I've been sending my 2017 Persona to Eon Glenmarie (previously known as) Proton Edar Glenmarie since 2017.

Their foremen are quite experienced & knowledgeable. Saved me a few times instead of relying from diagnosis of external workshops.

As usual, when they are good, there is a long line queuing for service.

I usually make appointment via app a few weeks prior.

If there is an urgent matter that is a safety risk, they will accept short notice or walk-in (in my case, since my car is a regular, the foremen & SA is more willing to do this).

About the "extra" product & services, I'm not sure if they do this to newbies or new customers. However, they already know who I am so they have long stop offering those to me. Only during my first year of ownership they tried to pull that stunt.

Now it has been 6 years. I'm still sending my car for service there.

Yes. Now known as EON glenmarie

I've similar experience regarding the mileage.

In my case, the FC got worst after upsize tire fitment, hence opt for engine retuning.

There is a drawback though. The latest engine tuning setup is geared for optimal fuel saving. Expect engine or transmission response to be less sporty than previous.

Yes. Proton Eon Glenmarie 3S. Previously it was known as Proton Edar Glenmarie.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm using 205/50R16. Definitely can feel the extra weight of the wheels.

Furthermore, the latest engine tune that I have updated, are tuned for fuel efficiency, so no more sporty driving dynamics.

Engine response is a bit sluggish.

My 6 year old car just happened to have this issue.

Battery is new. OBD reset already done after battery change.

Maybe need to change spark plugs during next service

I'm using FECC stainless steel braided brake hose with DOT4 brake fluid.

Only marginal braking improvement albeit reducing the dead travel significantly.

The key factor should be the brake pads & the tires.

Bought it at shopee. Been serving me well for the past 2 years.

I agree on the brake fluid. The proton one is also DOT4.

Thanks for the info. I will try that too in the next service

Just changed to my 4th set of brake pads (1. original proton, 2. TRW DTEC, 3. Brembo OE Replacement) to Trestor Advantage (Blue box).

After run in / bedding in at 300km, I can say this is the best brake pads I've used on this car, to date.

Better braking power & significantly less dust compared to TRW & Brembo.

I could not hear anymore the squealing noise after bedding in period, as expected.

Will update more as time goes on about this brake pad

I've been using 10W-30 semi for 5 years & later 5W-30 fully for 2 years.

Feels the same, honestly. Main reason for changing to fully was to extend oil change intervals. I decided to change engine oil based on mileage instead of time periods.

So, 10k km would take me roughly about 7-8 months instead of the normally recommended 6 months.

That could be the problem. I had a similar issue with my Saga FLX 1.6 SE.

Problem solved after that was replaced.

I would just leave the car with them if I were you. Let them check the car throughly.

Request for a courtesy car if possible.
