Did the insulation at the pipes myself, normally i set at 23 to 24 deg c even during hot afternoon and it is cold enuf with 4 passengers inside. Checked the cabin temperature b4 and after, just 1 deg c lower.

Hi Randeron,
No experience with raytech, my previous car use 3M (sorry can't remember the grade), is decent enough, and i got warranty for 7 years, after 7 years, it really started to peel off at the front windscree, other sides still OK.

Yeap, it is tinted. as you said, 23 - 24 is sufficient.
I think there is some problem whtrader's AC. Even my 12 years old iswara (AC, all original, no more tinted, peel off) does not take 20 minutes to cool.

Hi Bro, 23 to 24 deg? How is that possible? Mine need to set 18? If not it will be hot even under normal weather.
By the way can share some pictures here of the installation.

Will try to take some photo in the weekend, currently car is not with me......is very simple only, if not mistaken, you can find some info in internet.
i) u just need to find those insulation hose (those similar in your house air con),
ii)locate the cold part of the AC pipes (u can feel with your hand after u run your aircond). Warning, do not touch directly with your hand as there are a few pipes which are hot (also, do not insulate these pipes). Just feel by putting your hands near it, or if you have those temperature gun, it is helpful. Another helpful tip is, those cold pipes will have some water condensation on it.
iii)wrap it and tie with cable tie,etc...........

There are some insulation that comes with adhesive, but it can be very messy after that.

no idea with the price of the absorbers. So fast, how long already your car?

No trembling with the hazard light on (tested last week while waiting in car). It shud not be trembling.

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.

ah.... you are right, it is on air intake mode. Thanks.
Thanks. will try that. If change tyre, it will greatly reduce the noise? any idea roughly how much tyre shop will take back silverstone < 1k km.

I think it was mentioned somewhere (LYN or MFC) regarding changing to different brand of tyre and also change to a 16inc rim (but changing rim size will void warranty for affected part). But i can't confirm. As for the trade in, it was also mentioned but I believed in depends on your negotiation skill.

other than going to A/C service shop (for those things cannot DIY), the cabin filter can be cleaned by our ownself on regular basis.

yes......u can call this number for appointment +604-2822322

[quote=blackfortetoo,May 17 2012, 05:01 PM]anyone here serviced your Forte's aircond before?

Question : When do we need to clean our air cond fins?
Tips: The arrow of our air cabin filter must face down towards the blower not up. If you do that, reduction of air flow will happen.

This ah...depends on your wallet.....can be costly to service A/C, and find a realible one.
Nvr service my forte before coz ~ 1 year. Wonder if SC can service or not?
Other my cars, normally ~ 1.5 years.


yeap, the arrow is facing down towards the holder.

From a lot of comments, it's the cable connection.....done mine myself. If send to SC, shud be able to settle fast (if it is the cable connection).
*but there are some cases due to faulty camera also.

yeah, some slight difference, my bro-in law's Vios, 5K service, cost him RM90++.

so, izputra, back from fucuk?

Ha..ha...for safety purpose, even though if manual transmission, u still need it to be in N to start or your car will go forward. You only engage gear 1 or 2 (this also if necessarily) if the clutch cable snapped or u need to push start.

Izputra, thanx for the clarification. Yes, I was referring to MT on the push start

It doesn't help for deep scratch.
I have pm you the email address of a person who is selling touch up pen. I got mine from him.

finally 100km....~.~, few Question need seek all tai low to advice...
1) after come down from the car, i can smell the plastic burning, this is normal for new forte?
- is it the smell from brakes? New brake pads may give some plastic burning smell

2) can not find auto window at driver side. it not work, once my hand take off from the button.
- only auto down, no auto up.
- press till there is a click, then it will auto down.

3) when the car locked. but the passenger still can open the door, without unlocked it... :S
- u mean when driving?
- yes, front passenger side, they can open the door without unlock, safety feature just in case of accident.

So, yours shud be PKQ?

[quote=WolfLegend,Jun 2 2012, 08:41 PM]
Thanks for answer it...Yeah...my SnowWolf is "PKQ"....how you know?hahaha

No problem, just sharing. Question 2 and 3, answers shud be correct. Question 1, just monitor and send to SC if still got burning smell, they shud be able to find the cause.

I like to stalk and kill wolves, especially white one
Just kidding, I m from Pg.

No regrets. Haha. I not gila kuasa. Can feel underpower when got passengers sit inside the car going uphill especially. Need to rev abt 2.5k (coz i still breaking in so dont dare exceed 3k) with 5 ppl in the car inclding myself.
Cabin noise - i not audiophile so it's considered quiet for me, tyre noise quite noticeable ..but i blast my audio when alone.
actually i have budget to go for 2.0 but i think about FC and driving in city, get 1.6 lo. hate to see fuel burn idling haha. like seeing $$ burning away. just my 1 cent.
so far 1.6sx FC - 9.4l/100km. about 70% city , 30 highway. Not sure considered high or not


Cabin noise - actually very quiet, just the low profile tyres are a little noisy (but I like it)

Power wise, u can feel 1.6 will be laggy compared with 2.0 (but no regret getting the 1.6, I dun like leather seats...lol)

FC - yeah, around there. But if 100%hiway, can go till 6L/km or lower.

Mine pulling left issue settled at SC without the need to add camber nut

The filter is to filter foreign materials such as sands, dust etc, not smell.
If u take out the filter, u can see a lot of sands and dust on the filter. Periodically cleaning of the filter (or you can change it frequently if you can afford) will help to give a better air flow, thus better cooling.
