oh my goodness...lol...high FC car i bought..lol

in meter "Distance to empty"..yes..every full tank clocks up to 550km+- ..but try resetting the Trip distance whenever u pump a full tank...you will notice the reading of "distance to empty" and your "trip distance" is totally different. lol..

Hi everyone,

Got my forte 2.0 for 2 weeks already. Just want to share some issues with my forte.

1) Squeaking sound from the the clock plastic housing, instrument gauge and behind it.
sc will open your dashboard..apply grease to every join...put some foam..but still not sure can solve or not....
2) Just discovered yesterday some knocking sound from i think is the front passenger side curtain airbag.
or is it the seat belt? 
3) The interactive multimedia player sometimes doesn't want to read my usb. Sometimes come out the application.exe failure.
4) Not properly fastened passenger and driver seat. This causes the passenger seat to vibrate to the engine rev and sometimes make vibrating sound.
5) Silverstone Atlantis v7 on my car makes too much noise.

6) Wind noise from the window when doing about 100km plus.
install rubber? the big D & P thing...or soundproofing je la...

All the sifus-sifus, any idea what to do ah?

My only hope right now is to get all of them rectified during the first service.

But on the whole the car is so fun to drive.

Talking about FC is like a never ending story. Too much variables involve in our everyday driving that affects the FC. For a 13xxkg car with 17" rims, figures around 8-11L/100km is consider ok for me for a mix driving condition. There's no way the FC will be better if we always stuck in the traffic jam or being heavy footed all the way. So everyone's FC will not be the same although we drive on the same route due to many variables (factors) such as traffic conditions, speed, tyre pressure, total car weight, our right foot's mood etc...

very sad to listen getting more and more complaint on Forte

Nice info.
Tried once when "---" is displayed. Drive for another 40km++ distance with no jam and refill around 48.XX litres. So i assume when "---" starts to blink, you would have about 7 litres petrol left in your car. This is also same to my myvi where 7 litres left when empty indicator is show.

so be on the safe side, dont drive beyond 50km although a little more KM can be achieved.

i change my ori 6cd to oem hu..brought from kenny Rm1450...so far satisfy with it..u can ask soulreaver as he change to pioneer which i think better than the oem....but u need to buy additional sterling control..

The 52L is only a reference. The actual capacity is always more than that. Same like Optima K5. Specs mention 70L tank but can tekan until 82L.

After that, some other stuffs will pop again in your mind

As far as i know, the car will turn the engine off shall the key is not present in the car for a stipulated amount of time.
I have yet to test it out in the Forte 2.0 my family owns.
Perhaps I might run the test with my KOUP when I receives it tomorrow.

Will update here again.

I believe it's purposely design like that. Consider this scenario, let say u driving the car now & out of the sudden the smartkey battery kong & the car immediately cant detect the smartkey & immediately shut down the engine in the middle of the road. Very2 dangerous situation especially on high speed & this is no joke i have to say.

The whole point of the smartkey is for keyless entry & keyless engine start. We can enter & start the car without grabbing the smartkey out of our pocket/handbag or whatsoever. Anyway, without the correct smartkey (with matched immobilizer code), the car wont unlock & also wont start. Otherwise, we can simply use our smartkey to unlock/start all the Forte in this world..lol

Actually can drive until the engine is turned off. If they keep refueling, they can drive as far as they can

Which year? what model?

hello and good day,

i have problem with my temperature control knob. i don't know whether this issue has been discussed here before. so i just asked. If there was, give me the link.

The aircond button broke and i can no longer use the air conditioner temperature including heater. I have approached to the service center to request for a warranty claim. However, after 3 weeks of waiting, they come out with an answer that the part was not covered and they said that i have to replace the whole ECU at a cost of 2K plus. 

My arguments are

1. why the knob so easily broken (the material very low quality)?
2. why it has to replace the whole ECU?

Please help.

My car stinks today. Drove back from work, today sped more than usual. Got reach till 140. Reach home d, come out from car then dam smelly. Brake pad smell ah?

Bro, im owner of 2.0 as well..y ppl said 6 airbag? I calculated is 8..2 bck left n rght pillar...2 centre left n right..2 front left n right n final 2 driver sterling n pasenger dashboard..m i right?

i've just done my 40k services at Juta Ideal in Semenyih..the full cost quoted is RM1031..the Sales Person said because of higher cost of Transmission oil for 6 Speed..I skip that one and plan to replace at 50k. Is it true? the table in front quoted just 700+?

ytd i went to Naza Kia JB branch.. the offer they gave me seriously can't beat KL / Motorman what they offer.. kinda sad abt it..

any JB / Southern sales representative here?

Yeah... seriously Southern region can't beat Central region.. but i'm wondering why it's that?   

How many kilometres can run after filled with full tank of RON 97 ?
