How fat are you?
The height drops when you sitting shouldn't be so noticeable on the front, if you have chance try to compare sit in other stock persona see. I'm guessing "the compatible" absorber might not be optimized for Persona and it's a bit softer, thus the problem you encountering.

May be can add bush to the absorber to make it higher...

what bush ? you mean the absorber buffer?

It's this:
Absorber Bush
Not sure is it same as buffer.

thanks, but I think it just prevents the car from dropping too much during compression stage.

Worth trying tho, will give it a try next time


Just to update everyone:
Just spent around RM700 (RM140 top set+560 labour) for top overhaul of my Proton Persona.

I had queried earlier on the reasoning why my coolant levels kept decreasing (every 2 weeks top up 1L, been doing that for years). Finally know its because of head gasket leak, it wasn't obvious as my engine oil color was still normal. But foreman said last time he guessed that the coolant was being sucked into exhaust but could not give a confirmation. He recommended me to just keep topping up water since its been ongoing for years.

What caused the nail in the coffin was me flushing radiator/coolant (using radiator flush bought from auto shop). I guess when it cleared all the rust and stuffs, maybe a hole was opened bigger or something.

Radiator coolant ran dry just after topping up and driving for 1 hour+, this time it seeped into my engine oil and it turned milky. Engine overheated and couldn't start engine afterwards, thank god it died infront of my trusty workshop if not more $$ spent on towing. Only 3 cylinders was working and it was misfiring like hell before it died.

Yesterday during heavy rain my airbag indicator lights on around 5 minutes and then turn off by itself. Is it OK to ignore?

I tot cat insurance provide free towing ? How old is ur car? Ur engine overheated before? That’s why head gasket burst ?

no free towing for mine
10 years
bought 2nd hand, so probably overheated before last time

Wow that's very detailed debrief.. Thanks a lot for sharing.. Going to raise red flag next time if my coolant level drops. Try not to use pipe water to mix with your coolant. Only use distilled water. It'll keep your radiator and cooling system last longer.

If u have concern, can always go check at SC.

if do radiator pressure test and coolant still disappearing, very likely is head gasket issue

u always check ur coolant? u check on which part? by opening the pressurized radiator cap on top of the radiator right

I check both.

If no leaks in radiator, hoses and head gasket OK. The coolant level should not decrease significantly, especially if you're using proper 50-50 distilled water/coolant mix.

For example, my mom's car I filled up with coolant mix 3 years ago, until now never needed to top up anything.

Bad day.
Engine oil pump failure coz me a major work to the engine~

GG.. if ur engine is already high mileage recommend just swapping another engine in .

Ya, think so but dunno what engine should I swap in.
Also, lazy to go do JPJ job also~

already reach above 160k,high mileage, so seems normal i guess

how much cost?

Hi guys, there is an annoying fast knocking sound suspect from my left aircon vent, it’s gone when turn off aircon.

I tried to send to workshop but when I reach there it’s gone 😅 so foreman can’t diagnose. Any idea what’s the cause of the sound?

hello, i seldom ask and surf LYN, i am sorry if i posted the wrong place,

my 2014 persona has some weird problems recently

first, my rear bonnet has no alarm connected, when alarm armed but the bonnet can open without trigger alarm. And the bonnet light is not working as well, but i couldn't find any fuses or cable loses, but the bulb is absolutely working.

second, my engine bonnet trigger switch is not connected, i wonder if proton guy disconnected it, but when i plugged it, it doesn't function as well

third is the most serious happen recently, the alarm triggered when heavy rain, and i just don't know how to trouble shoot it.

i just wonder if someone had this problem before and share with me before i sending it to workshop

thank you guys

My alarm also triggered during heavy rain , I can’t find the source of it too.
