omg... this is a bit worrying. i thought ours ok dy after wat happened in singapore.
any idea whether our bros in sg still have such problem? long time never visit their forum.

most of the time my car's in basement carpark. at home also got a bit of shade. but from what i read last time in sg forum, those who park indoor also will kena.

i think it's time to get WS insurance dy... myself included

hmm... not my cup of teh

wow bro u r back... should organize mini TT to meet up with jb bros

if u have those 'adapter' type of screw drivers, take the bit with phillips head, hold it with a plier, then that is good enough to loosen the screw dy. that's how the ppl at brothers' did when they install mine

i'm thinking whether to change to semi-syn oil when i send the car for 2nd service. not really heavy user of the car. quite hard to reach 10k km in 6 months

is semi-syn package available? roughly how much?

thanks bro. that's 100 bucks cheaper than fully syn!
might consider that for my 10k service.

so the semi-syn can tahan 7 to 8k?

just came back from puchong SC. according to the guys there semi-syn is for 3 months only. mileage wise is 5k km. a bit contrast to what I know previously but i guess i will just stick to fully syn oil. no increase in price wor. now still 22x for fully syn oil service.

the service manager, Mr. Arul did mention that he heard the rattling noise. this noise is coming from the front passenger side door but his team were not able to nail down the problem even after they open up the door panel to check. the noise can only be heard when you r on very rough surface (probably u can hear the noise in those area with paver tiles as well).

i KIV the problem 1st. until another forte with similar issue shows up for him to check further

got it mid of dec last year...

hahhaa... not tyre sound la. it's plastic vibrating against something... last time sent to jln tandang but couldn't reproduce the sound to them... today the puchong SC guys test themselves.

sorry to hear about the case. but welcome bro... u can join the facebook group and myforte portal as well

er... sensor for the headlight is at the dashboard la. the black dome thingy. no?

if u have those 'adapter' type of screw drivers, take the bit with phillips head, hold it with a plier to loosen the screw. should be half an hour job or less.

bro... the car delivery nightmare is a never ending story... probably till the day production in gurun starts but nobody has any clue when it's gonna happen so as of now all the troubles r with gamen.

if u r not in a hurry, then wait lo. otherwise no harm for u to explore other options... besides i'm sure u have considered lots of things b4 deciding to buy this car. it's a matter of months to wait for the car that u will drive for years to come. just ask bro izputra and some other 2.0 for their classic stories.

i wanted to look for such a screwdriver also... but the closest thing i can find / think of is an allen key (hex key).
and need to find the extra phillips head bit that can be fitted into they key, so in the end, bayar 10 ringgit let other ppl do the job for me

tat's the SA issue... they all wanna close sales and to do tat, simply giving empty promises.
i thought in 2010 careline already mention waiting period... even though it's not consistent but it's something like 2 - 4 months kinda stuff.

hmmm... i still believe that production line in gurun is not quite ready to roll out the car so all new cars to be delivered these 2 months (if they got car to deliver la) will still be... u know wat i mean anyone got insider news? got near to the gurun plant?

we had this discussion back then... and point of reference was the peugeot 308. assembled in malaysia with solid build quality.

yeah... wat an idiot... i'll be darn too

er.... bro, can explain more? don't really understand. need to add that tape or what?

7l/100km? it depends on traffic condition... 7l/100km can happen if traffic is smooth and if u keep travellin around 70 to 80km/h and above.
otherwise 10 to 12l/100km is a more realistic figure for city driving with all the traffic lights and jams.

tat's for a 1.6sx. ex should save a bit more because of the smaller tyre

i consider myself lucky cause i got rid of my old car but needed to wait for about 2 weeks only to get my 1.6...
tat's was end of last year... imagine until today the same thing is repeating itself.

so sad.

well rule of thumb expect 10% depreciation every year... if the car is holding up well like what bro taipan said
last time 2nd hand value of korean cars is lousy because of the high FC... n cost of maintenance... if forte can overcome this problem then 2nd hand value shouldn't be an issue anymore. FC... so far so good... considering the size, and also the fact that it's wearing 17-inch tyres for the sx.

actually our kumho tyres are quite cheap... compared to other brands... still thinking whether should stick to kumho or change to others next time... the difference is easily RM 500 per set.

bro, u did urs already?
if only do the wheel arch one, 380 right?

if it's confirmed, and available to all previous buyers, i'll definitely go for it.
