Hi to all,

I've been a PV6 owner for the past 1.6 years and loving it. It had some auto GB problems at first - won't change to 4th gear! But managed to resolve that.

But I have over heating problems now. The temperature gauge will rise slightly when the car climb hills (let say like in Karak-Genting) at speeds of 90kmh ++ but if maintain light right foot (drive around 60, than no problem). Can somebody share with me as to what is wrong? please...

Secondly, my car starts to semput at about 170kmh, is that normal?

AND

my car shakes and rattles a lot at legal highway speeds but not so bad at about 140kmh. What is wrong? Or is this an indication that I should drive fast at all times... hehehe...

Please share your thoughts dear Gurus/Sifus.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks bro neuro1 on your advice. I will have those things checked out. My mechanic advice me to try and flush the radiator first. That should be ok, right?

Bro, how do I know whether the timing is ok? What is the normal rpm at idle? Hmmm... plugs. Never had changed them before since I got it - secondhand, enhanced II.

Thanks again. Appreciate it.

BTW, I live nearby you - kajang.

And my PV6 is strictly a weekend drive... I put a sanction on myself from driving it on weekdays but everyday feel gatal want to drive one

This weekend driving to Kuantan...

Thanks for the top tips bro! rpm wise (as per your quoted rpm above), my pv6 should be just fine.

But my plugs, are just about due. Intending to go for Bosch but don't know which model yet

I've been goin through the thread and noticed that you guys have TTs on wednesday at NZ - If I can find the time, sure I'll join one.

No drag racing for me bro... Also no top speed. But I enjoy taking corners on my pv6, it feels planted and maintains its lines very well. I had a drive to Frasers recently... really enjoyed the drive (though I can't say the same for my passengers). handling feels sharp and crisp... Engine response, superb Full of character!

Love the car at purchase and still loving the car now.

This is like sun light at the end of a tunnel

Please share some maintenance tips if you don't mind...

ur car has been lowered or standard height?
i also like cornering eventho not as good/fast as compact cars la kan..

wanna join TT? tomorrow we go la..


Unfortunately my ride is still standard gaban. Only modifications (improvements?) are 17inch wheels and Sony Xplod HU.

Once contemplated on lowering, but family man car lor. So need consider comfort of wife and kids

Anyway, the cornering capability is ok enough for me (at the moment)... I'm after all no Lewis Hamilton myself I would say even in standard form, its better than the civic. Lotus maa...

White smoke in the morning its quite common actually... so my guess is that its ok.

Personally I wouldn't recommend using semi synthetic. My PV6 eats up semi synthetic and I end up having to top up half way through the service interval.

Bro Neuro,

Sorry, I meant vapor. Morning usually. Other time just fine.

Waahh... 1.30 ah? Aiyoo if I do that, pagi confirm tak bangun.

Last time I had this problem after filling up the petrol... they were rattling sounds coming from the dashboard and I searched high and low for the source...

It turned out that the rattling came from coins squeezed in between the front speaker and its casing (right hand side underneath the steering) by my beloved daughter

It's been a while since I dropped in into this page... Hi all!
