full synthetic ATF oil like wat brand wat model?

and i think the difference is the labour charges....continental might be more expensive

i was refering to OEM Pug, not the Naza's Pug

original pug spare parts, original pug sc...

bro...all same la, now Nasim (under Naza) is the authorizes Peugeot and sole distributor of Peugeot. Naza Pug = Original Pug now...no dif

then i tot NAZA's pug is CKD 1??

Yupp..i was about to say the same...

Added on April 27, 2011, 11:31 amIMO, whether it is CKD or CBU..all parts used & manufacturing processes are surely been endorsed by the Peugeot itself. It just that the main purpose for CKDing the car is to obtain cheaper manufacturing & selling cost..right?

If my memory still serves me right, not all Pug under Nasim are CKD (ie 207, 308, 407 are CKD Pug), some of the CBU Pug models under it stable are 3008 & 5008. & as far as 308THP, 3008 & 5008 are concern, all used the same engine regardless CKD/CBU status. So in this case, it has nothing to do with the originality

but the installation is not as good as those imported units..

Not sure which Fully Syn ATF brand/model are compatible with our ATF as of right now..till then, better stick to the stock ATF.

Since that Pug also under Naza, i personally think that labour charges should be more or less the same like us.

I have a touch-up pen for Spicy Red, look for me this Sunday during Mega TT 

Just thought i'd make a quick FAQ for Forte, if you feel there's more things to add let me know, i'll revise it and add them in. Thanks:

Frequently Asked Questions About Naza/KIA Forte v1.0
Written By CyberKewl a.k.a MLBL

Q: How much does the Forte Costs?
A: The latest / current price for the Forte costs RM 78,800 for the 1.6 EX, RM 85,800 for the 1.6 SX, RM 97,800 for the 2.0 SX

Q: Which trim/version of the forte is most worth it to buy?
A: The SX version is the most bang for buck, whether you're going for the 1.6 or 2.0 SX. If you can spare the cash for the road tax cost of the 2.0, go for it (approx < RM 400). The 1.6 SX has extra goodies such as reverse camera, paddle shifters (!!), stability control programmes such as EBD, CBC, BAS, TCS (the 1.6 EX only has ABS), 6 CD changer, Electric folding mirrors, Keyless entry & start/stop engine button, full auto aircond system, Front fog lamps. On the other hand the 2.0 SX has an improved Motor Driven Power Steering, Cruise Control, Leather seats, side & curtain airbags (and of course, a 2 Litre engine!). Ultimately if you're alright with the lower spec EX which does not have the full stability control programmes and on a tight budget, its still a steal compared to many other cars in the market.
 
Q: How is the resale value of the KIA Forte? I heard Korean cars have bad resale value.
A: Now this is often debated in the forums and almost everywhere else. Firstly, the KIA Forte is the newest generation or batch of KIA cars in which KIA is trying to get rid of their bad image or perception of korean cars being cheap, unreliable, soulless, fuel guzzers and uninspiring. The resale value of the KIA forte is still being examined and determined by market forces, so it is still somewhat unclear where it stands at the moment. We'd have to wait at least 3-5 years before passing judgement on resale value. Comparing to the standard Toyota & Honda cars (lets call them T&H from now on), KIA cars in Malaysia will definitely have a much lower resale value compared to T&H.
 
However, lets put it this way, the Forte is priced at the range of Toyota Vios and Honda City but with better equipment, specification and the vehicle itself is in a higher segment compared to those two cars (Forte is a C segment car while the Vios & City are both B segment cars). With this being said, since Forte has more value for money, even with a lower resale value (should it come to that), it is still worth it right? Because you get to drive a car that has a lot more features, is more roomy and has great looks to boot! All for the same price (the 1.6 SX) as the highest spec Toyota Vios G (highest non-TRD spec)! Designed by world-renowed ex-audi designer Peter Schreyer,  this new KIA car is a force to be reckoned with!
 
Q: I've heard that Naza's after sales service is terrible/horrible, is this true?
A: If you're referring to bad Service Centres, there are some that do not give a more professional service to customers, but you can go to other service centres should the service rendered by the one that you've visited is not up to par. Two of the highly recommended service centres in the Forums are the ones in Jalan Chan Sow Lin and Selayang. Remember, you only need to service your car once every 3 - 6 months depending on the type of engine oil you choose and if going to a much further one but more professional service centre is going to give you better satisfaction, why not? After all, its only once every 3 - 6 months not every 3 - 6 days or every 3 - 6 weeks even!
 
On the other hand, if you're referring to the parts delivery for warranty, the parts may take time to arrive depending on the demand and I believe once there are more Forte's on the road, the availability of the parts should be more abundant.
 
Q: How is the Forte's Fuel Consumption? Is it good / better than say a Toyota Vios / Honda City?
A: Forte's fuel consumption is reasonable for a C segment car which weighs about 1.3 tonnes. Varies between 6L/100KM to 11L/100KM depending on driving conditions and your right leg. I am currently still on my first service on my Forte 1.6 SX FL 6 Speed and the FC ranges between 8.35L/100KM to 10L/100KM (before first service it was 10L/100KM). Road conditions are mixed at about 80% highway / 20% city with occassional spirited driving using paddle shifters. If your route consists mostly traffic jams with stop-and-go type of traffic, I believe the Forte would not give you a reasonable fuel consumption (possibly between 10L-11L/100KM). One of the reasons why the fuel consumption is not as good as Toyota Vios and Honda City is because the Vios weighs about 1075KG while the Honda City weighs about 1100 KG which is 200 Kilos lighter than the Forte. That being said, with the car weighing at 1.3 tonnes, it helps in ensuring the stability of the car during cornering and also helps during accidents. Which is why the Forte was awarded by the Insurance Institute For  Highway Safety (IIHS) as the "Top Safety Pick" for 2010. Honestly speaking, if you are into good fuel consumption but just want an everyday car to drive from point A to point B, just get a Toyota Vios. Its boring, it has good fuel efficiency, simple, nothing to shout about. But if you're looking for a really great car, look no further. Don't dwell too much on the fuel consumption and you will be rewarded with an amazing drive and a safe car to take you and your family all the way to your destination.
 
Q: How many years is the warranty on the Forte?
A: The forte comes with a 5 years unlimited mileage warranty which consists of 2 years from Naza KIA and 3 years from Allianz Insurance (do not worry, you don't have to buy your car insurance from Allianz to be entitled for the remaining 3 years of warranty).
 
Q: Are the maintenance costs for the Forte high compared to cars of similar price range?
A: Not at all. Comparing to some cars of similar price range such as the Vios & City, Forte's maintenance cost is probably the lowest among them. Also do take note that if you're planning to buy a Honda City or any Honda car for that matter, honda requires you to service your car at 3 month intervals regardless of the engine oil that you are using be it mineral or synthetic oil. This would mean higher maintenance costs. For more details and comparison with other cars, google for "Forte Maintenance Comparison Chart".
 
Q: Is the forte safe?
A: Definitely. The top of the range 2.0 SX with 2 frontal airbags and 4 side/curtain airbags, stability programmes such as ABS, EBD, CBC, BAS, TCS was awarded by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety as the "Top safety pick" for 2010. With a weight of 1.3 tonnes, the Forte is definitely a lot safer than other famous budget cars such as the Toyota Vios and Honda City.
