2003 Proton Waja 1.8 from Malaysia - Comments

Hi.

You can try to send your Waja to Mr. Ho, I discovered him in this blog too, he is good with Renault. His shop is located in Puchong. I have the same car too - but I consider myself a very lucky owner - those problems, which all our friends on this page have mentioned, I faced the same, but only happened after 6 to 7 years – I change the gear oil very often (or on time as never missed).

I do not know if I can publicly mention Mr. Ho's workshop address and contact or not? But, one thing about this mechanic – since there are not many people like him in Klang valley, obviously he is busy. Sometimes he is so busy that he cannot answer your call, or even if you want to make appointment to have your car check or diagnose, it's difficult.

Hi. My car has got a similar problem too. What did you do to fix the problem? I went to the Proton service center.. they said my car TCU/ECU was spoiled and I needed to change it. A new set is rm8370... WTH!! And they said can find a secondhand part for about rm1k plus. Currently my car still can move in reverse, but the gear never changes at all... very super risky now. Urgently need help to get the part changed as soon as possible. Tq

I have been using a Waja 1.8X 2002 model for 4 years now.

Being serviced by this very good Che Wan @ Subang Bestari. Specialist in Renault & Conti Car. Give him a call HP 019 329 0515

Have a nice day... :)

Dear all,

Can anyone share a little bit on the changing of the engine mountings? I have used my 1.8 for almost 9 years now; not much of a problem if you maintain it well (of course stick to a correct workshop).

The engine now is very noisy and vibrates during idling. Must be a mounting, because I almost forgot when my last change was. Should I change the whole 4 pieces?

Thanks.
