Mine is 1.3, luckily I read the service manual on the first post. SA ask me to change it along with many other things that I don't need.

Another story from the same service centre, seems that they forgot to close back the cap for my battery and the liquid splash all over my engine bay. I traveled for 2 days for more than 300km already after service. I only got to know about this when I installing axa flexdrive today.





Need advice on how to deal with service agent regarding this so I don't lose out anything

Any recommendations infotaiment head unit display for bezza x ? Model and brands suggestions?

android player will be good

decents one around 6xx

did 2 for bezza recently, uploaded some at our fb page


but whats ur rquirement, budget , easier for member to suggest

SC do make mistake , this maybe go tell the manager and ask them to replace a new battery . But for the changing item that not neccessary you can change SC , it happen on almost every SC , just change to 1 that was ok.

i think add back water and use if still ok then most likely they wont change a new one la , continue use only , need some charges after refill. Refill never too full just right to the level ( too much or too less will make battery weak , if different abit ok la. )

choose the right SC rather than go argue with them , always know what to change before sending your car to service. if not agree with the price or item , then dont service , same to any purchasing .

i has no idea about how to complaint to perodua , i believe you can contact them via their website / email , and they will call you back within few days to verify and understand , i got send a few question before , and they called but i dint answer , they dint reply my email.

This is a ridiculous mistake. The pic shows where they left the cap. If I did not install the flexidrive I confirm wouldn't know it until my battery KO or irreversible damage on my engine bay

Ask the SC to give warranty in writing for the parts replaced/repaired. I will ask them to do engine bay washing cause that is corrosive battery water splahed at your engine bay. Ask them for warranty against paint/structure damage down the road due to the battery water.

Yes , but i not sure was battery water dangerous la , i think not as they are distilled water and not any acid , not sure after putting into battery will change or not.

anyways update us here so that we know what to do when such thing happen.

Distilled water into acid solution in the battery.
It's very corrosive and will damage plastic, paint and metal..
Need to do a thorough wash as the dryer the acid gets the more potent it gets.
If u smell a certain sweetiish kind of smell, means the acid is still around, continue washing..
But having said that, I'm not sure if u are at risk of shorting out the electronics in the engine..
I don't think u'll get anything from the SC as u accepted the car without checking and they have a strong case in saying that it was u who did the damage yourself due to your own negligence but blaming them, the SC...
It's your word against theirs.
But u can bring the matter up and see what comes of it but my advise is to not hope for much..
All the best.!

Bring the matter up. It shouldn't be their first case of such negligence, so you will then have a strong case. However what compensation you are looking for is a question, since most likely there wont be any permanent damage when the acids is clean. May be a Rm500 service voucher? 😀

Well I'm a reasonable man, if there is no permanent damage I will let them off the hook. Maybe claim back engine washing money. Of course I wish they can change a new battery or give me so called service voucher.

So maybe their full skriting act as fins to to flow the air properly and feel more stable. Adv user here please comment.

not sure whether the side skirt of advance model did help in clearing the airflow (by a bit), but i personally doubt the effectiveness of it.

anyway, if you observant enough, you will observed that advance models is lacking the 2 rear air spats (a small little deflector board thingy right in front of rear wheel) compared to other bezza models due to presence of the side skirt. anyway i personally felt that two rear air spats are meant for aerodynamic purpose which translate into (minor) fuel consumption improvement. For myvi, it is present in all the variant.

ok, here's another 2 questions:

1. did any advance variant owner been using NS40 battery and the battery survives long enough (let's say for more than 9 months)?

2. did any advance variant owner having problem with the USB port (near the handbrake) going kaput?

Ya man..
Anything is better than nothing..

Mabbe blew a fuse?
Possibly from faulty cable, or drawing more than 2 ampere?

Mine's still OK (finding wood to touch)
Heh

was found out to be intermittent it seems. it charged for sometimes then it stop charging, then the next day it works perfectly. I didn't get the chance to try to charge the phone for long time say like 1 hour to observe. cables working fine, and the cable only draws 2A max, and i was using xiaomi so it didn't draw as much current like iphone. WIll keep on observing and see....

Hmmm..
Ok..
Sounds like a loose connection for that USB port.
That, for sure is covered under warranty..

Travelling on hyway with 2 over weight adults and 2 teenagers.
Doing 18.9 kmL.

Fully loaded like this, no sheer wind steerage..
Feels stable at 130 km/h.
Rpm at 3.3k.
Tire preasure at 135 kpa.
Ok kua..

When travelling alone then the car is susceptible to shear wind steerage.

Weight matters and this is one and only one moment where its useful being over weight.. Lol

Just want to highlight some quirk. Fuel tank one or zero bar left. I did a not very sharp gradual left turn and there's this momentarily loss of power (I suspect due to the fuel pump intake location). Same turn with more fuel will not cause this to happen. Anybody experienced this before?

i think you assumption would be correct. i don't have any experience as described by you as i didn't left the tank to go below 2 bars, at most 1 bar is the max i can tolerate. just wanna safe guard the fuel pump to make sure it doesn't go overheated.

Happy New year people!
May 2019 bring happiness and prosperity!
All the best in the coming year!
