Any of you claimed warranty for paintjob before? The paint on my bumper is peeling off already and the car is only two months old.

my take is they will not bear the responsibility unless the issue is proven cannot be induce by any factor in two months time. if you don't caught them the moment you take your car, that's it.

Yea I thought so too. I'll just give it a try. You can see how thin the paint is. Haih spoil my mood only looking at it

if perodua handle your case, they sure bankrupt. If your case is proven to be genuine quality issue (regardless whatever method you used). They will also try to push it away.

Now, after having a good look at the spare tire with its steel rims, I kinda like it..
Very anti establishment, retro look that's so different from the myriads of alloy rims..
Lol

old school, and yet rim theft deterrent.

lol if want can? Do they carry it in their perodua sc? I know the myvi gt has brembo but that is only for show.
*
i think should have, try ask those perofrmance garage and see. but then, if you really wanna do it right, it involves a tonnes of other ancillary works like retune the suspension, strengthen relevant parts and assemblies etc, i mean if you looking at over all. Of course you can just upgrade to a stronger brake system alone though, the car should able to last until you sell it (unless you plan to drive it for 20 years) brows.gif

lol. I mean can it be done from perodua, do they carry anything else besides stock brakes? Bcs my car still have 2 years warranty left if go out side do all those things perodua sure will void my warranty. And no, not going to use it for 20 years brows.gif
*
haha.... answer is surely no. Perodua doesn't have the capability either. Though retrofitting is a good business to have, but i don't think perodua will think about it for a single second for now.

QUOTE(jtan.pdr @ Oct 13 2019, 01:17 PM)
Unless ur manufacturers have a division like AMG, or M, or Abarth, STI, or evo, or even TRD, then I don't think they'll develop anything close to a ceramic brake pads or let alone a ceramic brake disc for a eco box..
Let alone an enhanced  turbo kit that's got factory warranty..
We can always wish.. But...
*
Hahaha..... maybe PRD or Daihatsu Motorsport with a touch of Perodua taste.

for me, bhp, caltex are usually tied. Shell in the middle, then follow by petron and petronas.

best practice when you driving down hill is go as slow as you could. don't pump the brakes so much to prevent overheating, utilize more engine braking by shifting to lower gears. On bezza, the lowest you can go is 2, but perform downshifting at an appropriate speed (refer to your owners manual about the downshift speed).

and i personally don't think a leaking absorber will cause accident when you drive safely.

Haha ya bro I also did watch a few of his video to see the genting route. But of cause not going to drive his aggressive style.

Also bcs he is driving so fast I sure he needs to press the brakes way harder to slow down, wonder how come he never gets brakes overheating, is it bcs he is using new cars??
*
just because he is experience enough to know when the brakes going to fade and how to cool it down properly and get the bralking power he needs.

Speaking of lifespans, how long you think this bezza can last? When is a good time to sell it off?
*
quick answer is, whenever you feel like letting it go. hard to tell as different people have different perception on when they should let go their cars.

in your opinion should sell it before or after the warranty is up?

my personal take is..... when the maintaining the car is no longer justified than owning a new one.

Does overhaul consider one of it? Usually car tht travel how many km needed to be overhaul?

Btw, what needed to be maintain and check on old car
(110k km) suspension system?
*
overhaul? top overhaul? major overhaul? budget overhaul? optimum vehicle perofrmance overhaul? there's no one answer fits all situation.

110k km, suspension system should be worn already. check those wear and tear parts like absorber and rubber bushing. no abnormal sound then ok la. can simpan duit dulu for the future. devil.gif

What if bezza use vracing fuel? Will anything happen to engine?

nothing obvious happen to the engine, at most you may get slightly more ignition timing advance and some minor power gain that you can't feel it. more effect on your purse actually. devil.gif

have done on the bezza

kl - lumut by way of sekinchan, with stay over in teluk anson.

kl - melaka by way dengkil, pd,

kl - pd mini drive on hyway

kl - genting (not fun, not again... lol)

kl - kuantan by way of jerantut (rendezvous persiaran van tour guide fren ) then hyway onwards to cherating

kl - behrang by way of bestari jaya on b33 byway

kl - taiping (normal hyway drive w/ family)

kl - mantin, bentong,  (lulian runs...)

numerous 2 hour drives to nowhere...

most drives alone.
if drive on byway (B roads) at around 60-80 kmh, km/L can reach 19kmL avg. if no jam la...

school holidays now coming and i'm itching to be on the road again..

when i got this car, we were in the midst of cutting down on expenses, with kids college looming and income dwindling..
we had to make cuts... namely having less cars and focusing on just 1 car each for wife n me...
one car that had to do almost everything and be "cheap".
MPV/SUV were gas guzzlers (diesel is not really a thing in mesia, unlike europe) and pricey for my current state..

i was looking for a car that:
1 economical (cost cutting mah..)
2 long distance cruising (car can do town n have long legs to cruise at lower rpm)
3 carry luggage on the longer cruise
4 reliability (still testing as we go thru life)

anything else is a bonus..
manage our expectations, so that we wont be disappointed all the time...
one thing i really miss for long drives is the auto cruise control...

so, ended up with the bezza after much info searching in forums, asking questions, and base spending capability and still have money to have some fun...
didnt want to drive "LOOK AT ME" cars and the bezza is the next thing to being invisible.. i like that... i am like that...
ostentatious showmanship is not my thing...  gone past that stage..
so my bezza DOES NOT HAVE hello kitty stickers or any stickers..
stock standard.

oh.. one thing... bezza seats sucks man... especially long distance, and the driving position (being upright oso sucks)
my legs get cramped during long drives.. especially when i get out of the car and find that my legs have gone to sleep..
and the relation between the seat and the wheel oso sucks.. (for me la)
the steering wheel being non adjustable has made me re-adjust my steering style from 'hand over at the top to hand over at the bottom of the steering wheel..
meaning for long distance, in a more relaxed way, i do the shuffling technique with the hand over of left/right hand at the bottom of the wheel rather than on top of the wheel (cos the wheel sits so high)
doing the cross hand style on top of the wheel means that i have to lean forward from the seat and thats going to be uncomfortable in a long drive..

sekian maklumat yang di ranchangkan untuk sesi ini...
lol

wow, you've chalked down a lot of mileage on your bezza.

here's what my bezza did

Ipoh - Sauk (kuala kangsar)

pg - KL

pg - Iph

pg - Tpg

Pg - genting

Pg - Fraser Hill (not gonna ply this route again on bezza, not nice)

pg - cameron highlands

Yeah all involved highway run until the nearest exit ot the B road.

on highway, cruising at legal speed limit, the fc is good.
on the B road, surprisingly it hits the sweet spot of this little 1329cc engines car so the fc is equally nice despeite having stop go traffic

overall, the fc is good for bezza, if fc is not good then peodua should terjun sungai, since the car is so light (980kg) with newer technology compare to its closest competitor.

ride and handling not perodua's strong point, so just leave it. no need to comment more either.
engine refinement is good (nak tau la, "toyota" NR engine wei)
body NVH, can't fight the closest competitor (another A segment sedan)
the seating position, i agree with what you said.
boot space, huge. can slam in a lot of stuffs. good.

fraser hill route will be fun to drive...... alone. not with passenger especially in the rear. How i wish my bezza has strut bar nd rear anti roll bar as it surely beef up the cornering performance by fair bit. and you need to be really gentle through the corners as you will upset the weight balance especially those zig zag corners (plenty of them here).

cameron, i took the simpang pulai route, it can handle the slopes, no worries. and again, 1329cc, you gonna need a golden right leg to make it work.

nvh wise, not only the roof but the overall body nvh wasn't that good. imagine the nvh is worse than a 13 years old myvi... i was like ohmy.gif

Same..
P2 would have given u a bottle of distilled water to top up the battery..
Care not to over fill or the acid will spill over and destroy other parts.
If dunno, take car to a battery shop or ur mechanic and ask them to teach u..
Cant tell from texts but a hands on learning lesson..
And pay them la.. Cheap cheap solution.
But this battery seems good ones.
Lasted longer than some that I got in other cars..
Some lasted me just 1 year..
*
perodua battery water is rm2.70 per bottle. or you just buy one outside and always make sure your battery is filled to the correct level.

if you stay at landed property and you are not lazy, just buy a smart charger (e.g Bosch brand) and periodically charge your car battery. probably it helps to extend the life line of the battery by some extend.

""cameron, i took the simpang pulai route,""
did the car struggle like going up genting?
nvh
i did additional sound proffing for doors, firewall, floor, and boot...
thats where i spent my modding cash... by adding weight to the car... lol
*
the slopes is ok, you just floor the throttle whenever you need the power, and you've no worries. personally i'm more worried about those really slopey slopes like the one coming down from the cactus valley, so slopey until i need to go really slow and let the brake cool down to prevent overheating the brakes.

honestly, i don't think doing insulation will add a lot of dead weight into the car, it shouldn't be like another 100kg either, probably a 20-30kg additional, just like a full tank petrol added to the plain car weight.

being a owner of perodua bezza for 3year.. and what i get is a lousy customer service from service centre and, perodua car sparepart are not realiable.
my bezza as a weekend car only and the door handle super lousy material, it broke of directly,... worse than proton wira door handle.
*
agree on the customer service from sc is not that on par, like it or not, peoruda sell a lot of cars every year so to them, you makes no difference. i mean, sorry to be blunt. nowadays, whenever you raise a feedback to the sc, they are like take it or leave it attitude.

broken door handle is quite normal these days, it could happen on bezza, it is equally happen on proton saga. it's the material used and the design of the part. and who knows whether the supplier of the handle use the material per the drawing spec or not? brows.gif

Ya man..
I filled over the top line, that's why I said to be careful when filling.
I've only filled it twice..
But looking at the amount of times I have to fill it and the capability to last more than 2 years makes this battery a worthy contender to the other maintenance free batteries I've used before.. Some not even 1.2 years of life.. Probably reconditioned battery sold as new..
Worst experience is a century brand..
6 months..
*
overfilled slightly should be ok, rule of thumb is don't let the acid touches the plastic piece of the refill hole.

worst experience i had is yokohama, it died 1year 2 months in service.
