hi.

can tell me where r the air cond filter? i want to wash the filter, but cant find it..

Last time i plan to change my tire at Ipoh... I ask for V12 evo tire.. the tire shop ask me to change to V2 because they dont have V12. They say to me this V2 is better than V12...

i just start my car and move away

is it worth to fully recondition a ~18 years old proton wira? how much $$ will it cost?

It's depends how you think..why recondition a 18 years Wira will appear in your mind? but not getting a new car?
how much it cost its depends what you want to do..if for me, I want to recondition my car..at least 20k
worth it or not..depends on you..

I tot all wiras dun have cabin aircond filter?
my 1995 doesn't have one.

hahah.. i would do the same also.
last time when i request a SC to adjust my autogearbox gearshift sensitivity (want it to shift at higher rpm), and he starts telling me to i need to flush radiator, change engine oil, and also ATF too, or else, the adjustment wont work.
WTF right?

What is the advantage of adjust it? shift at higher rpm will cause higher FC?

i dun think so, mine shift up at very low rpm.. hence, the car totally no power at all. for my wira, as long as i dun shift the gear at 5k above, the fc doesnt effect much. so, before i had the adjustment, i normally drive my car by shifting from L, 2 and D.

What is the optimum setting of the shifting? let say..u press full throttle from 0, it drag until 5k rpm only shift or how many? now I can't even reach 5k rpm with D..last time yes
So gotta set it back..

optimum setting? i dunno ler.. i drive depend on feeling. i dun like sluggish feeling (when it shift up, but the car lose acceleration) when i use manual shifting, i will rev until redline 7k, then only shift up to 2 or D.

for my 4g93t manual now, i normally shift up on 2.5k till 3k rpm (depends on the load im bringing). 1.8 has very good low end torque. when driving thru bump (with braking slowing down), i can still engaged with 3rd gear, and drive on without having the engine chocking (which the rpm too low) and clutch fully engaged (some ppl tends to press some clutches to avoid engine chocking).

atf = auto transmission fluid (automatic gearbox oil)
fc = fuel consumption (how many km/litre)

sorry, i changed my post, as i got the definition by google

mine is 1.8 with siput. kekeke..
1.3 wira.. really underpower.

guys, i got problem. when climbing hill, my engine become semput. jerking a lot and looks like could die on the street any time. why? because fuel pump or we called 'pelampung' at fuel tank there? sometimes, rpm also up and down, and once a blue moon rpm stay at 2k even idling. gear also not smooth changing. really annoy me. TB already clean up. and this will occur when the car have a little fuel left, otherwise no problem at all. i google, seems like fuel filter clog. where can i find fuel filter for my wira? sry so many question on 1 paragraph.


mine is wira sedan 1.6 auto year 1995.

Today I found out another problem with my wira 1.5 Auto..when drive uphill, i press pedal deeper, the engine will have "ticking" sound and its very loud..What causing it? serious problem?

I remember I heard it before about this problem, but forgot what is it related..anyone can help?

Knocking issue?

Erm..uphill..then press pedal more..it will have "dik dik dik dik"..if i press more, it will be louder..

Yeah, that is knocking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

Actually quite common with Proton carburettor engine cars.

Mine EFI..its not carburetor..
