Hi Guys need some help on my perdana v6. It's a five years old car and i've been sending to proton for general service. Ever since i've bought this car new the GB is always a problem. Proton SC has already change 5 GB for the past 5 years. Till now problem is not solved. Btw, warranty is over. Mileage is about 150k kms

Here are the problems:-
- GB atf cooler is always hot. I've change the ATF oils to synthetic. Need to pour some water to at atf cooler to cool it down.
- Jerks a lot when down shift and up shift.
- I thought of changing the GB to a better GB from mit. Any recommendation?
- Engine jerks.
- when i drive at night, lights seems to be very dim and dash lights as well. after driving hard for awhile everything seems to be ok or back to normal. I've checked the charging alternator and its good. Same goes to the battery. Can anyone tell me whats the std battery size for perdana v6.
- Sometimes can't start. No crank. Need to turn the keys at least twice before starting up.

Can anyone please help me please. Thank You.

1. ATF cooler will always be hot. optimum temp is around 80C. also, replace the hoses and make them direct from gb to ATF cooler. Proton installs the hoses go thru the radiator.
2. gb jerk might indicate the solenoids in the valvebody are not functioning nicely. maybe u need to replace ATF and ATF filter. how long the interval before u change ATF and ATF filter?
3. a better gb would be a manual gb. any auto gb from Mitsu in the same generation may encounter the same problem..
4. engine jerks how?
5. standard battery size is ns60 but i use ns70. better go bigger.
6. if no cranking noise, maybe starter starting to get weaker or maybe not getting enough juice. try installing starter relay.

guys, anyone installed these (lamps)?

hows the LED life span...cause those "brothers" kindda barang...LED cant tahan :P

my fren who works at NHF (the original producer of the projector headlights), have used the headlights for more than a year without any problem.
there are other manufacturer that copied the design..
well, NHF gives 1year warranty (or is it 6 months, cant remember), so if after warranty then the headlights rosak, then unlucky la. hehe..

Thank you very much for the reply.

ATF changed about 30k kms.

Engine jerk...dont know how to explain. Might need to check the coil packs.

 

[DanzEterna]

just install a fan infront of your atf cooler, will eliminate atf overheat & jerking problems.
im using ns60, use ns70 only if u have ICE in your car.

can change starter carbon brush....

 

[chriiz18]

yea been looking for a fan that actually fit right at the atf cooler.
still no luck and busy with work. hehehe...

Not using any ice but planning to install some.

 

[NeuroOne]

i put my ATF cooler in front of the radiator fan (which keeps on turning).
if u can find a small fan, even better.

if u upgrade battery to ns70 now also good, better cranking power, last longer.
my dry Bosch S4 battery is now more than 2 years old.

ATF i change every 20K km. ATF filter every 40K km..

Hi guys, i just bought my 2001 PV6 in a week! So far am happy with my car. I've already service the engine, change engine oil, oil filter and change the atf fluid. I'm yet to install ATF cooler for my gb. Any recommendation from you guys? JASMA,HAYDEN WORKS?
And maybe you guys could assist me on what to do next.

I heard it is standard for a V6 to have wind noise when speeding more than 100kmh. How to void the wind noise? need to replace the rubber trim or......? no idea how to solve.

Other than that, I love my new V6 even tho bought 2nd hehhehehe

Just dropping by to say Happy New Year Guys, drive safe during the long holidays as most people will be clearing leave and going places or balik kampung :)


Currently timing belt reaching 90,000 Km already. Was thinking of asking mechanic to just jack up the whole engine and check for oil leaks and change all the rubber seals / hoses /connectors and replace timing belt / spark plugs / water pump 1 shot. Considered semi major service lah i guess.

Btw NGK iridium IX with the 0.6mm tip really does last longer than the denso iridium 0.4mm tip. And tried Amsoil fully synthetic 20w50 which runs pretty well and minimal sluggishness even after long fast drive. Maybe its just placebo effect.. I dunno :)

Zeus : Your Rm105/450KM is city or highway or Mixed ? If fully city... ok lah... its around 18-25 cents depending on your right foot :)

 

[zeus83]

well its city...but considering penchala link is a highway i'd say mixed

**there is a chrome strip on your windscreen frame, that is the common problem, if its not then time to change your rubber linings on all doors.
Other than that, I love my new V6 even tho bought 2nd hehhehehe

must as well do top overhaul..

 

[mkdreamervl]

Danz : Mech says better don't touch up to gasket, cause after changing engine might loose pressure/power. Says it will never be the same as ori... so i'm prety worried to do a top overhaul.

Still in dilemma ... Kasi angkat engine first lah then decide what to do.

 

[YYC]

HI bro Danz, you have mentioned the windscreen's chrome strip. What to do about it if it creates wind noise?

 

[mkdreamervl]

YYC : Checked if any plastic which is a layer covering the chrome strip peeled/sticking out ? If yes just use a blade to cut off the peeling part.
