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

Hi guys. Have a little question here.

I noticed the radiator top coolant hose on my car have a bit of leak. Bit of coolant can be seen hardened around the hose. The mechanic used a lot of grey RTV Silicone around the hose, the coolant leaks around the silicone area.

Been like this since last April. My car is not losing coolant.

Sometimes after a long drive, I can smell the sweet smell of the coolant.

Should I get this fixed as soon as possible? I'm planning to get it fixed together when changing the timing belt and water pump when I got the time.

I didn't chane at the end. Went to Proton SC, the mechanic so nice, bring the cap to my car want to change for me, after he tear off the sticker looks dry, then tell me no need to change unless overheat.

Was thinking is it due to hot weather? so many heat issues on old car.

Touch wood so far so good. Just wonder quite number of people & few cases also relate to heat issues.

My is idle vibration still not good, some times can feel like short of breath. This happened after change thermostat. Last major service, change ATF, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter and even spray to clean the throttle body but still not improving. Give up already, maybe last is engine mounting.

Based on my record, i changed once at 77k, now is 150k. What's your mileage when change mounting? I did change once as well at 94k, don't want change so soon, not sure how long this car can last...
78°C, how to check the ignition coil?
Mostly on idle, sometimes obvious sometimes ok, when drive is normal. I just monitor see getting worse or not? My current pending issue is Alternator pulley, start getting some minor noise on idle. Check with few foreman some say change the pulley after market, some say no issue, just the noise won't impact anything.

My current mileage around 107k still on original mounting, already earthquake feeling but yet to change.

Recently the radiator top water hose attaching to engine side got minor leaking, can see reservoir tank level dropped to minimum. I tried tighten the screw, but it gone loose again in just 1 week. I see the screw end very near to the timing belt area, so last week tried loosen and tighten again and move around a little bit, hopefully fixed it.

Personally I think the acceleration of our model is better compare to the new Persona.
The only thing is the steering floating feel is more compared to the newer one.

Any suggestion on this?  :confused:
Especially when speed go beyond 110 km/h.

How's your persona doing?

Today I found my rear brake light shorted. One of the light bulb socket melted. Now the bulb stuck inside the rear light thingy because it was melted by the heat.

These things are so random. The other day the door handle broke off. 

i think im one of the few who have the 2015 car.
dang my aircond blower fan now got sound + the controls masuk angin d. sometimes turn off and on

190km soon!

Hey people. Car problem again. This time found that the engine oil totally drained. Underside of the car engine oil splattered everywhere. Visual inspection, seems like the the oil sump is intact, i didn't hit a rock or anything. Could it be leaking from crank shaft?

Don't know how long this happened, only notice it today when the engine sounds like diesel engine.

If spark plug changed new, hard start should be caused by fuel pressure low. Try change fuel filter and add fuel injector cleaner before filling up fuel. If problem doesn't solves, then should be fuel pump clogged or motor weak ady. If spark plug or ignition coil failed, you'll fill your engine vibrate, engine light on indicate which cylinder misfire.

Hello anyone, my car persona facing the interior light problem

The lamp switch is off, but the light still show up in dim. The meter when off lamp is bright,but now is dim together. and the rear break light also got dim light. Any help?

Is it legal to retrofit LED light bulb in old cars? Just wondering.
