Yeah it's a bit too close to be comfortable. Mine is a bit further away from hose. I suppose when your engine is cold you can always loosen the bracket screw and adjust the position, then tighten it back. Just don't force it too much else the glue give away. By the way i thought it would be easier just to change the o-ring?

How about radiator cap? Necessary to use back original or any OEM will do?

I notice if I touch on the cap sticker, little coolant will leak out. But if i clean it, remain untouch, no  leak at all. Normal? or about time to change as well. Actually like this been quite long already.

I'm using oem. Just make sure the PSI rating is the same then you should be fine.

Another possibility is fan motor. I changed my last year. Fan start weak or no spin already, when you drive, the wind cool down the radiator so it drop back.

I changed my thermostat not long ago..

if it happen frequently, better check at nearest workshop.
Try to rotate your radiator fan with engine off, see if the fan can spin smoothly or have resistant.
I experienced this last few months, when radiator fan down, aircond still cold but car temp will rise when car stop, and the radiator coolant will spill out due to high temp, also the fan will run for sometime even after turned off car switch.

For repair, i need to change the fan motor, and also replaced the burn fuse caused by high resistant when the fan spinning.

100% confirmed it's the meter. Get it repaired. Need to change the thingy that moves the needle.

Check FB marketplace for meter repair guy. I suggest asking Gen2 group for dedicated meter guy.

my car just overheat last week, found one of the hose from the radiator cracked and leaked otw to KL. Do you change your own radiator coolant?
The last time my car overheat due to the plastic crack after replacing the workshop just refill water into the radiator.

I also faced the same problem like this before, then I ask my mechanic to really check all the piping and it seem that it has some cracked on it and also check the fins on the radiator. Change both with new parts and fill only coolant, now it is working as usual without over heating issue.

Thanks for all the feedback .... my overheat problem seems to be a simple one, which many people actually overlooked it. It is caused by my radiator cap, the mechanic checked and suspected it was caused by it, since he noticed some coolant at the cap there. All other things were ok, so he just replaced the cap and top up water. Driving for 2 weeks seems no overheat issue anymore.

Now another issue I'm facing after the overheat issue, is the speedometer sometimes at 0km/h. I googled and most was saying speed sensor issue. Anyone getting this problem? Might need to visit the mechanic again.

Recently I went to some winding road trip with my MT Persona and I started to push it. (e.g. using 3rd gear to reach almost 100kph on a bend)

I noticed some power dropped in high RPM after 1+ hours of driving on the winding road especially when the weather turns hot. Does anyone feel this as well?

Just wasted a day on my persona full spec smart car key

So, I was having issue with my car key .. cannot open car door with car key ..
It's push start so I taught maybe just go in car manually and start car ..
Got in car with alarm sound .. buy cannot start car .. key not detected .. wtf

1st TIP .. use your smart car key and use it to press the start button .. it didn't work for me
So, I taught key no battery .. change the battery .. still key not detected .. wtf

So, taught key rosak ..

2nd TIP .. you can only duplicate the smart key with the car .. I cannot start the car so I cannot go duplicate key ..
either at service center or outside shop .. you need the car ..
So, need to get car tow to service center ..
Went to the outside shop they told me must have car but uncle say probably car battery kong ..

I was like .. I had no issue start car at all .. earlier .. car key was the issue .. but kanasai .. was really need to change car battery

So the stupid persona needs more power supply to detect your smart car key then actually starting the car .. hold f 

ZenGTMM add to 1st page if can the bold part

I don't recall Persona Elegance got a smart key to start with. Persona BH?

Didnt know the thread still so active.
2015 sv owner 190k km service this friday.
i still go sc couz lazy to track on my fluids.
Mechanical parts alot done outside

changed
1) mounting, stering bush
2) drift shaft
3) front absorber, absorber mounting , stabalizer link(i think)
gone one question, my break sometimes feel lembut after long driving
Master pump?

I recently just change brake fluids, its better but still abit lembut SOMETIMES.

do we need to service brake calipers?

It's better to check for your braking system for the spongy feels. But Persona CM has been associated with spongy brake AFAIK.

Leaking master pump is one possibility but you should be able to detect the leak at least from reducing braking fluid level.

Another possibility is characteristic of your brake pad, it will feel soft if it's soft type. I have changed to metal type and the feedback improved, yet the screeching before reaching operation temperature during morning drive is just annoying.

Jammed calipers usually changed one shot when you change brake pads.

Maybe you should inspect braking line as well for potential swelling when you brake.

All in all, get a trusted workshop to check. Better than guessing in dark.
