bro , can u tell me more about this, maybe this is what i experienced while driving in teh rain that day , few drops of water driped on my accelerator pedal while i was driving. Where do i go to cover my tranny controller and where is it located bro.ADDITIONALY: All waja comes with a design flaw where the air cond blower area will condensate water when is too cold and then it will drip the condensates to your auto trans controller unit. If you drive a waja, is best you cover up that tranny controller.
Tranny controller means the transmission controller unit bro. When the water drips to TCU, electronic parts.. U know lar....thx guys for ur replies.
wch5274 > the noise when driving in the rain is much louder then my previous car a proton wira, this is as loud as driving with my window slightly open, i am very sure there is a hole somewhere. Proton said its most probably the main wiring harness box is open and not closed properly.
jeffayn> ok, so the noise from the wheel while steering could be the front stabilizer bar. il ask proton to check it and il update it.
well bro, so the centre bullet will not cause power lag so i guess i should service my car then.
yea the sound near the wheel is damn loud , like yesterday while driving in the rain , i could practically hear my car tyres splashing through the water on the road. Very weird la, i hope its nothing major

THe TCU is not the level lar... It's a computer box with electronic chips inside...isit the gear console ah , where u shift from "P" to "D" and all , well okies , did not noe water can get to that. Well guys anyone knows that isit posible to get the new waja cps meter for my current waja 4g18 , i like the white color meter compared to my dark red 1.

juz my 2cents....if wrong info don blame me ya....cheerzWell guys i just got a 2nd proton waja year 2005 using the 4G18 and auto transmission , enhanced specs with 2 srs airbags. well the car has some problems which i hope to get some reviews from u guys out there.
1. There is a weird noise when ever i turn left or right (sharp turns). I took the car to Proton and they checked the car and said it could be suspension or anti roll-bar bushings that have worn out, but they need to open and check to confirm.
its due to the coil spring rubbing against the absorber strut. try to spray some lube like wd40 and if the problem still there, remove the coil spring and wrap with some thin rubber like tube etc..it will goes off. mine happened b4 and the svc centre did that.
2. They also spotted that the cross-member bar is touching the gearbox which is most probably due to a hard hit on a bump. Proton said they will try to pull it back out or worst case have to replace that bar. (its right under the car supporting the engine, positioned under the gearbox)
its a metal, can remove it and bend it back to normal....use hammer..no need to replace it, quite costly.
3.I feel a lag of power when i drive outstation , mainly on highways. When Proton was checking my car i noticed a blue color center bullet which is definetly not original proton part. The car also needs a service, could that be the issue.
the centre bullet in fact give u more power, direct the air out to exhaust thus shorten the air distance. try check yr brake, all 4 disc brake, worry the brake might jammed so when at high speed it lagg. another problem is as mentioned from some taikors here, service, change plug, engine oil, auto oil, auto filter and not forgetting to tune it....proton svc ctr know how to do it. air filter need to be change too.
4.Once was driving in the rain , very heavy rain and 3-5 drops of water just dripped on my accelerator pedal, also when ever i drive in the rain i can practically here the water noise splashing with my tyres . Proton said it could be a wiring harness box that is loose or open. Must check to confirm.
look underneath the steering and see there is a few holes that enable wire harness to poss thru it and see if the rubber seal is loosen or missing, get it replace...diy will do
2nd thing which i hope its not la.....car met accident b4 and the dashboard not properly fitted and the chassis bent therefore rubber seal cant fit properly.
well guys i am going to send the car to proton for service and all and they will check all this problems but i would like to know if u guys could giv me any pointers on wad tis problems could be.
go to mutiara damansara proton svc or sect 13 pj near dutch lady svc ctr, they care more capable in troubleshooting it. pm me if u need their contacts.....
i also am not happy with my wipers , wad is the size of waja wipers...get OEM wiper...bout rm58 one set.
thx in advance guys
very nearby that place...its actually at jln 13/6...u go to dutch lady and u will see the turning....only 1 proton service centre there...look for mr Tang...tell him lau ask to come....he will assist u and he is good in trobleshooting less noticeable defects...i mean those defects many other technician think its normal...ok bro , well proton certified its not an accident car, they told me its most probably the wiring harness taht cause the water to leak, well guys about the noise , i notice even when the car stationary and i turn the steering got noise. hmmm so worried la , abt the poton service centre in pj , where isit exactly , i study at Utar behind jaya 33, thx for ur help bro
