wah... ada pic?

i plugged in my ipod to the RCA inputs behind the clarion HU. RM 5 for a pair of RCA cables (then upgraded to canare cables and neutrik plugs. rm 100+ for that only )

swap with mine. i'll give u the original one back...

considering selling it?

ada kah? same size? how to describe to the towkay leh?

how much? for one piece or a set-of-three?

wish bone ada... the one holding your front wheels

not yet heard of dog bone

to be more concise, it's a filter-dryer

filters out foul smell, and dry out excess humidity

arghh.... my waja is left stranded in my office compound.

the engine suddenly died during driving on the road. all system switched off. wtf! luckily, died near my office

popped out the hood, checked what's wrong. the 30A ignition fuse burnt. replace a new one, and immediately burnt. try to use a piece of wire, smokes. damn... some serious electrical problem.

so the car is basically dead. turn the key, all blank. fark. 3 yrs+ with excellent record, and suddenly this bummer. have to wait till monday to send it to the shop and check what's wrong with the electrical

and always, with electrical, it's expensive

anyone had the same problem before? where should i start poking? replace the ignition? or some exposed wires?

the weird thing is that the alarm + central locking works fine. in fact, anything that uses the battery, but w/o the ignition key turned on, works

the batt was replaced less than a year ago.

the 100Amp fuse on the batt + lead is fine. so is the 80A batt fuse in the fuse compartment. all fuses are ok, except for the 30A fuse marked with "key and switch" logo. it keeps burning out even if replaced with a new fuse

anyone got the electrical wiring / circuit diagram for waja? mebbe need to trace and check the key ignition switch line

this is very true. most waja have this problem. the solution? adjust the plastic bracket higher that is marked in the circle

my waja oso got this problem for the 1st few months after buying. adjust itu balang problem ilang

turns out to be a faulty sensor in the GEARBOX!

wth? gearbox? and still haven't figure out which of the four sensors. There's five in the gearbox. The reverse is OK. when put in drive, all went dead. haiseh... paiseh...

ok.my waja ECU fried. then, it fried the auto gearbox sensors.

quoted cost for a new ECU is about 5k and new gb sensors about 1k

anyone can help me with the ECU? any cheaper alternative?

or should i just ditch proton ?

i need quick answers before i fell asleep

Waja 1.6A, year 2005. the ECU is MMC or SIEMENS VDO?

it's MMC ECU, but customised by PROTON with model number MR507879. a new one from Proton Parts Center is RM 5,946.++

it's essentially a 40Mhz computer with 512kb ram.

the price? god damn


rejoice to those using Campro engine as it's using SIEMENS-VDO ECU which should be less expensive

so guys, anyone can help me getting the 4g18p ECU for automatic transmission? it's an MMC ECU with serial number MR507879 printed on the top

burnt wires in the transmission harness




the culprit: the socket for the solenoid valves sensors shorted due to water accumulated in it. better be careful. keep it dry. sumbat sama silicon banyak2 next time




the burnt tranmission harness also hantam the connecting socket to the ECU




the burnt ECU



hey, it's a MMC!


total Proton brand new parts: RM 5,900 (ECU) + RM 1,100 (harness) + RM 640 (solenoid valve x 4) - exclusive of labor

my aim to get used parts: RM 400 (ECU) + RM 200 (harness). the valves have to use new ones lar....



although this is an isolated case, for me proton failed big time. but i still have faith in them with the upcoming mistubishi waja lancer

hey, thanx. gonna give him a call tomorrow morning

OK. Some important technical info for 4g18p Waja owners

Don't take it for granted. though all 4g18p waja from yr 2001 to 2005 shares the same engine and product code, the electrical wiring DIFFERS. this is so true, depending on the location of ECU and the wiring harnessess

there are 3 configurations - one with ECU in the engine bay (1st gen), one under the air-con duct (2nd gen) and one behind the glove box (3rd gen)

after my series of unfortunate electrical incidents, i came to find out (actually, EON manager explained to me) that mine is the 3rd gen 4g18p waja (2005). the wiring harnesses is nowhere the same as the previous two generations

1st and 2nd gen 4g18p has one long and thick wire harness while the 3rd gen has a "LEFT" and "RIGHT" harness. my LEFT harness, which is the transmission harness burnt out.

so, guys. lesson leanrt; anything regarding electrical is expensive to repair. very very expensive.

and earlier 4g18p WAJA varies a LOT from one another!

looks nice. where can i find it in my side of the world? is it foldable? if not, the poslaju charges are sure gonna put me off

btw, anyone knows where is the thread that sells the auto transmission gated shifter for waja? is it compatible with older 4g18p? thinking of blinging my ride

just spend rm 4,700+ to replace almost all electrical wiring in my ride. damn...


edit: found the ad in mudah.my RM600 out of budget
