Hi all, just out of curiosity..any other Perdana V6 owners here feel that their ride is too stiff?

as for my '04 alfa model, i especially feel that it is very stiff even going on slightly uneven road, yellow strips can feel every single bump and even dashboard starts rattling...quite irritating sometimes..

understand that change suspension can be very expensive, but any other owners here can advise how to soften our ride?

your suspension (spring and absorber) are still standard?

try going for higher profile tires...60 series maybe

yes they are, didn't change a thing. The ride has been stiff all along, just that recently things have been rattling around, guess things are getting loose in my car

Hello dear forumers.. I want to ask a question on behalf of a friend..

Does anyone have experience on overhauling the V6 engine.. A simple question, the pistons are marked R & L.. Is it Are near the radiator, L near the firewall, or vice versa?

Thanks in advance for your help..

Guys.

I am new here. i just check on my car, FC fulltank can go upto 400KM city ride or 7.8KM/Liter.

What do you think about this? If compare to my other car, this is quite inefficient.

I felt that the gear abit lag and jerky, is that any problem that you suspect?

with regards to fc, check my fuelly siggy to see the fc for a 2001 v6 with 380k mileage.

for gearbox, make sure u service it regularly and if it still jerky u cant check on the engine mounting also.

your car 8.6l/100KM = 11.6KM/L is very good.

What petrol that you use? (Shell, ESSO?)

The symptom is that when i start to press on the oil, the car don't go really fast. just constant speed.
When brake and accelerate again, also feel like no energy.

yea man, my 1.8MT takes in 13l/100km & drinks more than my pv6 also

perdana headlamp cost how much normally??

i asked a seller and he said around rm1xxx something,, isit really tat expensive?

yep. brand new ori Koito cost rm1200 for both side.
2nd hand may cost half that.

for the bumpy ride, very weird

mine was changed to hi-lo soft hard adjustable, and the yellow strip pass tru is ok for me. installed that suspension ever since the TT is on my engine bay for about 2 years. with no rattling sound from dashboard.

Yah, the ride is very stiff for a comfort saloon.

Means your absorber is not stock? How much did you change it for?

but the one i saw at mudah.my around rm3xx is what type? isit ori or 2nd hand?
in there they said ori one...

wanna put led strip on my perdana,,, any comment?

i'm also puzzled as to why ur car is stiff, the older the spring gets, the softer it will be.
maybe ur absorbers are out?

previously (in 2006), when my car was bog standard, it was soft and smooth as silk but cornering was a bit so-so.
so i changed to sport springs which was better handling but harsher ride.
but not satisfied, i change to adjustable suspension which is still working nicely..
