Added on June 25, 2008, 9:38 ammy calculations.
i usually fill-up full-tank and do calculations based on full-tank of petrol.
standard auto 2002 v6 with little mod on the exhaust.
and this is based on light footedness, no hard revving, no pecut2 or racing..

old petrol price RM1.92 per litre (usually i do fill-ups RM 110 - RM 115)
RM 0.22 per km (town)
RM 0.16 per km (hiway)

new petrol price RM2.70 per litre (three full-tanks already RM 155 - RM 166 - RM 159 giler.. hahaha..)
RM 0.31 per km (town)
RM 0.22 per km (hiway)

Added on June 25, 2008, 9:45 amit might be the alternator.
it happened to me before, not to my v6 but to my previous car.
the car won't start with new battery and every light goes dim.

went to workshop, checked, and found out the alternator rosak, it reversed the current..
meaning, the alternator pull all the current from battery, not recharging it..

---

Added on June 25, 2008, 9:48 amit is not mivec as standard v6 is not a mivec.
it just the max torque is around that rpm.
so it feels a bit like more power.

but for mivec or mivec-md, a lot more pull can be felt.

what do u mean by hard to start?
have u checked the battery? or starter?
or ur car wants a new engine? a V6TT perhaps?

Added on June 27, 2008, 3:53 pmFor Q1,

alternator belt (bando) ~ Rm25
aircond belt (bando) ~ RM25
waterpump ~ RM 110
sparkplugs (denso iridium x6) ~ RM35 x 6 = RM210
fuel filter ~ RM25 (can't remember)
oil filter ~ RM10
air filter ~ RM15
gb filter kit ~ RM 25 (can't remember)
engine oil (depends) ~ Petronas Semi-Synth 4L RM85 + 1L bottle top up RM25
gb oil ~ Proton 1L x 4 bottles RM 20 x 4 = RM80
coolant (depends) ~ RM20
labour (depends on workshop) ~ RM250
the prices above are for reference only. some items i can't remember..

as for installing atf cooler, i can recommend a very reliable v-sixers member who has a workshop to do it.

sorry to hear about ur alternator..
and i've PMed u my frens info..

ok.
but can u describe "hard to start"?

driving @ 90kmh does give the best milage than driving 100kmh.
like the Proton Savvy record milage (RM0.08 per km) that was done by Proton, the driver does only 80-90 kmh around malaysia.

for overtaking, i think its ok la. quite a lot of pull.
but the gb does not drop the gear at the right time, so u have to accelerate early..
or u can press the overdrive button to "OD Off"..

This post has been edited by NeuroOne: Jun 28 2008, 05:37 PM

might be the injector.

if during driving also sometime the petrol seems 'sangkut-sangkut' then it might also be the fuel filter or worse, the fuel pump..

but if during start only, might be battery, the injector, fuel filter..

sorry bro.
i haven't encounter this prob before, so i don't know the cost.
anyway, hope ur car can be healthy again...

alamak.
dono what to answer la.

repair ECU?
i think u better go to Proton Service Centre for confirmation on the prob.

why?

Added on September 22, 2008, 5:35 pmyup.
alot of convoys coz we have central chapter, southern chapter, eastern chapter, northern chapter, even in sabah we hv members..
each chapter hv their own representative so they can organise their own convoys..

just use the OD off is enuff..

This post has been edited by NeuroOne: Sep 22 2008, 05:36 PM

got 2 frens fit 20" rims without modification.
but have to bend the fender a bit.

if i'm not mistaken, v6 after mid 2005 has installed atf cooler.
but that does not necessarily mean 100% trouble free..
my gb is 6 years old, still going strong eventhough my right foot is very heavy..
always change atf fluid @ 20K~25K km, and change the atf filter + atf fluid @ 40K~45K km..

try flushing ur gb and change the atf filter + atf fluid.
put no more than 3.75 litres in the gb.

manual box will last very very long, as long as u get a good manual gb with good internal parts + good mounting.
and don't forget to service it regularly..
estimated cost aroung RM2.5K~3K..

sorry can't recommend any mechanic in kl, i hv my favourite workshop near my place (putrajaya).
but my some of my fren might know. i'll ask around..

sure can..
but the wiring may need a little bit of mod la..
if the shop quoted ridiculous price, go survey other shops la..

yea bro..
please join our TT again..

all perdana owners are also invited..

rm30 fees per year. rm20 for registration.
v-sixers are registered with ROS and the only one registered with Proton.

your car is SEi rite?
list of engine types u can convert to:
4G63T Evo3
4G63T Evo2
4G63T Evo1
4G63T RVR
4G63T Eclipse
6A12T (twinturbo) Eterna
6A12 NA Eterna
6A12 Mivec or Mivec MD Eterna

the best conversion would be 4G63T...

Added on August 31, 2009, 8:14 pmmy car just remains dependable..
what's with yours? maintenance so high? and repairs?

i think the fella wrongly tick the column for airbags.
perdana got no airbag, new or old.

Added on November 14, 2009, 1:23 pmwith your RM25K budget, IMHO it's hard to get a perdana year 2000 and up (V6 model).
that budget will get you 95-97 model.
or if u are really lucky maybe get 98-99 model. (but i'd doubt the condition of the car)

a fren of mine managed to get a 95 perdana for RM16K.
with some repairs and new tyres amounting to RM3K.

i think it's better for u to get a 97 perdana sei converted v6.
Sei engine is ok but the transmisson, u better look for manual, autos are ok but if u are unlucky, u will end up with a problem.
the auto tranny is not proton's problem but it's inherited from mitsubishi. nothing we can do about it.
newer model of car auto tranny is ok like waja, neo, etc etc..
or you can get modified perdana either single turbo 4G63T (vr4, evo123, rvr, eclipse) or twinturbo 6A12T (eterna) or mivec 6A12 mivec/mivec-md (6A12).

perdana comes with a cd changer.
why do u wanna change to waja cps' radio cd set?

also, change to aftermarket ones la. better.
or better still, change to dvd+usb player la. lagi syok..

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:38 amgeneral advice from me:

1. use semi-synthetic engine oil, change every 5K km, change oil filter too.
2. change ATF every 10K km, and service it every 20K km.
3. at 100K km, do a major service, don't skimp on anything.

btw, i use Pennzoil Platinum 10w-40 Semi-Synthetic engine oil and Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle ATF

what kind of belting sound?
like screeching sound?
maybe the belting is a bit loose.
hv to ask mechanic to tighten the tensioner.

what's the mileage?
100,000km need to do major service.

horn got no sound?
check the horn's wiring.
sometimes, the wiring loosen and disconnect from the horn.
horn is located behind front bumper, under the headlights left and right.
left is for high pitch sound, right is for low pitch sound.
need both to work for the horn to sound good (big car-ish sound, example, if only left is connected, horn sound like kancil horn)

no problem nazril.
just 3K km more? hmm.. kopak la.. haha..
it is possible to buy ori part from EON or Proton and do it outside.

i did my major service with an outside workshop.
heck, after my 100K km service, i did all my services and repairs with outside workshop. haha..
i buy all items from various places/people.
then ask the workshop to do the servicing for me.

u can get good deal on parts from airline (a forumer here)
i hv bought many things from him before.

btw, i'm in putrajaya.
u wanna join Vsixers' TT?
we have 3 TT nites every week.
tuesday (rafi bistro, shah alam), wednesday (NZ, wangsa maju) and friday (Mosin, TTDI).
come join us...

our recent TT at NZ wangsa maju (09/12/2009).
after tehtarik and makan2, this is the 'unplanned-but-always-happen-every-week' session where we look at member's car to look for whats new and different.. heh..

This post has been edited by NeuroOne: Dec 11 2009, 07:44 AM

the tranny problem was inherited from mitsubishi.
and mitsubishi wont let proton touch it.
that's why, when gb kong, u either overhaul it or or buy halfcut gb or buy recond or buy new or change to manual tranny.
which in my opinion, manual tranny is the best option.
*best option but me myself love auto tranny.. hehe..

with manual tranny, the acceleration drag gone, power is instant.
