2) during driving, when gear on D at traffic jam, ada rasa mcm jerking tapi slow je. kenape ye? is it normal? because 1st time using auto gear.

**i think thats the engine tappet sound....more to tek tek tek tek rite?
2) during driving, when gear on D at traffic jam, ada rasa mcm jerking tapi slow je. kenape ye? is it normal? because 1st time using auto gear.
**suggest to use toyota ATF type 4 instead of proton sp3. is your model equipped with ATF cooler? located infront of your radiator, go check it out.

salam to u too..

1. yes, i think thats the tappet sound. it usual for v6 engine..
2. if it jerks, then there would be a problem. but u can try flushing the gb and replace the gb filter.

u have time tonite? Vsixers are having a TT session tonite at taman tun 10pm.
jom le jumpe, boleh aku tgk2 kan keta tu..

the teppet sound is normal in pv6, even mine got sound, solution? use thicker viscosity oil, but have to be semi syn, dun use fully syn ones as its too thin. i suggest q8 or idemitsu semi syn oils.

toyota atf type 4 is auto gearbox oil, i guess currently your running on proton sp3, that cannot withstand heat generated from the gearbox.

owh i see... may i know the cost for changing the oil? how many liters we use on our gear box?
futhermore how we can check the timing belt was change or not? because my seller said already change. but i dun think so... and one more thing my odometer not running... is it posible to change odometer oni or need to swap whole meter?

 

[DanzEterna]

workmanship for engine oil change ranging from rm10-15, if rm20 considered expensive, my mech charges me rm10.
well, for me, id rather change the timing belt myself. i dun trust any sellers.....they can sweet talk to u....janji the car is sold.

have u informed the owner that the odometer is not working? if not better inform him & get it fixed, costs half2 with the seller.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

for autobox, without ATF cooler 4L, with ATF cooler 5L.
do keep in mind, when changing timing belt, advisable to change water pump together, at least can save on workmanship.

workmanship for changing both will be around rm200++. where are u staying?

As-salam and G'day all,
Danz, need our opinion on 1 thing. now da gearbox is fixed, and still holding, i face with one problem and it's annoying. while driving and while upshifting or downshifting, my rpm drops to 0 engine check light on dash on with abs light. so if i kindda late in gearing, engine mati. release the clutch(while moving) engine on balik. is it something to do with tr unit or different matter altogether? btw, how do u reset ecu? i forgot how. something like disconnect battery, reconnect and ignition on for 20 mins?

what engine u are using?

 

[DanzEterna]

salam bro, 1st u might need to check your throttle body, maybe might need to be serviced & cleaning, u could diy too, use those carb cleaner, not WD40 remember.

2nd, could be your air flow sensor......or as u said the power TR unit.....anyways, try swap with your frens 1 1st, if its the problem then only source for it.

disconnect the batt, touch the terminal 3 times. leave it disc for 5 mins then connect it back.

 

[NeuroOne]

oh i remembered ur gb prob.
did u welded it back toether or fabraicate new Y plate?

 

[dSainte]

neuro -> tt bro. i opted for welded back together. still holding strong and let it be for all times hehehe cross my fingers
danz -> will get the tb clean by today. then try old v6 tr unit. common part rite?

 

[NeuroOne]

i also have similar experience like this before.
rpm not stable, and few times goes to 0.
clean the TB, and all is ok..

fuhh.. car go straight? steering seems loose? looks like steering rack, or maybe just the steering tie rod end. have to look and see.
creck creck might be driveshaft boot koyak and pasir masuk and made the driveshaft head kotor and making that sound..
that also have to look and see first..
