Perodua Bezza Advance - Car Battery Replacement

By
Replaced the Start-Stop battery at a Perodua Service centre some months back. I couldn't find time to write and post this, better late than never I guess.

This Start-Stop battery for the Perodua Bezza Advance is on the high side for a budget car. It cost about RM450 which is double the price of normal car batteries. Any third party M42 equivalent battery is definitely cheaper than this. For example, Varta, Hankook, GS Yuasa sold by others. Here are some found on Shopee https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=m42%20battery . It's probably a good idea to buy and install it at the shop.

My Perodua Bezza Advance car battery lasted about 2 years and 5 months. Considering that the car is in the city with heavy traffic all the time, it's not too bad. Eco-idle mode was always in use for the first 6 months.

Some signs that the battery is giving up are:

1. Noticeable dimming of the headlights(all the time) when the aircond compressor comes on.
2. Headunit doesn't turn on properly or slow to turn on.
3. Really long cranking time before the car starts. This is probably the surest sign that the battery is giving up soon.

Call Perodua Assist to tow the car or use their help to jump start the car and drive to the nearest shop/Perodua service centre.

    Just an FYI for anyone reading in future, as of January 2023 the price is ~RM500 for a new Perodua Bezza start stop battery from official Perodua Service Center.

    I agree with the blog author that changing battery outside Perodua Service Center is cheaper.

Perodua Bezza - Headlight Bulbs

By
The Perodua Bezza's headlight uses a H11 55W bulb for it's low beam and a HB3 60W bulb for it's high beam. It is always a good idea to use the specified wattage rating bulbs if you are going to fit aftermarket bulbs. The fog lights on the Perodua Bezza uses the same H11 55W bulb. Price range for the H11 and HB3 seems to be on the high side compared to a H4 or H7 for example

Perodua Bezza Smart entry key - Battery Replacement

By
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.

Perodua Bezza first service - free inspection

By
My Perodua Bezza Advance was due for it's first service, so I had to drive to the service center. Made an appointment the day before. It was a good experience at the service center, as the staffs were friendly and efficient. Wait time for the free inspection was slightly under an hour and the car was ready. The staff recommended a battery terminal protector and windshield washer, it didn't cost much so I just ahead with it. Since I was at the service center, I bought a bottle of radiator coolant as well so that I can mix and top up the coolant at home. A bottle of radiator coolant(0.5L) for the Perodua Bezza cost RM13.90. I was told the next service which requires engine oil change will cost about RM190. Somehow they recommended an auto transmission fluid change on the 10000km mileage as well. The total bill will be RM290 if I agree to ATF change. Labor charge is free for the first three service. Recommended engine oil for Perodua Bezza 1.3 Advance is fully synthetic 0
