Hi just would like to add on to the questions
1. What size of the cooler is the right size suitable for both city (traffic jam) n highway (includes hill climb) .... I'm using hayden now so called 17row but felt crappy once drive long hours. 2. Anyone installed a temp sensor to monitor the gearbox temp before ? 3. Did anyone do soundproofing on their car and can i have some review ? Coz my budget is quite low |

QUOTE(NeuroOne @ Feb 27 2013, 02:49 AM) nice. .. pergh, abam Wan lurking kat sini ghupernye pictures will be nice. hehe..  jerking like gearbox jerks or jerking like not enough fuel or air? i guess its like the engine not getting enough fuel or air. this is tricky coz u change/service a lot of things sekaligus.. maybe ur AF ratio is disturbed. go to any proton service centre and ask them to retune back the ECU to get optimum AF ratio back. or u can check the airflow sensor, sparkplug and spark plug cable to see if its working ok..  |

I've blew my Perdana SEi gearbox two days ago and am aiming for manual tranny.
Any idea on what kind of transmission code should I be looking for and how much will it cost plus installation? I will be spending most of the time on the highway btw. Thanks. |

PM me if you want his details |

QUOTE(Perfectguy @ Feb 27 2013, 03:22 PM) hello guy... Sei will also have this problem, how soon, no one knows.right now im looking for a perdana to buy... the most worrying part is about the gearbox.. after i read many reviews about the problem of perdana v6 auto gearbox.. im afraid if im unlucky and buy a perdana with gearbox problem.. im looking for auto model only... can u guys tell me... is the perdana sei auto gearbox also have the same problem as the v6 gearbox? one thing u can do is, get a Perdana with ATF cooler installed or if its not, then go install it. it may prolong the health of the gbox. |

QUOTE(humongousgravy @ Mar 12 2013, 09:37 AM) Guys comparing Perdana v6 and cefiro which is more reliable, cheaper to maintain, quiet on the highway, more fun to drive, fuel economy etc. u are asking in a Perdana thread, so i will choose Perdana. hehe... Really like the Perdana but my mechanic who has a sei told me all kinds of things will spoil like the lower arms and all. Any advice?  |

QUOTE(genericsoul @ Apr 1 2013, 03:04 PM) Hi All, 1. u need ATF with SPIII (SP3). can use Proton SP3, Mitsubishi Diaqueen SP3, Kia/Hyundai SP3, or any Multi Vehicle ATF with SP3 spec. i use Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle ATF and recommends it. i also do gbox service (change ATF and ATF filter) every 20K km, the most is 25K km if the ATF is still maroon color. Pennzoil MultiVehicle ATF is around RM80-90 for 4L bottle. u need about 3.5-4L..I am a new PV6 owner. Just got my car a couple of days back and I believe it was an awesome deal. 2008 model priced at slightly above RM30k..what more could I ask for? Btw, since I have upgraded from a normal 1.6 Manual, I have to say that the PV6 FC is significantly higher (duh!!)..will just have to get used to it. By and large, the driving experience of this car is awesome..it's just sweet and I am completely happy with it. What I'd like to know is: 1. What kind of ATF is recommended for this car and is a 20k interval acceptable? I keep seeing differing views on ATFs. Some say Mitsubishi Diaquen is good..while others say just stick to proton's. Als0, how many litres is required? I asked a mechanic about PV6 ATF oil, he told me it's nearly 200 with no mention about how many litres is required..just wondering if it's the truth. 2. What is the recommended engine oil for this car? 3. Do I need to change my brake/pwr steering oil as well since I've just gotten the car from the 2nd hand car dealer? 4. What spark plugs are recommended? Hope some of you can guide me through this and all feedback is much appreciated guys. Cheers. 2. for V6, i previously use Pennzoil 10w-40 semi-syn. now not V6 i use different EO. 3. just check it first, if both look ok, then dont need. but if u are a paranoid  , then flush and change them..4. for V6, better get Iridium sparkplugs, as it lasts longer. bcoz changing sparkplug on perdana v6 is very troublesome.  |

I got myself a F5M312, costed 3.9k with installation by a friend. It lasted only for three days before I could engage into all gears without clutch in. They replaced the tranny FOC under warranty but this time I see that it's a W5M312 and I'm suspecting this is a 4wd locked. I did not pay for this. I paid for a 2wd gearbox which is supposedly lighter. I have yet to see him on this matter. Btw, which of these has the longest ratio? |
