Time to time just check ur coolant reserve tank level and also open the radiator cap to see if there is any brownish sediments.. Then u will know if a leak is coming out somewhere.

Oil only biasa cost RM15-20.. Worst also RM25.

Shd be ok.. As long as above min.. But u can always top it off if u want for peace of mind.

they will normally mention if the part is suitable for persona in the description. All the parts i bought did mention its suitable.

Rear lower arm, there are 2 types, long and short.. Or they call it tulang anjing.

When u get on the car or driving the car over bumpy road it nyek nyek nyek at the back

Monroe feels very good.. the front has just the right amount of damping and rebound, the back suspension feels a bit softer than i would like though.

Sounds like ur motor going to give up soon. Mine also had that symptoms before it gave up.

700 is the normal price, but better to change the filter and valve together la..

try to check in a different shop if they overfilled your compressor. Sometimes that happens, they put it too much gas and it feels too heavy and kicks in and out very fast.

Im using NTN rear bearings, around RM95 a side for non ABS persona. For ABS maybe a bit more expensive, but not till RM200 level expensive. Its a very good OEM one.
Yes there are different ones for ABS and non ABS persona. Non ABS persona uses drum at the back, ABS uses disc. So the bearing design is totally different.


APM slightly stiffer than stock, KYB feel like stock.

Nope.. design totally different. ABS version have ABS gear on it. like one extra ring of gigi.

Its been a while since i used stock suspension.. So i cant really remember.. But it does feel softer than stock. Or i have been running hard adjustables for too long to even remember how stock feels like .

Lucky she is Allright bro. Good luck for the future.

Performance drop-in air filter, Lightened crank pulley, lightened cam pulley, 4-2-1 Extractor and full exhaust, Denso Iridium Spark plugs.. can increase around 12whp easily.

I used before.. somehow engine feels heavy after 4-5k km eventhough its a fully synthetic oil. never had the same issue with Castrol Edge Professional, Liqui Moly, Mobil 1. So i tend to avoid Shell brands.. Most of the original owners in the early days when PE just came out concur with the feel of it too.

BTW RM95 is dirt cheap, u can use this engine oil and change it earlier too, not necessary to wait till 10k km.

Changing engine oil frequently is actually the best way to clean your engine internals. Even more better than using Engine flush and all kind of stuffs. I change Semi oil every 5k km and Fully Sync every 7k km.

Lol I get my engine oil very cheap.. And my car is at 200k mileage now.
I bulk buy a dozen Bosch Oil filters for RM68.50 from lazada last time. On top of that I get my engine oil from paulhew in Shoppee. He sells Castrol Edge quite cheap, with coupons and free shipping it only cost RM110+ a bottle.

I only drive like 16-20k km a year on average now and per day driving time will be around 2-2.5 hours due to traffic jam. I noticed that my engine torque and acceleration affected a lot after I started getting stucked in traffic jam. Previously i was working in Cyberjaya and to travel from Bukit Jalil to Cyber is by highway and rarely have jam. Hence this is why i started changing engine oil before due time (you are supposed to change engine oil every 6 mths anyway) and my engine power sort of restored a lot.

To be honest there are a lot more to engine oil than just the dirt level from an engine oil blot. Engine oil contains friction modifier, detergent, viscosity modifier etc etc which wears out over time from heat and usage. A clear engine oil doesnt show the amount of wear and tear to your engine internals. I used to extend my engine oil service life quite frequently last time when I was a student. my Semi Syn oil would last for 12k km, Fully Syn stretch to 15k km. But the darkness of the oil at each service change scares me.

My rule of thumb is, if u feel a major difference in performance after every engine oil service change, you should bring forward your oil change. The extra drag in your engine waste fuel anyways and will just offset the savings you had extending your oil change duration.

Come to think of it, the latest Volvo S90 and XC90 has a 25k km service interval.

Winter is coming bro..

Yes i bought like 3 times from him. 1x magnatec and 2x edge professional. All the time it was genuine. I got the magnatec for only 78++ and edge for 125 using some discount vouchers etc.

Sounds more like the immobiliser module 'hang'.

When did u last service your aircon compressor? Sometimes it can be compressor issue, but yours sound more like the condenser is very very dirty.

change your battery, it uses 2x CR2016. Then when u opened ur key, try using it without the housing, see if it can unlock/lock easily. if it does, then its the rubber worn out.

Use duct tape. Cheap and easy.

4 light if not mistaken is boot not closed properly. 2 fast blinks is bonnet not closed properly.
If u wiggle the battery and it works, maybe ur battery contact point issue. easiest way is to pour hot water on the contact points and scrub the contacts with a toilet brush (the black ones)

Yeah come out for yum cha on a weekend with us.

Haha so how? wanna meet up in Sunway? Can see whats happening to persona93's car and also i got a good workshop to recommend there for any repairs. They do good work and reasonably cheap labour cost too.

lol persona AT is from late 1980s mitsubishi models. i dont think need anymore update.

I also dunno. Electronics + heat = half ded.

before 7? lulz.. I vampire leh..
i dont think now got anyone still going out yumcha in this group except me, xandras, zapdos, raimy.

600-800 for full aircon service, including cleaning the coils and airway ducts.

Dont really have one in mind as I have never serviced my aircon before. But there is one nearby my house that my friends goes to and its quite good. But its in Taman Puncak Jalil


every year seems abit extreme right? I think every 3 years seems more appropriate.

Btw my car is 8.5 years old and never had an aircon service before and its still cold.

Jalan PUJ 3/2, TK Aircon Service. Nearby the clinic Qualitas, right beside Panasonic car battery.
I just passed by there but there is a property agent banner hanging on its shop. Maybe sudah bankrupt.

OK let me set this engine oil debacle straight once and for all. It has cropped up too many times.


Engine oil u buy in Malaysia are called multigrade oil. such as 0W-30, 5W-40, 15W-50 etc. Multi grade means the viscosity of the engine oil changes according to temperature.
The 'W' in the front part of the oil specs means WINTER grade. It is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT[SIZE=7] in malaysia as our ambient temp never go lower than 25Celcius.
Why not sell single grade oil in Malaysia then? Well its because economic of scale blah blah blah..

Multigrade oil flows EASIER in lower temps and gets more vicious/slower flow rate or in layman term 'THICKER' when engine reaches optimal operating temp.
The 30/40/50 is the thickness of the engine oil during operating temp. When engine are designed, the moving parts have a certain need for tolerance. The oil is then there to fill in the gap in the moving parts to lubricate it.
Older gen/high powered/high cylinder count engines GENERALLY requires higher viscosity oil. Campro are designed for a minimum 40 grade oil, but recommended in owners booklet is 50 grade.
Running lower viscosity oil makes the engine feels lighter because of thinner oil film between moving parts hence lower resistance, BUT downside is accelerated engine wear and tear. The moving parts wear down more often and end up the tolerance or the gap between moving parts increases and the thin oil film wont be able to provide a good layer of protection.

A THINNER OIL FILM also means the amount of oil is lesser, hence lower amount of heat generated from the friction is able to transfer away from the moving parts into the engine oil. Hence the common misconception that thinner oil doesnt work in hot weather. Bezza, Axia, Civic 1.5 turbo are common examples of engine able to run 0W-20, 5W-20 engine oil without fail in Malaysia BECAUSE the engine was designed for it.

Engine oil consumption issue is either due to engine oil leaking out from the seals and/or piston walls. So if u dont see oil drips on ur block or floor when the car is stationary, then the engine oil u are using is too 'THIN' for your car which has a high mileage and u need to move up to 40 grade oil. If it continues to consume oil even at 40, move up to 50 grade. If it still makan oil, then gg liao go for engine rebuild.

FYI my car is more than 200k mileage yet im able to use 0W-40 Fully syn oil for my engine. There is no such thing as old cars cant use Fully Syn oil, its just the grade that matters. A fully syn is always superior than Semi syn at the same grade. Is there a difference between 0W40 and 5W40 and 10W40? Yes there is, it affects the Viscosity change Index of the oil. There are slight difference between these oils eventhough its 40 grade oil. But its just too advance if ur car is stock and just meant for daily use.

To recommend a brand, I highly suggest using Castrol. Their oils are one of the best in the market. I use Castrol Edge Professional 0W-40.
If u feel ur engine has a bit gunk build up and want to clean it up, use mineral oil like Castrol GTX and change it around 60% of its lifespan (3000km) or use semi syn and change every 5k km. It is more effective than using engine flush which tends to be more expensive and u are able to maintain engine at optimum performance.

Crank angle sensor getting faulty, or your spark plugs is quite old, or your coil plugs is faulty, or could be just your fuel pump getting weak.
