Hello Everyone,
I would like to seek advice from you guys and gals on my proton iris. This morning when I went to work the A/C was not working, yesterday had no issue at all. So today I went to an A/C shop and the guy says compressor is okay, but you have no gas in the A/C and that there could be a leak.

He pumped in gas and asked if I am open to put in some liquid for the A/C and I allowed him to do so. The A/C is cool now but he foreman says he could not find the leak from the outside of the car. If its on the inside he would have to dismantle the dashboard to find the potential leak. The cost for todays "patch" was RM 120.00 for refill the gas and top up some a/c gas liquid.

My question now is has anyone faced this issue before? I am unsure how come suddenly A/C can suddenly sprung a leak when it was working fine the day before. I asked on what will the service entail, he said change some valve, some cooling coil and filter along with labour and refill back the gas. Slightly below Rm1000.00

Any suggestions ?

Why is the 2014 Iriz radio antenna so long?! And anybody have any experience getting those shark fins off of Shopee to replace them?

Also any idea if the rearview mirror coming loose is a typical thing with the Iriz

Guys, sent my car to my regular mechanic and found a leak on the AC Condenser so getting it replaced.. I wonder how does this things leak. My first time on such an occurrence.
I know radiator leak can happen due to chip, corrosion or accident.

Expensive weekend...
However finally fixed my AC...
Replaced Cooling Coil with some valve inside the car. Dashboard has to be taken out to be fixed. Also had my timing belt replaced along with the fan belt as recommended in the car service manual. Total damage RM1100.00

Hey guys, I'm sending my car for 60K service. Service center quote me almost RM800 but Proton website show less than RM550.

Should I just follow the service center quote? 💩

Rule of thumb: Get the itemized list of the service centre's quote and compare.

They usually throw in useless trash like whatever sanitizing mist, something something cleaner, someshit tyre cleaner, whatever donkey shit. bangwall.gif

I go there and tell them to usually just follow the website's list, unless there are things that really require repair/servicing like aircond or broken parts.


FYI: There's been a few changes in terms of maintenance interval by Proton, you can see the difference by comparing your service booklet and the website. The website is always correct.

Hi bro, any idea if Active LED lights are plug and play onto lower tier Iriz? Eg the Executive version?

I like the LED but I dont like the SUV style body. Just wonder how much will it cost and will Proton service center help to buy the parts and install it?

Nice, do you have any idea if the LED bulb can be changed to another brand?

I remember when I look at dealership there no hole where you can cabut out the bulb unlike the halogen version.

When I look at the shopee link u gave also the same too, seems like the bulb is not replaceable easily

That new iriz/persona wheel design is hnnnghhh. Too bad its 16 inch. Hard to find used one ohmy.gif

Dear All,

Have you guys notice that the Trip A and B meter will not continue the numbering after 999.9km and will jump back to 0.0km, it is just me facing this "issue" or it is consider normal? If it is unusual, how to reset it so it can continue after 999.9km.

Best Regards
