What gla sound?

Slow accelerate you can hear the gla gla sound.Off aircon sound disappear, I think either compressor problem or need resetting of EPU.

My condolences to the drivers as well. But could it be a car theft? I noticed the no. Plate had been removed? Sorry to say so because in my neighborhood , car theft has been a daily thing!

performance acceptable , not very superb ...

common issues for new units: dash board sound

Common issue for old unit : pedal switch

Service center you have to state where you are from basically the famous ones are Chan Sow Lin, Selayang & Puchong - for SEL area

For large vehicle don't follow so close, they don't check and notice break lights failure as easily compare to cars, further more the lights are so small compare to size of vehicle especially trailers and trucks , so guys don't follow a big vehicle so close , in fact they can't see you from the rear mirror if you are tailgating.

LIGHTS is important !!

Well, nowadays headlight's bulb are not lasting.....
And lorry's braking system are using air.... At speed of 100km/h, they only need X seconds to stop while our car need almost 2X seconds to stop....

i'm getting my new 2.0 next week.. according to my SA, the dashboard sound has been fixed for the new batch..
nt sure how true it is.. btw, how does the dash board sound like? hope i can know n check later when i got my car..

Tomorrow going test drive lo... the Koup looks tummy

guys, its been a long time since ive visited this thread.

been enduring this one issue since the first service of my forte one year ago which is the car lights flickers and the dashboard as well! the car had been sent twice to naza service and the problem is still not rectified!

feel like giving up on the flicker issue......

care to describe the car light flicker issue? first time hearing of it

Hi guys. Got a fren considering Forte on Inspira, what is Forte current interest rate? Best bank?

I saw someone sporting 2011 Optima-ish bodykits allround here in Kuching.
Quite a looker. I wonder if anyone of you had saw these b-odykits before eh?

first 10mins drive usually no problem. but after that each time i brake near a traffic light for example, the lights on the dashboard and headlights and even i try to on all the room lights, it flickers! but if in motion the flickering stops.

ive send it to SC twice they told me no problem but the issue still comes back. no idea what is causing this. tried grounding cables and voltage stabilizer but was only temporary solve.

this is a very strange issue..have the SC checked on the car battery? could be related to the battery

Looks like wire loose issues.... Which causing high resistance to supply enough power to the lights...
Adding VS or whatever usually are good to sweep the actual problem under the carpet...

@cyber,

ive ask SC to check but they say no problem. but the car only one year old. batt should be ok as i never have car start problem yet.

@kyheng: im using grounding cable and VS now but the problem still exist. how to check whether cable loose or not?

What usually wireman or acc shop do is, using the pen with a 12V to test, which I find no use most of the time. The best way is, use multimeter to test. A cheapest will do the job nicely... Or you may buy a Fluke for this also....
But then, this will be a dirty job as you need to strip the dashboard out to do measurements. That's on the dashboard issue. Keep that for last as you can test your headlights, which is easier...
Fuse burn will result to nothing, there's no such thing like what you are facing now...

hmmm... can battery issue be related as said by cyber?

Unlikely... Just for info(I may be wrong) :
alternator output 14-14.4V of power
battery 12-12.5V

You can start your car during cold(after a night), right? If yes, how can be your battery got problem?
You also said that this problem only occurs after certain time which your car engine compartment are hot enough.
hot = higher resistance, so you think of it....
If you are in Seremban, I may able to help to troubleshoot your problem...

yup no problem starting after a night.

wah seremban far bro. im in kl

hmm maybe we can meet up one day and solve this problem once and for all. that would be great!.

So, battery no problem....
Alternator... Again, is the same, either you have or don't have.....
I'll put more effort on checking the wirings.... Loose or dirty terminals on the connection points are some of the place...
