My 3rd brake light give up on me after 6 years. Anyone know much does it cost to get it replaced?

DAMN IT. Brake light failed and then my check engine light is on for no reason, the car can move just fine.  dry.gif

Change T15 bulb at sc( Do not use no brand china bulb), or fuse putus (search stop lamp). But if inside cracked dy better change whole lamp under rm80. Im a 6 years persona vvt owner, after 6 years the lamp internal holding the bulb already berkecai.The material used was low quality thin plastic, causing the bulbs drops out and the lamp not fitted in place. Good job proton before geely.
Ya if the third brake light failed, will show engine light with the famous scary durian sign.

any checklist for my fren to check before start ?

Battery voltage must be atleast 12v, after start must be atleast 13.2v. Fuel enough, fuel pump fuse not putus. But 6 months never crank, the battery maybe already dry.

just encounter this yesterday, after toll, stopped at road side, double signal on, gorstan for about 50-80m, switch off car, shortly after 5mins or so, start the car back.

then my ecu display gong, rpm not moving, engine light on, ECS light on, handbrake light on. center info all frozen.

kept going for quite a distance like normal. then found a chance, stopped the car, switched off car, restart back then everything backed to normal.

scares me, maybe battery abit weak also contribute to the problem maybe?

Hi bro, mind to share did this problem happens again after your incident? It's really caused by a weak battery? Im 2016 persona cvt owner, same problem happens to my car recently quite often. Send to different SC twice can't detected problem, happens in the morning after droves 1km, after restart no problem for the whole day. I using a amaron hi life 1yr + plus battery which enough power for easy crank start. I find the car scary and not safe to drive, im planning to sell the car soon.

Hi everyone, would like to ask anyone here changed their fan belt and timing belt? Can advise how much does it cost. I am going to reach 80k and am contemplating changing it on my next service at 90k car service. Thanks.
*
Proton sc rm650 timing belt, fan belt rm90. Change engine oil service together prepare rm1k. Outside buy part yourself around rm300, labour rm200+. Better go proton sc to avoid improper assembly, make appointment. Atleast 3 hours works.
First change 90k km maybe ok dun go beyond 100k km. Second change should do before 160k km. If the timing belt snapped in the middle of drive, will cause atleast few thousand to repair.

Long time no lepak here..just to share an experience..
Today car breakdown at RnR..push start button not working, brake paddle very hard to push..then suspect the battery as last changed is January 2020..So changed a new one, also same..after some try push gear paddle to N, its starting..so not battery i guess.look like gear stuck or something to do with it ..

Then arrived home, cant push the gear to P..ahhhh.after trying 2-3 time suddenly can..check with my brother in law whose mechanic, he say something to do with the gear paddle / shifter..to confirm has to open the console and see 1st..as it night already , so another day laa to open and see ..

Just to give credit when its due ..
The old battery is Amaron Go..good endurance..it lasting almost 4y..perhaps can be push further hahaha..
However had to use another brand because most shop close today..

Hi do u get the problem solved? Brake switch problem? Happens to my persona vvt before it was caused by brake booster vacuum hose cracked and leaked.

My Iriz (1.3 CVT 2015 model) encountering this issue where the ESC light suddenly comes on while driving and totally lose acceleration power. Tekan minyak but engine no response. Need to restart engine then everything back to normal.

Went to Senaxis service center for checking, they didn't manage to fully check today (too many customers) so they ask me to go back again. But currently they suspect is issue with gearbox. Roughly what they said is when I go back they will:

1. Check gearbox condition by looking for metal shavings/dust in the gearbox and see condition of gearbox oil
2. If gearbox issue, they will need to do oil levelling and clutch adaptation.
3. If the clutch adaptation does not work, then GG cos the process will cause my car to totally not moveable and will need to change gearbox. Around RM10k for new ori gearbox, RM5k for recon.

Point 3 is the thing that concerns me. I googled and saw that clutch adaptation is apparently a basic process that is supposed to be done everytime there's a change of gearbox oil. But according to them it sounds like some major risky process that can totally destroy my gearbox. 

I'm planning of going to another service center for a second opinion to make sure I'm not being played.

Anyone has any advise or encounter similar issue before? Thanks in advance.
*
My persona 2016 kena the same, symptoms starts after 150k+ km release brake from complete stop the car won't move forward. Go SC change cvt oil/ filter clutch adaptions the car working fine until 160k+ km. Then every morning drive around 1 km the car will free gear with esc, brake, cvt light comes out, restart can drive 1 whole day no problem but next day problem come back. Went 3 different sc paid to clear the error code but couldn't solves problem.

The scanned dtc problem code is P01765 secondary pulley low pressure, being asked to change the gearbox rm4000(recon) rm9000(new) or sent the gearbox to overhaul rm5000. Didn't proceed as worry spend few thousands couldn't solves problem. Eventually problem solves by changing the cvt oil again and putting in x1r cvt treatment, but the problem not completely solves as sometimes the cvt logo and engine light will comes out but no more scary middle drive free gear problem.

The root of the problem either the clutch plate inside the gearbox or the cvt clutch damper flywheel lost grip ady. If u read the iriz or persona vvt facebook community, a lots of owner kena the same problem. That's why new saga proton change back to conventional 4AT gearbox which cheaper to change atf oil more frequent to prevent gearbox failing.

Hi, i wanna ask question to all.

Recently my car kaput during driving on highway at speed limit 100-110kmh, car just die and wont start, so i slowly moved to emergency lane while the car is still moving.

After towed to certain shop which i familiar with, they checked Fuel Pump and crankshaft sensor, which both of it is working fine.

so my suspect is BCM/wiring RIP, anyone read or encounter similar case as mine? i towed back my car to my house as the shop doesn't do/check wiring and it's right before CNY.
Forgot to mention, the result of their investigation is that somehow my car doesn't produced spark required for combustion, it happen to all plug.
*
If all 4 spark plug, ignition coil working fine, It could be map sensor very dirty covered by oil gunk. Then check oxygen sensor, fuel filter. If got engine light appeared, can use obd scan to get the exact problem.

the problem is as i mentioned it before, zero error code.

Already tested the coil, it's good, test injector it's good, fuel pump it's good.

compression test is not great however all of them got compression ( 8/10/12/12 )

so now i towed to reliable workshop to do proper checking on everything. finger cross, intake valve RIP instead of piston RIP, i can't rebore anymore, bore too big already.
*
If your car mileage high like >150K km like my car (close to 190k km), It could be intake manifold/map sensor too dirty covered by gunk. Install an oil catch tank between the hose from engine cover to intake manifold side will help the car runs smoother. High mileage car with worn piston rings will creates too much blowby that will oil gunk the spark plugs too.

yes, seems ori tho. haaaih. check the plug, the burn mark as intended.

Maybe not tight enough? I ask my bro check my tightening, he still can make 360 hahaha..

I now still have issue with fc, now it can go below 8l/100km but not way reaching my best record of 7.2l/100km on my routine road.
*
Persona vvt 190k+ km mileage best record 6.9l/100km now 8.3l/100km. Before using proton sc spark plug 8.0l/100km, now using ngk laser iridium bought from amaze sparepart shopee become 8.3l/100km but throttle more response and slightly more powerful. Try ngk g-power platinum before 7.8l/100km but eventually got unstable idle problem after 12k+ km using, spark plug tip oily black covered by carbon.

I also installed spark plug diy, hand tight turn to end then use wrench to turn 3/4 according to the instructions on the ngk box . But eventually very tight after slightly over 1/2 turned. I dun force to tighten more scare later thread at crankcase get wear.

Normal/platinum ngk must be made in Malaysia, iridium assembled in Thailand. Those wrote made in Japan sold under rm200 definitely fake.

I need help. My Iriz 1.6 CVT 2015 has some aircond problem. After top up the refrigerants, it could only lasts for max of 2 weeks, then it'll be very empty. Confirm leak but I don't know where, got some suspect la. I found some oil dripping from the hose drain down at the engine bay, looks like it came from the cooler assembly.

For reference, I just changed the condenser and cooling coil last year, and just a month back I just changed the hose going from the condenser to the compressor cause found some evidence of leak there.
*
O ring small leak gas still can lasted at least 1~2 months after top up full. Find the source of the dripping oil using clean tissue, if gas only lasted 2 weeks should be discharge hose bocor dy.

update on this.

found a decent-ish gearbox specialist workshop.. did overhaul for 3.5k..
fingers crossed can last me at least another 150k km without issues.

Brief info about my iriz:
Age: 9+ years old, 420k km. Timely-ish service. Car rented out for ehailing. Every 2~3 months clocking 10k km..
- cvt gb kong 1st time @ 145k km, claimed under warranty.
- cvt gb kong 2nd time @ 415k km, did overhaul.
*
Wow 420k km mileage really not bad, already worth back the money dy.
Gearbox problem P01765 secondary pulley pressure too low ?
Car free gear at middle drive with cvt, brake and car slip logo came out right?
This punch cvt was a failed product since the saga flx, i hope persona/iriz if still got facelift change to aisin 4at like saga.

My thought the cupid is the proton cheap copper spark plug with poor anti fouling ability. Perodua or toyota new car default already gives u denso iridium so no hard start problem with push start.

Hi, sorry I didn't see your post. But I saw in another thread that you've settled it by overhauling the gearbox.

Just to update my situation so that it helps anyone else who might also be encountering the same issue.

Yes, it's gearbox issue that's apparently very common for Iriz and Persona CVT. Seems like inevitably every CVT Iriz will encounter this issue? Because basically it's wear and tear of the belting and parts inside the CVT transmission gearbox. My friend's Iriz also encountered this issue.

I also got mine overhauled; for RM4.5k including labour and transmission fluid with 1 year warranty from Summer Auto Transmission. Took a total of 11 days.
*
Error code P1765 secondary pulley pressure too low, all the punch cvt kena the same after high mileage. Worst more often kena to saga flx cvt, second hand value rm12k nobody wants. Proton should end production of car using punch cvt, is a failure product. Once got clutch slipped, it will triggered traction control and pandai2 help u to free gear in the middle of drive.

Any brand car gearbox will have problem if don't service the gearbox oil, once got jerking symptoms need to straight away change the gearbox oil + treatment as maybe gearbox filter already clogging and fluid not entering the valvebody to create enough pressure.

Sad case is for this proton punch not cheap, cvt fluid + filter + adaption rm500+. Like my old 1st gen persona, once got jerking problem just buy 5x rm30 atf oil paid tyre shop rm50 gaotim. If not 100% settled problem pun the car won't free gear at middle drive like this st*pid punch cvt.

Hopefully I can get a good price at Carsome.

Want to estimate price but lazy go carsome, there's 1 formula. Go to carsome website find your car model similar spec and year then minus 40% from their retail price will be around that.

If want less gb or engine problem car, buy toyota. Vios or altis very seldom kena before 200k km of mileage.

Nowadays if a car can served > 8 years or >180k km considered not bad dy. By the time eventually some parts like engine mounting, ignition coil, fuel pump, absorber lower arm, air cond cooling coil, radiator already reached lifespan. For proton somemore need to takecare 90's tech timing belt. If sekali kena engine or gearbox problem rm4~5k overhaul each, ultimately better sell off the car for the sake of peaceful mind rather than a no ending problemactic car that brings u miserable life.

So end up no choice fork out RM4k for the repairs. Fortunately no issue 1 and half year later (touch wood).

True also rm4k only barely enough to buy a modenas bike. As long as the car don't have other bugging problems that cannot find solution then still worth to safe.
