Perodua Bezza Advance - Car Battery Replacement

Perodua Bezza 5th Service - 24 Months/40,000km

Done the 5th service for the Perodua Bezza 1.3 Advance about 3 weeks ago. It is a considered a major service says the Perodua rep. Mine was completed in 1 hour 45 minutes, which is faster than I had expected. Skipped the auto-transmission fluid change since it was replaced on my previous service. The mechanics will need more time if it includes auto-transmission fluid servicing. I went ahead with some optional items which is the windshield washer, injector cleaner and battery terminal protector. The rest of the items are the usual; engine oil, gasket, oil filter, cabin filter. I was told that the better air filter replacement  will cost more than double, so I chose the Pro-Ganti air filter instead. ProGanti Perodua Bezza Air Filter box.    The old and better Air Filter as claimed by the Perodua Rep.

Smartphone mount for Perodua Bezza - U-Green CD-slot mount

I have been using the U-Green CD-slot phone car mount holder for about 2 weeks. Here's my 2 cents view. The U-Green smartphone mount is cheap, sleek and a small-sized smartphone mount. It's not the best out there and comes with some drawbacks, but it's cheap and well-built. The smartphone does wobble when the car is going over harsh and bumpy roads. The biggest problem is the mount can slip out of the CD-slot when I try to mount my phone. A little diy Here's an easy DIY that will solve those two issues, wobbling and slippage ( out of the cd-slot). Since I don't use the CD function, I used a acrylic double-sided tape on the rear side of the mount. Now, the wobble on the mounted smartphone is hardly noticeable. It is better to use a good acrylic double-sided tape with high heat resistance. Good ones will last a long time and secures it well. And can be taken off without much effort leaving little residue on most surfaces.

Perodua Bezza 4th Service - 18 Months/30,000km

Six months is up and the Perodua Bezza Advance got it's fourth service just last week. Changed the engine oil, oil filter and gasket as usual. Optionally, I went for a transmission fluid change and a new cabin filter. Perodua Bezza transmission fluid The manufacturer's recommendedation for transmission fluid change is at 40,000km. But I was not comfortable on how the transmission responded lately, so I chose to do it earlier. After that fluid change, the transmission feels so much smoother. My cabin filter was quite dirty because I wind down my car windows alot, so I've opted for a new one.
