Greetings,

Just wondering if anyone here is interested in letting go of their 1.6 MT premium?

If so do PM.

you might have to extract some out using a syringe with a plastic tubing from the dip stick area (when engine is cold).

I kid you not but even Proton HQ does this kind bs, which to me is unacceptable.

Proton or outside, you go to a place that does cincai job, you get cincai results.

Went to Proton B&P near CoSE and i tell you the kind of shit they do should be borderline criminal.

Hard to say which place will do a proper job without some decent reviews from one another but for me, enough of Proton's body and paint.

Some used cars come with warranty to cover such things. Do check.

In the event it does not, suggest you visit RBM Radiator Specialist https://g.page/rbmradiator?share , this is a common issue on iRiz and Persona. (Heck, even my car that's fully serviced by Proton also like this, SOP x de, simply add water, compared to older P2 cars at home, till now all good)
Budget standby about Rm300 and go early because theres lots to do. Best you whatsapp or call them for appt as well.

I suggest you study more first bro, some rads come cheap, some are better made. What you take also if your coolant and water level not optimum / balanced its gonna come back.

Those hose and pathways all need to wash.

I still stick to what i said, if can service get it done, if cannot only change rad.

And rads must be just nice, too cool your engine also wont run optimally

Sorry for the late reply, must have missed this earlier. Based on the current model that I have, i'll just say im not impressed, its a 32GB ROM + 2GB RAM unit from AZUR ICE, cost 1k back in 2021 and it lags quite badly, not as bad as the ori HU but damn, its like an old android phone and by the time maps / waze loads up, im probably halfway to my location so ill likely just stick to my phone.
Reverse cam works on and off, sometimes like old CRT TV with bad signal or something scrolling upwards, sometimes blank then sometimes okay. Rear sensors stopped beeping as well, not sure if its got anything to do with this HU or just sensor rosak, might have to get someone to check.

If you do come across a good unit do share and ill update once its been figured out on my end.

My suggestion would be when the car is cool, preferably when it hasnt been started for the day at all, open the radator cap and look inside. If you see rust or rust mush, its time to service your radiator assuming it can be saved. Its a common iRiz / Persona issue especially when Proton' SC adds water as and when they wish, messing up the coolant to water ratio = rust.

If its rusty, try claiming warranty, if cannot try asking HQ for help but dont hope for too much. My Saga VVT had the same issue and they said they serviced the radiator and charged me coolant, it was a lie as all they did was just add coolant. Took it outside to RBM radiator to do preventive maintenance in the end. Still not happy since Proton messed up and i had to fork out my own money for it.

Had the misfortune of having to deal with that recently too, on a Saturday night haha, had to fork out top bucks to buy new plug coils on a Sunday morning since they all looked like it was time.

Not sure what kind of cleaning SC will do for you, likely just a flsuh and they dont service radiator like RBM does which will be around RM350.

Maybe you should see if theres rust first, if yes try claiming warranty from HQ, if cannot just do it outside as SC sucks when dealing with radiators, suka suka add water, confirm rust.

How did the coil plugs look?

If koyak or have white marks better to change as well but hard to tell if you got original plugs other than price being an indicator.
Mine from BSP Iridium on shopee cost me Rm185 during promo + coins, original price is at Rm219.99 (NGK Laser Iridium)

Did you manage to find a proper one where the reverse sensors still beep?

I bought one of these HU harness with canbus, hoping that the reverse sensors will work again. Not only did the sensor functionality not return, reverse cam also stopped working haha. Canbus settings done. Took to 2 acc shops and they too couldn't figure it out. Finally put the old non canbus harness back in and reverse cam is working as it was previously.
Extra info: AzurIce (a.k.a AllWinner Quad Core T3 P1)
If you know of one that works with 2015 iRiz 1.6 Premium, please point me in the right direction

Ps: Proton original reverse cam acts funny, usually works the first time the car is thrown into Reverse, out the 2nd or 3rd time, may work again on the 4th or 6th time or just show a blank screen. Have tried other settings besides CCD but they either show no signal or have a static CRT screen (black lines that roll upwards). Inclined to believe the cam itself is wonky as I cleaned the connectors yesterday and it seemed to work well while parking for that 1 minute leading me to think it was resolved but this morning it was back to its old self. Might have to see if i can find a test unit to verify before deciding if i want to buy an aftermarket AHD unit since its much cheaper and clearer.

Does it also warm up faster after cold starts?

Care to share more? Im curious knowing that 5w30 (fully) / 10w30 (semi) is the recommended grade per user manual.

Bit late but if youre still looking for an answer:
3rd brake light and reverse lights - T15/W16W
Dont think you want to touch the signal bulbs as they might cause a canbus error on your meter cluster thinking the bulb rosak. Ofc, if you found something that works fine, do share.

Ah yes, since headlight housing is reflectors on the latest, best to stay with halogens. Otherwise maybe can eye the Active LEDs (not sure if it will fit as it is or not however).

Really leaves a bad taste when acc shops cut or splice as they wish

Odd, I bought the same (different numbers) but it just refuses to work. Mind sharing the link if you have one? Multiple sellers also swore the reverse sensor cannot work anymore or just couldn't figure it out. Bunch of cables inside was quite a mess. I may have gotten a dud or DOA unit

Your casing and meter cluster threw me off haha wondering if it was a facelift between the 2017 - 2022 model before i saw 2016 being stated in your post.

Is your rear cam stock by the way?

Attached thumbnail(s)

Once temp meter shows 2 bars, its good enough imo. Based on current observations with 5w30 it takes a few mins of driving before it reaches 2 bars which can be annoying since it usually happens after exiting a junction where i likely have to accelerate more to avoid being an obstacle

not cheap to do a proper retrofit and also a bit more to being grey area / illegal

Is it black or painted?

If black can try re-black products something like car wax but i think its too much of a hassle to repeat every 2 weeks or so.

If painted i think better to just let it be unless you want to buy new unit or have it re-sprayed, you'll have to ask around

Can try reblack by Osren. Where are you located? if nearby we can meet up during weekends or something then I apply a layer, you decide if you want to continue or repeating later on haha.

Feel free to DM /PM

Edit: just realized you're one of the OG members from 2015 and you too drive a MT

Thank you.

Bought the exact same harness from the same seller guess I was just out of luck in this case.

Care to share some pictures of the wiring harness behind the HU if you have any?

Which group if I may ask?

Picm?

Sorry, for some reason, i didnt get notified.

Just buy whatever silicon wipers you can get your hands on, around Rm30-50 per set (L+R).
I usually buy from shopee, same for the rear.
Dont bother spending a tonne on wipers because ive been there and the so called lifetime guarantee and wiper performance is shit for Rm500, keep the money, change every year or year plus when the need arises.

Rubber wipers if you prefer silent wipes but wont last as long
Silicon if you want them to last longer but can be noisier when dry

Also no need for shop to install la, just plug and play je.

If brake caliper is stuck, youll feel one rim is hotter than the other or car might sway to a particular direction now and then.

My advise to you is to skip the LED bulbs because reflector headlights arent and werent designed to be used with LEDs, they will silau and attract unwanted attention from the authorities. If you need, buy brighter halogens like Osram nightbreaker series (but their life will be shorter) and / or reduce brightness of car meter and finally check eyes for astigmatism.
