Bros where do you get the replacement windscreen done - i checked with SA - he said the price was around RM2k+ with insurance premium around RM375. Can anyone confirm?

I been asking the price from careline last time before I insured my windscreen, is about 600+.
and my insured for all the windows is RM510
must break my windscreen to replace 1 before end of this year... now already kena a small stone

My SA told me the exact same thing...... odd now ppl reporting diff pricing

care the careline better. Previously my SA keep giving different price too
careline will told you how much u need to insured too

The Pug's autobox is really annoying. I'm doing what you have done; leaving it in D most of the time... only using shifttronic to "force" upshifts when the autobox is reluctant to (and stays at 3K rpm). Unlike Forte where I'm using shifttronic 100% of the time. The most annoying thing is the box's insistence to downshift to 3rd gear once the speed is below 60kmh... which means you'll be driving at high rpms most of the time in busy city roads. You can't even force the box to stay at 4th in shifttronic mode. It WILL downshift.

Wind noise is actually better than the Forte. Engine noise is kept to a minimum although I think Peugeot deliberately allowed the turbocharger whirl noise to enter the cabin for more ummph. This is something that the Theta II cannot offer.

And the end of the day, I think the Forte is easier to live with although the thrill of driving a turbocharged car is a satisfying experience. Come on Kia, throw in a turbocharger for the Koup.

i dont know where to get it done cause i havent even gotten my car =P maybe this week. But i bought an insurance premium from my SA insured the Windscreen for 2k for the cost of RM300

OK - is the insurance company Kurnia - I believe NZ forced for 1st year insurance to buy from them...

AFAIK, the rain sensor is not in the windscreen. It is attached to the windscreen. When replacing the broken windscreen, it could be used back, if the sensor is not damaged. I'd read somewhere, someone already done it 3 times (replacing the windscreen and use back the sensor in all occasions). Not on 308 though. Btw. the windscreen for 308 is expensive, around 6K. Insuring 6K will cost you RM900 per year.

haha, no video lah.
anyway, I may come out with more complete DIY photos soon.

Insulflex ? How does it look like?
The insulation I used is soft & light material in black color... feel like sponge.

aiya ... mine 2.5k for RM375!!!!!

The windscreen insurance is optional.
ya mine is kurnia but could have been allianz maybe same also. Because I included my brothers name as second driver and he is below 25 need to pay additional RM190, but kurnia is free for first year.

Windscreen..wahhh..why so expensive...
i heard our member change his WS around RM800..
if not mistaken at SC around klang valley ..

windscreen insurance will cost rm15 per rm100 insured. up to u how much u wanna buy.

cheers!

p/s : still waiting till neck long long for my 2.0

Yaa..that should be Insulflex tube. I only need to know the appropriate tubing diameter for our Forte cooling pipe.

I insured for 1.5K, called Careline to check on the ws price is about RM1.3++.
My 2 cents: Please call Careline to confirm the WS price.

Bro,

What rain sensor are you referring to? Does Forte comes with rain sensor?

he's referring to other car makes i believe...

This is the one..
The pipe diameter should be 3/4 inch. Just tell the shop 3/4 inch will do.

Thanks bro miet...

Hehe. This is cool. Will try this as well since it's cheap and easy. Thanks!

Buuuuuut my car still haven't registered~
