Lucky the whole engine didnt boom! haha...

If its an old car better take the car to the workshop and flush out all the old stuff in the radiator and refill with new coolant. Check the pipes too. Because i ve had incident where it overheat because the pipe was stuck and the radiator is filled with rust, have to flush it. You can top up too.

check the absorber link. Usually foreman dont care.because absorber link very cheap.they will say aiyah u change lower arm and bushing...Gao dim d lo...bullshit.

O.o will check out with my foremen. Thanks for info.

hi all,i own a 2001 waja. regarding the radiator, i have a minor problem..i filled up the water in the reservoir until slightly more than half of the low and high level.(when engine cold, havent start)

Then i drove to kelantan(using gerik-jeli road) then when reach titiwangsa rest house, the coolant is overflowing from the top of the reservoir(the white bottle)

i let it be and now, the water level is just slightly above the low level in the reservoir. what is the problem? quite worried as i have to drive back during CNY and to have this problem is quite worrying as the mountain road is very very steep(always 5krpm).

Recently just flushed it.

any advice will b deeply appreciated.

fill up with just normal water? no coolant?

of course after flushing, refilled with coolant..but after that add water to the reservoir.

probably the thermostat is begin to become faulty, which was my case, keep 2 bottles of 1.5 litter of water in case of water being used up or drained. better to get it check, IMO, its normal for the water to flow to the reservoir and back, that is the purpose of the pressure cap on the radiator.

that is not the problem..the problem is, the water leak out from the reservoir(not the radiator cap) cap onto the road when i stop the car after reaching titiwangsa.

u put the coolant urself? how much u put?

not me..the mechanic..but i dont know how much he put..but i think should be enough because the fluid that overflowed from the reservoir is quite green.

If u want good handling and comfort, use TEIN or KW hi/lo soft/hard adjustable absorber with Eibach Pro lower spring.. Tested on my fren's waja, damn good.. But it depends on individual laa..

Yes u can remain stock abs.. But handling sure out.. Mine still use stock abs, so scared when cornering.. U can use stock abs with sport spring, but dunno until when ur abs can tahan..

Again, depends on u.. For me, definitely i want to change since i'm using 17" rims and like to drive fast2 when cornering..

I want sell my Proton Waja,Year 2003,1.6cc,Auto Transmission,Original Silver Color.Call me:0133903206 Ruff.

O.o someone want to leave the club...

Model: Waja Mitsu 1.6 (A) 2003
Color: Police white (a lil bit yellow)
Modifications: Rojak but feeling gooood!

hi folks!

welcome welcome
come share your rojak mods

Welcome to the club.

i wonder is it waja suspension mounting is same with gen2 , persona and neo?

i think u misunderstood me, the pressure cap control/allows the water from radiator to/ back to the reservoir, from what i know, when the engine too much heat:radiotor cant dissipate the heat effectively, the water gets hotter and pressure is built up, then is channeled to the reservoir. if i am wrong, sorry, just sharing what i know.

thx. i dont even think these can be considered as mod but juz wanna share with u guys.

1) air bleed device (i've taken it out after coz its mesh filter wasnt good enough to filtrate and i felt no improvement in both performance nor fc as it claimed)

2) magnet on fuel line (don't feel any improvement on fc or maybe it juz too little coz i have a friend that really measured his fc and noticed it really works!)

3) lower tie bar & front strut bar (cap ayam but my car now feel very stable when i whack corners)

4) vs (now only 2sec crank b4 engine fires up except cold start. i felt my brake pedal become tight too -can anyone explain why?)

5) redline air filter (engine become free revving)

6) hotbits exhaust bullet (at 3k-4k rpm now feel tourqey w/o sacrificing low end torque)

7) grounding cable (d most satisfied things ive done. b4 this mod, at 110km/h engine already started to wobble but now even at 150km/h, it still feel & sound smooth )
