awesome FC you got there. let me try after 1K service later.

BTW, any idea whether the car still can drive for few more KM if the "distance to empty" is ZERO?

for the 1st service, what will the SC change us and how much for the total service? engine oil and oil filter saja?
*
Total charge RM 220 include
1) Engine oil Hyundai Oilbank 5-40 Full Sync
2) Oil Filter
3) Drain plug washer

not sure is there any item. Plus complementary car wash biggrin.gif

i thought Naza Kia only use Petronas or Shell engine oil?

Anyone know where can get the engine drop in filter, how much? I only see those reusable drop in filter in the garage sales forum but not the paper type one. Plan to bring these engine drop in filter and air cond filter go to service next time in case they ask me to change; it is much cheaper than buying from SC right

Absolutely right. Unless we use the mineral engine oil, change every 5k km then...

Sorry to hear that bro.

Lately got news that Forte has been stolen & now your case also..it seems that Forte is fast becoming a hot car to steal now. So Fortezens..please beware all the time especially when u approaching the car..make sure that your surrounding is safe enough. I always put in practice to lock the car's doors as soon as i enter the car..as a safety precaution. But sadly in your case, it happens outside of the car..so u did not have a chance to lock the car from inside & drive away for safety.

I wonder if we can install a separate immobilizer in our Forte..card type perhaps. So they (the thieves) will not be able to start the car though they already got the smartkey..need to survey at the car accessory shop for this.

Now gonna send my car to workshop... see what can i do with my door..
worst scenario replace the door... My $$$$ gone... doh.gif

In my case (as I'm sure like most cases for Forte's pull left issue), it is sort of like misalignment. Happens every time I let go of the steering wheel at any speed. the car will veer to the left. Not abruptly but easily noticeable. Other fortezens have solved this issue by doing the alignment. If that doesn't really solve the pull left issue than the chamber nut needs to be replaced. Hopefully mine won't have to go that far.

As for your 2nd question, I only collected my car yesterday.. dare not go beyond 100km/h before my 1st 1k service so no noise issue as yet. By noise, do u mean wind noise? Some fortezens do have issue with this. the windscreen is not properly sealed. One fortezen has solved her issue by applying some special glue to the affected area.


Added on July 12, 2012, 10:41 am

Thanks for the info. will do just that but i was told need to complain within three days not before mileage reach 2K. the SA must have her facts wrong then. by the way, did u have issue with the pull left? only realignment done or was the chamber nut replaced? thanks again.

if u worry the warranty will be voided then just ask them install the locktech but dont connect the wiring. I did it such way too.

If don't install the wire will be abit risky .. imagine if you forget to unlock and drive straight away.. ohmy.gif

If you have good protection (water beading), and the car is not expose overnight under the moon or acid rain etc...i think you can wash it when you think its 'dirty' - the definition is vary from ppl.

I can wash daily, 2 days once upto once a month)

Just remember you need 'regular' maintaince, wash + top up wax....if talk about detailing i can write 3 pages here haha....

When can continue my basic detailing course???
Also share some of ur history for our forte members ... rclxms.gif
