wooow, new thread. My car generally is still good though almost clock at 160k. Just need to check the wiring as once happened to my all motorized parts buzzing and leds in the dashboard are getting crazy despite with the new battery. 2 days could not start. The best part when the pomen arrived, all went fine.

oh my my... my intake is giving taktak especially during the morning warming up, not too loud but need to look for good mechanics to handle these.

Weird sound from my intake now, sent to workshop this morning and the mechanic confirmed me that the unit need to be replace or repair. But he suggested me to look around the KV as the price in Melaka is pretty expensive. Even the china made also at rm500+.
wooo...

I see thanks, I read a workshop in Melaka do provide the IAFM services, but they haven't reply my message yet. The shop name is Dori's btw.

the mechanic just replied to my msg just now, he confirmed that they will do mod/upgrade on the shaft component itself, removing the butterfly is not a good thing to do as it will effect the performance and fuel efficiency depending on the condition of the car. The price quoted is rm180, not very sure if the price labour charges included. But anyway, still cheaper than few workshop offer me around rm300 to up than rm500.

Done with fixing the IAFM this afternoon, the mechanic gave some brief explanation about the sound. In my case I have the taktak and another is rattle sound. The culprit is the valve that hold the IAFM shaft inside. Modification done with the valve without removing the whole intake. Now I feel so relieve, no more sewing machine and rat sound from there.

Melaka here bro, It took a month for me to find good workshop by gather some feedback from their happy customers especially about this iafm intake. The job took less than 30 mins. No more the sound of old diesel Mercedes taxi now.

I bought one from lazada that has volt meter and usb charger at one. It displays the amp as well. During engine off the volt is around 12.2 and when engine running I am getting a oit 14.2 or more a little bit.

What modification are you planning to do? I am all basic here, nothing much as long still in good condition to drive my family safe and sound.

Normal diy, peeled the old yellow layer of fog lamp and making it clear as normal headlamp. Much brighter now especially for the short distance of around 10' in front of the bumper. Last year changed tyres to 195, 55, 15, Looking a bit lowered and sporty, nice handling too.

Try to search for Zordaq, it's in KV. Heard they are doing the same too but much cheaper.

sounds good, for the android hud how much is the cost? for the last time I am interested to have the rear reverse camera as I am having neck stiff to turn my head during reversing especially at some narrow slot. Already asked the shop, getting unknown china brand, hud taking 2 din size including the camera will cost me rm600+.

aiyoo.. for sure if for a day off to fixed the iafm you'll feel hearing a new engine after that. Really worth it as the process won't take long, for mine less than 30 mins.

Few things to do to next to make it my car youthful, change the top gasket cover to silicone type, this is highly recommend by my mechanic over the original proton rubber type. Another budget keras would be front tyres to the good year triplemax to replace my current rovelo.

I see, I was thinking to go for android due to GPS functionality esp for goople map and waze, together with the reverse view feature. I do agree with you, the sight view HU of persona is more towards to center of the car, unless the screen can be tilt to the driver side a lil bit, buy it is hell ugly I believe.

Yesterday I tried to see the HU 2 din android inside the persona, but not bad at all especially the reverse view function.

I am finding that my aircond under the dash started to leak, is it easy to check the drain, I mean how hard to open and get to see the drain?

All of sudden my cigarette charger port not working, I thot there is issue with fuse in the box but this point does not have fuse linked to it. Cable point must be burnt somewhere else.

I just checked the fuse layout plan inside the box, every each of the number there is none for cigarette port to my understanding. Will check again.
