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

Did you mean the thermostat valve jam or not fully open during when I push the engine? hmmm...but then how come it will went back normal if i slow down the speed to below 50km/h? if the thermostat was jam the engine temp will still maintain overheat even if I slow down the speed? please enlighten coz i'm also not fully know how thermostat actually works just know it's valve will close if the engine is cool and open when its hot.

ok sifus thanks for highlighting the possibilities that may causes the engine temp rise. i'll try check them with my mech and hope the issue could be solved. please do share if hav further infomation. many many thanks

Really confuse now... i duwan to spend thousands just to buta buta fix my temp issue... during the conversation with my mech he quoted alot of "maybe" so it makes me even the mech also not too sure whether will fix my problem even i spent such amount...

or mayb my mech is not good enough to determine the problem...? please if any V6 owner had the same issue like mine pls share your solution.
