*
When idle?
When braking?

When idle, gear at N or D also can feel vibrations.
No braking issues.

Check out (1PC) PROTON IRIZ NEW PERSONA VVT FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSH (PREMIUM QUALITY) for RM18.00 - RM30.00. Get it on Shopee now! https://shp.ee/5n3jk3q.

Why not just get a whole lower control arm?
Pressing out the bush is already another rm30-50 at engineering

Yes, I'm looking at replacing entire lower arm.

But even SC have no stock.

Not sure if pressing the bush out method works or no. Cause I heard it will not be as good as entire new arm
*
If you're in KV just go to proton parts in Glenmarie.
Bought it and brought it to SC before when they said need to wait weeks.

else shopee

Radiator coolant. 2016 maintenance table showing 90,000km interval.

Latest maintenance table showing 30,000km interval and SC using this.

Is there a change in the coolant type in SC that now last only 30,000km?

Which interval to use?

Lots of persona/iriz having issues with rusty coolant

Yeah, will probably do that then, save time and money on delivery. Will probably check the local store first.
When I went for my first service (100k), the guy actually topped from a waterring jug. The place had those windows, so when I saw I told the SA, and he said it was ok. I'll probably get a bottle of coolant on stand by the on my next visit to the SC. Or can we mix different types/brand of coolant?
During my last service the SA told me can wait till the next service (1 year). Probably not a bad idea doing outside, since can save time spending in the SC.

Thanks for the input!

Just do rotations outside, balancing too
Every 6 months

My partner Kena scam by an SC, paid for balancing but when I drove her car after 2 weeks/1k km (we're PJJ)
steering vibrates at 90kmh. Told her that she has tyre balancing issues, true enough she did

30g on one of the tyres +- 10/20g on the other.
Won't name and shame cos later LOD

The should check coolant condition even without your prompt

You can replace the bulb yourself, as the other ktard said, use a towel/tissue or glove

YouTube helps

Hi, yesterday my key fob (Premium MC2) suddenly cannot be used to unlock the car from distance (usually can), only can unlock by putting it closer to door handle.

I thought the culprit is low battery so I changed the battery. But the problem persist.

1. May I know what caused this?
2. I thought key fob use CR2032 battery but car manual suggest CR1620. So which one should I use?

have tried using 2nd remote?

maybe antenna receiver was disconnected or weak car battery

Still relatively new to the car field and rn desperate need a car because my wira got too much problem and decided not to fix.

I agree but my budget is roughly around 50~60k, which is either myvi or persona.
But since have to wait dunno how long for myvi might as well go for persona hence i ask the question.
*
Maintenance wise, myvi abit cheaper.
It's more fuel efficient
But less comfy for long distance

But both use CVT now. Just need to change driving style
i.e. don't just step on acc after changing gear

I would suggest to test drive it
My sis recently picked up the premium 2 months ago. no issues.
Upgrade from Gen2

I have a question on the driving style since I'm coming from manual gear driving style, i.e. step on the accelerator  biggrin.gif

Whenever I fully stop at T-junction and want to go out, I step on acc and the car just won't go! And I need to brake cos oncoming cars are already near.

Any help is appreciated  notworthy.gif

Dunno, my partner from manual persona to the new cvt
Not really an issue for her transition

if preve time need to release brake first then can press throttle

but the new persona needs less time. Generally with cvt you need to change your habit just bit

Had similar issues & also rattling sound from passenger side dashboard.

Sent to Glenmarie SC for rectification & service. They told me at A pillar side got some components free play, so they fixed it back & apply foam tape at some areas.

2 days driving the car since then. So far no more noise. Hopefully it last
*
That's all that needed to fix it?
