anyone replace your shock absorbers? one SC quoted me RM500++ for the front

btw guys, when I switch on my hazard lights during idling... I can feel my car trembling... but the moment I switch it off, the idling will be smooth again...

anyone experienced this before?

After drving the car for few days and i found that :-

The smell from outside very fast suck into the car. If you pass through hawker stalls or an old car in front, the smell can get into the car very fast.. can improve?

One more thing, silverstone tyre really noisy and the nvh of forte not so great.. can someone share how to improve NVH without changing the tyre?

I believe the fresh air intake mode is on (green light)..so the outdoor air (with all the smell) will seep into the cabin though the Forte aircond system come with the cabin air filter. Please choose the internal circulation mode by pressing the button manually (amber light)..the outdoor smell will be greatly reduced

Yeap, may be that's the cause.

As for the tyre noise, since you just take your cars, try to check the tyres pressure. Mine is the Kumho, and when I got my car, it was 280 on all the tyres, damn noisy. Reduce to 220, it does improved "a little", but not completely silent, I think that is the disadvantage of low profile tyres.

2.0 got cruise control. Thats the only way you can be sure its a 2.0 or 1.6 forte

Other brand tak suka?

I am wondering about the same too.. do we have aftermarket absorber and spring for Forte?

?Both sides of my head lamp crying , when will it get to dry up completely

Your car is still new right?

hahaha... only few days...
mine crying since 26 mths ago... no issue...

macam byk problem jer forte nih

Yupp..i believe so. I still remember last time, several month after Forte launching, got several SX owners having problem with their AC compressor. In fact, their AC compressor has been replaced due to malfunctioning. So the same issue might have occurred again i guess.

Also, the cooling capacity of the AC might not be at the optimal point if the refrigerant pressure & lubricant inside the system is not sufficient. So might try ask the SC to check the refrigerant pressure first before we can conclude that the compressor itself is malfunctioning. Else, in the extremely rare cases since that the Forte also got heater function, might be the heater valve is leaking or malfunctioning that might introduce hot water (car coolant) to also circulate in the AC system thus increasing the air temperature (lessen the cooling capacity). An AC expert at the SC should know on how to troubleshoot this.

I was made to understand that Forte AC compressor is a dual-clutch type which will lessen the engine burden & the electrical power needed when it kicks-in. That's why we can hardly notice when the AC compressor kicks-in coz no light is dimming, sounds is kept to minimal & even no changes in RPM (so the car wont jerk when the AC compressor starts when we drive). Though this is some good features for us, but replacing it out of the warranty might be costly. As a moral of this paragraph, please dont burden your AC compressor to the max especially for a long period by setting the temp to less than 20 deg. Set the temp to 24-26 deg might be a good move in order to prolong the AC compressor's life & it saves fuel too
