never drive normal persona before, but i heard forumers said IAFM engine noisier than non-IAFM, however the IAFM engine has better FC and slightly powerful than non-IAFM. btw persona SE is heavier than normal persona, haha. yeah seems to be ok for me for a 60K car

Wahoo V5 Persona thread, pretty fast. Congrats!

Couple of things need to do for my Persona before CNY;

1. Look for my uncle to service the car (Not Proton SC since it's after my 15k service, furthermore cheaper + warranty is applicable)
2. Replace motor oil
3. Replace air filter
4. Replace auto transmission fluid
5. Disc brake pads (Front and rear)
6. Alignment and balancing
7. Car wash + vacuum biggrin.gif

My steering has no 'kok kok' or 'keek keek' sound. However.

If I do put myself in reverse gear in the carpark,

I can hear 'weeeeeeeeeeee!!!' sounds. Very odd but doesn't bother me

I have a variant of this problem with my aircon as well.

At 140 - 180km/h and above, the aircon will smell like burnt rubber! However no funny sounds whatsoever lol icon_idea.gif

Hey I was talking to my friend who got the first batch of persona and it came with captor for the high line car

but when when i go to the showroom they say i must buy direct from captor instead

I dont understand why not just put captor in, then easy for the car loan to approve

Just test drive the Gen.2 CPS auto this afternoon.really so powerful.even the respond in low rpm oso so good.the SA ask me to give some negative point about the car i just dunno wat to said anymore.the power is perfect from low rpm to high rpm.after drive the CPS,now i felt my persona really under power even had do some light mod on it. cry.gif .have to find 4-2-1 extractor for my persona to improve my low rpm respond.
as i heard from the SA,Gen2 CPS auto is better respond then manual CPS.tats y all 'Polis Penyiasat" waja cps all use auto.because PDRM had done a research on it b4 they place order with proton.

hey..just want to ask what is the problem actually...erm...if i drive 80/90km smoothly/ revving.....after sometimes, when i accelerating there is a knocking sound under the bonnet, (around 1100rpm-1400rpm)..sometimes up to 2000rpm.....but weird thing is, when i open and slam the bonnet HARD, the sound gone, back to normal and smooth acceleration... not to mention, when i put in N gear, free revving also got the sound...but SLAM THE BONNET HARD, only the knocking sound gone... and when i off the engine for few hours, the sound seems to dissappear...

so what is the problem actually??? any owners experienced this??...check the bonnet holder,bumper,radiator, all still very tight

Yea I've heard as well even though I've not driven a Gen 2 CPS. The CPS does really perform very well on the RPM. Yea I noticed too, all new Police Waja's are CPS automatics! They go really fast on the highways. Psst...a lot of them around as of late. CNY round the corner...

I heard from the V4 thread that there are rumours of Neo CPS, but well we don't know lol.

I'm thinking prolly Proton will only release the Neo/Persona CPS after newer models come out, like the Waja and Gen 2

already call proton COE SC...
told that tomorrow cannot go for complaint bcoz they want to concentrate on service only...
when i explain my prob, the person told me that the connector or the control unit for the abs need to be reset.
so, book to go for complaint on the 22 JAN 09 bcoz that is the earliest day i have time available.
so, i got a lot of time to list down all my complaint before i go to the SC.
but.... i need to leave my car there for at least 1 day.
so, hope fully all the prob will be solve then..
finger cross...
will update after i go to the SC...

er...as i know if the loan haven't approve mean u don't have a bank's letter for register a new car.which JPJ won't entertain if u go there without the letter.n JPJ do no booking number but just blocking numbers when u submit the bank letter only

Can i booked the running number, the free one?
And can i trust the number for the next day? I mean, let said end of today the last running number is WSE 1XXX, then tomorrow it will reach to 2XXX rite? So i can go to jpj the next day to get my favourite running number between 1XXX - 2XXX.

IC, then i should wait my loan to be approved liao. The bank guy said next week mon/tue will know the status. Hopefully they approved faster cuz if can, i wanna get my favourite number through the running number instead of paying RM200++.

haha..the main problem for noise is the plastic door panel....last time my right front and rear left door got noises when going bumpy roads...but after i
put the soundproofing material the noise gone...so if anyone got noises coming from door area...do sound proof ur door especially the top part (black area where is not covered anything)...if can add to the plastic pillar as well.....

no.. book/buy number is totally independant.. just pick ur number and write it on the form and go to counter #1 and the staff will check the availability.. coz sometimes they forgot to cross out the number when there's already someone book the number..
then, if its available, just pay straight away at the counter.. after that they will give u a receipt stating ur particular choosen number and as a proof that u are now the owner of the number.. the number is now floating.. according to jpj law, u have to register the number to any new/unregistered vehicle within 3 months but last week i ask the officer they said maximum is 6 months b4 u loose the title to that number.. icon_rolleyes.gif

the price i get is a bit expansive as i in sabah.rm330 include installation.i saw in motor trader(books) there is rm160 include installation fee in k.l but not sure what brand.mine is F-1 brand which is calculated extractor.some cheap extractor is not calculated so will lose power n loud sound after install.

i had done voltage stabilizer,ground wire,platinum plug,power air flow fan,air cleaner...those all not improve your car's pick up.so don't waste those money.wan pick up go change extractor 4-2-1.i'm sure u will felt the different.

FC still in calculate as i just install it.will get back to u all after it.

base on ur guys experience, 10-40w, 15-50w, 5-40w, which one will be more suitable for the campro engine?

i heard that either 5-40w or 10-40w is the best for campro, but 15-50w is heavy and the the FC is bad for campro engine.

is that true?

well..from my view...the first 3 service at PESC..i had used 20w50...well..after 3rd service, i started to use 10w40 and recently 5w40....i can say 10w/5w40 oil is allright...the car is lighter to move from traffic light and the revving is lighter....not to mention the engine sounded smoother...option is urs... tongue.gif

Yesterday, bought Bendix titanium stripe General CT(1 for my Persona, another set for Waja)...Before i have replaced the oem bosch pad with FeRoDo, not really satisfied with it..see post below

mileage/usage: 0-10k km (6months)
product: Bosch brake pad..proton genuine oem pad

mileage/usage:10-20k km(8months)
product: FeRoDo Zero
comments:
- exhibit some noise, screeching noise ...
- it tends to get overheat, during downhill braking(Genting, balik pulau or spirit driving). Metal burning smells..YEAKKSS..It does not like high temperature as advertised, real disappointed. shakehead.gif
- not really peform during cold, it is slightly better under hard braking
- the worst is the edge tear off piece by piece, wink.gif still can use sand paper to flatten the surface but.. doh.gif doh.gif wink.gif refer pic below(d) decided to throw this away...i


a) FeRoDo Zero and BenDix Titanium stripe..
user posted image

b) A fresh brake pad should have 0.9-1cm thickness.
user posted image

c) FeRoDo Zero, still have 65% thickness, equivalent to ~6cm after doing 10k km...

ignatiuslu.. really not loud after those new mods u did??

n really the pickup is much much better??

very intriguing indeed.. been searching for ways 2 improve campro pickup, guess urs is the best ive heard so far..

if the extractor alone, would give the same result or need the muffler as well??

do u think it'll work on auto persona too??

really not loud.u can use ur original muffler 1st if want.but i'm sure u cant get 100% power from ur new extractor if do so as the oem muffler block quit a lot gas out.but u do can try change extractor 1st but maintain the oem muffler.i'm sure u got improvement by using oem muffler oso.if use oem muffler sure they like oem muffler sound only.but if wan change muffler make sure its Jasma approve n not make in local.those local i'm sure u will regret of it noisy sound.this is wat my mechanic told me.now my car engine more smooth compare to b4.engine sound more quite now.

the improvement...ya quit alot.i can simply "buang" my fren vios in traffic light now.for normal driving i normally change gear at 4k rpm but now 3rpm i can change edi.u can feel the improvement from 2k rpm-5k rpm respond after change.

so long didnt posting here, I am very satisfield with my Persona

the only one thing i hope it could improve is, the steering angle. Do you guys realize that Proton car can not make U turn with small angle?

Everytime I am make U turn almost need to prepare more space to turn it, else will need to turn it 2 times sweat.gif

I think the Persona car has the plugs necessary to install the captor tracking device

if you sayang your car then check captor

my fiends got cars with captor, and the one friend who had captor and his car stolen (harrier) captor helped to recover back

hey guys i just did 10000 km service at the ss13 SC.

they put in 10w-40 oil engine oil for me...previously i did my services at mutiara damansara SC and they used 20w/50. Is this normal?

and also, they put in semi synthetic oil for me this time and they asked me to come back 5000 km later...abit rip off right?

luckily i saw the service booklet and it says to come back 10000 km later..

what is your opinion on this? besides that, i asked them to check my reverse sensors which were going cuckoo but it doesnt seem like they did anything....

quite dissappointed...but they did give free car wash though...which was a plus point...and their service was faster compared to the Mutiara Damansara one.

yea..its normal....in fact using 10w40 engine oil is lighter than 20w50..so u can expect lighter pedal feel and slightly lower in fuel consumption....10w40 is ideal for the engine because the engine oil is lighter, thus resulting better pickup..

standard oil change is every 5000km....but u can extend it to 6000km if u 1......unless u use fully synthetic where u can stretch up to 10000km but u can change early if u stuck in jam or frequent revving...

reverse sensors??..is it the beep sounded soft?...if it is...then is normal...

No it's not the soft issue....it's sometimes my sensors beep at irregular rhythm so i cannot gauge how far away the obstacle is.
the problem just started to occur recently only.

any ideas what's wrong?

most probably the one i bought is fake wink.gif sweat.gif

Bendix GeneralCT is better than FeRoDo from my initial impression after doing 300kilometres.
- less noisy
- no more screehing noise till now..

I had the brake pedal adjust tighter but cannot too tight..month end CNY or next month Thaipusam, i go Genting try again..hehe

hi, i just hit 5k millege now, and the disc brake also skim before. Now the braking sound still presist despite i had go service it 2days ago.
The mechanic told me i need to change my brakepad whenever the disc brake is being skim.

hi, i just hit 5k millege now, and the disc brake also skim before. Now the braking sound still presist despite i had go service it 2days ago.
The mechanic told me i need to change my brakepad whenever the disc brake is being skim.
Any nice brakepad to recomend? I dun wanna use back original brakepad as it produce a lot of habuk and cause my front rim very dirty.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/903569

Since yours only 5k km, disc and rotors shouldn't be the cause. Disc brake i think can skim only twice, after that can throw away dee..

By skimming, the disc rotors thickness has been reduced, if it is lower than minimum thickness allow or the disc has been at minium thickness.. it can reduce braking efficiency because of it cannot dissipate heat faster, thinner than specified disc rotors can cause the rotor to warp.

It may cause leaking too because of the piston at caliper push outward too much..

Usually, after skimming, it is adviseable to replace with new pad. But if you insist not to replace, still can use because after bedding in and rubbing, the pad can 'match' the disc..

I think Proton shall replace us with a replacement unit ler...mine also same, scraping noise. But now using 3rd set of new pad, BenDix General CT..so far i can't heard any noise notworthy.gif

Its not i dun want to change the brakepad, i scare later change liao still got habuk then not nice. Need to survey first. Somemore, when they skim my milledge just 4k km.
Roadstar said brakepad is not under warranty, i need to pay for it. Let said i go outside change my brakepad will i still having warranty or not? Go out change i can choose the brand i like and cheaper labour charge also.

Did your SA submit the application? My SA submitted on Monday and that day itself called me already.

Didn't do much. It's actually up to their discretion. I was lucky I guess. I just ask them to try give lower rate then he said he will see what he can do. The next day I called back, loan approved already.

I think if normal Persona, should be faster. I booked SE so longer as my SA said production for SE slower. He estimates maybe beginning to mid February initially but that day he called me and said maybe longer. I read somewhere that a forumer booked end Dec and should be able to get in 3 weeks. Not sure whether 08 or 09 model. I also heard that '08 SE models are sold out? hmm.gif

He said he submitted already but i dont feel like he know what he's doing. I'll try call maybank tomorrow and see. This guy cant be trusted, say buy plate number need loan letter. Say apply ambank is superfast, cuz have panel inside. None is true.

Persona se need so long to be out? damn, my plate number cant wait. It says one month (so deadline is 12feb). Anyone know how to extend it?

Actually, I think really need loan letter as stated in JPJ's site but in reality not sure la. It's best that you chase your SA or call the bank personally.

SE long? That's what I heard from my SA la. But I called him today and he said the main HQ said can start booking for '09 SE already so he submitted my booking already. Hope can get the car soon. Can't wait to be a Personarian tongue.gif

Oh, what I meant is your credit history. Not necessarily only loan. Your prompt credit card payments, current liabilities, salary, etc.. all comes into play. Actually, I was expecting Maybank to be slow (as mentioned somewhere) but fortunately it was not the case. Actually, on the first day they called, I could have known if the loan was approved but his superior was not around so it dragged.

OIC, pardon my ignorance notworthy.gif I'm not experienced in these matters.

Then is it true that booking of numbers can only be done in slots of 2000? For eg. Let's say you wanna book 4444 but the current running is 1234. So you cannot book 4444 until the running reaches 2000-4000 slot?

Wow, that almost half a year! Did you extend it to 6month? I book my number at the last counter, counter 6 at setapak. the form you fill in is it call "Borang Tempahan Nombor Pendaftaran Kenderaan Secara Pilihan"?
This is the form from JPJ (http://portal.jpj.gov.my/v5/index.php/ms/Download-document?gid=57)

Owen, I think a bit difficult la, especially 2000 somemore. I have been to a couple of showrooms but all said no discount for SE models, even 2008 SE models! Discount only applies to normal 2008 model personas cos they wanna clear stock. Unless you are in a hurry for a car, it's better to get an 09 model since it's already January now. Better resale value, can be up to 2-3K difference sometimes. IMO, I think the discount is not worth it as you will be getting a "1 year old" new car. Anyway, I think HQ has stopped production for 08 models and beginning 09 models.

I cannot contain my excitement! I just collected my car a few hours ago. Right on time for CNY. My greatest ang pow ever! rclxm9.gif

However, I am a bit disappointed. Why? Because:

1. I also have the intermittent door unlocking problem when I turn off the engine. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. However, I believe if you follow the cycle religiously, it works most of the time. The cycle meaning start car -> close door -> release h/brake to lock -> drive (optional) -> pull h/brake -> turn off engine (not too fast)

2. My rear seat (left side) is stuck. It won't come up. SA told me to get it fixed on first service. Don't be mistaken, not the part that comes down 60:40, it is the part where you rest your a$$ on. It is supposed to come up and rest against the back of the front seat so that the 60:40 part can come down flat.

3. Front passenger window visor flattened. According to SA is manufacturing defect so change on first service.

4. Fuel guzzler. When I collected the car from showroom, the fuel needle was at the last notch (my SA said he pumped RM10). Drove the car back to my house (SS2) from Glenmarie (Subang) and then to Glenmarie again (To send my SA back) then by the time I got into Subang, the fuel indicator light is lit and needle at "e". So went to pump until the nozzle clicked (supposed to be full right? about RM50+). Guess what, the fuel needle never point at "f" but a notch below. Is this normal?

But other than the matters above (biasala, Proton ma), I can say that I am happy with the car. No regrets. Noise insulation is bearable.
Power wise, can't really comment as the engine is still new but low torque is much more drivable although it sounds a bit rough after 3K RPM. Didn't feel the 2800rpm vibration as mentioned in some forums.
Handling feels quite stable and the seats are comfortable. One grouse I have is the butt - its too high! Thankfully for the reverse sensor.
For a 60K car, cannot complain la. What more can I ask for? (Er..maybe a CPS engine...haha.)

I cannot contain my excitement! I just collected my car a few hours ago. Right on time for CNY. My greatest ang pow ever!  rclxm9.gif

However, I am a bit disappointed. Why? Because:

1. I also have the intermittent door unlocking problem when I turn off the engine. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. However, I believe if you follow the cycle religiously, it works most of the time. The cycle meaning start car -> close door -> release h/brake to lock -> drive (optional) -> pull h/brake -> turn off engine (not too fast)

2. My rear seat (left side) is stuck. It won't come up. SA told me to get it fixed on first service. Don't be mistaken, not the part that comes down 60:40, it is the part where you rest your a$$ on. It is supposed to come up and rest against the back of the front seat so that the 60:40 part can come down flat.

3. Front passenger window visor flattened. According to SA is manufacturing defect so change on first service.

4. Fuel guzzler. When I collected the car from showroom, the fuel needle was at the last notch (my SA said he pumped RM10). Drove the car back to my house (SS2) from Glenmarie (Subang) and then to Glenmarie again (To send my SA back) then by the time I got into Subang, the fuel indicator light is lit and needle at "e". So went to pump until the nozzle clicked (supposed to be full right? about RM50+). Guess what, the fuel needle never point at "f" but a notch below. Is this normal?

But other than the matters above (biasala, Proton ma), I can say that I am happy with the car. No regrets. Noise insulation is bearable.
Power wise, can't really comment as the engine is still new but low torque is much more drivable although it sounds a bit rough after 3K RPM. Didn't feel the 2800rpm vibration as mentioned in some forums.
Handling feels quite stable and the seats are comfortable. One grouse I have is the butt - its too high! Thankfully for the reverse sensor.
For a 60K car, cannot complain la. What more can I ask for? (Er..maybe a CPS engine...haha.)

u r rite mr.dk. persona is sometime underrated. notworthy.gif I love driving it. However..like u..me oso notice some problem with sitting. alto some part got sticker for quality check but on sitting is none seen.

Car loan interest rate is fixed. It doesn't matter bank negara announced reduction in interest rate...so, my advise is put more downpayment if you can afford.

Maybe potential buyer can on hold their purchase first, let's wait for this coming weeks(after CNY). See what Proton response to loan interest rate..no hurry since economic has slump, lead time shouldn't be too long.

I read from MTM forum, Persona brake servo is smaller that caused spongy brake. Gen2 has bigger master brake pump..if it can fit, i think i am going to buy G2 master brake pump and replaced the current 1.
Such a heavy car, 12xxkg with small brake servo..Waalao eh Proton rclxub.gif

Congrats on your new car. I know, it is quite hard to resist the temptation of flooring it especially if it is a new car but I will take it easy till after 1000km...hehe.

My SA installed the brake lock for me as a bonus. Pretty neat. When it is locked, the engine won't start. Something like Locktech but I think it's another brand.

my rulez of new car...push to limit!! drool.gif

yes, the manual said you have to hv run-in period within 1000km..but i follow other type of run-in...not sure right or not but it's proved me something to my other car kelisa..googled 'break-in'. last time when i bought kelisa, SA ask me to push hard bcoz u r under warranty, so..you'll know what is right or wrong..

i did almost everything yesterday..from speeding 160 to emergency break..then notice the sitting lock got problem bcoz its open once i hv the break! never have car with abs b4, do abs lite will lite when its activated? blush.gif

but then its up to individual.. icon_rolleyes.gif

after the noozle click, actually you can pump more than rm10 if you let the gasses from the tank come out.

Dont be fooled by the meter.Calculate on your own. My meter showed 6L/100kmh, but the actual FC was 10.8L/100km. Anyway, thats the idea; Proton = Piece of junk

Anyone has a problem with their fuel gauge and got it fixed? What I mean is that when you pump full petrol (until the pump click), the fuel gauge does not show 'full'. I have seen Persona owners complain about this before but I haven't seen a solution.

I cannot contain my excitement! I just collected my car a few hours ago. Right on time for CNY. My greatest ang pow ever!  rclxm9.gif

However, I am a bit disappointed. Why? Because:

1. I also have the intermittent door unlocking problem when I turn off the engine. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. However, I believe if you follow the cycle religiously, it works most of the time. The cycle meaning start car -> close door -> release h/brake to lock -> drive (optional) -> pull h/brake -> turn off engine (not too fast)

2. My rear seat (left side) is stuck. It won't come up. SA told me to get it fixed on first service. Don't be mistaken, not the part that comes down 60:40, it is the part where you rest your a$$ on. It is supposed to come up and rest against the back of the front seat so that the 60:40 part can come down flat.

3. Front passenger window visor flattened. According to SA is manufacturing defect so change on first service.

4. Fuel guzzler. When I collected the car from showroom, the fuel needle was at the last notch (my SA said he pumped RM10). Drove the car back to my house (SS2) from Glenmarie (Subang) and then to Glenmarie again (To send my SA back) then by the time I got into Subang, the fuel indicator light is lit and needle at "e". So went to pump until the nozzle clicked (supposed to be full right? about RM50+). Guess what, the fuel needle never point at "f" but a notch below. Is this normal?

But other than the matters above (biasala, Proton ma), I can say that I am happy with the car. No regrets. Noise insulation is bearable.
Power wise, can't really comment as the engine is still new but low torque is much more drivable although it sounds a bit rough after 3K RPM. Didn't feel the 2800rpm vibration as mentioned in some forums.
Handling feels quite stable and the seats are comfortable. One grouse I have is the butt - its too high! Thankfully for the reverse sensor.
For a 60K car, cannot complain la. What more can I ask for? (Er..maybe a CPS engine...haha.)

for new proton owner..don expect everything perfect when u just gotten ur car delivered, cos that period will arise some issue for u to settle with the service centre.
Go to the official service centre such as glenmarie or Batu3 proton HQ.they give u full inspection unlike others dealers, 1st service is very important becos they will re-adjust ur ECU and transmission blabla thing.
ur car will be fuel guzzler while new...after 1st service, FC will be lower and ur car will not as powerful as freshly delivered. this happened to all brand of cars.

My car FC meter shows 6.5+ in KL/city drive and 5.5 at North South Highway, my mileage is 400-450km/ tank (persona 2008 iafm *should be 40 L tank*)
actual FC should be around 10L/100km(now fuel is cheap so don bother)

overall, the car has smoother driving compare to my dad's waja cps.
and the car more stable in high speed, bcos its rather heavy.
the problem i met:
air-con(fixed), power window(fixed), boot remote sensor(fixed), steering remote buttons(fixed), noise from back seat(fixed) and 1 manufacture defected wheel barring(claim and fixed in same day)

keep on noticing ur car and let it be fixed as soon as possible. its a way to take care ur car too.

thx niv86, from my research through forums, I have gathered that there will be problems so I already had some form of readiness for these kinds of matters. But your advice is much appreciated. icon_rolleyes.gif

I am still waiting to hear about the fuel gauge solution cos I wanna know if it will correct itself over time or I need to change it during my 1K km service.

I think it is fuel filler neck problem, unable to fully pump petrol, the gauge still show 1bar less ...

Added on January 31, 2009, 11:32 amyesterday noon i pump full tank. Midnite travel at highway.

travel route: 90% North south highway + 10% penang town driving..all the way no traffic jam
total distance: 137.8 km
FC meter shows 8.5L/100km
est. fuel consumpt: 0.153cents per km

today morning i go and pump full tank again, pump stop at rm23, managed to put in rm24.52...That calculated into real test figure 0.1669 - 0.1779 cents per km. nod.gif

ralf, how long have you had your car? Did you ask the SC about it? It's damn annoying that the pump clicks but only to find out after you start the car the meter is 1 bar less than full.

I am interested in getting the Persona too.
There is this CNY promotion when I asked today.
They discount RM1888 (ang pao) and another RM1000 for 2008 model.
So total can discount RM2888.
Thought it was quite a bargain....

But I read through the last few pages of this thread to check if the Persona has any serious problems....
From what I read, there is this meter not displaying the correct fuel level problem and also wind noise problem due to the side mirrors....
These are hardly what I call "serious" issues, but worth taking note.

Anyway, my real question now is...

"Are there any really big issues I should know about the Persona?"

Would really appreciate it if the owners here can help.
Thank you! notworthy.gif

the fuel system can be solve according to some of the persona club members.
proton cars come with 2 years, 40k warranty.
any issue happened during the period, can be fixed free.
and for my batch, i received another 3-5years warranty using my insurance...
only for campro engine and transmission.

my persona give me issue which is solvable...meaning not that Big problems u looking for.
engine run smoothly, gear box still working nicely, car riding steadily.
my car is 9 months old.

if the car is already there, aspect about 1 week for the e-hakmilik and other jpj stuff to settle..
for me i pay the downpayment same day after signing the aggreement at bank (pay to the dealer). first month installment wait for the bank document to be sent to ur home.. do note that the payment schedule do varies from bank to bank.. some bank requires 1st installment upfront.. some don't

hi guys... im new here n Persona owner.... can i join on Persona owner list..??
anyway, my car 5 month old.... with IAFM (M)... Metal Grey... actually, this car more better that wira n iswara...

i read about few problem here.... and i have solution after research with my mechanic.... Not proton service mechanic.... (they almost useless)...

anyway, i write some solution on here.... the main point is, Persona don't have major problem... all little tiny minor problem where can fixed it....

1. heard wind sound when u take accelerate up after press down on gear N position...
SOLUTION= The sound came from air filter box when it suck the air.... same like change to turbo air filter....

2. Fuel meter problem where it didn't show up correctly...
SOLUTION= Need to chance the Fuel meter equipment at Fuel tank where the thing can measure the Fuel... its on under the back seat.... its, is PROTON WARRANTY... so, don't be sad... its free...

3. Weird sound(engine Noisy then Normal) when driving at 100km...
SOLUTION= It is Normal.... its coz, the engine start to pickup with high fuel consumption... its make the car more pickup or faster acceleration... its can go easily fast when u press the accelerate littlebit... so, it can easy when u wan to overtake other vehicle .....

4. Radio or CD Player Jammed....
SOLUTION= Its Chips problem at fuse box... u just take it out(the Radio Memory Chips) and put it back... it will ok now...

5. Alarm Problem when u lock the car.... after few second lock the car, the siren on and noise...
SOLUTION= The rubber at bottom of door side at body is the problem... it is door switch cover where can detect the door is lock or not... coz, the heat of sun the rubber lose the flexibility... so, u just ask proton service mechanic to put some liquid for make the rubber flexible...

6.weird sound at front tyre or bumper when drive at unstable road or path like Ramp....
SOLUTION= Coz, some bolt or nut are Loose... just ask the mechanic tie up correctly...

7. Weird Sound(tik..tik..tik..tik..) at under the passenger dashbord side...
SOLUTION= it is central lock sound... Normally its sound two times after u press the brake before lock the door... but, sometimes it sound more then 2 times.... don't be scared... it is normal... don't panic.... it is just control box sound...

8.Weird wind Sound from aircond...
SOLUTION= It is normal... the sound came when the aircond compressor suck the air from inside the car... if u put the setting of aircond to suck the air from outside, u cant hear it.... u can hear the same sound at WAJA...

9.White smooke from Aircond blower...
SOLUTION= Don't panic... its normal thing... coz, the air at outside is hotter then inside... so, it is physics...

10.The 2nd gear hard to in...
SOLUTION= Tell the mechanic about it when u go to 1st service at proton service.. he will put the gear treatment.... then it will be smooth...


THIS IS THE PROBLEM NORMALLY OWNER GET ON PERSONA.... AND I WRITE SOME SOLUTION FOR THAT THERE.... IF ANYONE HAVE OTHER PROBLEM... PLS ASK IT... I WILL ANSWER U SHORTLY.....

for me i pay the downpayment same day after signing the aggreement at bank (pay to the dealer). first month installment wait for the bank document to be sent to ur home.. do note that the payment schedule do varies from bank to bank.. some bank requires 1st installment upfront.. some don't

Waaa.. already V5 lorr.. make me even more proud to be one of Persona owner/driver smile.gif Bravo!!

read thru.. and I think some Q not answered yet, so, juz sharing what I know. If already being answered, Ok lorr..

1) change of brakepad outside using other brand brakepad won't affect your warranty. As brakepad is a consumable parts.. checked with proton edar service center person when done my 40000km service.

2) fill in fuel but meter's needle doesn't show to 'F' ... there's a reply abt it's the gas that make u think u already fillin fuel till it's full. Maybe U shud try fillin till it overflow one time. and see whether the needle show to 'F' or not... if still not showing to 'F' after overflow, can go report kaw-kaw @ service center

3) Major problem with persona? The car itself is lovely and satisfying to me. In my opinions, the major problem is with Proton service center... some juz tipu-tipu fixing stuff we complained, some curi minyak, some tell us still no parts (proton made in UK ah to tell me no parts?)... too much craps to entertain ler for their service.. so, need more of your patients and $$$ ...
want less problem with after sales service.. buy expensive cars ler.. like honda/mercedes/ferrari?

Happy.. happy... my persona is soo cute that all cars want to bang her... but, it's still running after more than a year now smile.gif

if u service outside, not all ur car parts warranty will get voided...

afaik, when u service outside, ur engine warranty will get voided...

its not tht i recommend to u guys to service outside, its juz sometimes service outside is far more better than sc...

if u scared bout ur warranty parts, then dun service ur car outside, for ur peace of mind...

Well, let me voice up some of my persona problem:-

my reverse sensor is too sensitive i think.. Sometimes there is no obstacles behind me , it beeps strongly like going to hit things already.. I asked the proton guy before, they say because rainy day or got mist(water) and the sensor detect it .. I am unsure about this whether the reverse sensor is that sensitive ? seems like my reverse sensor cant work after I wash my car or at rainy day where the car is a bit wet . Should I complaint?

Another thing, the persona air-cond is not so strong already.. Last time the it can blow very strong but now it seems like get stuck ..the wind is so weak, and I need to turn almost to the max to get a strong wind. Is is I need to service the air-filter or perform cleansing?

Thanks for all your advise here, greatly appreciate it smile.gif

ok i quote from Motor Trader forum.. this is posted by Slingshot..

QUOTE
Gklai..... i remember you mentioned something abt air cond flow distribution. Just to add to that...do you know that the aircond system for Persona comes with an interior dust filter????
This filter is located somewhere under the passanger side leg room. You may wanna clean it every forthnight just to have full air flow. If you feel that the airflow has deteriorated after sometime...look for this filter. Its very simple thing to do. There is a clip holding it. Just peep underneath the leg room and look for the clip. Unfasten the clip and pull out the filter. Clean it with running water and re-install it. Thats all. If you don't understand just ask the SC to demonstrate and you can DIY the next time.

Not sure what information you are looking for but the difference between the normal persona meter and the persona SE meter is the printed pattern and the backlight. The Persona SE meter is the same as the current Gen2 cps meter.

Oic... ok, basically, there is a static display and cyclic display. The static display is the one that shows the odometer (total distance travelled, non-resettable) and the cyclic display cycles through clock, trip meter, engine running time, estimated L/100km and distance to go before refuel (may not be in that order, I'm just writing through memory).

Hey guys,

Recently my 9 month old persona started having problems...the engine light now comes on when i start the car up...the car has no power whatsoever...i need to step real hard to get the car going...and idling speed is 500 rpm...car can mati also when ilding...

I have sent my car to SC for checkup but they said no major problems, just a faulty sensor or smth...

but after i collected my car and drove it home...for the first 10 km everything was back to normal...but suddenly the problem came back..
my car loss its power and the vibration was real harsh...and of course the engine light came back on.

Now my car is back in the SC...but i would like to ask the sifus here what may be the problem ah? last time my friend had a problem like this also and apparently it was due to a faulty fuel pump...anyone can explain?

try to open the boot lining. open your boot and open the carpet covering it. the reverse sensor module is hidden inside there. just pull out the power cable i think its a 4 pin white connector. or u can shoose to disconnect the sensor cables from the same box.

Oh gosh!

It cant be switched off rclxub.gif

I dont think pulling the plug (4pin connector like what laytiong said) would be wise thing to do cuz Im not the only driving the car, my cousin borrow my car quite frequent and she rely on the reverse sensor sometimes (u know lah..... lady driver) sweat.gif

if you choose comfort tyre, noise is almost the same. Performance tyre is all noisy..
Cornering improve, Yes !! those performance tyre sidewall is harder to prevent flex..ride height has been lower by 2cm! hehe...

The only disadvantage is FC..new wheel is smaller in radius.

Hey guys,

Recently my 9 month old persona started having problems...the engine light now comes on when i start the car up...the car has no power whatsoever...i need to step real hard to get the car going...and idling speed is 500 rpm...car can mati also when ilding...

I have sent my car to SC for checkup but they said no major problems, just a faulty sensor or smth...

but after i collected my car and drove it home...for the first 10 km everything was back to normal...but suddenly the problem came  back..
my car loss its power and the vibration was real harsh...and of course the engine light came back on.

Now my car is back in the SC...but i would like to ask the sifus here what may be the problem ah? last time my friend had a problem like this also and apparently it was due to a faulty fuel pump...anyone can explain?
*
hey the SC couldn't solve my problem...the technician said that its ECU problem and asked me to go to Glenmarie or COE to fix. Now i have booked an appointment with Mutiara Damansara SC but the problem is my car can't start now... there is a sound when i turn the ignition but my car won't ignite...What should i do now guys?

Do SCs provide towing services? Can i call the SC tmrw and tell them to come and tow my car?

If this is true, then i can conluded our Campro is dated engine which is in 80's era where the manufacturer recommend thicker viscosity oil.

sori to hear tht bro onlyforthecars, its a rarely case such as urs...

in the manual book, its stated recommended engine oil is 20w-50, but if u think logically, tht grade is mainly for old cars, whr the oil is thicker...

when the oil is thicker, ur car pickup will b slightly decreased, even most otai campro also said 10w-40 is the best one for our campro..

if ur engine is new, its not a prob to use 10w-40...

HaHA thanks bro Ultima... I did so much research before i bought the car, i followed this thread for about 3-4 months prior to purchasing the car and also other forums. I seriously thought it would have been a good car hahah.....Oh well...btw when u are free can you add me to the list....my ride's a Irridescent White H-Line Auto year 2008.

Added on February 11, 2009, 8:56 pmMy car is back!!!

2.30 pm sent to Mutiara Damansara SC and at 5 o clock they already called back...apparently the ss13 who did my 10k km service did not install the spark plugs properly when they replaced them. Not only that, my car was sent in and out twice to that place but they still could not solve the problem. whereas Mutiara DAmansara, 2.5 hrs everything settle....

SIENSSSS....moral of story: Boycott ss13 SC wei...waste time only...

Wow, i sign mine on sat, then pay today. I also cannot get the color i want, originally Persona SE red, now blue (but still ok for me)

The SA told me need at least a week to process everything. Is that true? Because i saw the car already, park in front of the showroom.

well, my SA told me i can wait if i want my color, but i dont want to risk getting the car after march, no more rebate liao laugh.gif

Yes, it should be around a week. During my mum bought the blm, they need time for the banker draf to cash in, then register with jpj and insurance company (if u let them do it for u).

Speaking of which, my SA told me my car already at the proton and awaiting for the delivery to branch that should take 2 or 3 days (he said they got system to check). So actually i'm just a bit hesitate whether should i signed the agreement and pay the dp tomorrow sweat.gif

Wow rave and heaven, congrats man! rclxms.gif

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 mad.gif . 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! biggrin.gif 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. mad.gif . 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! vmad.gif Why isn't P1 coming up with a solution..hello! It's not one or two cars, man! Geez...

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 doh.gif ..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?)

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..

Laytiong, I will give it a try when I go to SC again but I doubt it is the problem cos it's not really a knocking sound but a rattling sound. Something is definitely loose but no way to pinpoint the area. It's driving me nuts. vmad.gif

In proper sentence from wiki, "Cruise control (sometimes known as speed control or autocruise) is a system that automatically controls the rate of motion of a motor vehicle. The driver sets the speed and the system will take over the throttle of the car to maintain the same speed." icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm using GY NTC5 tyre, will the grip improve if i use better brand tyre? or i need upgrade to 205 wide tyre and 16' rim?

i think is normal for the tyre to make rough noise when cornering......mayb kancil the wind noise and engine noise is noiser so u might not hear the sound......im using continental...cornering also got noise, my other car also cornering does give a rough noise on the tyre...so just chill..bro... laugh.gif

Sunday cruising, have some fun on there only biggrin.gif sometimes can meet TBS. teluk bahang speedster at there..crazy fast..
video show it's slow but in fact almost push to the limit already...PerSona brake is so spongy..have to tap the brake early, else the wheel will jam..Latio, City, Civic brakes are much more better in terms of brake feel..
the last time the ride was on 195/60/15 tyre, every corner during downhill also screech...Now the Briggy rubber provide plenty of grip, minimal wheelspin..

also check the carpet..
persona have 2 carpet.. too thick that it can refrain the pedal from 'flooring'..
for auto, flooring can rev the engine up to 6k rpm (maybe more?) before shifting.. what you guys think?

Change your motor oil in the next service preferably to fully synthetic, after 2nd service the RPM is much better. I'm already on 21k mileage, just changed to 30w Castrol 30w, much better now than before

improvement, can't feel it. sad.gif Yeap, already flush the ATF last 2months(31st-Dec-08)

i use shell and petronas because only Petronas available at PESC, other service dealer only offer SHELL. sad.gif

So far the ride has been serving me well. No worry, engine will last you a long time but Not for transmission. Auto gearbox is fragile and so for manual(the clutch and synchromesh thingy).

For manual, if you throw and downshift every single speed at redline, the synchromesh worn out pretty quick thus result in metal clanking during gearchange. Wheelspinning/drift with the control of clutch...the clutch can burn even it is only race for one time. smile.gif
For auto, when there's slugghish and very very slow response, slowly or later it won't shift gear at all..there's the time to replace gearbox smile.gif

Campro sounds nice, fit with low and rumbling muffler brows.gif brows.gif it Roars like an imitation american muscle.. brows.gif
