Persona Elegance with many problems?

[joev8796]

First, u need to understand that persona use sensor to accelerate. Not a cable! So need o chane ur driving style. Or ur sensor is malfunction. Persona auto is the best. Manual a little problem

agreed dis. btw u can make it better by changin da adjustable cam gear, lighten crank pulley n oso da extractor

Guys, i just got my Persona M-line (auto)7 months ago and so far the fuel comsuption so far quite OK. It's running 7.9ltr/100km. Well, i just go for 80 - 100kmh++ and i make sure my rpm wont go more than 3k....=D

But i do have squeaking noise issue on my dashboard and weird sound on my rear absober (i think). When i go thru all the bumps the rear part of my car sure got some sort of noise. Is it because the absober got issue? Can i ask for the new absober?

Hello guys..Im a proud owner of the new persona elegance..Just bought mine brand new base line 2 months ago and so far is loving it. In terms of power i feel the 2nd generation of persona is quit good. I do face a few issue that is noise coming from the front suspension when driving on bumpy roads,dashboard consol below the cd player makes funny noise to sometimes. Mostly it sounds like common issues that dont realy bother me much..On terms of FC so far my mileage is around 3k and i get 10.5L for a 100kmh but if u ask me dont trust the meter coz i feel its much more safer then my iswara..I fill RM30/- and i can use for 5-6 days city driving..thats preety good..

bro, after 10000km, yr car will run smoother and u will feel lighter pedal since engine has run in, by then your FC should be not more than 8litre/100km.....mine running 7.1litre on average.
the squeking sound can be rectify, send to sc and they shall be able to assist.

about the rear squeking sound, not absorber, it is yr rear seat hook. u unhook the seat at yr back seat and tie some black loytape on the hook and slam it to lock the hook...the sound will go off.

Hi

I just booked my persona H-line auto solid white last week. is there any recomendation of reliable SC around PJ/subang/shah alam which i can send my persona for service in the future? looks like many problem arise partly due to the poor technician, hence need advise from the current persona owner on reliable SC. Thanks.

change your steering bush to super pro,then you'll know the diff....

Bro can give more info?

What is the model name? Price?

Will it void any warranties?

1 & half years into to owning my elegance h-line. I have been to various sc to correct various problems. The 2 most annoying which I have not rectified are:

1) alignment not staying straight for long. Very evident for me as I recently changed my tyres and after 50 km of highway driving, the alignment when off-centre to the left. Hope to rectify with your recommended solution. Therefor need more details.

2) lousy braking. This is my own doing as I changed the front pads to the rm70 ones. Good bite for light braking. Horrible if you need more say after 30% depressed on the brake pedal. As such, going to save for the rm300 brake pads, which have surprised me in terms of their ability to slow down the car in emergency.

Initially, feel the same as what many drivers have posted here, sluggish brake response. I notice you need to warm up the brakes a little and then they work fantastic. Just sharing my experience.

Looking forward to more info. Thanks in advance.

Hai guys..Talking about break problems, after using my car for the first 2 months i found that the front break disc was bent and the break was so sluggish. For my 5k service i complain to SC regard this issue and when check it was really bent and they replace me with a skim disc from a Gen2 modal. As per the SC mech the gen2 disc is much more better then the persona modal disc. Seriously i dont see any deference between both disc but once tested after it was much better then before.The breaking now is more responsive and i have confidence even in fast speed.

The only one problem that have not been resolved is the knocking metal sound coming from the front right suspension when on uneven roads..its kind of iritating and i have send to SC a few times and the problem is still not resolve..any idea guys??

super pro bush can get it from hokomoto kenneth - 012 210 5979 ,rm 140 including including install i recall.Then for the brake prob,get a set of imp braided brake hose / imp slotted disc / imp brake pad and you can be able to solve the problem if still persist then go kedai potong find a set of brake servo from mitsubishi model that can fit your car.For imp products u can get it from this guy -->andy 017 352 6055 resonable price n trustable man.If pick up having problem then change your exhaust system and car will perform better in low end.

hi guys,
i need to seek for some advise for my PE Auto (H-Line) 8months old car,
1. FC averagely 8-9l/100km (according to the display) is that okay? 90% City 10% highway

2. Recently i did change drop in filter to WORKs Eng. apparently its reducing my topend from 200++km ---> 180km. what/why is this happend?

3. Im planning to mod my ride, i saw you guys posted regarding extractor/exhaust system, i really interested to know more about it, please do give me some idea. Tx. (my exhaust system still original and i heard a lots about hotbits is good, but it seem expensive) pls advise tx

4. I also would like to know if mod to xenon motorsport turbo kits better / just do some mod on N/A ?

5. I also did mod on WORKs Eng. crank pulley & cam pulleys as well, what other thing that i can do for better performances.

6. Do i need to change the rims? what size of rims is perfect to use for good perfomance?

looking forward to you guys advises, im really have no idea. thank you.
Regards.

After read this, i'm scared to buy Persona but i think it's only car that is suitable for me at this time.

 

[lkc]

bro i think your top end is cause by the lighten crank pulley,not the air filter.

 

[lemonjuice_2]

Hi Ikc,
What ur opinion & advise for me to my questions?
Kindly give me some idea, thank you so much & well appreciate..
Regards.

 

[lkc]

bro,my opinion to you -

1.remove the LCP (cause it gives u gd pick up but not so gd top end)

2.go back to the workshop where you install the cam pulley & ask them to adjust the cam for more top end.

I'm not so sure if 2nd opinion will help or not but if you sayang want to take out your LCP then you can try opinion no 2 and by the way my case also same like yours at 1st,but i took out the lcp then problem gone.Then for your exhaust get a good 4-2-1 and the rest from down to muffler you can go any exhaust shop & do it.

 

[lemonjuice_2]

Hi bro IKC,

1. What did mean by LCP? Crank Pulley/Cam Pulley?
2. Im planning to change extractor 4-2-1 also in sunway wei hing? any comment?
Just to find out with you guys, my Q1 early posted regarding the FC averagely value is that okay?

Looking forward your reply, thanks.
Regards.
