Oh ya...wanna ask is this statement true ?

1. First service 1K
2. Subsquent service is 10K and 20K BUT 10K and 20K service need to do EVERY 6 months time regardless you touch the mileage or not.

In short every 6 months you need to sent in for service to maintain your 5 years warranty ??

Like that if i am low usage user...in 6 month only touch 1-2K km ....still need to sent into service ? Like that waste the Rm2xx Full Sync engine oil ???

Nope..not all. Mostly the CBU unit coming from the first batch of Forte 1.6 & 2.0. Not sure the actual figure though..just a few hundreds only if i'm not mistaken. U can recognise a CBU Forte by looking at the chassis number (located at a left lower part of the front windshield). If the the chassis number starts with letter 'K' (written in white with black background), it is a CBU Forte. If the letter starts with 'P' (written in black with white background), it is a CKD unit  nod.gif

BTW guys, should I break-in my forte?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

I also have
- slight turn to the left due to alignment problem
- air noise coming from the driver area (how to isolate them?)

Don't feel vibration at 120 though, probably never reach 120 before.

i think wind noise can be reduced by install those big D small D rubber

Hey Edwin, thanks man! got my car this afternoon with a smooth procedure. Titanium Silver 1.6SX  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  I guess if any of my family or relative or even friends which wish to get a Kia you will definitely be on their call list!  thumbup.gif  I'm impress with how the way you handle each customer with different need on the accessories. For my case i drop the bodykit and topup for the RayTech security tint and again with a call to Edwin @ Motorman he settled everything for me with DaBestOne. Yup both our forumers here! tongue.gif

Okay back to the topic... mine come with synergy M5 tyres.. i thought they were atlantis. Haha having bad experience with Synergy M5...  hmm.gif
