some say it is aircond hose.. some say it is the power steering hose..
i'm not sure which one.. it doesn't matter to me because proton can't solve the problem

So how to solve it outside? By insulating it? Btw, since its ermm said to be hitting the frame, doesn't it will wear out faster and causing leaks in the future?

Btw, my ex colleague's Gen2 last year had a break down in town. Towed to the shop and found that a hose at the firewall was rubbing and caused it to leak and lost all engine power due to it. I forgot what hose was that. They said its most common with Gen2. It needs to be slightly relocated and insulated heavily or else it may rub and leak over the years thus causing problems.... Since its the same with Persona so, anyone know???

do wheel off balancing and on wheel balancing........tell them highspeed vibration....if couldnt solve, it should be tire problem....

anyone has paid for 3rd year M-Line roadtax?

what is the sum insured tat suitable for it?

RM43K?
RM40K?
RM38K?

for last year my road tax+insurance fees were RM1098.25 sum insured for RM45K

but for this year fees should be lower than that but the agent quote for me RM1160.45 sum insured for RM43K

if not mistaken.. u will be getting discount on the insurance u that u pay.. if there is no claim made by u

yup, there's no claim was made...but from the agent quote price seems like no deduction/discount...is the insurance agent want to con me?

You are going to renew for 3rd year right? I presume it is a year2007 made then...Sum insured 39K enough liao..

MLine(Auto)
2007 39,000
2008 42,000
2009 46,000

MLine(Manual)
2007 37,000
2008 40,000
2009 43,000

Hope this helps..by the way, if you over insured the value, you get nothing also..BUT make sure don't Under insured, you'll have pain when it comes to auto claim..

Added on September 4, 2009, 6:16 pmWhat's your NCD eligible for? should be 25, 30, 38% 55% ??

There is a loud Metal knocking noise/sound when driving through uneven pavement like going up a multilevel carpark!
The metal knocking sound seems to be coming from the front right suspension

There must be a solution for this issue, I dont mind paying for x'tra insulation like superlon/dynamat to insulate the hose, Does anyone know what is causing the noise?

hey thanks ralf

mine is MLine Manual...would you recommend RM37K for sum insured? or maybe RM38K?

my NCD eligible for 35% if im not mistaken hear from insurance agent

raya is near...need to budget wisely

Barely 24 hours of ownership (got the car at 5:30pm on 4 Sep 09), i found several defects already.

1. Automatic gear lever indicator lights (at the gear lever) sometimes no light. Suspect it is connector problem.
2. Rear boot lid above the Persona logo, paint chip.
3. Rear bumper top portion, paint chip.
4. Front bumper corner slightly misaligned
5. Rear bumper corner slightly misaligned
6. The famous aircond vent rattle
7. The ever famous RHF wheel "kok" sound when turning right / left i dun remember which direction.
8. Meter cluster slightly misaligned
9. Steering alignment slightly misaligned but i think i won't bother about it for now.
10. Fuel lid when opened the top portion corner (RH top corner) touches the car body. So it sorta scratches it. I will hv this fixed first thing today because i cannot wait till the 1st service to do. It will be too late cuz by then i already refill several times already. So it might scratches it even more.


Okay this below is i am not so sure if its really defect or not:-

1. There is this hole cover beside the dash next to the meter cluster. I am not so sure if there is a small gap for you to pry or it is slightly cracked. Not so sure.


Question:

1. How much is the full tank?
2. Since mine is B Line, where can i buy the rear boot lid sound damping similar to M & H line models?


Driving experience:

1. Very nicely sound insulated. Road noise etc very minimal.
2. Very nice driving feel, eg. steering feel, engine power etc etc. suspension.... The engine and AT ECU is adapting to my driving style so it is improving since i got it yesterday. The power delivery is getting more and more better.


As to date, this is what i discover barely 24 hours of ownership....

@2fast2furious
the paint chip off easily.....especially you follow behind a lorry or truck.... my front bonnet have around 6-7chip dots....cause by stones so try to avoid following too close.

1. There is this hole cover beside the dash next to the meter cluster. I am not so sure if there is a small gap for you to pry or it is slightly cracked. Not so sure....which one??..any pictures


1. How much is the full tank? RM63=35liters (when the warning lights on)
2. Since mine is B Line, where can i buy the rear boot lid sound damping similar to M & H line models? persona club or better go accesories shop and do soundproof for boot as it cost cheaper and better

btw, u complain to the salesman during delivery/checking ur car..for the imperfection on the car....

enjoy the ride....

37k will do. If 30-38% ncd, total amount included roadtax should be rm1k~

'ut for this year fees should be lower than that but the agent quote for me RM1160.45 sum insured for RM43K..'
2years old M-Line(manul)..sum insured where got so high..If it is true, i am happy bcoz our Persona can fetch higher 2nd hand value.

u sure ah persona can catch high 2nd hand value?

last month i ask Proton agent if I trade in my persona for Exora, they value my persona for 33K around that... same like urs, 1st batch Mline manual .. insurans mmg sengaja charge mahal la... wait when u want to claim later..

No la..i said "If it is true, i am happy bcoz our Persona can fetch higher 2nd hand value."

All protons suffer 2nd hand value since years ago..

anyone think that persona is a save fuel vehicle??

I would think Prius or Civic hybrid is a save fuel vehicle...

I would think Persona is still ok lo...
