To sifus,
Any recommended radiator coolant ah?

Tesco, Brothers ada macam-macam and banyak murah-murah one's, any recommended brand / price range to look for?
I'm using stock radiator...

A car with nearly zero mods... hanya guna NGV... itu saje mod.

Another question,
Anyone can note out the product number on Waja Owner's Manual Booklet. It should start with PW------. I'm getting get one from proton hq I think, hope they sell it...

You can hit that speed on waja without mod? Manual or Auto?
This few days a lot of Ops in highways, streets had noticeable less white uniforms... jaga jaga...

Saw your A4 paper listing.. Need to change around the same as yours... Maintenance is killing for my 350000km car...

6 years old tyre? Wow... mine 9 months once, 11 months skidding on rain...

You should have opted for Thundergod's ECU flashing... Speed cut will be removed around that speed.

Then that day it shouldn't be 190 anymore...

160km/h on early morning 9.05am? Thats quite insane...
At night less uniforms ma...

The part time alarm installer guy solved your problem with autostart?


How about his after stop engine "krak krak krak" sound? I'm having the same issue.
Throttle body is the problem?

Btw how's the firing order of the spark plug? 3rd spark plug cable keep on popping out. Auto car die on red light + junctions + corners then COW power to turn the steering... "P" Sticker din pull out kena honk like mad.

Lol. Seems like rats have a new prospect. Mine sounded like something expanding or contracting punye sound, only audible on front outside of the car after off engine.

Well, very interested with the killerom... $$ kena tunggu lagi... Waja TURBO? Tanya steve ada masa tak...

Bapa company nak ambil balik company car, officially as bystander status until Waja balik ke tangan. Once halted his 400 000 km mission when the car on my hand, now this car going to resume his mission again. This car had enough rest...

Now i full respect not only car mileage... but also the person...

1 week travel so many places... Nanti dulu... by waja all the way or not?
If not kena edit jadi respect mileage saje...

Exam about car's projector lamp + angel + demon eyes?

Your condition about the same as mine when the car handed to me, 350k+. The car is treated like a bull or cow until i took over it.

I'm not that expert in all these, but the list that I did to the car after handed over: (before was driven by parents)
Interior
1. Wash, Vacuum, Wax. DIY, whole interior of car cleared thoroughly, took 1 whole day to complete (Cost: RM20)
2. Waterspot treatment then RainX all glasses. DIY few hours. (Cost: RM12+RM18)
3. Dashboard clean and dashboard shine. DIY Normal warm water cleaning on all dashboards, foam cleanser on seats and door fabrics, then dashboard protectant (Cost: RM18+RM2)
4. Bought a steering wheel cover and useless but high visible steering lock (RM8+RM20)
5. Identified all interior faulty parts such as cigar lighters, blown bulbs, fuses and replaced it. If in trouble looking for spare parts, get from Proton Service Centre but quite expensive. DO compare before considering Proton's.
6. Pandan leaves to get rid of cockroaches. (Active in nights, sometimes purposely stop car at roadside to hit them)
7. Ambi Pur to push down odour of cigar + sweat + a lot of other aromas since year 2003.

I seemed to be very cary about the interior... dunno why but I think interior is important as we spend the most time in contact with the car in its interior. Basically after interior is cleaned and polished the interior can easily return like new. Scratches and spots can be easily gone after dashboard shine. Tough stains all i use WD40. The only regret part is wear and tear of gear shift and steering, kept on flaking while driving. For me steering lock quite important as I parked outside for long hours on roadside during college.

Performance (A lot of repairs has been done before the car is passed down, but still problematic )
1. Changed to Mobil 1 full synthetic. Before that was Castrol magnetec semi synthetic. (RM149)
2. Flushed radiator and added coolant. Before that was using only TAP WATER... DIY 3 hours by buying radiator flush and coolant. (RM9+RM20)

About the coolant personally I felt no noticible difference after added it. My parents claimed that coolant is just waste of money, just use tap water and masa sampai tukar radiator sahaje. But conversion from castrol to mobil 1 I do felt the difference, but is not much as I'm using NGV all the time.

Other's i'll leave it to sifu's.

Mine was removed after installing NGV.
I was informed that due to higher engine operating temperature using NGV, remove the cover gives better heat dissipation, as quoted by dares also.

Another use of removing it is no need clean engine cover frequently. Those main taruk minyak enjin punya spill here and there and leave all those thumbprints on engine cover like i'm working in imigresen.

It also allow me to access my spark plugs easily. My third spark plug cable always jerk out for nothing, gotta pop in after every start to ensure wont mati enjin at corners and traffic lights.

just few cents although not really useful comments...

Idling is a real big problem, that was only few months after installation. The car can even die when change from N to D... Wth... But after went back to the installer few times then got the right idling RPM dy. Because need to achieve a balanced idling RPM to accomodate both gas and petrol settings. When use NGV, idling RPM less than 1000RPM, but when I switch back to petrol, idling is a bit more than 1000RPM. Gotta find the sweet spot so that it is high enough for NGV but low for petrol. So if I use petrol memang minum petrol macam air.

Now my parents are adjusting theirselves if the idling RPM lari. I was informed that the RPM can easily lari if still insist to press pedal on nearly empty gas tank. The car goes jerk jerk like kehabisan minyak when the gas tank is empty, then I switch to petrol and Voila, I seemed like turbo-ed the 1.6L 4G18 power.

I was also informed that if i go for a car battery change, i will need to go back to the installer and retune ECU for free. (Although now closed down dy). But few months ago after I changed the battery, what needs tuning is only adjusting the idling rpm. If not the idling would be very very bad...

Is injectors + Spark plugs? Both installer and service foreman claimed that spark plug wore out faster. I didn't ask my parents about spark plugs yet, but last time the spark plug change is like 1.5 years dy. The only problem is the 3rd spark plug cable kept on too excited and jump out only. To maintain those valves, I will sometimes use petrol to lubricate the parts, hope that it wont spoil so fast..

I just came back driving with petrol, kaki gatal gatal sikit...
For NGV power lost bit bit sure got lo. Pick up bit slow but still ok for me. I think i'm running on the mixer system after referred some websites. Mine was 4g18 engine so most probably is mixer system. But for now the RPM seems stsble, at least for few months dy...

Tumpang quote... Also interested with the workshop location...

Mine has similar problem, but not knocking sound. It's sounded like I installed a whistle on my exhaust when accelerating uphill. RPM over 2k. Engine noise is unbearable.

I only notice that these few days after a fun drive to KLIA. For the going part is ok, everything normal. But on the trip coming back, engine noise ultra loud and if sudden want boost uphill it seem like no power to pickup...

Maybe after constant revving the engine at high rpm for an hour brought the problem? Or exhaust pecah a?

Koyak? Waliao... I only 110kmh in midnight le
Just remove the screw near the exhaust tip then can see everything dy? Berapa if replace..

Yea. Trade in for a jet engine turbo, steven big eyes.
But when have a look at his car, I big eye...


all this + shhh shhh when turning the steering... and press brake got szeh szeh szeh from the air con... go through road bump in a turn will combine all these sounds together, like an haromic orchestra playing with my ICE...

Bought the badge from Proton but seemed too complicated so didn't change it yet... Pop it out like wine bottle?

I bought it ori from Proton Glenmarie parts centre. You can go to your nearest Proton SC and ask them to ship in to there for you, may take 3 days, no need to go Glenmarie.

Front badge: RM32.99 (Can choose blue gold or black silver version)
Rear badge: RM32.99 (Can choose color also, for Waja Mitsubishi version only I think)
Side badge (On rear door): RM9.64 (Waja Mitsu version only)
"WAJA" wording: RM14.96
"1.6" wording: RM8.37
"1.6X" wording: RM12.07
""CPS 1.6" wording: RM21.38
"Campro" wording: RM25.34
"Chancellor" Wording: Available but didn't ask
Passenger ciggie lighter cover: RM3-5 (Mine had snapped since the car bought)

Front badge and rear badge Brother's Kelana Jaya less than RM20, but there is no gold lining on the "sides" of the badge, and it's a lot thinner, looks bit cheapo.

Still have no idea how to change the back one, need remove the whole thing above the number plate?


Rebadge charade into waja chassis Dynamat really worked well? How about those big D and P rubber to be pasted onto the doors? Wind sound can reduce bit?


My parents kept complaining about the lousy brake. I personally felt it is quite spongy as compared to Iswara's too. I think need to ask them service brake dy.

The Waja one month anniversary at insurance workshop... Because of lousy brake

Brake lock I did experienced before on my second day to college but I think the braking distance is fairly good eventhough my brakes got lock up, 100km/h to stationary in few secs... The mini cooper in front of me (should have ABS) is very grippy, and I even managed to stop on time without bumping it. So I think "long and full braking" distance is ok, at least better than the Perdana behind me

My parents realized is spongy after driving company's Frontier, and I noticed it when driving another Iswara. Normally Waja I press brake need to press release press release, then very cengkam, but if Iswara no need. Never had brake pump prob yet. But I think i'll desak them to thoroughly check brake system after car come out, before another major accident again...

Thanks for the invitation, will have a try if have chance

Good one. Will double check.

Puspakom is seriously the last resort

Thought at spare tyre there got a steel cap that can just remove and straight use garden hose and "takung" it till bersih...

Thats what I did few years ago...

Good news, Waja will come out from workshop tomorrow... After 1 month suffering inside...

Will inspect brake system at first...
