from my own experience, pu bushes absorb the sound in slightly lesser way the original bushes does.
but it definitely drives and handles better than a new waja  smile.gif
handling increased due to 'solid and elastic' feel  tongue.gif .  it drives like a nimble swift sports in tight road. coupled with the 'rojak' engine and good diy sound insulation,  can't ask for more!

for stock engine and no soundproof installed, here is the best solution ;
use the original proton bushes on ; engine mounting and lower arm bushes. they are slightly superior in absorbing the tyres /engine noise.
use pu bushes on steering bush and arb bushes. you car should have this fast respond handling. (check with elton on this one).

does my friend call you on the deal?
if not, i will force him to deal with you this saturday night around sunway pyramid area. is it okay for you?

Hi, Waja newbie here. Hope you all don't mind me knocking on this thread.

I just took over my wife's Waja (year 2002, bought 2006).

1. For now the immediate problems I face is need to keep filling water into the radiator reservoir tank. By keep filling I mean every 2 days. I'm sure it's leaking but not sure whether the tank itself or the water pump.

2. The right side headlamp is broken, needs to change. I saw one priced at RM150 on Mudah. Is this the right price?

3. 12V plug socket is not working, although I'm sure I just need to change the fuse for this one.

4. The sound from the engine is also quite loud. I also hear some rattling on the left side of the engine whenever I push the engine (for example to overtake). This rattling is a short one, it will be gone once the car rev past 2500/3000rpm onwards.

5. The random squeaks here and there, probably from the aircond belt...

6. Whenever I steer hard right or left, I can hear some sound also and the feel is not so smooth. Is this a drive shaft problem?



Apart from these, I am planning to upgrade the following:

a. K&N filtercharger
b. Silicone Wipers - done as of today
c. Philips H4 x-treme
d. Michelin or another good set of tires if you would recommend.

Also, is there anything I should know to fix/rectify with using a Waja? I read from Autoworld about the famous fuel pump problem. Anyone kena this before?


Have a nice day, and thanks in advance smile.gif

I think this is because of the cover under the exhaust manifold bent (the one at the bottom like a L shape). Last time I also have this sound, since I remove it, no sound after that..

Thanks King_C, will look into that. Trying to rectify what I can first before send to my workshop.

Took over this car after my Charade Espri engine burned on me... Although that's another long story altogether.

Sure thing bro, but need to do budget first.

Just arrived in Kota Bharu half an hour ago (from Shah Alam). I tested the car to the most comfortable-fast speed I can get which is approximately 140 km/h. Anything above that and I feel quite rocking like a boat (similar feel when I was driving my first generation Saga). The top speed that I had today is 160 km/j. Overall I really love the feel when Campro kicks in, engine roars and the car just goes forward. Can't wait for my cheque to come in so I can upgrade this big fella (big compared to my previous car Charade Espri).

Have a good morning and a nice day guys, now I'm off to rest and later retrieve my Espri. Drive safe!

since am not around, my sister could not sourced the sound but she told me it was from the power steering area.

It may be 1.0 but it's a very nice 1.0 bro. Loved the pickup speed and I think 1.0 was enough for its size. The only time I felt it's lacking power is when I drive over 130 km/h or when climbing up hill. Trust me the stock engine is very competitive, either that or the driver is smile.gif Never upgraded cause looking for the engine to die on its own Initial D style. hahaha, now it's about the right time to convert but overall the age of the car makes sourcing for spare parts hard and expensive. So I repaired the car and I think I'm going to let my sister inherit that car.

I wonder if this is the belt squeak whirl sound? I get this too once in a while... Even while driving

Is it normal for the steering to be quite heavy when you steer it while the car is stationary (as in trying to get out of parking)...Sorry, very newbie to power steering here smile.gif
