Think that is the functioning temperature of each grade of engine oils. If you use 5w40 oils, according to the manual it's not going to work fine with atmospheric temperature of above 20°C, which i personally have not tried and my gut feeling doesn't trust it.

Wow hope everything is all right

Glad everything is ok. Except the car. Yeah see you on the other side!

Seriously no idea lol.. my last clutch replacement happens after clutch totally cannot engage. Had to tow to workshop to get it changed.

Proton SC? Half cut shop?


If you're out of warranty already no problem one on oil. That's Proton before Geely era la... With x70 in I'm not sure they will change their protocol or not. Because for those expensive parts of X70 they'll very likely to strictly enforce only in house parts allowed in SC.

Think got one. Auto gearbox also need clutch kan? Not say persona is torque converter or DSG correct 😋?

You can actually do that cheap enough in any workshop. Just note that original proton head gasket is rubber based while in workshop you can request for silicon ones. On the hose, if you need to change the hose, probably you can make it a point to replace thermostat one shot.

Yeah silicone one are more durable than rubber gasket. Can't really tell you the price difference since i never replaced it with rubber gasket. You can check in any spare parts shop by asking.

For your hose damaged there's a good chance your thermostat is rusted after long use. You can ask your mechanic to check. My point is since you already drain coolant to change house, you might want to change thermostat one shot since the access is the same. If your water pump is not changed for 160,000km, then can consider change. Proton recommends to me water pump to be changed every 160,000 km, i.e. every 2 times of timing belt change.

Cam cover gasket leak of Campro is very common. I got my leak around that mileage also. But it's not something that very hard to change. Suppose I can live with it.

I got it changed in workshop. All together with worksmanship less than 150 ringgit. The gasket less than 100. The rest is worksmanship.

No they don't clean it for me. I'll just clean it on the morning of my off day with dishwasher and brush with cold engine.

Should be the same. Tak kisah as long as they solve the oil leaking problem.


On the other topic, anyone here changed their radio head unit? I need one with bluetooth call function to get really clear call quality in car.. Currently am using those cheap AUX in bluetooth receiver but I need to shout for my voice to get through conversation clearly.

Anything i should take note for this?

I'm looking at the KDC-620U. Need the CD player as I got some children song CD for kids during family outings.

My concern is the call quality. Is it sufficient for your caller to hear you without installing the mic? Or if you installed it where you stick it to? I'm thinking of sticking it to top of A pillar, at the corner of windscreen, if the headunit cannot do properly without the mic.

Thanks in advance.

Cool bro. Thanks a lot for the tips! A lot of people stick the mic at the steering column in front of odometer and AFAIC that's really an eyesore. Thanks again for your advice, shall go for the A-Pillar then!

Mine 2011 B-Line 430,000km lol..

On a serious note is the pedal response tuning limited to AT only? Can do on MT?

That's great to hear! Will check out with them!

Still relevant. Just that Denso got a lot pf imitation. So have tp be careful.

One thing i found strange though is the Denso Iridium i got from trusted spare part shop and Zordaq is totally different packaging (spare part shop one is common Denso packing, Zordaq one is Blue-green colour scheme packing).. According to Zordaq they're using Japan packed Denso Iridium which works better on CamPro.

Anyway the reason i use Iridium is because of the service interval. Everytime I change spark plug sure got ignition coil spoiled. So I pull it out less the less I need to replace it.


Yo bro, thanks for the advice!

Thanks a lot bro! Really enjoyed the BT function!

I got some oxygen sensor and knock sensor issue some 30,000km back then, so I have changed spark plugs to rule out knocking issue, eventually it's related to my gear changing habit as the code was triggered due to engine lugging..

Back to topic, I planned to change it with timing belt, which is every 80,000 km if it's Iridium. But i tend to concur with iskazulka, we can drag it longer than that. Just that out of service convenience I just change it together with timing belt.

Mine is B-LINE, so only add 2 front door speakers. Not really good expensive speakers some more... Got it at 100++ few years ago, a brand called Uncle Sam. Should it be ok i think.. 😁

Think you can get it from proton. Did you leave the metal clip inside A pillar? Everytime we cabut the trim we need to remove the clips from pillar and pasang balik to trim leh... Anyway if I were you and the clip broken, I'll try to double tape it back lol..

Even with front doors speaker installed i still feel rear speakers are always louder.. need to adjust the fader to F5 then only feel balanced. Sometimes i asked myself that would it make any difference if I changed a better front speakers... But then it's just for listening radio so i think i still can live with it..

Operation Racun start now. 😆

Ini racun kuat. Actually is there anyway to subtlely position 6 speakers in Persona ar?
