i bought a NEW local door lockset, it cost me RM150.
then i done my own DIY for the door lockset & realise ori lockset are still working well,
the problem are the plastic (WHITE) that hold the spring broken had make it slip away,
then i tie it with cable tight & wire, so it still working well.
for those who had this problem may try to fix it,

not easy, but after my 1st try then i know how to fix it alrdy.
BTW i want to sell that NEW lockset parts for RM120 only,
just incase your lockset are really mal-funtion.

Hi All sifus and bro. Need some advise here.

Plan to buy 2nd hand perdana year 02/01(budget small) coz need to travel far from my house every week roughly 1500km for 2 flow. How long can this perdana tahan.

I survey 1 car (2owner) year 01/02 with milage 90k with Perak plate number all parts are original but the shop informed me the timing belt just changed. When they say the timing belt just changed do they changed all other part around the timing bell also. Is this consider major serviced/overhaul. Is this a good buy considering all stocks accessories and the final price quoted 30k.

My other question is what do I need to do to decide on the purchased and what else need to checked. And is it logical the milage is still that low.

One more question do perdana have airbag. And can we fixed the airbag to perdana.

Thank you in advanced to all commenter and sifus

My Father's Perdana v6 has just clocked 100 000km in 11 years today. The car is still in great condition.Many ppl complain about Perdana's gearbox, in my experience, for all the 11 years my family have been driving the car, there's not even a single gearbox problem.

Overall, this car rocks to the max
I've also attached a picture so that you guys can see the condition of my perdana

cheers.

so gearbox fluid dirty is the culprit the gearbox go kong?
Did service centre also change gear box atf fluid early at 20k?

wow 200k mileage with jerk or without jerk? 200k means maintained gila gila properly.

After thinking for a while i follow your opinion and cancelled the booking of the car and now thinking how to choose car.

should i bought modified car with evo3/tt engine or just buy 2004 or 2005 car.

the purpose is to travel far without any problem since need to travel in the dark road at night.

Helo Sifus and the rest of the forumers.. It has been awhile since i last posted in this thread..

I actually sat down and read all the posts by our forumers here since the last time i posted (about 6-8 months back). Very interesting and knowledgeable read indeed. Thanks again to all PV6 owners for sharing your problems and solutions.. (special credits to NeuroOne, Omnipotent, koh_424, & lewatmalam)!

Just wanted to share my one(1) year and six(6) months experience of using my Perdana V6 (standard model, year 2005 - odometer 89,000km when bought), comes with factory fitted ATF cooler).

Now my Odometer reads 118,000km. I use my car for night city driving & as a weekend car. No much driving i guess - only clocked 29,000km since i bought it - 1 year and 6 months ago.

An awesome car indeed. Long distance driving is fun and comfortable. The best speed that I enjoy driving is 100-110km/h, RPM:2.8k. My car's fuel economy: Full tank=RM100 : 450km city driving, and 550 highway driving. Reasonable ratio for a 2.0 liter car i guess.

Below are the list of experiences that I went through so far with my PV6:

1) Changed all 4 brake pads upon buying the car (using stock Mintye brand) - still good till now.

2) Changed both front(oil) and back(gas) absorbers to KYB. Still good till now but the gas absorbers are a bit stiff and I'm planning to change it to oil absorbers the next time around.

3) Did major service at 100,000km (changed GMB water pump, timing belt kit, other belts, NGK Platinum spark plugs, 2 engine mountings, etc etc) : spent about RM1,200.00. Changed my light bulbs as well upon them dying - normal OEM ones (for brake, indicators, and headlights).

4) Normal GB service - ATF and filter change. (Maintaining change every 15,000km for ATF and 30,000km for filter). My ATF is Proton SP3.

5) My car couldn't start at times. Serviced my throttle body, changed my fuel filter still to no avail.  Even after servicing the throttle body and changing the fuel filter, still may car minyak tak naik and had to change the fuel pump. Replaced my fuel pump to chop shop Eterna fuel pump. Need to figure out whats the real problem here.. still facing the same prob once in awhile.. sigh.. Probably electronics kot.

6) Two months after buying the car, I changed from dry cell to wet cell(N70) - the wrong wiring at my radio was draining my battery (leaking current) until my dry cell went kaput. Stupid 2ndhand car dealer worker who wrongly fitted the wires before me buying the car.

7) I maintain 5,000km service interval with Pennzoil Semi-Synthetic 10W-40. Good oil indeed.

8) Car so far runs well with no problem except the engine starting problem - once in awhile. Smoke sometimes can be seen after rain or early morning.. I think this is normal. Nothing major.

9) My GB runs smoothly except for the "thud" sound/feel during gear changes - not often though. I jaga my GB and very rare thrash it (only when ppl cucukx2 behind me unnecessarily, hehe).

10) My fastest speed recorded was 190km/h at Seremban Highway on d way to Melaka (had 3 passengers in the car).  I think my car can reach 200km/h at the most if tekan sumore.. Haven't try it yet though. Car was also cruising fine at 160km/h. Cabin sound intrusion is noticeable after 110km/h (probably I need to change my door rubbers as my car 6 years plus d.. hehe). 

I guess, these are the things that I've done and experienced so far with my beloved PV6. Love the car so much! One of the best decisions I've taken in my 25 years of living - i.e.: getting a Perdana V6.

Last but not least.. thanks again to all the Sifus in this forum! hope to see this thread alive and kicking like always!

p/s: Thanks Wan for all the help. Dah lama aku tak turun TT.. one of these days will definitely join u guys!

Hi team,

Just want to clarify about the gear box price.

1) How much does the cost of auto/manual gear box original/recon price if we replace?
2) How much if we ONLY repair the faulty gear box?

I have read many articles/forum and some of them stated rm3000 and some says rm12000. Which one is true cause i am planning to own one 2nd v6 soon, so i am doing a big survey.

Hello to all PV6 owners,

Would like to seek help and advise from all sifus and PV6 owners regarding to my PV6 that bought in year 2002. The car has been serving me and my family well in all these years until recently the engine temperature became problematic eversince it overheated for the 1st time when i travelled to genting with my family at 2 years ago.

Within this 2 years, the car has been done major service i.e. new spark plug, water pump, timing belt, plug cable, and etc + top overhual due to oil leakage and service car radiator, which the latest was done on 2 weeks ago by replacing a new top layer of the radiator due to crack and water leakage.

Until now the car still facing overheat problem whenever i try to push it on 110km/h - 140km/h with and without using overdrive. The meter temp will show that it will raise from 40% until 75% to 80% before reaching total overheat. but strangely the temp will back to normal condition again if i slow down the speed till 40kmh or stop and let the engine cool down for 10 minutes. I had went back to my mech to chech the radiator but my mech claimed radiator didn't crack and coolant still remaining the same level.

To all sifus or owners who maybe had faced the same issue like mine, pls enlighten me that which parts of the car may probably caused the temp problematic? many many thanks if anyone could help 

Sifus,
Can you please advise
with 50k budget, what kind of conditions for perdana I can have
year:
mileage:
transission:
model
etc...

Thanks in ahead

hi, am newbie enough for dont know what is NA?
I just need a 'decent' car with approximately 50k budget.
I prefer manual car but the trafic condition(traffic jam) is bad so it would be better to have an auto car?
The different is about 3-4k right?

I probably will go for perdana with NA, manual.
rm50k is a rough budget,preferable to get a car which is well-maintained, I dont mind getting older model 2005-2007.It would be nice if the 50k included in the full service but again how much roughly the "full service" cost? I dont need the car with excellent sound system/sportrims.... just need to improve the perfomance and less hassle

I browsed some website for used car but hardly seen 2008 year car for sell.. normally 2004-2007, asking price range 40k to 50k

Do you know anyone selling 2008 car ?

my auto gearbox kaput already ..
any suggestion bro for workshop around shah alam,subang or PJ ?

May be still need your help in the future, currently im still out-station

My perdana V6 '05 alfa version recently experiencing slow pick-up i.e. feels heavy especially during stop and go traffic jam and at traffic lights. This is more of an on and off situation but has become more often lately.

Wondering if it is because of dirty air filter? or spark plug problem? still a long way from next scheduled servicing so wana do some DIY troubleshooting first. Anyone can explain this situation?

i notice my headlight is brighter and my pickup is smoother after this change. however my radio and amp wiring need to be check cause if i connect the wire  to battery, immediate battery drain can be felt, especially when starting the engine.

any good wiring workshop in pj ss7/6/24 area?
