mine different... since day 1 using RON95...
knocking heard when cold start only, once the engine hot that sounds dissapeared...
slow/high accelerator, no knocking sounds detected...
when i record that sound during cold start and show it to taipan052, he said "forte kau enjin diesel ke"...
now i change my engine oil to liqui moly, heard can reduce the rougher sound... still monitoring...

Never really noticed until I see you guys complaining about it. I feel that the noise from outside is more distinctive than the knocking sound. Really need to pay attention only can hear

Yeah, now that you mentioned it, it DOES sound like a diesel engine when you listen to it But really, mine very subtle. Been using RON95 since day 1 too. And yeah, the sound does disappear for me when I'm cruising at speeds > 40kmph

Hi guys, new owner of Forte 2.0 SX (white). Ermm.. just a question. Is there anything called MYFORTECLUB card? How to get it ah? Btw, saimatkong blog is awesome! Have been following all the way until I decided to make the purchase.

Is yours the new specs with touchscreen headunit? If yes do post some pictures and reviews.

Kindly register & log in to www.myforteclub.com..u can find it in the forum there...

eh guys..changing logo emblem wont affect warranty rite??..planning to get from sugen...

wont affect no worries

but KIA logo all the time more expensive than K logo, and K logo looks better...

Kia logo original. Better quality. My K emblem start to have paint chips already because stone hit.

i see..

K is for King Long...not Kia...King Long is another car manufacturer...

Bus manufacturer right..

yalo..lol..i wont put that on my forte..

btw, anyone using this Voltage Stabilizer??..i heard it can improve fuel efficiency and shifting response...anyone using???

would like to know how much I need to pay for the 1st service? How long should I wait? Need to change oil? dunno what is that
Kia forte SX - 980km currently

This may help you, got it sometimes ago, don't know still valid or not.

Becoz of free labour for the first 3 service, it should be around RM8x.xx if u choose mineral oil or RM23X.xx if u opt for fully syn oil

I think there are 2 different "K" Emblems here : check attached : Kia-Logo-Emblem 1 & Kia-Logo-Emblem 2

I would say Kia-Logo-Emblem 1 is more likely from the original Kia Logo "K" (check attached Kia Logo (Spectra)) but the Kia-Logo-Emblem 2 is more likely from King Long "K" Logo (check attached King Long Logo)

What do you guys say ? ? ?

any news to when the KIA K3 is going to be in Malaysia?

Thank's a lot. I wanna know, if no free labour and i choose Mineral oil, is it around RM170? Because i only ask them how much is the mineral and full syn oil, they said RM170+ and RM290.. So, i scare I get cheated.

Yupp..for fully syn oil + labour, it should be around that price...

Really thanks a lot .Do I need to wait at there to see how they service my car? I asked and they said need around 2 hours to finish.
