I scared brake cleaner will be bad for the plastic parts. I just give a good wipe with a cloth rag. For the brake fluid that got onto the lower arm, I spray brake cleaner but at some part it just won't come off.

Soaked too long. And it wont be bad for plastic parts, it evaporates almost instantly.

is it caused by alternator problem? just sharing... there is 1 expert shop repair alternator discussed here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2537796/+500

semi synthetic 5,000 km
ATF 20,000 km

Alright, let me check with normal Workshop. Can't identify is Alternator related?

For ATF I still stick back to Proton original change every 20k, Engine oil was using Shell semi, 5w30.

ya, I found this shop & Sentul as well. Just I not sure how reliable is this, and relate to alternator or not?
I know while changing battery, they ask me start the engine, then swap the engine, and even before change battery my SOC is 98%, so can conclude that alternator is still ok?

Confirm its not alternator. Either battery too weak, connection to starter loose or starter worn out

Thanks. Then i have the answer already. Battery just change, so must be starter. So far happened twice in the past 2 months. Will see how it goes.

If its more than few years old confirm dy. I just changed mine few months ago.
Car aged at 10 years. Alternator too giving noises. Wallet sakit
I needed the knocking treatment to crank ahahhha

so before you change also same symptom? how bad is it?

not sure mine similar to yours, sometimes mine crank liao engine will mati the 1st round, then crank again will be back to normal.
But been like this for few years.

Engine die off? This 1 never happened. Once a while 1st crank cannot get, then need to crank longer only can start, this happened many years already, mostly on engine is hot like after refuel petrol or tapao time.

This round is like 1 second no power to crank, after that back to normal & is powerful as my battery is new. That's why hold me not to replace my starter yet.

yeah, once crank it start few second then slowly macam dying ada engine light then mati liao need to recrank then back to normal.

This not seems like Starter. Fuel pump or Spark plug? See any expert answer here.

If the starter doesnt crank i just whack with hammer. 10 years i figure just change it

Mine does happen, reported by alot of campro owners. I experienced twice in 10 years it died while driving. Not exactly dangerous but people would panic haha
It can also mean u have vacumm leaks, valves not seating properly etc. Mine hates hot start, cold start damn good.

How you do it? Can do alone? Open up the bonnet can easily reach?

Need to learn or emergency.

Yeap, right below the intake manifold, under the throttle body.
If u know how a starter looks like, its easy.

One of it here. After change starter still will have but now i just let fuel pump prime nice nice only start to avoid that.

Maybe fuel pump lemah already.

Hi guys wanna ask, can u all shift the gear from P to R or to D even u don't press on the brakes?

I think can, but i wouldn't do that.

I once put from D to P when trying to diagnose my car. Good thing car was on jack stand, just the wheels spinning.

If anyone need a new meter for Auto Non ABS Persona/Gen2, I think I'm selling mine. PW855505. New-ish with about 250km on odometer. Used for a week.

Why? Because this new meter acting weird with my car. Mornings when the engine cold, the fuel meter refuses to move. Fuel meter will become normal after drive the car few minutes and restart the engine. At times when turning the key to accessory mode, engine not started, the RPM meter moved a bit.

Currently I'm trying to return the meter to the seller, but I don't think guy would accept the return. Waiting for the seller to confirm with the supplier because usually these part don't come with warranty.

I really don't know if the problem is with the meter or my car. Because as the seller said, this is the first time a new meter doesn't work right. Now I'm using my old meter that was repaired 2nd time - and the repair guy said, this is also his first time customer return to him for 2nd round meter repair.
