this was taken from SG Kia Club

old info pls update as ppl based on book not real part inspection to recommend

the only Denso Iriduim is IXUH22I for G4FC 1.6L Forte.
other makes not yet get as they have close match but like IXUH22 case wrong spec when you look at actual unit.

Added on October 25, 2010, 2:20 pmcalled Bosch confirmed no replacement for our model yet
*
yup, i read about the iXUH22I in sg forum too, but i found something on Bosch australia web site.

there are models compatible with G4FC engine . 1600cc.

they quoted this :

FR8DCX+ (normal use)

FR8DPX (more power i guess)

F3-4 (iridium fusion mode)

i think we need to check the plug size, coz many company quoted 19mm long plug while many ppl says 26.5mm. If the plug is too long, it may damage the engine , if we use 19mm got any problem ? the plug is still in the engine rite?

I went to Ford PJ last Saturday to test drive the Sport Fiesta, but unluckily got many people test driven it that morning. Not willing to wait longer, so i just look2 at it & took some brochures. Then, i went to VW showroom at the Old Klang Road & test drove the VW Polo 1.2TSI & VW Golf 1.4TSI instead. All i can say is that it was impressive. IMO, the just only 1.2cc turbocharged Polo can match our 2.0 Forte acceleration anytime, anyday. If looking at the 0-100km/h figure, the Polo will smoke the 2.0 Forte with relatively ease. Not to say the 1.4cc Twincharged Golf..floored the pedal & i simply stick tight to the backseat. The 7-speed dry-clutch DSG is simply marvelous..especially when using the paddle shifter in the Golf (no paddle shifter in the Polo)

good. let me explain as i'm the seller of k logo.
firstly, it's not King Long logo, king long it's china bus company (just the design might look similar as both are based on K).
the K we all wearing singaporean called it Retro K emblem, and here we call it K emblem, some might call it king long due to misleading info provided by someone last time.

the story of this K emblem is long story, it was created by Korea Kia Club member and it fits perfectly for Kia vehicles. (seems not so long afterall haha)

so it's it from KIA? no.. is it looks good for our forte? indeed~ that's why u can see many of our members changed their emblem to this retro K emblem.
if interesting please PM me. thanks.

Calculating FC according to the fuel gauge bar is inaccurate.
I've encountered times where the fuel gauge needle didn't drop at all for the first 100km, yet there were times it dropped down drastically even before I reached 100km.

Generally speaking, as long as you have been driving on highways for a reasonable time period the estimated-to-empty reading will definitely exceed 500km.

if forte breakdown within a year then you're unlucky person...
any new car of course having difficulty to find spare part at normal w/shop... perlis some more...
if u concern about spare part u need to wait at least 2-3 years... especially imported cars...
at least wait until OEM part available...

if not, why people buy ferrari here in m'sia...
when breakdown, just throw into 'terusan wan mat saman' and buy another one...???

wow...so the sub-100k forte now suddenly alleviates into a ferrari level huh...since parts are also not easily available for the ferrari which is a rare car, so should the forte be any different, right? very good & fair comparison. sometimes you people simply say the best things ever, =). so much for a fair compare. is any intelligence needed for such comparison?

i somehow agree with you that for korean car spare part, not any capalang workshop can get spare part, especially when emergency like your case.

but lets think another way, wat is the percentage of ur car breakdown on the middle of the road? i drive a proton saga for 8 years, not 1 time my car breakdown on the road. so compare to the time i enjoy driving my car, i choose to take the risk because it just not significant for such 1 off cases.
