is ur perdana still using the standard suspension?
if it is, i guess better use Kayaba or Monroe.
if its already using sport springs or adjustable suspension, then its a different story la (different recommendation). hehe..

Sifus, one question;

If the wiper interval setting dont work (runs continously instead of wipe-stop-wipe-stop), what seems to be the problem? Is it the motor or the wiper stick at the steering? different workshops have different advice so i dunno what to check and replace.

sorry bro. haven't encountered the problem before.
have u found the problem and settled it?

should i go for perdana exec or normal sedan? not much difference on price

exec - pro
- more interior space (feels more luxurious)

exec - cons
- longer (more parking space, harder maneuverability)
- heavier (slower acceleration, more stress to brakes and tyres - although very minimal)
- parts harder to find (rear doors, windows, door panels)

but now, i'd take exec over normal sedan. hehe..
put in turbo engine and change to bigger/better brake set..

later model or earlier ?

i like 2002 coz its full leather.newer ones half
gbox is an issue with earlier model right?

hey, greetings to all perdana v6 users!!! I just want to share some some tips / info based on real life experience. I believe most of us also gone thru a hard moment about the gearbox jerking before right? I personally went to get myself a recond gearbox done at a so called gearbox specialist workshop amounting to rm1800 including workmanship, basically all in. Guess what? it still jerks although a major improvement can be felt. eventually, I went to my trusted workshop sifu to ask for help cause really clueless d, almost lost hope. He took out his MUT tuning machine and performed tuning on my TPS sensor. After finished tuning, while driving back feel even more improvement but still some slight jerk. Eventually, that night I thought what the heck I thought just take a cheap shot and unplugged the battery and leave overnight, tomorrow morning start the engine can say almost no jerk felt anymore...amazing!!! this has led me into both happy and sad state cause I managed to cured the jerk feeling but at the same time I might've unnecessary spent the money changing the gearbox also. Anyway, that's what happened to me. So the next time your car shifting gear jerk feeling acts up again, before driving straight into the gearbox workshop and change the gearbox, do your self a favour and go perform TPS tuning first. Might save you a big sum in the end...cheers

any models for me are ok.
but yes, the 1999-2003 models have better leather seats.

but newer exec have 'younger' body and parts.
another thing is that the exec's suspension arms bushings and balljoints will be more likely to wear out quickly.

and dont forget, put turbo engine la. wohooo..

yes, good info.
i read that the TPS sensor signal needs to be at the exact range of volts for the gbox to work smoothly.
different car/gbox need different range of signal voltage.

other than that, a rule of thumb for me, at 150K kms, the auto clutches will wear out.

Hello NeuroOne,

Could you also share with me the address for the workshop in PJ or Shah Alam?

thanks a lot

Hi NeuroOne,

I hope you kindly help me and give me a car workshop contact & address in USJ or Shah Alam?

I've a year 2000 Perdana V6. Well kept, mileage at 192,000. Looking for a trustworthy and experienced workshop near my area. I've had very bad experience with a car worship in Sri Petaling.

Thank you!

Hi NeuroOne, do send me tooo....I also looking for a few more reliable workshops that can handle V6..

you can try this foreman at Desa Tun Razak. His name is Ah Yoong, H/P No:019-322 9960. His whole team are all seasonal guys from tuning to modify and transplant engines. He himself is exceptionally good at fine tuning engine ecu. I did my v6 engine at his shop. before I sent for him to do tuning, my car was less powerful and always jerk during gear shift. now smooth d the gear change.

Not yet apparently. I went to check for the wiper parts, and they are kinda pricey. The control stick costs RM400 and wiper motor is 270.

For now I'm focused on other maintenance 1st. Now it seems like the wheel bearing is making some noise already. Checked with the mechanic but he is unsure. He wanted me not to change yet.

I had some oil and water leaks coming from the timing belt area, and just had the timing belt set and water pump replaced again. The last set was just clocking around 22k km *sigh* . Might be bad workmanship. MEchanic said valve cover also leaking some oil, but not too serious to cause trouble. So I just have the engine bay washed and started inspecting leaks now.

Hey guys and proud v6 owners,

Just want to share some useful info I found on the internet to take good care of our beloved baby.


Apparently even experts promote the usage of Lubegard products.

Also another link which I think can be useful info for us all :

Hi guys, one full tank around RM120 how many km you guys can travel ? City driving.

For me, mixed city+ hiway driving will get me 500-600km from full tank to empty. Very seldom to go below 500km even on city drive alone. This engine dont have VVT so dont drive too slow in expectation for lower consumption. 90-130km/h is fine (for me at least).

Thanks for the Lubegard recommendation. Just poured in Lubegard Red on my last GB oil change last week. Still yet to see the GB doctor though, as I am pretty busy with work. So far so good

I took the car last wednesday, previously owned by spanco. Manufactured 2009 and register in 2010. I pump RON97 from almost empty to full RM120, only managed to reach almost 400km. Yesterday travel from Temerloh shell to Terengganu used up half tank.
