Feel sory for..btw, what is DTE shown?

FUEL CONSUMPTION:

hI GUYS!(WTA) I'm driving a 2.0, mine in City drive is 11.7-13l/100km.....highway about 9-10l/100km.....

my mileage now is 2.3 k plus after 1st service.... any good way to save fuel? i tried both 95 & 97 ,..... about the same full tank RM82 on Ron95, RM93 on Ron97..... both also around 440km plus +/- to empty.

btw! i've tried b4 the DTE while below 50km ,.. it'll go --- n keeps blinking till ur heart drop out even though i know i can last for bout more 50km i guess that is the only best part u'll never know wen it'll stop! if u don't feed em!


Cheers mate!

Envy sia.. I still need to wait for another week to collect my car.. WT.... Congrate ya.

when DTE become --- pls don't go beyond 30km for safe

30km? Your can must be special?

Welcome to the club !!

Most important principle in fuel-saving : FC is the most dependent on your right foot.
Your FC seems slightly high but it might still in the early stages. FC usually improves after a few more thousand kms. Generally speaking for the 2.0, highway FC should be around 7-8L/100km; whereas in stop-start city driving 11-13L/100km is expected, with the latter more common if you keep getting stuck in jams.

Try using the shiftronic mode and learn the optimum rpm for gear changes. More fun, and if you shift correctly you'll utilise the power of the engine better instead of lugging around all the weight with obvious torque losses.

I told my SA 'bout your problem, he said, even you have sign the loan document with bank, you still can transfer your car order to other dealer ( that what he said la). But just wait untill next week.

I should get my car yesterday if i follow my SA to JPJ, if then it mean i can get my car in 4 days time!

I received the 1.6 SX this morning @1030am with 48km milage, then they basuh-basuh, then went to Kia Accessories pasang body-kit " Jangan basuh kereta lagi arr atau jgn kasi kena air sebab baru pasang takut gam tak kering " on my way back~ heavy rain, hope the bodykit ok.

despite of all FS trading negative point, but heay, maybe my SA so rajin, i get my car fast!

Fortezens, just notice my Forte (6 months old) just 7 days after 5k change engine oil from Jln. Tandang Service Centre, now its leaking engine oil! The spot is around an epal size. The whole week I didnt use the car so did not notice.. anyway will make appointment next week to check what's wrong and post some updates.. hope nothing major la..

mayb mouse kacau....hehehe

I'm occasionally heavy sometimes but not tat bad la,... drive city around 70-90kmh,... i guess i should try on shifttronic.... i'm hoping for better fuel efficiency after a few more thousand KM... thanks

Didn't notice the DTE. But when the fuel is totally empty, the display just says LOW FUEL. and when trying to start without fuel, the immobiliser icon will light up.
Managed to pump in 51.8 litres of fuel..

Guys...bobby's car is a Spectra 5 ! Not Forte.

wah 51.8L! the tank max should be 52L? so the tank is totaly empty.

next time don't be mad bro maddigital...i always refuel my tank when DTE shown 70~90km

Congrats bro.... Forte hot selling siot

may i know where to find the 2.0 emblem that fitted nicely next to SX emblem eh

hi,new forte owner here,sorry about my English are not that good.

aewer:1.6 sx t.silver

Guys. I got a problem with my Forte.

Last 2 days my sister sent my Forte (because I'm busy with things, so I drove my sister's car) to Puchong's SC to have the 25k service. And on the evening, I took my Forte for a spin to check whether its a smooth driving.

To my surprise, my car jerks (minimum jerk, I dunno what caused it) for quite sometime. I thot it was my engine idle timing, but thats not the case because the RPM didnt drop when it jerks.

I give the car about 2 days (drive and pray la) to rectify the problem by itself, but nope. It still there.

I checked my car's service report, and to my surprise (again) for the past 3 services, the SC uses 3 different lubricant (Synthium 800 (cost around RM98), 3000(RM100++) and another unknown name for the first service, cost RM200+).

My questions:

1) Anyone experience this before?
2) Is it okay to use different viscosity of oil in each services? Any facts?
3) Should I bombard that SC for messing my car? This is the second time they mess with my car. (Last time it was the engine oil plug. The SC didnt tightened it, so my porch was flooded with lubricant. Went there, they replaced it, say sorry, and a set of porcelain by Petronas (u buy engine oil at Petronas, u get that free item.)

I really pissed off right now.

hi, Any Forte saleman here? i am planning to get 1.6 SX, please PM me if any special promotion for me.
