Hi Christ, i spoke to Mr. Arul on this issue during TT and he's going to see if there's a solution to this. He said might need to take out the whole thing and check if any defect or problem. Hope he'll update in FB soon.

Cheers.

any tyre can use with nitrogen gas.

ouh! then what is the benefits? what is the suitable pressure? 32psi?

Haha bro only the subtitle wrong,
she mentioned 17" and said there are option for 15" but
wont look at nice as the 17" that she pointed

Hello, everyone. I found a forum that listed the Technical Service Bulletin and 'revealed' something might useful to us, including Forte Sedan Front & rear door Skin rattle noise. Here is the URL:

Plus, I found about Forte transmission problem occurs at after 6900miles issue here:

To those who already got their Forte, any findings yet?

(In case somebody else has posted this anywhere here, ignore my post then.)

Notice the red markings at the 30kmh and 50kmh? That's roughly the speeds where the auto box upshifts (30 for 2->3 and 50 for 3-4). However when using shift-tronic it's better to upshift from 2nd to 3rd at 40kmh and 55-60kmh for 3rd to 4th for smooth shifting yet maintaining some degree of torque. For more acceleration, upshift from 3rd to 4th at 60-70kmh...

The shiftronic doesn't allow upshifts from 2nd to 3rd if your speed is less than 30kmh or 3rd to 4th if <50kmh despite moving the stick manually. Which makes sense anyway - no point using 4th gear when you're rolling at 40kmh.

You can of course upshift at higher rpms say 3500 to 4000 or even higher. That way you get much more acceleration especially on highways but for normal urban driving smooth and steady is what you're looking for.

ruth bring u're car to me for crash course in driving shiftronic ok
but don't cry for the engine afterwards kakakakaka

hehe. my take on the hidden message... no harm putting nitrogen into ur tyres. really up to u as mentioned by the guys.

see, 110km use 300ml less fuel. one full tank, if got 440km, u'll save a bout 1 liter of fuel (shell fuel saver anyone? )

tyre pressue will go down 1.5psi in 6 months. in simple & plain calculation let's say 1 month u pump 2 full tanks. in 6 months time that's 12 liter of fuel saved. more or less the cost of ur initial 20 bucks nitrogen gas.

the hidden savings if ur tyre is less prone to oxidation - unknown but sooner or later u'll change ur tyre anyway.

to put in N2 or not.... up to u la... no big deal

by the way the tyre shop pumped 34 psi into my tyre instead of the recommended 32 psi. does it help in FC?

Wah, this is very useful... maybe can print out and show the service center here .. (i know some might not available in malaysia..)

Hi, guys... I have a query, I had a friend who is interested in booking a Forte 1.6SX, and he was told by the Naza sales rep that all the Fortes does not come with alarm as standard, is this true?

true..

Thanks for ur reply, so can I install an after-market alarm system that can be integrated with the keyless entry system?

just found out about this from my wife yesterday. she left the door open and press the alarm. no alarm went off. now wondering what to do.....

yes, u can and there is alarm available for forte (someone mentioned b4) but i not sure it will void the warranty or not..anyone already with alarm installed ?

Most probably it will void the warranty for the wiring part. So better check if there's a authorized KIA accessories centre to do all this things. I will check with my SA for the authorized KIA accessories centre.

at SC puchong...left my car here till this afternoon..hope they can solve it by the time...
for those early-birds forte owner..if u had went to SC to do alignment before early of this year...
better check again how they fix ur allignment... coz in my case, it involving the altering with camber nuts...
by today...im hopping they will changed it back to my original bolts...as promised by Mr Arul...

met another fortoz... the weird part is..he said..he never have the allignment prob...but
got issues with his aircond

anyone here is having the problem where the gear box compartment (the casing that enclosed the gear box) is making squeeking sound? Whenever my leg touch it while driving, it will make annoying sound like something is loosen up. Arghhh

For 2.0 owners, i guess non of the issues above involved since that our cars were produced on February this year. I believed all these issues already been rectified during production..hopefully

Hi Bapa"k"....u r back... wish ur problem solved..
