The stereo problem would come to an end for the coming new SE. It would
be a DIN 2 unit which allows you to upgrade to other after market brand.

i have black myvi sxi, buy on end of july 2007.. 1st month i use, my gear
box i don`t feel smooth.. it hard to switch sometimes and always VIBRATE
during drive if i touch.. then i sent to Perodua SC to get 1st service.. i
don`t feel different with my gear box...

on 3rd service period (10,000-11,000) in 17 dis 2007 , i sent my myvi sxi
for service.. i dont know why they replace my spark plug.. then...

4th service ( 15,000)(25 feb 2008), i also sent myvi sxi to this SC
again...BUT before
4TH service, my MYVI got new PROBLEMS.... ALL MY POWER WINDOWS
MALFUNCTION.. ONLY DRIVERS POWER WINDOWS SWITCH WORKS..(3 PASSENGER POWER
WINDOWS switch MALFUNCTION AT CENTRAL/DRIVER SWITCH)....
my brothers forget to tell the SC about this problems...

then i take an action after 2 month from 4th service at perodua SC..i
report at another BIG SC AT JB for this problem
and also for my gear box..they promise me to fix in two weeks later... but
UNTIL NOW 6 OCT 2008 i don`t receive any answers from
PERODUA to FIX my problem...

I EXPECT THE LOSS OF THIS SCREW DUE THE 3RD SERVICE AT PERODUA SERVICE
CENTRE... THEY REPLACE MY 6 MONTH SPARK PLUG ON 3RD SERVICE - SO they MUST
to pull out my AIR FILTER BOX to replace it RIGHT?... how bad sc job...

Most SCs have their own service schedule. It is ridicules, they don`t
follow Perodua recommended service schedule. I also kena spark plug
change twice, the 2nd change done after 4500km of the 1st change. Must
be mad to change plugs within 4500km, which is exactly what I told them.
Many items were changed well before listed time in Perodua service
manual. When I question them, all they can say is that it is their
service policy. Asked them why don`t follow Perodua recommendation……
Answer: “cannot follow book blindly”. Told them to go screw themselves. I
now follow Perodua service manual with my trusted mechanic. Next service,
I will change to fully synthetic oil.

Mine was registered Aug 2006. It`s now just over 2 years. For the last 2
years it`s been problem free. Now symptoms of problems are beginning to
show. I have the following symptoms:
1. Kok,kok sound from steering when the road is rough or broken
surface.
2. Squeaky sound from auto gearbox during gear change.
3. Fuel fume smell in the cabin if full tank of fuel.
I`ve only done 30k km. Inspite of the low mileage these problems have
appeared. My opinion is that the local content in this car is of poor
quality.

Owned Myvi for 18 months and I have replaced the following items:

1) 2 sets of Rotol disk due to vibrate during braking.

2) 2 sets of power steering pump.

3) 3 sets of power window.

4) 1 set of wheel bearing (front)

other than the above, I would give a good verdict to the VVTI engine that
proven to be very reliable, smooth and powerfull as compared to 1.3 saga.

Cheers.


Problem 1 = is normal

Problem 2 = what? 2 set power steering pump?

Problem 3 = is normal

Problem 4 = how is your driving style? my friend and family that own this car didn't report this problem before.

My friend/family that own Myvi report this few of problems:

1) radio sometimes hang. The CD can't be ejected and sometimes the radio automatically reset the radio station that preset at the radio. have to set again the channel

2) steering vibrate when braking

3) hand brake indicator at the meter faulty

4) power window switch faulty

5) the car got petrol smell after refuel full tank. if refuel half tank, the petrol smell got but not very obvious when put full tank

Hi guys

I have had my car for 2 years and I am very happy with it.

I drive back Penang- KL very often and thankfully the car has served me well. No plans to change the car anytime soon.

The problems I had:

1) Master power window - replaced 5x since new FOC due to engineering fault.

2) Brake rotor disc brake - sent for skimming and the problem resolved. Also did the wheel balancing to make sure all ok.

3) The petrol smell is normal as I also notice that too.

4) The glass window for front doors are very loose and have had them tightened. If I put half down and drive the glass vibrates and is annoying.

5) The latest problem is a stupid squeeking noise from the co-driver seat during highway trips. I am gonna DIY to have a look at it this weekend.

6) Also, water leaking at my co-driver side back door. Situation still not that bad yet. I am uncertain if it is the rubber or what. I shall test it out and see what I can do about it.

My car is 1.3 Auto so the consumption is a bit high than manual Myvi. But I feel it is still cheap to maintain. Also, a must is to check ur Auto gear oil every 20k.

To make the car comfortable: Install some good sound proofing foam and tint the glass coz Myvi glass very big.

Despite all this one thing I love about the Myvi is that it is fun to drive!!! biggrin.gif

Test driven my sister's Myvi last week... Comfy and fun to drive in the town. But on the highway handling not quite good (compared to my Conti lah). Butt heavy I guess and 'sampan'-like handling when taking corner at 130+km/h. smile_big.gif

It is good for what it is supposed to do. But not for racing lah...

1) fuel pump defected after 2yr++ (need 1.7k++ to replaced)
==> not happen yet (touch wood) smile_big.gif only experiencing when pump full tank, got petrol smell in the cabin. the smell will dissapear after finishing about half tank

2) comfort loss n interior noise after 2yrs (like my 8yrs wira)
==> agree with u. in the 1st-2nd years the car feels good but after 3rd year, the suspension begin to appear abnormal sound esp on uneven road. not sure is related to the nct5 tyres or not

3) engine suddenly die off due to temperature sensor.
==> not serious as u. so far, only experiencing engine vibrate like hell when idle. it intermittent. mechanic also not sure what happen

4) fuel comsuption high (full tank 280-300km)
==> agree. manual i not sure same or not

5) car feel underpower (during highway, hard to overtake car on 110kmh)
==> agree. is like 110kmh is the top speed for the car.

6) radio defect after 1yrs
==> i got fren radio always hang.

7) temperature sensor socket easily loose when change spark plug
==> not experience yet

8) ecu replacement
==> not experience yet
