New ones might not have the quality of an oem used one from japan

what do u mean?

btw anyone have use this tail lamp? how is the durability and brightness?

I'm using the red one. Quite bright as i can see my red light while driving. I also add on the brake reflector on my bumper to add extra safety.

hi guys i just got a year 2008 perdana v6 few months back and when i was i going uphill with the car and i floor the pedal the gearbox seems to jerk to lower the gear then its smooth back it only happens during going uphill can i know what is the problem is?thanks

OEM oil coolers are made for that purpose and meets the required size, cooling and pressure for it to function flawlessly. My OEM oil cooler is salvaged from Pajero and it's not very big in size, but works great and doesn't block my radiators from getting sufficient cooling. I'm still using my OEM gearbox from the day it left the showroom, still shifts smoothly and gears engage without hesitation everytime. Mine is a pre-facelift 2002 V6 model.

Same problem with my friend's perdana last time..he changed the gearbox which cost him RM2k plus

Not to scare you or anything. My gearbox issue started with that symptom. Some say it is due to the sensor. I am not really sure.

Same model but mine is 2000. Anyway, first time using atf cooler despite before this had change gearbox 2 time.

Also what cause the cracking/poping sound everytime i turn left and only happen during left turn. CV joint perhaps?

I dont know where to ask, so i just ask here. sorry.

my perdana abs light is constantly on and my brakes is totally out(feels like brake pump is leaking). i had to use handbrake, drive really slow or rapidly pump brake. my front brake disc is shiny while my rear brake is rusty(seems to me rear brake doesnt work). i sent to 2 workshop to fix the brake. none of them has. they only make it worse.

so, where do you guys repair your brakes? any recommendation, experience? while googling i found these 2 links. seems like they are the same.

thanks.

Hi all. Perdana v6 2004 owner here.
Been using this for 9 years with gb change on last year.
Now engine seem like going with problem and need to do major overhaul.
Want to keep this as family car so trying to avoid engine transplant.
Any workshop recommendations around cyberjaya, nilai or klang?

Hi @NeuroOne, can share the contact no pls?
Wanna fix up my car also.

check ur lower arm a.s.a.p.

lower arm changed already

Driveshaft?

Changed early this year..anyway..looks like due to my steering fluid running low. Very low.. after fill it up slowly the "tak tak tak" during left turn reduce.

W5M312 will work fine except for the extra kilos la. but i dont think it will make much difference. as long as the foreman knows how to throw away all the 4wd items and weld the differential, then no problem..
i think the longest/tallest ratio should be 222. 312 is a short ratio gbox.

PMed

last batch is 2008.
if u buy new now, its manufactured in 2008.

great for you.
previously for me it due to worn out driveshaft.

thats normal.
the hydaulic tappet in 6A engines are like that.
when u start, the oil needs some time to warm up and get back up to the tappets if u parked overnight.
use mineral engine oil and the noise will be slower..

price depends on the job.
what do u mean after i invest?
