Kianbeng Clutched July 26, 2009 Share July 26, 2009 Hi all, Does anyone knows how to dismantle the Wira Speedometer for repair? My brother's Wira's speedometer isn't working most of the time and the odometer (mileage) is confirmed not working. Even if that day the speedometer is working, the odometer doesn't increase already. The mechnics suggested replacing the whole speedometer S$300? But i did a quick check online and saw alot of ppl complaining about the same thing. Speedometer sometimes not working but odometer dead. But someone managed to take it apart and reassembled it and it worked. So I guess this could be because some of the parts inside is loose or fell out of place. I think I might be able to help him find a cheaper speedometer in JB but I worry this is a chronic problem and keeps coming back. Maybe all the used spare parts shops need to do is reassemble them and resell it again. I've also done a quick check in MCF but couldn't managed to search for anything. Appreciate some advise. Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreakid 6th Gear July 26, 2009 Share July 26, 2009 I got mine replaced a year ago in Malaysia. S$300?! I got it done at around RM$100++, forgotten the actual cost but it's way cheaper and it's a new one. But those with green wordings and white backings might cost slightly more. I strong encourage you to go to Malaysia to get it replaced, since it is proton homeground... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 4th Gear July 26, 2009 Share July 26, 2009 Check the cable linkin the speedometer to the gear box first. Mostly I saw in JB alot of wira changing that when speedometer not working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianbeng Clutched July 26, 2009 Author Share July 26, 2009 go msia do Forgot to add that my bro's wira is not in sg or msia. Thats why I so cham. The local mechanics there...cannot make it one lah. Skills bad + plenty of cheong parts. Original parts are about 2 times the price in JB. So sometimes I'll help him buy the parts and he'll bring over on his next trip. If it's a sg or msia car....very fast gao tim already. JB mechanics so familiar with Proton Wira right.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strong encourage you to go to Malaysia to get it replaced, since it is proton homeground... Thanks for info. Actually I want to check with a JB mechanic too. For RM100+, is that the complete speedometer (with fuel gauge, temp, RPM) ? Or just part of it? Actually to be very honest....the S$300+ I mentioned earlier was the overseas price but I convert to SGD hehee....thought I could cut short the story. sorry.... But generally for past few years I've been buying some parts from JB and send over to him. His mechanics there...cannot make it. Throttle body spoilt he suspect but as he got no stock and very expensive to import in S$1000+ equiv, he told my brother he will change the cheaper parts and see if it help. Then he changed the ignition coil + wires (don't know what brand), end up the car was worse than when it was using the old original coils. So change back. Finally we solve the problem when I went to JB to buy the throttle body for RM560. He paid S$30 equiv to install it. His car also got oil seal / gasket leak, so most likely I'll also buy the whole set here let him bring back..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianbeng Clutched July 26, 2009 Author Share July 26, 2009 Check the cable linkin the speedometer to the gear box first. Mostly I saw in JB alot of wira changing that when speedometer not working. Yes. I asked him to confirm that with the mechanic first coz last time I also had a problem with the cable on my other car (Merc). He'll check. But strange thing is...today when I drove his car (actually I just reach sg now), the speed meter was working! so it's really intermitten and I thought maybe it's not the cable problem? But even when speedmeter was working, the trip meter was not incrementing. But anyhow, if it's that cheap in msia, maybe it's ok to change both the speedometer set + cable?
