Bro you need to more specific how your car shaking. Any weird sound? Shaking at all speed?

 

[myperdana]

hi bro mines998.

ok sure. when i drive about 0-110 its moving smooth but when i reach 130 and above, the whole car is shaking bro.. shaking in a sense as vibration. steering and the body vibrates as well and its really annoying to drive.

before this, the car vibrates when ever i accelerate. after checking, replaced the drive sharp and the problem was solved. but now, when in high speed. it vibrates.

:(

 

[mines998]

Maybe you need to check yr lower arm infact my car also have similar problem vibrate around 90km to 110km but after that no more.

 

[myperdana]

forget to mention bro. both lower arm replaced with new one when i changed the drive shaft bro.. really confusing

one of my friend told me to check the front wheel rotors and did that too. still same. recently added centre hole also still same.

:(

 

[mines998]

I not sure it could be gearbox or not cos I never use auto before. Since your wheel, arm and drive shaft are new I can't figure out anything else? Btw during acceration did your car hesitating or not?

 

[myperdana]

no. it moves pretty smooth bro.. and there are no jerking of stuffs like that. deep im thinking might it be related with steering rack?

im also really blur with this condition and really hoping its not a bomb and solve it asap.

It could be your high speed balancing..i experience that on 115km/h to 120km/h.. after that no more till 190km/h no vibrate... also to add maybe ur rim got bengkok?

 

[NeuroOne]

yep.
check tyre balancing and whether the tyre already bulging or rims are bengkok.
my car also vibrates @ 150kmh, which i suspect the balancing not good which i had not done anything to it. coz i'm a law-abiding citizen, follow speed limit.. hehe...

 

[lan_eterna]

try cek your tie rod and rack end bro

Eh eh.. law abiding citizen.. i wonder who said can drove till 200km/h without any problem on the other thread... but i should say it should be tyre problem.. but in any special cases, your drive shaft could still be a problem... why? because it could be fitted too tight.. thus it has no play at all.. i experienced that before too..

 

[NeuroOne]

hehe. that's just testing. once in a blue moon only drive fast.
other times, i follow speed limit.

 

[myperdana]

thank you very much to all sifoos ..

about the rims and tyres.. fully check on it and both is in good condition. thats why i was so blur...

this morning i tried .. 110-130 the vibration getting more... 140 and above .. lesser bt still the same. ;(

 

[DanzEterna]

suspect your driveshaft problem bro.....

 

[myperdana]

i have the same feeling, im suspecting drive shaft and steering rack .. but just changed the drive shaft weeks ago. sigh ..

but bros, any good shops at JB area that are pros in repairing perdana issues?

 

[Ryzal78]

[myperdana]

viswork? the one at permas right.. used to go there last time too.

Salam and hello to all the V6ers out there. I just got myself a PV6 2002 last month and have read the forum from the beginning till the end. It has been very instrumental in my decision getting it even though a lot of people out there says that the PV6 is plagued with problems. I believe that it is quite a good car with a slight temperament.

My question to the Otai's and the Owners who have experienced it is, what would be the warning signs of your Auto GB going to be kaput? Is there things that you need to look out for so that you could be prepared (financially and time wise)? Or does the GB just go bust?

I do a lot of long distance travelling. From AS, Kedah all the way across to Kerteh, Terengganu and down to JB. Because as everyone always likes to say, prevention is better than cure.

 

[myperdana]

what i heard is get your oil cooler installed bro.. i dont think 2002 v6 comes with stock one.

2nd.. make sure change ur GB oil frequently. max 20000 mileage and service it with high grade oil and flush GB oil on every 60000km mileage.

3rd. try not to floor the pedals on pickup as the GB cant handle max pressure. one a while should be ok as the GB is not lasak enough for harsh driving.

thats the main things i know so far. btw do get a proper shop as some people say usually not the GB will give issue straight away but the GB sensors.

my situation same as u also .. gt my v6 1 months plus and now trying to repair slowly all the wear and tear parts. bt im liking it day by day bro.. just hope not down only

Nice to hear another proud owner of Perdana V6!

People choose his car based on particular reasons, a mix of rationality and emotions. I chose Perdana V6 definitely not because of its FC and GB, but rather mix of every other things like budget, comfort, usage, mod-ability, style and look etc etc... I have been giving it nice fixes hear and there every now and then and it definitely runs a lot better than the condition when I acquired it. A very satisfying experience of self-improvement and comparison.

So bravo to you bro Sea Dragon, your Perdana will take you a long satisfying way if you take good care of it. The 6A12 engine is still very potent, just that the gearbox is a little bit unruly but if pampered well it's quite ok.
