got any recommendation workshop at JB.. my perdana v6 got problem with throttle body.. already send to tuning at proton service centre but the problem still occur.. rpm meter sudden drop when pressing pedal..

There's a few good one along Johor Jaya Rosmerah industrial area.
Or you prefer at Jln.Tampoi, there's a very good one opposite Tee Yi Jia factory(that glassy factory building beside Esso)

got specific name of the workshop?

Wow..really suprised to know that this thread is still alive, evenmore to see sifu neuro still here sharing knowledge..
and good to hear that there are others that still passionate about this dinasour.

i'm facing the same prob..after repaired my front rim, the vibration became lesser but still there.. now i suspect that the problem might be from my front absorber since there are "krekk kreek" sound like old car when braking..but that sound didnt appear when driving on zebra line.. any idea? anyone..

I had similar problem too, cruising more than 140km/j, the vibration kinda feel like mad, even after changing new tyre, aligment, n balancing.

My rpm still up n down even after service throttle body..

Hi again bro Neuro, how r u today?

Mind to share the exact name & location of ur fren's workshop in PJ & Shah Alam bro?. End of this month, I'm considering to change new ATF + filter before going back hometown and one more thing,do they have tools for discbrake skimming? Thanks in advance

hello bro..
i'll pm u the addresses.
they dont have disc brake skimming tool but they usually call the uncle who comes to the workshop and do it there.

Hi everyone, my cousin gave me his V6 but I didn't use the car more than a year already and thinking to start using it.
Whats the insurance cost for V6?
road tax izzit RM390++?

Roadtax RM380.

Insurance u have to refer to insurance company how much value they insured & ur NCD.

yup. insurance cost depends on the car value and ur NCD. roadtax is rm380 but if u do it at post office, they may charge rm2 fee.

another thing, based on jpj rules, vehicle that has been left idle without insurance or roadtax for some time, may need to go for inspection. but only one year without roadtax/insurance is ok i think..

ok, noted
thanks

Yup, I search web and they say need go puspakom to do inspection cost about RM100++


Actually this car didn't even start engine for more than 1 year already and wanna take the car to workshop to check but I dunno which car parts I need to be more concern

Just got my Perdana Exec 2009 model. Fuel consumption looks frightening with RM0.30 to RM0.32 sen per kilometre (Ron 95) city driving. Is this normal?

my car gets about 8km/L city, 11km/L hiway, with either ron95 or ron97.
so, ur Perdana Exec with heavier body gets that kind of FC, sounds about right.
in fact, any 2.0cc auto transmission car in that generation gets about the same FC..

Hello guys,

Need some advise on one of the Thing i am confuse for the V6 executive mfg2008

i am going to buy this model of V6 executive under spanco cilvil servant car before this, but when i test drive the ABS light stays on, the salesman told me they will reset it may i know is that ok? what am i suppose to check after i take the car?

Pls kindly advise as i am an automotive noob >.<


Attached image(s)

that's the ABS light.
it should light up when the ABS is working, meaning when u apply emergency braking, the ABS kick-in and the symbol light up to tell u that the ABS is working. u can feel the brake pedal vibrate. the symbol lights up for a while only.

if the symbol stays on, then there's a problem on the ABS system. if u reset it, it stays off for a while, then it will light up again, becoz the problem is not rectified.
sometimes, its just a minor problem such as - dirty sensor. clean the sensors.
or maybe bigger problem like the sensor wire cracked/cut or ABS module rosak.
the ABS module in the engine bay should be protected from water, usually ppl like to wash the engine bay and water sips into the wire connector and causing it to rosak..

u can ask them to plug in diagnostic module/computer and check whats wrong with the ABS system, dont just reset/erase the code..

Thanks NeoroOne for your feedback, will look into it after getting car next week, i bought manufacture 2009 model silver executive, hopefully the performance will satisfy me with the low price i bought

By the way, besides the ABS system, what else should i look for when i get the second hand car? I only test drive twice and happy with the gearbox, didnt find any vibration when speed more than 100km/h. so fluid leakage found externally.

Please advise, thanks and appreciate alot

i think ur question hv been answered few times in here, u can scroll back for more answers.

anyway, do checks basically like any other used car.
ask for test drive. then drive it kaw kaw.
v6 engine is sturdy but the auto gb is kinda weak.
when driving, do hard accelerating and feel if there's any jerking or late gear change.
focus on gear changes between 2nd-3rd (jerking) and 3rd-4th (delay).
then, do hard braking and feel if there's any jerking (when the gbox downshifting).

check under the engine for any leaking. check the mountings, bushings and other 'getah' part.
listen for any weird engine noise, weird noise during cornering, braking, etc.
check power window and other electronics etc.

Thanks for all the advise previously, i finally bought the silver executive 2009 model. But need little more advise from any sifu here.

Any idea which workshop in selangor or negeri sembilan area are pro in the ABS system? Because i afraid they just simply reset the abs system and doesn't really fix it for real like previously discussed. Since its still under warranty i plan to do thorough check to look for any findings on the car.

Thanks alot

I need expert advice. I want to change PV6 shock absorber.
Currently on IMP. Any recommendations? Thank you

i can recommend 2 workshops that are expert in repairing perdana, in PJ and Shah Alam. but for ABS system, i think they can only check the visible parts such as sensors (kotor), cable (crack/cut).
for a thorough systems check, i think its better to go to Proton/Eon service centre. they should hv a diagnostic equipment to check any faults.
