The Latest Waja, The Waja CPS
user posted image

The long-awaited Proton Campro CPS engine is now available in Malaysia (it was first introduced in Bangkok last year) with the Waja 1.6 Premium being the first model to have it. For those who are not familiar with this engine, it incorporates Cam Profile Switching (which is where the ‘CPS’ comes from), a mechanism which varies intake valve timing to enhance performance throughout the rpm range. The mechanism was developed by Lotus Engineering, a subsidiary of Proton.

Additionally, the Campro CPS engine also has a Variable Intake Manifold (VIM) which optimises the intake airflow volume according to driving conditions and is especially helpful in boosting torque at the low end. The VIM is a more sophisticated version of the Intake Air-fuel Module (IAFM) used in the Campro 1.3-litre engine of the new Saga.

user posted image
The maximum power output of the new Campro 1.6 CPS engine is 125 bhp (about 92 kW), 13% more than the 110 bhp on the non-CPS/VIM Campro engine. The new engine, in addition to providing smooth and responsive drivability, is said to be environment-friendly and complies with the latest European emission regulations.

With the CPS mechanism, Proton claims that the new Waja offers significant improvement in terms of drivability with maximum torque now increased to 150Nm. More importantly, the criticism of non-CPS engine that was first launched with the Gen2 – poor low-end torque – is now claimed to be addressed and Proton states that there is ‘better response and torque launch at low engine speeds of between 2000 - 2500 rpm when driving in the city’. During highway driving, it is also claimed that there will be better overtaking performance in the third, fourth and fifth gears within the 2,500 - 4,500 rpm engine speed range. The new Waja is available with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

There are also changes to the interior design of the model to add further value to customers. The model now comes with electric remote door mirror with electric folding housing, front seat with 3-way adjustable head rest (up, down and tilt), gated auto gear shifter (for automatic transmission), new centre panel switches and finishing, as well as a keyless trunk remote system, ABS, fog lamps, alloy rims and leather upholstery as standard.

Other additional features include xenon headlamps auto-levelling (so that other motorists are not dazzled), dual tailpipes, UV-cut windscreen glass and a ‘Euro-compliant body structure’.

"Proton is striving to improve ourselves in every aspect, particularly in terms of product offerings. With that in mind, we felt it was time the Waja evolved as well. The time is right for this change and I'm optimistic the market will receive this new model in a positive manner," said Proton MD, Dato' Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.

I bet the 10w-40 you're mentioning were Semi-Synthetic instead. nod.gif
Initially I thought of changing to Q8 Advance 10-40 Semi Synthethic but due to most of the dealers unable to cod with me on that day , I changed mine to Castrol Magnatec 10-40 Semi-Synthectic and it's running great.
Yeps , my hometown in Ipoh. smile.gif Maybe we can have teh-tarik session.

What's the price you paid for ?

By the direction he's mentioning , it should be the car wash that's before The Store from Medan Gopeng / Perak Girl School. ( It's larger compare to the one near the Roundabout. )

Live Update : I'm there right now waiting for my polishing done. The price for the 2 layer is actually Wax instead of polish and at the price of Rm40. It'll be Rm47 if together with wash and vacuum. Since I'm still a student and after some negotiation with the guy over there , He decided to charge me Rm80 that includes polish , wax , wash , vacuum and I think it's still pretty normal rate though. blush.gif

Update 2 : Everything's done and it looks great. smile.gif

for the crankshaft, i dun think theres any DIY troubleshooting. best to leave to mechanic la. Your steering shaking at high speed is most probably due to unbalanced wheel. take to tyre shop and tell them u wanna do balancing. should cost around rm 5 per wheel.

the "sheeee" sound when turning is quite normal la. its the power steering. but i dun think it will turn back to the middle itself when ur car is stationary. it will turn back just ABIT when u turn to the max and let go. hope this helps smile.gif

unbalanced wheel is one thing.. ur using standard rims or u've changed into bigger size rims?
yup the "sheee" sound came from the power steering.. maybe the oil is at its limit.. try changing the power steering oil..

crankshaft => leave to reliable mechanic...

shaking steering => do balancing at tyre shop
=> make sure rim not dented

streering sheeee sound => normal

steering turn back to middle => understeer if not mistaken....

Try to apply pressure to each of the spot of the absorber and see if it rebounds fast enough.

Anyway , my signal lamp which beside the fog lamp burned out , anyone know what socket it used ? Thinking to get those Polarg white type. blush.gif

its ok.. but lots of things to look into.. if u change into 17".. ur stock abs. is not meant for bigger rims thus it'll die/kong faster also depend on how ur drive.. plus without lowering ur car u gonna hav problem on cornering and different comfort level.. tyre selections also gonna effect the comfort.. if too thin can feel every details of the road.. lots more actually if list it..

open pod go for K&N and other good brands.. also must hav proper heat shield.. why don't go for drop-in less mod needed..

btw im doin open pod , can advise me what air filter is good for my waja?
*
bro, you definitely need to change the rims tongue.gif
changing to sports suspension setup should be ok. but the ride will be very bumpy with stiffer suspension + low profile tyres. imo, 16" with profile 50 is fine. i am using the stock 15" rims with 205/55/r15 at the rear and the cornering is great!!
by going for open pod, you may need to install a CAI with good filtering that channel the cold air direct to
to air filter. else, may end up sucking those hot air generated by the running engine instead doh.gif
either k&n or hks will be fine.

From what I know , HKS have good air flow but extremly bad filtration so please think twice before buying it.
Your choice will narrow down to Apexi or K&N , it's your choice. smile.gif

Anyone smoked their headlamp ? Planning to do it after raya by EA Autoworks , want to join ? biggrin.gif

For full flush for AT, we will need 7 liters of ATF?
What ATF is recommended?

If brakes need to be depressed really deep to stop is it just the brakepads or can it be something else?

Usually all darker color car fitted with smoked headlights which makes me feels they seems more suit for it. Hopefully you guys can share a picture of smoked headlight with a light silver waja. biggrin.gif

If I'm not mistaken , it only takes 5 liters of ATF. ( Even full flush , not all ATF fluid will be flush out )
Recommended ? I would use back Proton ATF. smile.gif

Hi guys, I'm driving Waja MT 2003,passed down to me by my dad 2 days ago. smile.gif
Wanna ask, what would you guys suggest to be change/mod for a Waja of this age. mileage at 200k+. I have a budget of RM3k~ to spare for any part changes/mod.Btw, I'm still studying, so not aiming for those '2 fast 2 furious' kind of mod, but aiming for a smoother ride and better fc.

Just FYI, a few days before handing over the car to me, my dad sent it to a workshop to change its engine mounting, all absorbers, plug and its cable, seat cover, new tinting, new set of Michelin's, timing belt and oil filter. so do exclude all these in your recommendation. smile.gif thanks in advance, guys.

No difference.. Angle Eye and Devil Eye are the same just that the ring is are either white colour or red.. maybe if red they called it devil eye
and Eagle eye is actually a brand name for vehicle lamps..
usually the chrome part of the lamp is blacken to get nice effect of the ring glow..

i am gonna assume that your RM 95 will give u 580km. which is about 16 sen/km. that's nice. usually highway kau kau or city driving alot?

also, what's your tire size? 195/60/R15?

haa! just as i expected. that's quite highway-ish, if u ask me.

but you've got a larger wheel (17", sports rims, eh? brows.gif ), so your mileage should be worst than mine... hmm...

thanks for the info, bro!

Anyone here know of any cheap paintshops in PJ area?

Have been seeing quite a number of Waja fitted with the R3 Bodykit, looks really good! Sadly, insufficient funds.

I'm not sure about you guys, my 2003 Waja AT can go as far as 700KM with 50 liter RON97 (90% highway, speed constantly at 110km/h)
But with 100% city driving.. It can only take me as far as 350-400KM with the same amount of petrol sad.gif

depends on what mod done on ur car also.. i think if i use 15" can easily get 680km++.. but i've never stick to either one off city or highway drive..
always mix of those.. thats the main reason i can manage to get 500km++..

Hi guys, I'm driving Waja MT 2003,passed down to me by my dad 2 days ago. smile.gif
Wanna ask, what would you guys suggest to be change/mod for a Waja of this age. mileage at 200k+. I have a budget of RM3k~ to spare for any part changes/mod.Btw, I'm still studying, so not aiming for those '2 fast 2 furious' kind of mod, but aiming for a smoother ride and better fc.

Just FYI, a few days before handing over the car to me, my dad sent it to a workshop to change its engine mounting, all absorbers, plug and its cable, seat cover, new tinting, new set of Michelin's, timing belt and oil filter. so do exclude all these in your recommendation. smile.gif thanks in advance, guys.
*
Welcome and what a great father u have there drool.gif
3K for a smoother ride is sufficient enough. U may get Mythelogy Lighten Crank Pulley (LCP), K&N drop in air filter, remove cat-con n replace with midbox, S-flow muffler (Tanabe medallion G) 15" or 16" light weight rims (5-6kg/pc). Pretty hard to get good fc and it's very much depends on your right foot.

Too bad i'm not from central, perhaps some fellow forumer here able guide to reputable exhaust shop.
As my usual advice, if u getting midbox or bullet, always get those with straight flow type and ignore what the shop
try to recomend u. Midbox and bullet is a resonator, the major role is header, piping size and muffler.

I'm not quite sure about the percentage of performance gain but at least it gives better air flow without much restriction. If you're seriously interested , maybe we can go to Everco Sunway on coming thursday as I might removing it and replace with a midbox.

Price is around Rm250 with installation. smile.gif

rm746 can buy 2 taiwan made fuel pump already. pesc pricing is quite high. since my waja is already out of warranty, i only go to pesc for diagnostic.

@Andy0625@
mines adjustable is tailored for better handling. thus sacrifice certain level of comfort. albeit, not as hard as tein.
comfort wise, stock suspension setup still better. please update us on your exhaust project icon_rolleyes.gif

btw, i recommend a friend to buy stock a-fuji shock absorber from imperialreacs@alan and the comfort level is better than the standard apm.

That's means Mines adjustable is not bad at all right ? About hard , will it as hard as my spoilt abs ? My current abs definitely a must to slow down to around 20km/h and below to pass a bump , else will be very bumpy.

Anyway , I have around some spare cash to spare and I'm not sure which part to go first. Does Sunway Pyramid or Seri Petaling nearby/direction is correct to Pavillion from Cyberjaya ?

@nayte*
60 bucks. .
am not supposed to reveal the price here but a pair of new front absorber is very cheap. you can check the a-fuji shock absorber price at garage sale. under imperialreacs or something. nice seller.

@Andy0625*
adjustable setup mainly for sporty ride. your dead abs is not only hard but bumpy as well. tongue.gif are you on profile 55 tyre?
nearby sri petaling is the correct direction from cyberjaya to pavillion.

@elnino*
the best practise is by filling up when there is at least a quarter of fuel inside. waja fuel pump is very sensitive. filling up only when the fuel light warning turn on will damage the fuel pump over the time.

@gabenor*
diagnostic is very useful when you feel there is something wrong with the car's behaviour. ie; engine, gearbox......and so on. it will help in identifying the
source of the problem. there is a diagnostic codes guide in the 1st page if am not mistaken.

the milage per tank depends on each individual driver habits. on my last KL trip RM95 of petrol lasted me 700kms including highway maintaining 110km/h and some sprited driving in KL due to no traffic.

2nd tank from KL back to home town only got ard 600km cause i was going pushing almost 180km/h a few times.

i'm on Waja CPS (M)

i found you guys FC are very good indeed.
I'm currently driving a 03' 4G18, my full tank could only take me around 580 and that is 80% highway.
Once I was driving with the petrol empty indicator on for 120km+, not recommended thing, was just testing how long can it last when the indicator is on.

For 80% city drive, I could only do 340km with 50liter. Heavy foot? or its me getting heavier?

I doubt so. As I often try not to rev more than 3k rpm during low gear changing.
Only widen road or not traffic flow only I rev a bit higher which only happens occasionally.

juz wanna share some tips... if you guys ever noticed, during the cold start up, the temperature will take a couple of minutes before it goes up to the optimum operating temperature which is slightly under 90 degree.
it's not advisable to 'push' the car harder, initially. cuz the biggest wear and tear will happen when we 'push' the car before it reach the optimum operating temp.

@Azuma kun,
i was initially attracted to neo cps due to it's sporty behaviour but no cps engine for me. i'd rather go for mivec or gsr turbo. thumbup.gif


@ohtdpg7w,
does those pesc ppl service your air-cond? about the bad smell, the culprit could be the old air-cond liquid which can be changed around 45 bucks.
btw, there are quite a number of nano things air cleaner / refreshner in garage sale, you can try 'em icon_rolleyes.gif

i agree...i upshift upon reaching 2000rpm every time before my temp needle reaches normal temp.

once reached all hell breaks loose..CPS pun bukak...

my old 4G18 auto with hotbits 4-2-1 n K&N drop-in does 10.8km per liter in 100% town drive in Penang.

my S4PH CPS manual stock standard 11.8km per liter stock standard. no mods yet. also same driving conditions.

4-2-1 or tri-y is power better power delivery for mid to hi engine speeds.

4-1 is for hi engine speeds. the powerband is narrower but higher peak output.

there is the hybrid 4-2-1 which has longer primary section to boost the top end power. please do a google search as there are plenty information to be learnt

agree.. those hybrid 4-2-1 header is actually 4-2-1 custom with extended length.. usually u have to go for good tuner shop.. like powerzone.. coz they hav R&D in-house which if you want diffferent powerband they can consult u on picking up the right length and stuff, and i think the header they r selling is quite good which is a wider powerband then normal 4-2-1 header.. coz if u go to any "pakar exhaust" shop they just put some 4-2-1 header and said u have to change diameter of whole exhaust system (usually using "pipe putih" cheapest piping) and say to change to big size s-flow muffler that they convince u it have good sound..

4-2-1 extractor have power all around the range from low end to high end while 4-1 extractor gives better torque but less low end power.

Conclusion : How often do you rev your engine up to 3k rpm ? If you hardly rev up and prefer more power on low end in city drive , go for 4-2-1. ( Vice versa for 4-1 ) smile.gif

Change plan about my mazda 3 2.0..
Mum's kenari aging and we just booked a Fiat 500 for her..

Don't go for cap ayam exhaust system, they sucks..
I've changed mine to whole set everco and it's as silent as stock.
The everco fellow My car was runing too rich when using cap ayam resulting quite heavy smell from my exhaust.
Now all problem solved..
Save more and get a better exhaust setup.

Of course. More power=more fuel. But then, the hp increase will make up for that rather than doing all other mods you mentioned. And with more power you will also go lighter on the throttle (maybe the FC will not be so bad).

hmm.. those quote about BOT and high FC is not all wrong.. but try asking wajarays (WC/TI).. he been using BOT for quite awhile.. and he claims that he can still get 500 - 700km for full tank with 0.5bar.. i think its quite good.. plus the power u'll gaining..
can refer here

7.5k complete set with new stuff and tuning package.. i also wanna go for turbo when start working back.. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
there is also different type of turbo.. hav u ever heard of soft turbo? mainly their boost is under 1.0bar.. and seems just fit to those engine that are not meant for turbo.. nod.gif hmm.gif

May I know is it legal to remove or replace the cat-con on a vehicle? Because according to wikipedia, 'A catalytic converter (colloquially, "cat" or "catcon") is a device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine.'
So, by removing it, it will cause harmful emissions to the air right?

a few weeks back, my waja still have half a tank full of RON97

I drove long distance with it till it nearly ran out - drove the usual 150+ km/h stuff, lots of overtaking and things.

then halfway, i filled it up with RON95

and continued my driving. there's ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE,

i found you guys FC are very good indeed.
I'm currently driving a 03' 4G18, my full tank could only take me around 580 and that is 80% highway.
Once I was driving with the petrol empty indicator on for 120km+, not recommended thing, was just testing how long can it last when the indicator is on.

For 80% city drive, I could only do 340km with 50liter. Heavy foot? or its me getting heavier?
*
brother, 50 liter or RM 50? BIG DIFFERENCE YOU KNOW? tongue.gif

that's like 26 sen/km; similar to my sister's 05' auto Gen.2, tak boleh pakai wei...

what is your tire pressure? don't settle for anything below 30psi. i remember when i collected my new waja CPS and finished the first full tank (i assume the salesman gave me RM 90 fuel), it was at 380km. i got shocked. then i measured the tire pressure, guess what? IT WAS AT A BLOODY 23 PSI!!!!!! mad.gif

then i pumped to 34psi, RM 90 fuel, and it finished at 520km icon_idea.gif

nowadays, i make sure my all four tires are at 35psi. sure it feels a bit bumpy, but my car feels light icon_rolleyes.gif

in fact, there is no different from the side. the very same profile 55. the rear tyre is slightly wider than the front for better cornering grip thumbup.gif
am fine with 15" though.
i pump 32psi front and 31 psi back. full tank can last up to 550km(80%city / 20% highway) till the fuel warning light turn on.
50km...seldom rev over 4k rpm btw....civilized driver on waja auto but something else on gsrt wiralution... tongue.gif

Any suggestion on which performance part can I upgrade to improve the fuel consumption?

I pump my car tyre pressure as recommended, 32psi front, 29psi back. But I did add another 0.5psi. Using 215/55/17 tyre. Should I pump more air? The current ride is ok, a bit bump cause of thinner tyre.

Btw, not sure if it's personal psycho or what, I just pump BHP ron95 (before this using petronas ron95), there is a noticable surge in power. Anyone try it yet? Haven't finish my first tank, so not sure if it improve FC or not.

there is a limit on on 4g18 mods. mivec engine should give more tweaking option.... just my 2c. icon_rolleyes.gif

btw, about the ron 95 talk, shell and petronas' sux' big time.
bhp offer more bang for bucks. better acceleration and more mileage. but check out the throttle body more often.

True..but it will cost more to do transplant, plus other hidden cost such as changing wear n tar parts, endorsement, etc.. The 4g18 is atleast your engine and should be fine if u take good care of it before.

Just bought myself K&N Filter instead of changing my exhaust system , right after installation , the engine feels light and wanna rev all the time. Definitely recommended.

But I broke one of my Clip that snaps and holds the filter in between. Replacing will cost me around seventy bucks, sigh.

What kind of K&N Air Filter you change? Where did you bought? Mind share with me? I'm having thoughts of changing the air filter too but have no idea which are reasonable.

I think there's two types of K&N Filter only right ? Mine one is Drop-in filter. I bought it from a forumer here and I can say quite a good deal.

If you're using Manual and looking to get the best performance , go for Open pod with profer heat shield else just stick with Drop In type. Price should range around Rm275 to Rm300. biggrin.gif

Definitely recommended to upgrade your stock filter to K&N.

just service the car's TB about a month ago. after 2nd refill with bhp's ron95, i noticed the car pick up from standstill
is not as smooth but pick up after 1.8k rpm is better than other brand of ron95. take out the TB, clean it up again and the acceleration
is back to normal again.

Btw, not sure if it's personal psycho or what, I just pump BHP ron95 (before this using petronas ron95), there is a noticable surge in power. Anyone try it yet? Haven't finish my first tank, so not sure if it improve FC or not.

you are not alone. bhp's ron95 does perform better than other brand of ron95. more power under lower rpm but my rpm needle just refuse to go beyond
3.8k rpm sweat.gif it takes ages to reach 4k rpm using shell's ron95 but no such problem with ron97.
btw, bhp's ron95 gives an extra mileage too!
just make to check the throttle body more often.

just service the car's TB about a month ago. after 2nd refill with bhp's ron95, i noticed the car pick up from standstill
is not as smooth but pick up after 1.8k rpm is better than other brand of ron95. take out the TB, clean it up again and the acceleration
is back to normal again.

I think there's two types of K&N Filter only right ? Mine one is Drop-in filter. I bought it from a forumer here and I can say quite a good deal.

If you're using Manual and looking to get the best performance , go for Open pod with profer heat shield else just stick with Drop In type. Price should range around Rm275 to Rm300.  biggrin.gif

Definitely recommended to upgrade your stock filter to K&N.

So what are the differences between the Drop-in filter and Open pod? any pictures I can see? tongue.gif

Just bought myself K&N Filter instead of changing my exhaust system , right after installation , the engine feels light and wanna rev all the time. Definitely recommended.

But I broke one of my Clip that snaps and holds the filter in between. Replacing will cost me around seventy bucks, sigh.

hey bro i thought u had exhaust system modded already? how much u got your drop in for? lol.
hmm 275-300 for open pod including heat shield and CAI ah? or just the filter only?

Nope , intially thought of taking out the cat-converter and replaced with a Mid Box but then I were going to Pavillion that day and it's pretty late when I came back.
I got my drop in for three hundred bucks. The 275-300 is for drop in filter. Not really sure about open pod though , must be the same with Drop in filter but considering the cost for CAI hose and heat sheild , you'll spend extra hundred to two hundred at least.

It's recommended to get the K&N , feels so light after I changed mine. drool.gif

I guess they have increased their price to Rm275 onwards for Proton Waja.

Can you guys recommend me a skillful and resonable price - accessories shop to rewrap my steering ?

Guys, need your opinions. I own a 2005 Waja 4G18 (M). Have thus far done approx 115,00 KM. Have so far replaced, timing belt, all other belts, A/C Compressor, Alternator, Drive Shaft (Drive side), twice changed absorbers since the original and have for the majority been serviced with Fully Synthethic Engine Oil.

I'm feeling the engine is feeling kiknda loose of late and getting very noisy. I have identified the Radiator Fan being faulty and have deicided to change it in my next service which is just around the corner. Planning to get my timing belt replaced as well, since noticed there's been some recent slips in it while on running condition.

My question would be: There car has been very noisy of late with loads of cranking sounds. I suspect that I mite need to replace my engine mountings. The engine tho is very responsive due lack the power it once used to churn out. Do you feel my Waja would need an overhaul?

bros..

im helping my bro to choose an auto 2nd hand car. between a Black Gen2 and black/burgundy? color waja. both of the car is yr 04 and have almost the same value plus minus somewhere between 30k +++

driving wise 50% city 50% hgway.
which u recon for FC wise ? as i have a minimal experience driving those two cars..

i recon to him the black gen2 cuz looks sporty,suit his age & gud handling but dunno if there any reason that he shud choose a waja over gen2 ?

i've posted this too inside gen2 thread.. its just like, as am older brother, i felt like i need to advise him and i dun want my bro to gamble on 2nd hand car. yet, i have minimal experience in driving waja or gen2. he is 24, get wedd next year, and purchasing new car is still expensive.. its better to get decent 1.6 2nd hand four door than entry level saga with the same market price..

Could those lost of power and noisy sound due to the Fully Synthetic oil you using ? I heard that 4G18 is not really that suitable to use thin oils.

I have no experience with Gen 2 , but if you belive Campro engine , then go ahead else just advise your brother to get Proton Waja with the Mitsubishi engine. I have been running 150k+ mileage without any major problem. Only changed timing belt once at 90k , both fan ( air con and radiator ) and power steering pump.

When getting an used car from car dealer , remember bring your mechanic along or drive to your mechanic to have a look whether the car is worth buying or not. smile.gif

for me,i will advicing him on the technical part rather than other thing...buying 2ndhand car need lots of attention..the condition of the car..resale value..maintenance,things u need to do once u get the car and everything..the practicality of the car/ proposed of usage n etc...did he own a car b4?humm..

i got 1 tips...every car got manual book...from there u can trace the previous owner...at the manual book/service book,it will hv information such as the service record and old owner contact number..simple,from there u can get the number n try to call them..from my experience the previous owner will tell u anything about his ex-car....let say u oledi choose between tht 2 car..try to check the history of the car...from the owner..but remember..sumetimes the seller/used car will keep the service book...the honest seller will let u to check the car background...easier...

if you want something less problematic, go get the 2004 waja 4g18p. older campro in gen2 tend to be unstable. sometimes, either auto rev or refuse to rev in certain condition sweat.gif
campro is a high rev engine in nature, thus you need to rev it to higher range to get the best out of the engine. while waja 4g18 is suitable for city driving due to the availability of more torque under 3k rpm. if am not mistaken, my waja auto run at 125km/h at slightly under 3k rpm.
as for the FC, most of the waja 4g18p auto owner easily get close to 600km on full tank of ron97. mine return roughly close to 525km on full tank in city driving.
of course, gen2 does look more sporty but space and comfort goes to waja!
bear in mind, buying a 2nd hand car is some sort of a gamble where you may end up with suspension/ abs, tyre, atf / engine oil / belts / bush / battery or even air-con and power steering replacement / service overdue.
bring along someone who is familiar with car for test drive. check if there is a knocking sound from inside the engine, squeaking sound when going over speed bump / cornering, check the tyre for uneven thread wear, straight line braking, no leaking, minimal engine / tranny jerking......and the list goes on.... smile.gif

Just wanted you to know that for Waja, the relation between the gauge needle and the actual fuel remaining inside the tank are:

4/4 (F) -> 100%
3/4 ->50%
2/4 ->25%
1/4->10%

p/s: its not linear.

hmm i thought it was 50. because each time i pump when my meter shows 1/4 left, i'm only pumping in around 40-43 litres of petrol. and that would mean that i've actually have around 20 litres left in the tank.. thats like more than 30% left. lol

2002 waja should be price around 24-26k only. Sorry to break the news. I think you can find details of good mechanics in V5 thread.

LoL... Waja auto can clock below 3k rpm @ 125km/h??? My manual waja can't get that figure, 125km/h at least over 3k for sure. Between, I could merely hear some noise from my tyre... Inside the cabinet when running.. Sound like something else turning except for tyre... My vibration never fixed after I do balancing for my wheel. And the car seems like going left or right sometimes... Especially when braking, it will goes either left or right depend on the car "mood"... Problem mentioned above not serious... Actually , wheel balancing already helped much in reducing the vibration of the steering. Maybe i should say it this way, Reduce from 80% vibration to 20% vibration. Solution from all senior members here?

maybe time to change engine mounting... as for the brakes.. im not too sure. i think auto cars tend to run at lower rpms because they only have 4 gears.. so the difference in gear ratios are higher. correct me if im wrong notworthy.gif

guys i'd like to ask.. when using iridium spark plugs, what effects will it give to the car compared to normal ones? it costs around 180 right?

is it true the car can reach 125km/j at below 3k rpm.. i think they have mod the gear ratio to get the speed.

typo error guys .... tongue.gif was 115km/h at slightly under 3k rpm(29xxrpm) icon_rolleyes.gif

@nayte@
tested. the performance you gain in using the iridium spark plug is very minimal compare to the price you have to pay.
am using the standard bosch spark plug with bosch cable. so far so good.
properly tuned 4-2-1 extractor and k&n drop-in air filter gives better result.
perhaps, pulleys thingy is another alternative.

btw, any news on yokohama ad08 in malaysia yet?

Insurance should be less than 1k. So your processing fee (roadtax, name transfer, loan arrangement) cost around 2k?! That is expensive! What else did you pay?

Obviously, vibration is cause by moving part, any part that move can be the cause of vibration. Leave your car in free/neutral gear, then start revving from idling to, say 5-6k rpm, very slowly. Then note the vibration on your steering. Some slight vibration is normal for >4 years waja, usually more noticable around 2.5-3k, a sign of wear and tear. Something I notice when I was scouting for 2nd Waja some time ago. smile.gif
However, if your steering vibrates terribly at all rpm, (worst case, vibrate at idling), confirm engine mounting already.

But, if the vibration is acceptable/normal in neutral gear, and only vibrate when driving, then it can be due to tyre balancing, and etc... Try post your observation here, some sifu may able to help. smile.gif

i have change new tyres and do alignment.. the mechanic told me my chamber position at right front wheel out of spec range, need to change the screw chamber that cost me rm45 for that things.. i just wonder why our stock front wheel car did not come with that kind of screw.. i think its so expansive for that screw la... is it correct we must change the screw chamber to do alignment coz our stock screw cannot be adjusted.

Yeah, I kena also.. ask to change to camber nuts rm 90 already.. damn pain.. But interestingly alignment is good after the work. Though my mechanic friend tells me it is actually kinda useless and proper alignment can be done without a change of camber nut..

Anyone can confirm what the nut actually does?

Then better go to other shop. Alignment doesn't need to adjust camber. It just to make sure the tyre are pointing straight.

I bet most of them face this problem as myself facing this problem aswell.

Solution ? Changed all of it to metal window frame/motor and do sound proof/deadening. smile.gif

Anyone know where I can send my TB for cleaning ? Although everyone saying that it's quite easy but still no experience yet. Please help.

My brother was following me home yesterday.

He is driving his Peugeot 308. I am in my 03' 4G18 Auto Waja. both fully stock.

Acceleration from standstill-80kmh he was right behind - but after 100kmh I started pulling away slightly but he caught up again.. performance wise I think the 308 will win hands down as he was not driving as hard.

But when it came to highspeed corner, the 308 being a heavier car and softer suspension has lots of problem keeping up, especially if there are irregularity on the road. Slow tight corners, there are no difference.

All in all, I can confidently say that the Waja has the best handling in its price range:) (note i didnt say category or segment! though Im sure it would be one of the better handling cars in its segment too)

just my sharing:)

my question???

do u replacing it by urself or shop?...

if u know how to install by urself than u need to check the movement part especialy window area... yawn.gif

oh the other thing i forgot but im sure many facing this after replacing ori to metal type..
there are small column that use at door opening mechanicsm..
u cant hear this during old type because the old one cover it... and the sound too deem but
due metal type got a lot of expose area,, u can hear it clearly...

its not easy to solve it but what i do (succeded), uninstall all window mechanism than u can check door opening
mechanism... try move that collumn by ur hand and u will see that collum can move freely.. even can hit ur car door body.. thats the sound come from.. then find any tape to cover that metal/collumn then u go.... its still hit the wall but due u use tape, the tape will absorb the pressure n noise produce so low...

hope u understand what i try to explain here... if got pic i can show but i just repair my power window due window holder bend and no pic taken.. sorry guys..

blush.gif

p/s : it takes me a couple of month to notice the source of problem...

my question???

do u replacing it by urself or shop?...

I still using stock rear speaker and decide to remove it..but i cant see the screw..maybe somewhere inside..that's why i can't remove it..

if u know how to install by urself than u need to check the movement part especialy window area... yawn.gif

oh the other thing i forgot but im sure many facing this after replacing ori to metal type..
there are small column that use at door opening mechanicsm..
u cant hear this during old type because the old one cover it... and the sound too deem but
due metal type got a lot of expose area,, u can hear it clearly...

there is a 'bassy' sound from the underneath front when my car turning slowly and the steering turn is almost full(never turn it full, btw bad practise tongue.gif . )
could it be the drive shaft / bush problem? hmm.gif

well, it's just a part of my driving habit. doesn't matter on what car i drive but i seldom(1st few time on different car of course, coz we need to get to understand the certain steering's turning radius / degree blush.gif ) turn the steering in full force.
btw, am sending my car for a regular check up this weekend.

My parent old car, had this harsh "crock" sound when the steering is turned until the end. Don't know if it would happen to waja or not, but because of that, I don't turned my steering to the end also. tongue.gif And because of that, waja turning radius is ridiculously large, need to stop 2x to park my car. doh.gif

basically why u don't force ur steering to turn to the max and hitting its limit point is rather to lessen the wear of ur steering bush.. maybe lots of those problem u guyz having comes from a faulty steering bush..

If dono where to service, better send to proton service center for first service. I sent mine to the proton service, expensive a bit, but worth it lor. Anyway, glad that I found a good first owner, till now satisfy with the car, no major problem so far. Touch root. blush.gif laugh.gif

better stick to manufacturer's recommended engine oil. am on shell's hx7... so far so good.


@Aurora@
as long as we change the atf on time ( manufacturer's recommended is 20k but i change mine at 15k interval), it will be ok. maintenance and proper way of using is fundamental.


guys, anyone tried the Surbo? those ppl claimed it increased the car's performance significantly.. hmm.gif

btw, apart from the pro-rs brake hose, guang dao vs, twin tip exhaust swap from waja 1.8 and k&n air filter, my car is completely stock. next up is twin pots front brake conversion. my mechanic already has the stuffs but i am undecided ;
twin pot vr4 rs or twin pot evo 3......??? rclxub.gif

am still using the standard oem proton atf fluid. dot4 if am not mistaken(correct me if am wrong).
used to cost around 23 bucks a liter. replacement need around 4 liter.
you may try the equivalent atf fluid from motul.

Did you change to a better brake pad before considering changing the brake hose ? I feel a little reluctant changing the brake hose as if there's any problem with it , it's going to take life.

Initially I went to tyre shop to swap the front tyre to the rear and do allignment and wheel balancing together but the mechanic over there took a test drive before he do the allignment and said that the Steering "bush"/"rubber" was worn out which he use a torchlight pointing it to the steering "rack"/"sub" which in the engine bay to show that it were loose , so no choice but to replaced the worn one with 2 new rubber. Before he finish to replaced the 2 rubber , one fella came over and said that the Engine mounting was broken and cracked in another one which again , doesn't have any choices but to get it replaced.

After they have done everything and I was going to leave , I engaged into D and waiting for the traffic lights to turn green and to my dismay , the steering vibrates much more comparing to the broken engine mounting and I was forced to U-turn back and ask them about it. If I'm not mistaken , they said they'll try loosen the screw and re-tighten it and see if it helps. Although it doesn't vibrates as much as before but still you can feel the vibration with D engaged and brake being pressed during idling. Since the shop were closing and they're rushing going back , they also said that try a few days and see if the vibration will be still there.

I'm not sure about the others , but despite spended a small fortune and the time taken , I'm pretty much unstatisfied with it.



Since I'm not quite statisfy with the outcome , I would really like to know could the vibration due to the new mounting which the rubber haven't seals in properly ? or It is caused by the cheap engine mounting ? FYI . It's only around sixty plus for each of them and they changed two mounting only instead of four.
Would really like to hear from you all. smile.gif

For better response, change brake hose together with brake pad.

So far from my friend experience the steel braided brake hose is much better than standard hose, cause the reinforced hose makes the braking much stable.

Those vibration you had now is due to engine mounting change. My mechanics recommend to change full sets of engine mounting for Waja, or else the same problems like you occurs. I just change my whole engine mounting sets last month, and no such vibration as you feel right now.

@Andy0625@
from my experience, all of the engine mounting have to be replaced in one shot. else, as the other 2 older engine mounting crack, the vibration may become more and more unbearable...
depending on the brand, but the side(l/r) one is more expensive(may cost about 50% more) than the front / rear.

@b48753@
the steel braided hose seem to settle my spongy brake problem too.
btw, am on bendix metal king titanium brake pad and i noticed it bites the disc faster than my old lousy mintex pad sweat.gif
now, my mechanic advice me to either upgrade to 2 pots or go for disc skimming sweat.gif
or perhaps, buying a performance disc that fit to the stock brake system as a replacement will be just fine!

10-40w. you can either use mineral(5k), semi synt(7k) or fully synth(10k); depending on the mileage...

Hi guys,

My 2002 waja auto, suddenly got problem with the timing.
When idle, the timing is very low, and sumtimes the engine runs very slow until it switches off. The other thing, the vibration is quite tremendous. I can feel the whole car vibrating when the timing is very low.
This thing happens out of a sudden on this week. Before this it was okie..
Anyone experiencing this b4?

'hanta pergi tune up ECU

Thanks for your reply , yngwie.

Since they have put in those chapalang Engine mounting for the Up and Down side , is it okay if I get the better ones ( TE Engine Mounting ) which is selling in LYN here for the Left anf Right ? I can seriously feel the engine vibration when D engaged with brake pressed. ( Complete stop ) sad.gif Before they changed , even the cracked one never produce any vibration , just that the steering wont turn back to original position during U turn.

Anyway , How much you bought for the 1.8 twin exhaust ? I thought of going to de-cat next month but the engine mounting giving problems.. blush.gif We'll see how later. drool.gif

ohh okay. i guess my mech put in a higher viscosity grade of engine oil for a reason. my car has clocked 153k km already. so i guess it wont be advisible to switch to a less viscous oil right?

btw im just curious. why does a fully synth oil that is supposedly thinner last longer than semi synth which is thicker? kinda confused with this one.

Not so sure bout TE brand..but anyway if using original (proton) engine mounting it totals up RM 250 without installation. Shop will charge around RM80 for installation.

thanks for the head up, bro. i always mixed up the term.
your pblm could be caused by the waja floater strange behaviour. try driving further and see if you could cover at least another 350km... tongue.gif
i seldom refill full btw. always maintain at 2/3. this case, the car doesn't feel so heavy.
don't wait till the fuel warning light is turn on prior to every refill. waja fuel pump is very sensitive.
fuel pump could last over 5 years on proper usage(refer to above).
how fast were you driving?

@Andy0625@
steering vibration only or dashboard vibration too? have you service you steering pump lately?
any brand should be almost identical to the oem one. as long as they give you the warranty / good workmanship, i guess should be ok. icon_rolleyes.gif

the ori twin exhaust was given to me by my friend when he upgraded his twintip mivec to the bigger one.
mainly for cosmetic purpose cuz' i didn't feel any noticeable different in performance.
kinda tempted to change my cat-con too. i saw one non-welded type in rimus brand but it cost quite a lot sweat.gif

There's rattle sound from the dashboard , but it doesn't vibrate like earthquake though. changed the steering pump months ago in SC.

Anyway , I might be putting the mounting on hold and going for removing the cat-con , wanna go along ? biggrin.gif Maybe we can get cheaper price.

i prefer those non-welded type mid box. i saw one in bandar tasik selatan. relatively unknown rimus brand already cost around 250 bucks.
where are you located at?
@cosmi@
starting up is above 10k and slightly below 10k after a while. you have to wait for the temp gauge to move to idle temp which is slightly under 100 degree
for optimum idle rpm.
btw, the usage of different type of engine oil; mineral, semi synth or full synth does affect the cold start up and idle temp.

What kind and brand of absorber you changed ? The price you paid for is pretty reasonable considering that it includes labour charge. I heard that A-Fuji brand that selling in Lyn by imperialics is not bad and cheaper a ill too.

im not sure what brand it is.. cos i passed my car to my cousin and he took it to change at the workshop. but i rmb him telling me its not the gas type. its the hydraulic one. labour charges were not included though. i was charged rm60 for labour for changing engine oil and the absorbers.

does everco open during weekend cuz' am all tied up on weekdays ?
btw, i bought a set of stock front abs from imperialrealcs@alan before. i could say it was more comfortable than the oem which is of apm brand. and damn cheap too tongue.gif
for fast cornering, tein adjustable is top notch but it sux' in our standard road condition with lotsa' potholes.
damn bumpy ride.
anyone has an experience with a comfortable adjustable suspension?
even mines and sustec soft setting is still not comfortable enough. no more ah beng ride for me sweat.gif

btw, i could have 'd bought this WHEELS if not for the small spoke... sweat.gif

So you're staying around there , and that's cool!
I met a road bully over there today which on the Flyover (whereby if you go straight below the flyover and make a U-turn you'll reach The Mines there) and I was damn angry about that fella which drives a Black color Honda City Number plate BGW 3327.

That time I was wondering which road to take to cheras as I'm paying attention to my GPS to double confirm and I was driving on the emengency lane of that Flyover. Since I'm paying attention to the GPS , I suddenly saw that there's a motocycle infront of me which I'm already quite near , so no choice but I need to slow down and cut into his lane. He doesn't seems want to let me cut into his lane which he keeps on accelerate trying to block me , unfortunately there's another motocycle following me at the back quite near , so I directly press hard on my accelerator and cut into his lane.

I saw that he's damn pissed off trying to cut me back from the left side and pushing me to the side of the wall. He even wind down his windows and showing a rod which he tries to slow down to do something with my car.


If it happens that guy to be your friend , please advise him dont be an as$hole. You think that you're the only one who have rods ? Infact I have more than 2 steel rods in my car. Although I might be young but please dont mess with me and stop being an as$hole.

chill bro cool2.gif the mines area is so big tongue.gif i know none of city by the plate of bgw3327. but am surely on the lookout when am coming over to there.
i am staying in cheras but always go to the mines 'yam cha' with buddy.
talking about bad road planning; actually, the road around the mines area is quite confusing. especially the one heading to cheras /serdang / the mines shopping fair. you could stay in your line and out of sudden, the line is dead and you're either force to stay in your line or cut into other road user's line sweat.gif
btw, the highway that pass through the mines shopping fair to balakong is famous for ah beng racer at night. be careful!
some driver are really a pain in the a#%!

@kimiloh@
you may need to go for an atf change. i was having the same problem too. after an atf change, gear shift back to normal. if it was already more than 100k mileage, don't go for atf flusing cuz' it may end up damaging the worn out rubber seal inside. just an atf change will do.
and don't forget to clean up the throttle body more often!

@PowerSlide@
if your absorber is still working fine, changing the worn out absorber link may help. cost around 35 bucks / side for compatible and could be around 60 bucks for original oem proton. this way, no squeaking sound going over the bump.

Hi guys,

My 2002 waja auto, suddenly got problem with the timing.
When idle, the timing is very low, and sumtimes the engine runs very slow until it switches off. The other thing, the vibration is quite tremendous. I can feel the whole car vibrating when the timing is very low.
This thing happens out of a sudden on this week. Before this it was okie..
Anyone experiencing this b4?

Sent to workshop just now, the mechanic says the problem was on a faulty ignition coil. It makes one of the spark plug unusable. That explains the problem..

maybe you have heavy feet? or you always stuck in jams? or you have dirty air filter? or you never cleaned your throttle body? or tires are under-inflated? or sport-rims are too heavy? or you used thick visco engine oil? or ...

plenty of reasons smile.gif

Thanks for the reply man and this is one of the factor that shows why Malaysia have such a high accident rate.
Anyway , interested to replaced the cat-con ? I'm also more free during weekends , maybe I should give Everco a call and ask them whether they're operating during weekends ?

or you would prefer changing your extractor ? I came across one seller selling his Zenden Chrome Extracor which already wrapped in thermal wrap for Rm180. Gimme a pm and I'll give you his contact. smile.gif

Any idea how to clean the TB ? I'm a total newbie when it comes to that. blush.gif

Should change spark plug cable and spark plug if it haven't been replaced or without any record. Air Filter too if it's dirty.
In addition , you could try changing to a lower viscosity engine oil like 10w-40 and those Fuel Injector cleaner treatment aswell.

One thing you must not be missed is your tire pressure , make sure it's in the correct range else it'll consume petrol like you're having right now and Please guys, enjoy your ride! biggrin.gif

throttle body (TB) is where the air is sucked in from air filter. there is stepper motor for air cond and 1 TPS. pic like this aaa
http://www.mudah.my/Waja-throtlle-body-4273403.htm

ask you mechanic to clean la. upah RM35 only. but say like this -
"abang, bwak turun throttle body, kasik cuci. spray elok-elok la. sensor pun cuci sekali. lepas tu, sembur sikit dalam manifold". your mech should clean with carb/TB-cleaner spray. no WD-40 here. if use by your mecha, fire him kaw-kaw.

after reassemble back everything, rev the engine to 5k++, for few mins. You will smell the hangit at the back as the carbon build up coming out.

then it's better to replace your spark plug RM30~ depend on your preference. then your idle will become high if the tb was from very dirty become clean ... ask your mech to adjust to 700-800. make sure test with air-cond on-off and radiator on-off also.

bro cleaning the TB is supposed to give better accelerationr right? is a dirty TB responsible for having to crank the engine twice during cold start? cos lately the first time i crank the engine will stall. 2nd time only everything will be fine.

has anybody used the decarbonizing stuff for their engine before to remove the carbon deposits? any positive results?

I dont really feel good about the D'carbo. Although I never used it before , I read that it might cause Hydro lock , foul spark plug and foul petrol smell after they did it.
Maybe you can try out those addictive or treatment that sells in Hypermarket or accessories shop instead.

Bear in mind , Nothing beats an overhaul. smile.gif

I suggest u get mech to tune rpm slightly higher, let say 900~950rpm for idling. Btw have u change ur fuel filter? Cleaning TB only temperory solve the prob.

mine auto can go around 500km++...with few times of 6000rpm and 120-150km.... try using thinner oil like 10w40/semi-syn. (mobil,enoes,Q8..ETC).change ur air filter,sparkplugs,pump the tires around 230kpa (front) 210kpa (rear), set the aircond temperature to half as if u put full the compressor will operate most of the time......etc

i used my waja as a form of daily transport from home to office only.
weekend and balik kampung use another lousy car. hence the low yearly mileage in that waja. in fact, from last x'mas till now, it only covered around 6xxxkm. but i still have to service it according to schedule sweat.gif

Added on October 31, 2009, 2:17 pmGuys, do you experince any wet ceiling in your waja?

Heard that campro waja got water slippage into cabin problem< not sure i just overheard when cousin talking with their parent about parent waja.

I don't want to ask them so turn to here

I open a separate topic but yet it + and -, so maybe i ask direct here i can get a more certain answer.

Maybe it isolated case.

I met with someone, could be around eve of Hari Raya. He's a pensioned police. He did ask the compliance of the same mod directly to JPJ HQ and register like this mentioned Waja. He told that JPJ allowed Waja to be upgraded 1 step ahead engine cc. As example Waja 1.6l can be stepped up to 1.8l engine, and 1.8l waja can stepped up to 2.0l engine.

oh, that kind of answer the question. So, there is chance that the Waja might be the 1.8 version previously
oh wait, so, can the perdana be step up from 2.0 to 2.2? is there 2.2 anyway?

Yes , we do suggested changing the Spark Plugs , Spark Plug Cables and Air Filter.

If you're looking for Quad-core High Performance Plug Cable , I would definitely suggest you getting from another forumer called " airline " instead of NSR. If I remember correctly , NSR doesn't provide any warranty nowdays and during the old days which he's still providing warranty , the after sales service is just totally different.

I think a normal Borsh Sport Plug Cable will just do fine , go ahead and PM "airline" aswell , he's carrying all borsh products. smile.gif

For spark plug , I think most of them would suggest going for NGK and Denso Iridium which last longer and give better sparks. But I heard numerous time that unless you're changing your foul spark to Iridium , the amount you pay for is not worth the little performance gain.

Double confirm if there's any word displaying in the LCD. If there is , just replace the LED will cost you around 10 bucks in SC. As I ask in SC before , If there's nothing showing up , they said that you eventually need to change the whole meter instead of repairing the LCD. smile.gif

Hope it helps.

There is nothing showing up, pitch black..
I guess i'll just leave it and use my cd player's clock.
If repair i'm agraid lots of unwated sound will appear from the meter panel area.

This coming week i'll be making up my waja's ICE, will post some pictures once they are ready.

One more thing to ask sifu here, when i go through bumps especially the small ones, when the rear tires go over there will be some metal sound on both sides.
Any idea what's that?

has anybody used the decarbonizing stuff for their engine before to remove the carbon deposits? any positive results?

it's not giving better acceleration. it just reset back to normal, ie when you first bought your car smile.gif

I dont really feel good about the D'carbo. Although I never used it before , I read that it might cause Hydro lock , foul spark plug and foul petrol smell after they did it.
Maybe you can try out those addictive or treatment that sells in Hypermarket or accessories shop instead.

Bear in mind , Nothing beats an overhaul.  smile.gif

foul spark plug? MAYBE it do work, as it is suppose to be cleaning the carbon build up. and the smell is the petrol+carbon. we don't know for sure. anyway i don't use it as well tongue.gif

@jolipoli81@
the chances are the waja was of 4G18 without P engine tongue.gif
back then, there is a maximum 30% increased from the stock car's engine stipulated in jpj law.
provided that the brake / suspension and other important safety criteria is upgraded and pass the puspakom inspection.

prior to 2006(if am not mistaken), it was a lot more easier to upgrade but since too many accident happen involving those modded / cut and paste car, jpj has downgraded the the option. maximum upgrade for 1.6 engine is now 1.8 and no turbo! smile.gif
btw, i've seen a perdana with RB25DETT at heart, in fact, i knew someone who drive a waja 1.6 modded with 4G63T and 4 pots front but the car was modded a few years back.

@nayte@
clean throttle body does not give better acceleration, but it could eliminate the jerky ride in some way, thus provide a smoother ride....
i did the d-carbo stuff at the early of last month. but due to the testing of different fuel grade / brand. different is not
noticeable.

I have checked my fuel again.. as of the last time i pump my fuel was RM 50, now have drive for 310km..

But 1 thing strange is..
- Today I start my car to go work, it was around below 1/4.
- After I park my car, and come back after 9 hours, the fuel orange lights up already. Then I was worried if I have not enough fuel to go home.
- Half way driving for 10 minutes, it raised to 1/4 again and orange light gone.

What just happen?

Another case is that when I drive back to home, i still got 1/4 fuel, but suddenly feel no power, so didn't think much about that, probably sun hot.
- The other day I start my engine, straight go to BOTTOM = 0, and orange light up.
Some advice?

How do you guys actually consider the full tank mileage? From pumping full tank until the orange lights up?

That is usual behaviour of waja fuel meter..don't worry..
So now you need to learn to use trip meter for fuel mileage..

yeah using a tripmeter is more accurate.. normally will fill up when reach 550~600km and re-set the trip.

btw 1 question here, i'm still stick to ron97 but sometime when fill up at petronas only ron95 available. is that ok for my engine if i use 95&97 alternately? using ron95 my gearbox seem sluggish that's why i try to only use 97.

for me I don't find much difference for ron95 or ron97. maybe i'm not that heavy footed.
if there's ron92, which IINM is the min for our mitsu-waja, I would had used that to save $$$

That means it's very hard to do u-turn in a junction. Must always do 3-point turn..

There is nothing showing up, pitch black..
I guess i'll just leave it and use my cd player's clock.
If repair i'm agraid lots of unwated sound will appear from the meter panel area.

This coming week i'll be making up my waja's ICE, will post some pictures once they are ready.

One more thing to ask sifu here, when i go through bumps especially the small ones, when the rear tires go over there will be some metal sound on both sides.
Any idea what's that?
*
would like to see ur new ICE.. its better if u can find player that stering control still can fuction.. cause normally after we install new ICE, we need to forgot the fuction of the stering control.. sweat.gif

I noticed that the turning radius for Waja is very long.
That means it's very hard to do u-turn in a junction. Must always do 3-point turn..
Is dat normal guys?

I will make a big turn when doing u-turn at junction..most of time the left tyre need to exceed the white line.

You can measure like this;

1. Fill up make your tank full.
2. Reset your trip meter after refill.
3. Use till your fuel warning light on & stable. (Never goes on & off)
4. Go refill your tank to full again.
5. Capture amount RM your had refill this time.
6. Capture your trip meter KM.
7. Then divide RM & your KM sum.

Example:

Refill full tank = RM50
Trip meter = 300KM

50 divide by 300 = 0.16666666666666666667......

8. Mean your FC is RM0.16 per kilometer.


You must divide like cos the the amount of RM u refilled is the actual amount of fuel u run on KM.

Hope i make it clear. tongue.gif

bro i think you should actually take the amount of RM u pumped in point number 1 and divide the reading on the trip meter when you fill up at the gas station after your tank finishes.

swk_sam method is correct. But I think 1 point need to be added. Fill up until it 'auto-stop' for both fuelling step (step 1 & 4).


Added on November 3, 2009, 6:51 pmActually, you don't have to wait until the warning light turn on, can re-fill at any time you like.

But I thought if fill up when the warning light is on is bad for the car especially for Waja, as it will cause the fuel pump bad.

i am not quite sure about this, maybe just urban myths. it's good to always fill-up your tank anyway, when the needle is at 1/4. anyone opened their fuel-pump and verify it's because of late pumpings?

anyway for me i'll take care of the fuel-filter frequently ... at least every 30k or so.

Better refill it when light is up for 1st time to cos more accurate. Then the normal time u can even refill it when left 1/4 & compare to full tank mileage.

To get better accuracy, its always better to do smaller but more sampling and then average out the result rather than one big sample. nod.gif

I think its true since less petrol in the tank will cause more being evaporates into fumes. But at the same time, driving with a full tank is heavy... sweat.gif

Hi, I have a Waja recently. I just noticed that my service meter is around 10k+ , according to my friend, cars should be servicing every 5,000. Why mine is like over 10,000? My meter now is 103,3234, the next service meter is 104,9852.

One of the external door handles of my Waja broke a few days ago.

Anyone knows:

1. where to get replacement (coloured) and the cost,

2. where to get it fitted (without having to remove the internal door cover) and labor charge.

I am in KL (Ampang Area) and my car colour is Burgundy.

Thank you!

2. where to get it fitted (without having to remove the internal door cover) and labor charge.

I am in KL (Ampang Area) and my car colour is Burgundy.

Thank you!
*
Any spare part shop have the replacement and if not mistaken it cost RM28/pc (no paint). Over in penang I brought RM10/pc only.

depending on the engine oil type.
mineral = 5k km
semi synth = 7k km
fully synth = 10k km

btw, am comfortable with hx7. but since am no longer filling with shell, might try other brand soon... elf or redline.

Guys, needs some helps here. I have been reading the threads though there soooo many pages.

Basically I just need to know differences between Waja 1.6X, Enhanced and Waja Premium. Are they all the same or are there any features omitted between those. I know they all come with leather seats, but how about ABS, airbags, climate control..

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I am referring to early Waja with Mitsu engines.

they are all the same tongue.gif 1.6X is a badge for waja premium with enhanced features like leather seats, abs, airbag, 15" or 16" sports wheels and climate control.
standard waja 4g18p was badged as 1.6.

So in essence, they all come with all those features because I normally read that 1.6X has climate control but not too sure whether the Premium edition has it?

What's the current market price for a Premium version, 2003-2004 models? I'm looking for one quite urgently and need all those opinions and suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks, but need to know whether the all have the same features.

Here is what I found out about 1.6X, copied from Autoworld:

"...he Waja 1.6X, which is available only with automatic transmission, is distinguished by factory-fitted ABS, a driver’s airbag, leather upholstery, a semi-wood steering wheel and partially-coloured door mirrors which fold at the touch of a button. Also enhancing the feature list are cupholders in the rear armrest, a semi-automatic Proton-Air air-conditioning system and a higher-grade audio system with in-built CD-player and 6-disc CD-changer. The audio system supplied from the factory is a Clarion PX1676AA unit with the head unit having a 2-DIN module."

Is it safe to assume all those 2003 Premiums will have all of the above?

1.6X where X' stand for something Xtra'.... it was a badge for premium edition waja. the standard waja without those extra features was badged as 1.6.
2003 waja premium with roughly around 100k mileage should cost around 28k-31k while those end of 2004 with lower mileage might command a value not exceed 35k.
price may vary depending on the car's mileage, condition and our negotiation skill brows.gif

bring it for a test drive. make sure abs light isn't turn on forever tongue.gif , electronic windows working, no squeaking in cornering, car stay in straight line during braking, even tyre thread wear, engine starts on 1st try, no jerky gear change, no outstanding 'love letter' form jpj/traffic.....bla...bla...and the list goes on.

good luck icon_rolleyes.gif
