I suspect my wheel bearing got issue. The whirring noise getting louder.

How much price difference between SC and outside shop?

The sponge for the bolster on both my front seats are becoming very thin now, can feel something sharp poking through. If this goes on, I think the fabric will be torn.

Can take to any car seat shop to fill up with foam. It cost me about RM80 for my Saga BLM's side bolsters last time smile.gif

I see, thanks. Can I have the shop name? I got quoted RM160 per seat from the shop I asked sad.gif

Over 3 year? Didn't try claim?

My car nearly 5 years old already. I got enquire abt this but SC didnt allow claim.

Were you able to find out the cause of the tear?

Is the metal sharp or just poor sponge quality?
*
Perhaps both? The metal indeed felt quite sharp.
But the shop said this happens to other cars like myvi also, not only iriz.

I've fitted on my 1.3. It has a smaller base than 1.6. Yours is 1.3 / 1.6?

How’s the tyre?

If you’re going by year and mileage, usually 4 years is the max...mileage wise, there are wear indicators...whichever comes first...
I believe it should fit...but to be safe, measure then look for sellers that provide measurements...
*
I see most of them are around 75mm. I doubt it can fit.

Sorry dont know why the pic become terbalik.

Let me share what happened last week to my 7 year old Iriz.

At a long traffic light stop suddenly the gear lever became loose. It can slide to any position without any resistance. So after reaching to a parking spot, tried to put it at P and managed to but the dash is still showing D. The lever bacame stuck now P. Off the engine but cant turn it back on as I think it is still registering in D.

Towed to workshop. Then mechenic told me it's the gear cable issue. Dont know la snapped or loose or what. Got charged RM150 without changing anything (dont know la got slaughtered or not). He said that Preve had this issue.

Well hope it doesnt happen to anyone that is in a critical spot/situation.

Just to share.
*
I’d feel relieved to only see a RM150 repair bill. Glad that it’s a minor issue.

Mine is 1.6 Exec (2015), recently got my car washed at shop and somehow the one roof moulding rubber came off (another one came off while I was speeding and couldn't be bothered to replace it). I've replaced the original ones before, the second time they came off easily too. Is there any fix to make sure it stay put? Or maybe anyone can suggest where to buy new ones?  Thanks.

I have a similar problem, is there any fix? Also what do you call the plastic cap for the cigarette lighter? I lost mine and want to get a replacement
*
The fix is to bring to shop to get it resprayed. The whole part can be removed

Thanks! Would you say I go to official Proton shops or a random workshop?
Thanks! Any idea what the item is called?

Also I did the IP kit a while back for the dashboard rattling but I notice some times of the day e.g. under hot sun first start the dash will rattle. Is it worth getting those t-strips that are sold online that wedge between the windshield and dashboard?
*
I did at outside workshop that does paint spraying/ketuk.

QUOTE(botak91 @ Feb 4 2022, 11:55 AM)
Also is it possible to change the antenna to a sleeker one like a fin or a shorter antenna?
*
From my experience, quite hard to find shark fin antenna that fits the first version iriz
