Zordaq is GOAT for Persona. OEM is good enough for me as long as genuine OEM brand.

Thx sifus. Will give Zordaq a call and get a quote. So far still drives ok, only got "kluk kluk" sound when goin over bad surfaces. Very sayang my Persona, long live our Personas!

Hi Guys, wanna ask any of you install 70mai dash cam with hardwire ?
if yes, can i know where is the vcc+ fuse ?

Coz i check the internal fuse box all fuse seems like ACC+

Guys, today when driving to work the check engine light suddenly turned on. Im hearing quite loud engine tapping. When I stop the car, noise is gone. Shut the engine, and start again, the check engine light gone.

Sudden spark plug failure?

go for obd scan?

Dont have the time to go to workshop. I was about to request half day today, but now the check engine light is gone.

I am owner of Proton Persona Elegance manual... Own it from 2010 until now... The car is easy to maintain, spare part price is affordable.... Since i work as engineer, I've been train to keep record on all maintenance history of my car... So here I share the total cost ownership of the car and also mileage history yearly that I record base on my personal experience...

I have change all the parts related to handling for my 2010 Persona at Zordaq, if you got enough money, request orignal parts from Proton, it last longer...but the price to some people is premium...

I do not have experience rebuilt my engine but I change the whole engine because my original engine get hole when my car get into flash flood...I just having bad day where it heavy rain, my aircond not working, the front mirror start condensation, cannot see clearly the road and unfortunately i get into flash flood...the workshop where i normally send my car suggest to change engine instead of repair it...i just withdraw 10K from KWSP and there goes my money... 2 years have past, it running around 60,000km with new engine and still running good now...

What you do in 2022 and 2023?

On the side wall near your accelerator pedal. Should be ACC. Try to get one fuse tapper so you don't have to mess with cutting wire. If not confident, always can get it installed in accessory shop for like RM50 to RM100 on workshmanship, depends on area and if you need to install rear camera or not.



Can still scan for OBD. Some code will be stored in ECU without triggering check engine light. But if it doesn't comes back then never mind lo... For the record if engine knocking, check engine light will flash. Maybe next service can ask your mechanic for thorough check.

Maintenance and repair cost of my Gen2, also since 2011, I think around RM25-30k like that, calculated that early this year. Spent most on radiator fan and absorber (3rd or 4th set already), I don't understand why Proton front absorber always leaking oil...

Last year also spent a lot on replacing those lower arms, absorbers, absorber mounting, engine mounting and tyres...

Hello Mike, you can refer my detail spending on 2022-2023.
2022 my car get into flash flood get hole on the engine and i change new engine.
2023 i do lot of replacement for parts affected by the flood

Waa. my front absorber changed in 2022 together with mounting (mounting kong)
my original absober rebound till 85% perfectly but the mechanic phyco me change.
the old one still inside my carboot.
I changed a KYB one not sure can tahan how long.

Tulang anjing i already change. the shorter tulang anjing and lower arm didnt change. my mechanic say not alot sound no need change. ori parts tahan longer haha.

My back absorber still untouched till today.

2015 persona. 210k km

Other stuff i changed was drive shaft and engine mounting.

Due to change: aircond controller hahahah


thx ofor sharing i will look it into detail
Dam flood.
hope u were covered by insurance.

Only thing i dont like about persona is the fuel. the rest all ok

Better fast change. the pressure is quite high. two months before because of the radiator clamp hose faulty, coolant leaks and after repair, water pump burst. Then need to skim head. terus top overhaul la. mileage now is 430000km. Persona standard 2013.

correct fuel. the best is you can do 100km/h on Karak Highway easy. over 120 still got pickup. other non turbo 1.6 i dont think can do something like that.

looking for driver seat that can adjust the height and also rear seat that can be folded.

Yes, change it back 2 weeks ago.
Fortunately the radiator no leak whatsoever, just replace the tube on top the radiator and cars good to go again.

Wow, 430,000km...you drive a lot i will said...

How much is for change of starter? Buy shopee any good? My mechanic is under the tree type of mechanic, guy much prefer if I buy part before sending the car.

I bought at spare parts shop China new (Powertron) RM180, bring to workshop labour RM60.
