[QUOTE="puyukrl, post: 2414743, member: 53845"] Hi guyz, i also own a perdana. Mine is a V6. Just clock 100k mileage about a month back and like all of you said, it start giving problems. When i sent the car to change all the beltings, the mechanic told me the engine mounting has worn out, head gasket leaking, worn-out drive-shaft, leaking autogear box oil sump, alarm not working properly/ no sound, need to change the valve or something in the engine head coz its making sound. The valve thing as i was told is around Rm140 each and a V6 has 24 of them. (just imagine RM140x24) I was told all of that would cost me a lot and it is a better option if I change the engine, e.g: 6A12tt. Better in term of performance and money (expensive to overhaul the v6 engine). He said some half-cut 6A12TT has low mileage as low as 30k only and are far more superior in terms of quality. What do you guys think? Any suggestion? Which is the better option, fixing all the problems or changing the engine? I don't prefer a turbo engine becoz its more expensive to take care off then the NA version and its fuel consumption is very bad but I was told by the mechanic the turbo engine has good fuel consumption if I drive it normal (not fast all the time).
