Parts for the Waja

While waiting for my ECS clutch and braided hoses to reach my doorstep (3 weeks of waiting for the clutch alignment tool to be stocked, 3 days got stucked in Colongne due to Iceland's volcano eruptions and 1 day stucked in Shenzen due to bad weather and so the excuse counting up and up), my brother and I went to PH Auto yesterday to buy replacement parts for the Waja:-

- Sachs Super Touring dampers for RM370 a set
- Top mount RM110 a pair
- Tie rod end RM50 a pair
- Don brake pads RM100 a set
- Radio antenna RM35
- Bendix Dot5.1 brake fluid RM20
- Revised aircond vent RM65

We got most of the parts installed at my old mechanic place, RCT Autoworld in Wangsa Melawati. Pretty well done up as usual with these guys. Having said that, I was thinking of getting them to replace my Pocong's clutch. Might not be VAG specialist but they've had fair share in doing lots of Bimmers, Mercs, Jags and Japs, so Pocong could be another car they can do, hopefully.....

Things I like about Proton, they're cheap to maintain!

  2. The Sachs dampers I bought is direct replacement for stock dampers similar to Monroe but not short stroke ones. Initial feelings about it, it has slightly firmer damping than OE Kayaba. Honestly speaking, I'd prefer Monroe but Sachs is way more cheaper, perhaps locally made.
