Try checking your crank pulley...usually if the pulley have problem there will be a noise like you have said.

Since you are having this noise problem and will be having it checked out, why not do your major service at the same time. Even though timing belt have a service mileage like 70k or 80k km change, your car already 5 years old, so belt can also harden with time and especially heat....

bro, must get your figures right, mileage 610981km / service in another 10000km...for me its more than 2 years more to go.
u need to open the timing belt cover & run your engine again...
check where is it wobbling.

800rpm when engine is on with aircond is normal.

Ok thanks vr2turbo and danz, i think ill do the major service, k is the engine oil 15w 50 ok for perdana v6?

 

[DanzEterna]

10w40 bro

 

[vr2turbo]

10w40 bro

If FS then 5w-40 also can....

 

[DanzEterna]

v6 not recomended to use FS as its common for the head to leak oil. 10w40 should be sufficient.

If using SS all the while, then better not switch. I have friends using FS since day one seems okay....

is it true that old timing belt need to replace every few years? mine is giving some weird sound lately, this is because of it's not lubricate enough?

If it is a timing BELT, there is no lubrication as it is made of rubber and any oil on it will degrade it faster. Timing belt you can change and gauge by mileage if you travel a lot (follow the recommended mileage) and if low user, better to change by period say 5 years as the rubber can harden and snap....

I kena before in 3rd Generation Accord. Bought 2nd hand 4 years old, very good condition, SC maintained, Doctor's Car never used for outstation, that in why 4 years only 40k km on odometer. Mechanic recommend timing belt change at 60k km, so happily use first, then at around 50k km and 5 years old it snap while outstation. Funny thing is driving at 60kmh in kampung road....Lucky in a way driving slow so only damage was the belt, nothing else, but had to spend extra night outstation....:rolleyes:

hi sifus,
yesterday i went workshop, and the formen checked and showed me that my timing belt is not tight enough and my tension-er got prob, and i already bought the timing belt kit and water pump, and there got two tension-er bearings 5seals, and now i don't understand about the timing belt tension-er ,and is tat i need to change it to new whenever do major service? is that i need to buy it separately?

 

[vr2turbo]

By right need to change the tensioner too and all the seals. This is because to open up is difficult and cost a lot too. I see you are ready to change the water pump already even though old one still running fine. This is same case, since open up, might as well change, if not the water pump breaks down later, you have to open up again.
