I did asked, they didn't check the price because all is under warranty, they just print out the parts claim form and just submit to management in order expedite the parts availability and instal ASAP.. she said got 30 cases in her hands which involved claimed parts warranty also haven't get the quotation and report to HQ..

No.. she didn't answered me what's the total estimated costs of my car repair.. she just say rest assured I will do it all for you at our best without any charges and be confident with our 5 years unlimited km warranty (dang !! she read my previous complaints post in v15 thread.. ???)

and Solenoid Valve thingy.. its the 1st time ever my car claimed for its warranty replacement since the production of all new generation Kia models line-up (Forte, Sorento, Sportage, K5)..

I think have to be 'cow cow' this time..
Will Go SC straight away n complain.. If they say it's normal, i'll insisit to test drive their other 2.0 until it reach my satisfaction, as advised by bro Bear..

One thing I've noticed.. before my check engine light problem appeared.. my car tends to be vibrates slightly at steering wheel when i lightly tap on accelerator during bumper to bumper crawl traffic.. after all these ECU, electronic signals and faulty Solenoid Valve repairs.. my car now all of sudden super smooth and virtually vibration free at idling and driving at any speeds.. !

acceleration is linear, torquey and brisk too.. FC improved a little bit more as per my 5k km mileage experience..

Thanks for the input bro..

This is a good one.. u got a almost perfect machine after they done it.
But im praying my car won't be second after u.. Hoping tht they can fix it after reset ECU or somewhat..
U know, the feeling to keep ur 2 weeks old car in SC for few days is like hell, man..

General announcement by Ah Bear..

If you guys think I am a very fussy and likes to complain everything not just Forte, but it's about every car.. it's because I am a very discerning driver..

Even a dude previously tembak me I got a "premium nose" of commented about all kinds of new car smells which one bad which one good..

Please don't misunderstood I don't meant Forte got bad QC and problematic car..

hahaha....sometime to resourceful will become like that

Btw, wanna ask change rear number plate bulb to WHITE/ Light Purpple Illegal ? As headlight (small light)....

when engine light ON problem appeared.. I drove my car from Cheras Leisure Mall area on the way to Setapak SC..
the fuel gauge dropped 1 bar.. minum Ribena oooo.. normally less than half bar only..

you will never know what they will say and decide.. just talk to them nicely and follow up with them closely..
priority is to get your car problem all solved.. but for your case MDPS only.. not a severe case like mine..

Hahahaha... I second tht..

Hey bear, I'm agree with you that kee hin using high end equipment for camber and toe adjustment.. Normally after my alignment from kee hin my driving confidence will level up also! Haha. Btw, who's the one helped you to do the alignment ? Ah meng or the brother ?

Ehh.. all new Lexus cars has rear cool white bulb at the number plate.. so far didn't kena saman also..
My Waja used bright white LED for rear number plate for 4 and half years oredi (2004 - 2009).. no Mata or JPJ kacau-ed me before
Small light also nope.. White halogen will..

Hmm like that good. I got a set of PIAA LED many years back....cost me almost RM100 , i think time to use now

I think it's illegal.. Coz i got a friend kena block with this story..
Polis: Encik, kenapa lampu signal and lampu plate warna ungu?
Friend: Bang, cuma suka suka tukar. Cantik mah.. Lagipun lampu semua menyala dan plate number pun jelas..
Polis: I tau, tapi ikut undang undang M'sia, lampu itu salah. SULTAN punya kereta pun lampu kuning u punya boleh ungu kah?
Friend: i betul tak tau tukar lampu itu salah tapi tolong la bang..
The rest i think all of u all know what's following...

aiyoh.. common sense could tell purple of course cannot lah.. everyone also cannot see..

so far normal white is OK.. blue confirmed cannot..

i think mine is very light purple...look alike WHITE.

I used PIAA LED too for my old Waja's number plate..
Now I dowan to spend unnecessary money for cars which I rarely could notice.. sudah insaf oredi..

Ic.. U r right.. Priority to get problem solved.
Mine not severe as u.. Mine MDPS and vibrating enine only.. I think small case or known issue to them..

Check spec edi...WHITE wor..

ermm.. anything else other than white and amber.. cannot woo..
