Hi guys,

Just want to ask. My Perdana suspension (Standard) feels a bit hard when cruising at normal roads. Need opinion whether if I use spring damper will improve on the suspension. And I had experience riding an executive taxi (Blue ones) around KL and i felt that the suspension is better in term of comfort. I did ask the taxi driver what kind of suspension system that he is using and he said that he changed to honda accord's spring and he use the standard absorbers like KYB. Is this possible guys?

Thanks in Advance

Sarled, just bought 2008 Perdana from spanco (Used) for rm28k, all ori parts. absorbers age unknown. normal road if got lobang still ok. But while using DUKE highway somewhere near jalan ipoh there the suspension is somehow felt hard. But I can't forget the experience riding the blue perdana taxi, very smooth. And the driver said he changed to honda coil springs... can fit ar?

Perdana standard springs are soft and absorbers are also soft and long stroke..
i just driven my fren's 2008 Perdana, and i was very soft and sampan-like. hehe..
very different than my car. haha..
but the cornering was top notch as long as the corners are not wavy and dont have bumps.

maybe its just ur feeling or if its not, then u need to check the absorbers, maybe..

anyway, how'd u get a Spanco Perdana? u a Gov staff?

 

[sarled]

Good price for that car. Congrats.
Sorry, not very sure about the Honda springs. I guess if the diameters of the coils match then it can surely fit. One main thing is there will be a mismatch between the spring rate and the absorption so I won't recommend it because we dont have enough engineering info.

NeuroOne,Not Gov staff though, Bought from car dealer in Kajang, they got more than 20 units Spanco's Perdana 2006-2008.Overall car condition is quite good.
Cornering is nice like you said. Maybe I need to refer to Mechanic for testing. thanks.

Hello Again guys, busy shopping for my v6 cosmetics. hehehhe

Found this v6's floor mat ads in Mudah:
Carpet perdana v6 black - Car Accessories & Parts for sale Selangor - Mudah.my

You guys got any place sell it at a cheaper price? try to find at brothers but no size suits Perdana..Brother's sell something like this cheaper by rm100 but for other car ..

 

[NeuroOne]

nice and clean looking car.
i'm sure the engine also running quiet and smooth.

as for the the absorbers and spring, if u can, u try different stock standard Perdana for comparison first..
or maybe look for signs of leak on the absorbers..
the spring i dont think there would be a problem for a 4 year old springs..

what happen to your floor mat?

Ill try to change the plug cable after this. anyone can loan theirs to me? any advice?

Didn't see this post earlier. May be your air flow sensor problem. Detecting the wrong amount of air going into the engine (because more air goes in during cold day compared to hot day). Try to open it and clean it with electronics contact cleaner. The AF sensor is located right after your air intake filters. It's a box.

Forget the ignition system, as it shouldnt be affected by air temperature.

no, its banzai auto.
the workshop itself dont have signboard, but u may see few Perdanas outside the workshop..

 

[civic1533]

my af sensor code is 609. is it correct for rvr auto? can i use wd40 to clean it? just spray at the honey comb mesh?

No, dont use WD40. It must be a clean solution like cleaning alcohol or contact cleaner. You need to remove the sensor to clean the sensing wire inside (I haven't opened the Perdana's one before so am not 100% sure how it looks like inside).
