Lol bro.. no.. i don't mean that hahahaha... I was thinking can we hide the omni speaker somewhere?

Hi jalanloh bro, I don't really have any technical opinion to contribute, but if it involves major repair, it's always worth getting a second opinion.

On the side note, if you keep your timing belt covered well using the cover, it'll last longer as dust doesn't get in easily. The cover got sponge adjacent to the camhead side that always degrade due to engine heat.

I'd say just go for KYB OEM if it's the standard experience you want. But do make note that a lot of workshops and sparepart shops equate persona absorber to gen2 absorber to waja absorber. So make sure you go to KYB website and download their parts number for persona OEM absorber. Gen2 and waja rear absorbers are somewhat shorter and causes the link bush to crack.

I usually change absorber mountings and absorber covers and whatnot all together but people usually don't bother with them.

One thing to note is on the rear sway bar link bush make sure your foreman don't bolt the nut all the way until the end, the bush will just crack. Ini proton technician teach one.

Was it you or wklow28 bro who had the same problem last time? Have you rule out TCU problem if your drive is AT?


Have you changed a new air filter? It's always a cheap fix for me. Petronas EO tend to degrade faster for my ride. Around 3,000km after oil change I already can feel engine noise coarse, could be because of that, could be not. If IAFM it's the famous diesel-engine like tak tak tak sound. Can easily get diagnosed and fixed in Zordaq, or other shop that provide IAFM repair.

I was thinking along the line of your TCU connector issue.. but better investigate from cheaper parts like engine mounting mentioned by @anakMY bro.

Hopefully not either throttle body spoiled, or wiring issue.

For ypur reference, last time i got issue throttle body stuck at certain position, ended up the car can only max 2k rpm, drive slow slow to a workshop which said it's throttle body spoiled, so tukar one. Didn't solve the problem, workshop ask me to get help from proton edar & tow to there.

Proton Edar plentong was kind enough to test all components from accelerator pedal, ECU, and throttle body by trying new ones on my car, in the end they didn't found anything wrong with these parts. So they proceed to check the most troublesome component: the wiring bundle.

They trace the wiring bundle from throttle body to ECU, cutting open hoping to find an exposed wire or short, eventually they didn't found anything except the bundle was wet. After they let it dry, and packed back the bundle, and probably planning to call me for saying this is out of their repairing skills, my car started fine. Worst part of the story is since proton didn't change any parts, they only charge me RM60 OBD scanning fee. Making me feel so bad.

Get your car scanned for OBD code bro. Then only you can work on it. And you really need to meet good Samaritan like Proton Edar that do the free job for me. Wiring problem a lot of workshop outside not willing to do since it's time intensive and low revenue generation.

Edit: Anyway i got an all new Persona Elegance throttle body sitting somewhere in my store room. If you in JB i can pass to you for testing. Lol

Or get a manual tranny like me? 😋

I would suspect engine mounting?


Thanks! That's cheap!

I always assumed timing belt last a bit longer than fan belt as it's covered from dust and all sorts of elemental insult.. So I change it together since consequences of broken timing belt is kind of expensive i.e. need top overhaul. In your case if it's time to change fan belt then I would change timing belt all together if i were you. I tend to overmaintenance according my foreman but then the car for me is tool for cari makan, so no harm to take preventive mainenance with certain degree of piousness right?


Or how many years whichever comes first? I seriously have no idea bro...


Would the wiring works made it not worth it? The_FQ400 bro can keep us updated?


I got mine changed for around that charges some times ago. Speaking of which, feels like my KYB needs replacement already... How bad was your absorber before you decide to change them? Mine was like a bit swaying but not yet sampan...

+1.
It's easier to check on fan belt than timing belt.

The thing really just cabut. But mine for once melted so need to change. Just check if yours is bulb gone or connector damaged.

If no leak in few days time, i recommend send to flush, and fill it with 50% coolant + 50% distilled water (can use battery water or air suling in supermarket), or those premixed coolant. Most mechanic use tap water because they worried if there's leak then your coolant wasted already.

Using pure coolant will reduce the boiling point of your radiator content to that of alcohol, means that your water pump will work harder to remove specified heat from engine, compared to those 50/50 coolant-water mix. Something like that.

On the side note actually pure water works well for Malaysian weather also. But we need the rust inhibition function of coolant.

Yeah... Don't expect any workshop will give you distilled water.. Is the norm in market. I always bring my own distilled water.

Think it's just not the standard practice. If you sending your car to Proton then you can just bring your own distilled water. If you're sending it to your personal workshop, do consider premixed as it save the trouble of your mechanic to mix it properly.

According to owners manual timing belt of campro should be changed at 80,000km interval, which means yours overdue 7,000 km dah bro...

Sorry my fault. Both owners manual and service booklet did not mention timing belt change mileage or time.

It's mentioned in service package. The PDFs are attached in thread no.1.

Anyway i always overmaintain my car. It's really up to owner to decide maintenance style. Afterall we all pay for our own car repair kan?

I agree. There's no argue about it.

My car also like that. Mostly fan belt worn out. But it's not some big problem that. Mechanic's advice was if i can tahan the noise, i can wait until it scream all the time then only replace it if i want.

Yeah it's not really expensive... But mine is suspect it was damaged quite prematurely because of my belt tensioner. Zordaq replaced mine with stronger CFE's tensioner for better durability, as persona one lost their tensile strength quite fast comparing to tensioner of other car.

But this is just my speculation la..

On the rattling sound probably you can check if you want to fix weather membrane in future. Totally no idea which part of the mechanism caused that...

I use 2 litre. Then top up needs about 1.5 bottle 1.5 litre distill water from AEON. Put lesser also can, just make sure you use distilled water. Reserve tank there can put distilled water.

Never, ever use tap water.
