aftermarket ady cant help.. But if u buy aftermarket and stick tint, it wouldnt oxidise. If u plan to leave it clear, then can do some coating on it but the price will end up the same as Ori ones. My OEM ones lasted more than 4 years before turning slightly yellow now.
Recommend SPIII instead of XP3. Last i heard got some issues with that XP3 ATF hence they stopped selling it.

It's better to check for your braking system for the spongy feels. But Persona CM has been associated with spongy brake AFAIK.

Leaking master pump is one possibility but you should be able to detect the leak at least from reducing braking fluid level.

Another possibility is characteristic of your brake pad, it will feel soft if it's soft type. I have changed to metal type and the feedback improved, yet the screeching before reaching operation temperature during morning drive is just annoying.

Jammed calipers usually changed one shot when you change brake pads.

Maybe you should inspect braking line as well for potential swelling when you brake.

All in all, get a trusted workshop to check. Better than guessing in dark.

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.

170k! Can lasted so long without vibration?
My one can feel engine going to fell out anytime soon, haha.

How much to change timing belt and water pump these days? Time flies so fast, already 3 years since I had mine changed. Last time I was charge RM500 for parts and labor.

Already at 305015km

Just changed engine mounting, this is my 3rd time, aircond flushing and now the aircond super cool even at the lowest setting.

Planning to re-tint around end of Oct

Yes auto, recently quite major, the aircond fan housing and its housing both cracked. need to change. Also, the aircond belt also putus so changed that as well.

Then upon changing the aircond stuff, found out there is small crack at the extractor but nothing serious just very unusual noice. So planning to change the extractor as well later.

anyone aircond slowly become less cool? last time i checked was 2 years ago, let the a/c car guy do his thing, but cannot detect any leaks. car was ice cold for solid 1 year, now 2nd year it wasn't as cool as i remember.

i was supposed to send it for regular yearly service, but too lazy to find time last year.

Just changed mine last month, already long gone and rough when driving..

I saw the new box is Waja, use on my Gen2 sometime when going through speed bump a bit faster, can feel like scraping undercarriage a bit...

Its actually flush old aircond related oil. At first I'm also sceptical, but after the process my aircond breath like nothing stuck haha

all these years the ac never got serviced, it was ice cold all the time. like really cold, proton cold level. it was just after i sent it to service it only lasted for 1 year +. that was after i paid the shop to full service everything. probably because i now use the car all the time instead leaving it parked at home. 

just finished sending the car for flushing. at first i said to the shop, car ac not as cold as it was. guy was a bit confused because it is already cold. said i'm not losing any refrigerant gas, so best thing he could suggest is do flushing, change compressor oil.

2 hours later, already can feel the difference, but it still not as cold as i remember - like hand numbingly cold. probably because i already got used to cold climate?

Illegal by JPJ. Like tint VLT, enforcement is another issue.

Tried RM120 ish LED bulb from Shopee, doesn't like how the light casted from original reflector lamp, and it's not as long lasting as stated, maybe the heat in engine bay damage the bulb from behind.

And 6500K light in rain is horrible visibility.

Haven't got the money to try PIAA 4000K LED yet so can't comment about it.

Went back to cheap and reliable H4 Halogen, use high beam responsibly for better visibility.

Is it just me or everyone else here feels our Persona is falling apart?

Changed together with fuel pump.
