Perodua Bezza

If you need to press the smart entry button for a few times to unlock or lock your car door, there is a good chance that the smart entry key battery is weak. I just replaced mine yesterday and the  smart key is as responsive when I got it new. Use a flat-head  screwdriver and position it in the little notch and pry open the cover. Original Panasonic CR2032 battery.  New CR2032 battery.   New battery fitted in. 

My Perodua Bezza Advance got it's 3rd service (12 months/20,000km) about a week ago. Just the usual engine oil and oil filter change, and cabin air filter replacement. Perodua Bezza cabin air filter.

The quality of the stock windscreen wipers of the Bezza is below average. The stock wiper is noisy and already has water streaks when it's wiping after 5 months. Windscreen and wipers are cleaned often and car rarely parked under the sun. Stock Perodua Bezza wiper. So, I decided it's time to replace it with a cheap set of Bosch Advantage wiper. Perodua Bezza wiper, 21" and 14" in length.  Graphite coating for better durability and less noise. Installation instructions. How to install.  Installation done.

The new Bezza 2017 is a product improvement instead of a facelift according to Perodua. Improvements Some of the changes/improvements are rear skirting garnish, instrument panel treatment (side register bezel,center register bezel, steering bezel, AT bezel, arm rest, air cond knob, center cluster), carpet mat extension ( combined center rear mat with right and left mat into 1 piece), dash insulator, suspension (absorber/spring change), new leather seat design. Rear skirting garnish It's obvious that the rear skirting garnish is to hide the spare tyre well that is located below the boot. All 1.3L variant owners with Gearup bodykit have an option to install the garnish for about RM200. There is no information whether owners without Gearup bodykit can add the extra extension/garnish for just RM200. Diffuser-like rear bumper extension. All these changes will be introduced only on all 1.3L variant, except for leather seat ( available only on 1.3L Advance).

Just sent my Perodua Bezza Advance for it's second service a few days ago. It costs about RM185 including battery protector. Parts also include engine oil, engine oil filter and gasket.

Just got this Perodua Bezza armrest online for RM115. Build quality is not bad and only time will tell how long the artificial leather will last. The color matches the existing leather seats on the Bezza so that's nice. The armrest covers over the USB charging port behind the handbrake. I won't be able to use the USB port unless I make a hole and mod it in a way that USB could be used, and probably add a handphone holder on the side of armrest. Some photos of the Perodua Bezza Armrest ABS. Inner support that slips into the existing phone holder in the center console. Screw and washer provided. Left: Longer armrest screw Right: Existing center console screw Two magnetic catch to hold the cover firmly. The maximum that you can open the cover because of the hook. I can still hang things there, just that it wouldn't hang straight down. A little obstruction when I need to pull and release the handbrake. *U
