how much for KIA emblem & wheelcap from korea?
*
not sure yet. if follow their method of calculation, front and back around 120. one of the bros here did that. add the wheel caps and it goes to 227 in total (plus shipping). sweat.gif see how's the guy's reply cause wheel cap to me is a very small item. dunno can reduce shipping charge or not.

n guys, check this out... fellow SG forte owner sent their car to gurun for windscreen replacement and gave positive feedback to the staff over there. good job NK M'sia thumbup.gif

I don't know why.. it made me felt like similar scenario will surfaces when there are problem on warranty.. calling carelines.. Agent A will tell one story, Agent B will tell another story.. then SC 1 will practice this.. and SC 2 will practice that.

I knew that is not the problem of the car or probably not even is Kia's problem but the Naza problem ( which if i moved to the other brand also is under Naza )

Buying car suppose to be fun, exciting.. with something looking forward to.. but all these while is only frustration. Maybe a hint on it is not the car for me  after all.

envy those that got their 1.6 on the road.. enjoying their new partners.

well with the kind of experience that u r having only for purchasing a car, which is supposed to be giving business to these ppl, i'm worried on the after sales support even though i've gotten the car.

hmm...

the normal KIA... more of personal preference, to suit the steering wheel biggrin.gif

actually the seller will sell whatever we want, be in King Loong, Tigris, whatever, he counts on items, not design, so as long as the price is the same in ebay i don't think he bothers biggrin.gif

those problem post there all is very serious and "expensive" to repair.. is it true?
those who get car already, are those happen to ur car?

1, 2 & 4 doesn't happen (touch wood), 3, depends on personal preference. i thought we have discussed 3 for several times icon_rolleyes.gif

the car is still new, i think we take singapore's fortes as a benchmark would be better since we share the same 1.6 engine with them. and the most annoying problem there is the self destruct windscreen...

Talking about deffect ... I experience the following major problem yesterday after work and this morning  rclxub.gif

When i went in the car, closed the door and stepped on the break and pressed the start button, all the electronics were cut off. No horn, headlights, meters/LCD ... all not working, like the battery is out and the engine won't start  shocking.gif

I try to slot the remote in the slot below the start button, and it didn't work. I opened the door and closed it (seems like the eletronics came back whenever i opened and closed the door) and tried to start a few times (its like when the car doesn't have enough battery, it starts half way and die off) and finally got it started after 4 - 5 times. When my car finally started, the time and radio channels that i have set are all gone  mad.gif ... it is impossible that the battery is out cos my car is so new and i set auto headlight (the light will auto turn off when i off the engine) ... anyone experience the same problem or have any idea what went wrong?
*
2 times straight? that's a bad one!
sounds like the smart key didn't communicate / line up well with the electronics in the car.

btw i don't use the auto headlight function. tried it once, but it came on quite early. it was drizzling tat time but all other cars around me didn't switch on their head lights so eventually i turned off the lights manually smile.gif

Actually I drove some DRL enabled cars back to the States, when set to Auto.. most of the time the Headlight will be switched on even on bright sunny day. But that is DRL and I am not sure if the auto headlight function should acts like a DRL or not.

i think the DRL is different from our auto headlight, cause DRL is supposed to run during daytime laugh.gif

I thought after u sign the loan, it will be valid for 1 month only? after that need to go and resign again right?

bro 4te, despite the problems with ur car, just like to inform that the guy i'm dealing with sells mostly OEM parts so doesn't have the wheel cap u r looking for. hope ur problem can be fixed tomorrow after ur visit to the SC smile.gif

yhlee12,
I'm quite interested to join the group buy. Wud prefer King Loong or Tigriss. Wud that b OK?
*
bro devilsforte, i think i'll have to keep the group buy to those who wants the whole set of OEM parts i.e. the front n rear emblem + the 4 black wheel center caps. paiseh blush.gif

for King Loong emblem, can join phelix's list. for the silver wheel cap, 4te's list. for the black wheel caps, i can work out the price with the korean seller.

whatever naza changes when they get the car from korea, i'll change it back to OEM KIA... means the 6 items on the car exterior biggrin.gif

Went to KIA JnS SC (Sungai Pinang) first thing in the morning and i was so relief that it was just the battery connector (negative) loose that was causing the problem. The service at JnS was really good (as recommended by many in Penang) and the boss (Steven) greeted me and had a chat with Lee and I. I actually sms Steven last night around 10PM to ask about the office hour and surprisingly he called back and asked me not to jump start if the battery isn't working the next day (i noted this in the user manual as well, NEVER jump start a Forte). The service provided by JnS SC is among the best if not THE BEST in Penang  rclxms.gif

Very nice meeting you Brother Lee and your wife  biggrin.gif
