Wow rave and heaven, congrats man!

Welcome to the club. I'm sure you guys will not regret.

I never regretted mine but my only grouse now is the stupid rattling sound when cornering over uneven roads. Something is definitely loose in the front.

I sent my car for rectification on Thaipusam.

1. Changed the fuel pump/floater (not sure what it's called - the thingy which you have to change by accessing under the back seat). Tried to pump till click but still does not show full . So, what I did was, my first "click", I turn the ignition key on then see where the meter goes. Then second click, I turn on the ignition again and see. I think after the third click then only the stupid meter show full but the petrol nearly overflow. So, it is probably true that it is the design of inlet piping that is the problem and not the fuel floater/pump (whatever you call it). I tried all the "clocks" mentioned in forums like pumping with the nozzle at 8 o'clock, etc...heck nearly even went 24 hours! but I don't really see a difference. Those in the petrol station must be thinking what the hell I am doing adjusting the nozzle left and right.

2. Added rubber bushings to the steering rack. I thought the knocking sound might come from there, but i was wrong cos the sound is still there during cornering on uneven roads. . Geez...why don't we write in to the Star then maybe P1 will notice and take some action. I read in another forum that this "rattling sound" is a "free gift" that comes with every Persona! Man, that sucks! Why isn't P1 coming up with a solution..hello! It's not one or two cars, man! Geez...

Thanks, gonna have a lot of question when i got my car later. Service centre dont know how to fix that problem?

haizz.. SE osso got those rattling sound

i think is the design piping problem...try not to press full when filling...press abit and let the fuel flow slowly..sure can full 1.....but 1 thing is, the meter drop very fast... ...

Yeah super serious case of bad workmanship...usually when i put in my car, they will ask me to come back in 3-4 hours. And sometimes when i hang around in the workshop, they will ask me to wait in the lobby. So i always put my car then and go for a drink or something lor...by the way the lousy SC is a dealer, not a branch...So the lesson i learnt is to never go to dealers...Any of you go to dealers for service?

Can ah? i actually feel like calling them up and telling them off...but dunno whether got any good outcome or not

the rattling sound is quite common for all persona
absorber nuts re-tighten..

yes,u can~
remmeb bering ur receipt n go claim for ur consumer's rite~

drgnkid: ask SC to remove front lower arm nuts and grease them. tighten all lower chassis bolts and nuts

i had a knocking sound from both front suspension and that did the trick. must tighten all including cross member and kingpin bolts.

i'm driving waja CPS.

yea, i did the same when sent my mum's blm to service. Sit there and watch, so in the future can diy service on my own

not the car buyer also complain, ur gf Yea, i decided to wait for the car to arrived, so today just signed the agreement, but not yet pay the downpayment

thanks hope ur problem can be solved. 'free gift'...

ooo mine one is also the authorized dealer, so far so good la. I yet need to claim warranty for my mum's blm broken power window, so will see how good this dealer at my place handle the problem. During service, they invited to the waiting room, but i declined and stood like an idiot in front of the car the whole time

loong2020,

atf fluid is 4L bro...

seems like the case above is "human error' which delayed in the process, they could have rectified the problem earlier if check properly.

For me, Proton service center provide plenty of opportunities for young fresh grad. It is ok for them to do the minor servicing work...

Mine case, after service, the mechanic forgot to tighten back the Brake fluid cap ..luckily the brake fluid not spill out or else it could cause some plastic component to have premature wear.

Just changed my motor oil + oil filter (Castrol 40w) semi syn yesterday at a third party (A friend's place actually). Have not changed motor oil since 13k and now clocking 21k! Phew! Thick thick motor oil.

By the way, sadly I've experienced 2 problems since last month;

1. Knocking sound when brake (Sounds like from the back, sounds like an empty plastic water bottle dropping)
2. Some sort of belt sound from the engine compartment pretty noisy (According to my mechanic, non SC, he says it's the cam; what's that?)

:S :S :S

It is for your own good and safety. Customer is advice not to enter restricted area..

If you have come accross some mechanic drive like maniac, bang here and there..you will know what i mean.
Prove?? My car in PESC being bang backside

my car also got tht rat sound cit cit cit...

some say its the belt, but its juz 40k mileage, oledi nid to change the belt meh?

should be the crank pulley..?

Added on February 12, 2009, 2:36 pmAfter owning the Persona for 1year5months, i like it very much.

The car provide plenty of grip, it can steer better or can compete with japanese rivals despite this PerSona is heavy in acceleration response.
However, my SagaBLM ride and handling is a big let down..
