btw what is the mileage to change timing belt? 80k or 75k? diff proton edar give me diff number.


im approaching 70k alreadi and i think i need to prepare budget for this

what about wind noise from the window
over time, your window rubber will harden and when u wind ur window up and travel at 100, u hear shuuzhhshhhh

no point doing soundproof on your doors when u can hear ur window sound louder after that

i just found out that there is a part called fuel filter.

i thought all this while fuel filter is oil filter and vice versa
until i saw someone selling oil filter and fuel filter somewhere in garage sales.

anyone changed that?
i have not changed mine since 10k man.

freaky!

btw anyone can help me?
i feel my car when i press my gas, take sometime before the car moves..like a thud then only move.....
and when i press and let go my gas during low speed, got this funny thud thud like the petrol not going in as my response.

All waja got air filter.
2005 and above models has the filter behind the glove box

2004 and below has it somewhere in the engine bay.

Btw i just changed my tires profile from 55 to 60

Omg its awesome. So much more confortable.


Changed front 195/55/15 to 195/60/16
Rear 195/55/16 to 205/60/16


Feeling so much more confortable now

i have a quick question.
recently ( 2 days ago), my rear left tire is giving some wierd nyek nyek sound whenever i drive. This sounds appear to be internally and i cant hear it from outside.


This happens whenever i drive at 20-30 and beyond. If I drive faster, it will come up when i drive on uneven roads.

Any tips? my absorber is below a year old anyway.

Could it be the bushing? my car is the 2005 version and i've never changed the front/rear bushing since getting it

Im not sure if any cables is touching the tire coz i check the tire side.
its all ok.

Just that the nyek nyek sound seems to be something internalish. i dono man. its really frustrating when ur driving and every 2 sec u can hear something nyek nyek at the back.

yup. rattish sound like.
my lower arm bar kong la like tat i suspect


that also i change not more than a year man


maybe using ciplak one.

just want to ask, the other day i pump air cond gas into my waja. But the mechanic told me the valve etc is sumbat and the temprature is high. I dono he bulsshiting me or wat.

But 3-4 days ago i realise that i can hear some wierd compressor sound on my car. When i drive or when idle, the compressor will emmit a lazy kind of sound.

So when my car accelerate, sounds like something dragging it like a low hum kinda noise


Any of you faced this problem before?

mine also running to the left.

what i did, change the steering bush ---> steering now does not vibrate. vibration starts at about 170kmh but i rarely fly that fast

steering push to the left happens still tho.
i did alignment, change tire......on a straight road, it pulls a little bit to the left....but negligble. workshop people say its normal with waja. it looses alignment fast

i dont think so it cost 170 man

proton oil onli abuot 25 bucks per bottle normally at the shops in kl


i did a total gearbox flushing which includes ( 5x 1 liter proton original atf oil and 1x4liter + 2x1liter toyota atf oil) and it cost me 230 bucks.
calculate yourself


normally its around rm 125 for 5 bottle including workmanship etc. i did the total flush coz mileage around 80k alreadi

today i asked my friend salesman from proton...i ask him if i trade my car how much i need ot take out cps version of waja

then he mention proton currently offering 3100 for waja 05 auto

so if i wnat to take out waja cps, i need to plus rm 160 only.

man it sounds like a sweet deal that im thinking off right now. is it such a wise move. i have not sat in a waja cps before. so i jus want to know from owners....is it very much better than the normal waja i have which is 05

bladi hell my waja cant start
washed it ( highly doubt a drop of water went into the engine bay )


after that i try to start, it takes forever when i turn on the ignition before i give up.


anyone has any idea what could be the reason? first time in my life my waja has become this critical until cannot start

yeap man. same problem
i changed to a taiwan brand fuel pump and total cost me 250 ringgits.
200 for the pump and 50 for workmanship.


god damn! this is unpredictable and my waja mileage is onli 81k.

mine is 2005 mitsu engine too. haih

This taiwan one seems to be abit powerful. or is it a placebo effect?
or maybe my old pump worked its ass off and now being a retard.
the name of the taiwan one is konsei or sometihng like that.


anyway, i jus hope this dont die on me in a couple of days.

it will be a waste. argh.

cant believe it

i actually changed my fuel filter some time ago at about 30-40 ringgit.

well my fuel line seems to be ok but the filter konked


so far i've driven quite hard to ipoh n back today. everything seems to be good ' touchwood'

that rim design is from the 2005 model

i believe it was from the 2004-2005 model
