I think the ABS system not related with the piston break. The ABS light on will only DISABLE the ABS system, but u still can do the normal braking system means without ABS. Coz the ABS light on could mean the sensor dirty, sensor cannot align with any another 3 sensor, sensor faulty & etc.

If ur workshop got computer then u ask him to plug in the computer for u then u will know which 1 sensor give u problem. But the computer checking will cost bout RM80.

What you mean shop with computer ? Like how ?

plug in the computer for diagnose the system of ur car. like those BMW & Merz did.

A is for headlamp, B or C is for foglamp, i think.
later back home i try.
or u can try it urself.
park ur car front facing a wall then try adjusting the screws..

ur engine v6? only 6a12 or 6a11 gb can masuk. either auto or manual.
during the lifetime of 6a12 engines, no tiptronic gb was developed..
6a13 got tiptronic, but cannot pasang ler..

depends, i heard that 1 sensor cost alt least rm250 and to repair ABS pump cost rm400.
my ABS light used to light before change my engine, but now no lights but no ABS lor..
tried emergency brake last time, skidding lor..

ABS sensor reads the rotation of the driveshaft.
if piston got problem, ur brake either dont function or the piston jam making the caliper keep on pressing the disc.

bro, A is headlamp LEFT & RIGHT. B is headlamp HIGH & LOW. C is foglamp.

hope i never remember wrong

hi all,
very gud discussion bout perdana v6 here..
at least i can learn more bout it..thank you to all...
im now having prblm wit AT gearbox..it suddenly free gear when dropping from 2nd to 1st gear..
sumtime really scared at traffic jam..make me headache now...
need to change to manual but very expensive..anyway have to change it..

Thx for sharing also bro.

Bout ur GB. Either u overhaul it or change to MANUAL. But if u dun1 any problem come again better change to MANUAL . More fun with MANUAL

i have decided to change to manual GB... less headache..
but my pocket oso koyak lor..

well, now u feel koyak. but later u will know tat is worth to do tat

yeah bro..anyhow, the GB need to change oso...
previous owner told me that the current GB is the 3rd GB...lol..
i have put the atf cooler earlier but oso not helping much..only can running for 1 year..
after dis i no need to worried bout the GB again...
perhaps in future can save money for the engine...

so where can do the transplant plus good price for the manual gb. i also wanna change to manual lor..

just changed all my absorbers to KYB. Helluva bumpy now. I think it's because it gas powered and still new. bones all aching. regretting now

good choice going for manual

got a fren's workshop in taman medan if u are interested.
very reliable and quite cheap labor too.

bumpy? is it becoz the new abs?

yeah the abs damn stiff

hello...
perdana fren...
new user here..^^
my bro drive perdana...
2002
auto..

the car looks like many problem..==
engine mounting expensive..@@
plug expensive..@@
fuel consumption high..
and...my brother car was very heavy..><

engine mounting not expensive = rm50-rm100 per pc depends on which mounting

plugs = rm35-50 per pc for denso iridium or ngk iridium

fuel consumption about the same for any other 2.0 car, with the same manufacturing period.
cannot compare with newer cars la, every older cars also kalah FC like that..

mesti la heavy, full size saloon car.. kerb weigh about 1300kg

u want better FC or lighter car, u only get compact or city car or smaller sedan car..

ps: please compare the performance, FC, etc with similar segment car. cannot compare to satria, myvi, waja, sure very big difference la..

I would say the FC is damn bloody good for a 2.0 V6. Try comparing it with a Cefiro 2.0 V6 and then you'll know what is the meaning of FC. Parts ain't expensive, you have to know the PV6 was selling at above RM 100k when it was new so the parts is gonna be a little bit higher than your everyday Wira or Iswara. Try looking up to buy spares for an E36. Sorry bro register999, i think you have to understand what your brother is driving and also look into what cars you're comparing it with.

P/S Do you guys know that my PV6 FC is the same as my other Wira 1.6 Auto. Go figure lolx !!!

must compare with 2.0cc oso..dun compare with low capacity car..FC is gud for perdana V6. i drove from KL back to my hometown Ipoh and the FC is oni around 30 bucks..almost same like wira oso i think..the spare parts oso not too expensive..the plug can last long up to 100km..last time i had fren drive Merc C200 and the price for original front brake pads for his Merc is around RM500++..

p/s: perdana V6 have a gud top speed on highway..do not play around with it's top speed..
