First service 1000KM, Second service at next 5000KM (1000+5000 on ODO).
Subsequence service subject to your driving and what kind of oil being used.

Maintenance schedule is a guideline, things might gone exhaust sooner, you might need to replace them sooner.

Only 1.8 stock plug is NGK iridium as per 2012 made. Unsure they changed anything for 2013.

I just had a look on the schedule. Plugs alone cost RM200+, you might want to check again. Here's the few items that only apply at this 40k service: Coolant, Spark Plug, Pollen Filter & ATF.

Thanks, will check again.

anyway, any idea whether can add/install below items....

1) retractable side mirror, new car don't have
2) center lock when hit brake or like mine honda once reach 20km will lock automatically.
3) center lock buzzer
sad.gif vmad.gif


saw some brother mentioned can install retractable side mirror but location at kl.
will above installation void the warranty?

many thanks

1) Speedo Auto have it. You can buy the parts and get your own workshop install, or get install by Speedo. http://www.speedoauto.com/shop/product.php?id_product=330
I'm using this, one of the early mod I did for my HE.
2 & 3) Can be added by after market alarm system.

For 2012 spec, all 1.8 & 1.6 have no tweeter. 2013 should be the same, but pending confirmation.

2) the 3rd party alarm system will add brake lock function. Not sure if they can perform lock by distance.

If you meant stock system brake lock, only if we could modify the ECU. Local SC GDS cannot perform such mod. Probably those from Korea can. Or you can just add the brake lock module.


3) the alarm will beep when armed or disarmed (lock/ unlock door). Again, not sure if you can mod it to beep only with a buzzer, without adding alarm system. Haven't seen any owner did it.

Any mod you do they can use it as an excuse as warranty void. That include the buzzer. You still have to tap signal and power from existing harness. Knowing most workshop, they will just splice existing harness.

The auto fold side mirror upgrade from Speedo only come with the bottom part of the side mirror where the motor is. So the installation involve rip apart your existing mirror and install the motor bottom cover. The mirror, signal repeater, painted top cover will remain. I've organized group buy in the past, it was RM790 include installation. RM850 is exclude installation.

You can choose if you want to fold/unfold when lock/unlock or start/stop engine. A button will be added for manual overwrite.

guys need some detail about the FC here.
apparently i just got my 1.8 elantra and it just hit 1k odo and not yet service.
however, im experiencing super bad fuel consumption where by my first tank im getting only 330km on rm80 or 7.85km/l while the second tank getting only rm350 on same fuel or 8.3km/l.
i believe the improvement is due to the slower driving style where i try to kepp the eco light on while on the first tank, im actually flooring it whenever probable.

what is your fc? mind to share? thanks!

i also got another issue regarding the alarm system. sometimes when i lock the car, the siren will sound. i have to open all the doors and close it harder then only can lock. when the siren sound, there isno indicator for opened door on the meter.

as i am a yim chim person when it comes to nvh, i did hear a faint tik tak sound emitting from the rear right door panel for unknown reason. but this one maybe caused by tinting shop sweat.gif

RM850 is the price you get now cash and carry from Speedo. No installation.
RM790 is the groupbuy price include installation.

My friend is getting a very high fuel consumption. 11.4l/100km 100% city.
So I just wonder would that make any difference as he haven't go for the 1st service yet.

guys need some detail about the FC here.
apparently i just got my 1.8 elantra and it just hit 1k odo and not yet service.
however, im experiencing super bad fuel consumption where by my first tank im getting only 330km on rm80 or 7.85km/l while the second tank getting only rm350 on same fuel or 8.3km/l.
i believe the improvement is due to the slower driving style where i try to kepp the eco light on while on the first tank, im actually flooring it whenever probable.

what is your fc? mind to share? thanks!

i also got another issue regarding the alarm system. sometimes when i lock the car, the siren will sound. i have to open all the doors and close it harder then only can lock. when the siren sound, there isno indicator for opened door on the meter.

as i am a yim chim person when it comes to nvh, i did hear a faint tik tak sound emitting from the rear right door panel for unknown reason. but this one maybe caused by tinting shop sweat.gif

u call that high? mine 7.8km/l leh!
i guess bad fuel consumption is still a synonym with korean car

I think quite a few of owners did mentioned in here before in the FC.
You could join the FB group for more in depth info.

Anyway, I'm driving a 1.6 n had been flooring it after my 15,000km service (now 23,+++).
My full tank is $78-80 average n able to clock min 420-450 with heavy jam every morning.
Trust me when I say heavy where I have to endure 1 to 1-1/2 hour traffic sometimes (normal day 30mins drive)

Your FC might improve a lil but after 5000 service.
How much does your ODO shows on a full tank?
I guess min 510km n above or else you can opt to reset your ECU.

Do you mind sharing what car you're driving previously? smile.gif

So, any recommendation on the Tweeter?
*
You can add after market tweeters that comes together with the speaker when you upgrade.
Unless you don't decide to upgrade your stock speaker n just wanna add the tweeter into the current "spot" then there are a few shops which I heard r doing this. One in batu caves n the other in pudu. Exact place don't really remember but the price I think around 150 or so.

ODO showing 555km but u can only clock less than 400km is a bit weird.

Cause different drivers do have different driving habit as you know.

Don't know if your right might be quite heavy sometimes?! tongue.gif

Maybe your ecu still learning your driving habit.

Give it a few more round. Should be better. biggrin.gif

Hyundai Elantra 1.8 2013 creamy white

Love the car from day 1. Current mileage 300km.

I went to Avantegarde to install rear light. Ah Bao said cannot be done as my car is 2013 spec. what ??????. He said the bulp is already there. but when i on the light, the middle rear light never came up. then i remember i read in ver 7 the difference between 2012 spec & 2013 spec. REAR FOG LIGHT!!!!!!!!!
this really irritates me because to on the light there is another switch.(its a fog light). to me its suppose to be rear light.fine. nevermind the extra switch for me to on it. but what makes me more frustrated the foglight is more bright then the rear light. can u imagine that?

so how to repair this?how to make one switch on all rear light AND most important that bulp need to change to the same bulp as other rear light.

do you know where i can do this? Ah Bao can't do it.

need help here.

others are fine.

auto rain sensor not to its par. a few drops of rain still it can not detect. need to do it manually. so no auto for me.

at this moment my average fuel consumption was down from 12.8 l/km to 9.8 l/km this morning(after 300km run in)

oh I also bought the Potent Booster. still at normal and eco mode. after 1st service will go for race mode!

previous i own a honda civic 99 B18C enjin. the difference????

1. more spacious
2. sun roof
3. automatic tranny(no more pain for my left leg)
4. comfort
5. cold acc

my friends compliment the car is spacious AND they love the sunroof. this 2 hard to get from old or new cars.

so thats it.

hope you could help my dilemma for rear light for 2013 spec. I bet the others will have the same feeling "disappointed".

[/qu

yes its for safety but most cars have front fog lights. if u stayed in genting or cameroan highlands yes you need fog light because its foggy all the time. down here not so much....if it rains heavily just slow the car. red light is enough for other people to see if to compare white light for front. so basically rear fog lights is not so important here.

just i don't know why Hyundai here different from hyundai USA. they have complete tail light.

for exchange purpose we need to find someone that can do it. i have ask Ah Bao and he simply say he cannot do it. so anybody????

Yup. But we don't use Duron. We use SupremeSync which is all SL unless ppl still selling old stocks which I really doubt. Other oil claimed SN unless come with starburst logo I won't believe.
U can check online through APi website to clarify n go through their data sheet if you wanna know in details which I did.

For me 5W-30 is alright for new car smile.gif

Another misconception bro.

Actually oversea there's no "semi" sync.
It's either synthetic or mineral.
It's local manufacturers that come out with this semi sync stuff.

The one I'm using is Sync oil.
The bottle is black in color and it comes with 1L/bottle.

For 1.8 u need 4 bottles.
1.6 needs only 3 bottles plus a bit more.

PS: Duron is diesel only smile.gif

Actually oversea there's no "semi" sync.
It's either synthetic or mineral.
It's local manufacturers that come out with this semi sync stuff.

The one I'm using is Sync oil.
The bottle is black in color and it comes with 1L/bottle.

For 1.8 u need 4 bottles.
1.6 needs only 3 bottles plus a bit more.

Hyundai Elantra 1.8 2013 creamy white

Love the car from day 1. Current mileage 300km.

I went to Avantegarde to install rear light. Ah Bao said cannot be done as my car is 2013 spec. what ??????. He said the bulp is already there. but when i on the light, the middle rear light never came up. then i remember i read in ver 7 the difference between 2012 spec & 2013 spec. REAR FOG LIGHT!!!!!!!!!
this really irritates me because to on the light there is another switch.(its a fog light). to me its suppose to be rear light.fine. nevermind the extra switch for me to on it. but what makes me more frustrated the foglight is more bright then the rear light. can u imagine that?

so how to repair this?how to make one switch on all rear light AND most important that bulp need to change to the same bulp as other rear light.

do you know where i can do this? Ah Bao can't do it.

need help here.

others are fine.

auto rain sensor not to its par. a few drops of rain still it can not detect. need to do it manually. so no auto for me.

at this moment my average fuel consumption was down from 12.8 l/km to 9.8 l/km this morning(after 300km run in)

oh I also bought the Potent Booster. still at normal and eco mode. after 1st service will go for race mode!

previous i own a honda civic 99 B18C enjin. the difference????

1. more spacious
2. sun roof
3. automatic tranny(no more pain for my left leg)
4. comfort
5. cold acc

my friends compliment the car is spacious AND they love the sunroof. this 2 hard to get from old or new cars.

so thats it.

hope you could help my dilemma for rear light for 2013 spec. I bet the others will have the same feeling "disappointed".

actually this issue had been debated even before the car was launched.

If u asked me it's not. but there are people who had bad FC.

I think it boils down to how you drive end of the day. biggrin.gif

The car is design to be for comfort so the suspension is very soft.

Most of us owners opted to install Ultra Racing Anti-Roll bar to eliminate this issue smile.gif

Could be bad wiring as well. But typically 1.8 have more complain on radio reception compare to 1.6.

One of the reason for the bouncing issue is that our absorber is acting on its own individual self.

So by installing the bar it helps to recover the bouncing sensation faster.

The bar is the most worth installed mod to date n one of the first most of us did.

like my fren he bought honda freed and the car has no spare tyre. honda just equip with tyre sealant kit. honda have done it. so do we right??? but like him he have no choice maybe the car has no space to put spare.

another issue if use this tyre sealant, can use back the tyre but need to clean it(take out the foam). this im not too sure all tyre shop can do or not.

anybody has this experience????

I've look tru some of those sealant, some are water based, so can washed away with water. Some require special chemical to melt them. But I have no experience using one. Maybe can ask tyre shop comment.

yup. brand holts is water based. jusco sell it at rm35-rm40 per can. yes wash away with water. i think any tyre shop can do it but of course they will charge. recently i have ask the owner from hyundai service and he says tyre spare is more better.

but if Honda and other cars already use it , for sure they have studied this right??? in my opinion the only risk of this sealant is that they do exspired. not mistaken lifespan of 5 years only. the spare tyre of course after 10 yrs can still use it.

only to those who dare to do it.

save some kilo's and have better FC.

and to think the hassle of changing tyre and time consuming, tyre sealant is very handy especially to the girls...

so who dare not to use spare tyre????anyone????? brows.gif

For your case I'm not sure it's the same as mine or not.
Mine only happens on cold start with air cond on n when u accelerate.
Identify its the tension of the belt n tightened it twice now.

i've just read the user manual for elantra(who read manuals nowadays????). in there they guide what to do during run in the car(1000km). so this my SA never told me anything. but i knew from my previous car after overhaul run in dont exceed 4k rpm. in the manual not just that. also have to
1. keep idle not more than 3 minutes
2. avoid constant speed at all time. example at hway 110kmh for a while and slow down. cannot 110 kmh all the way.
3. no towing untill 2000km

did all of you did this during run in?honestly?

For me I didn't really follow. Cars nowadays don't really need run in or in particular those mentioned.
Well at least not to that extent for me.
I won't go up Genting after getting my car of course.
But I did remembered someone's during my time did that lolx thumbup.gif

Very wide range bro. Depending on your budget end of the day

Members installed focal & nakamichi to infinity, German maestro or domination.

Depends how itchy is your ear and how deep is our wallet smile.gif

Below 1K can get decent speakers n tweeters like nakamichi. Or entry level German Maestro.

Check around town for audio shop like EA autoworks that has good rep for car accessories smile.gif

i think the original HU only works with Iphone only. android can use bluetooth to make and recieve calls. thats all for android phone. if you want to fully utilised android need to change HU unit. worth from rm1800 to rm2000.

play mp3 need usb.

Just asking any added those treatment oil and etc for their 1st service for better performance in Hyundai service centre? Is it necessary because it will bring up to the price RM230++ for 1st service. If not is only RM150 for 1st service.

its up to you. if you take it, it will make more better to your engine. so it adds more protection to your engine. i think my opinion if the centers offering this kind of products i'm sure its worth it. because some places i mean some hyundai centers are afraid to recommend anything particularly bout the engine. bodykits all centers recommend you to buy it as it just stick to the body.

just think what if anything happens to the engine and it is using the products from the hyundai centers, we can sue them for offering such products right? so they already studied the product and it safe to use it.

if you ask me, maybe i won't buying it at first service, maybe i buy it after 20k or 50k. it says treatment oil right?

why not you check it out the treatment oil in the internet. just study it for better understanding. icon_rolleyes.gif

don't mind if i to comment. I've read last week in the net not mistaken in car bible(nothing to do with christian) or somthing, they say to use the engine flush if something really bad happens to the engine that need flushing, then use the flush engine. because some flush additive will attract more carbon then before. more carbon means less power the car be. so need to be careful which product to use. easier to just avoid it.

just my 2 cents.. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yup. That is what the purpose of the additive.
My recommendation won't be using it for my car.
As mentioned if your ful oil has already built a protection layer on your block n you use the additive to flush it.
Then it defeats the purpose of it.
Additive are made for those not so good fuel oil as carbon deposit will be built in the block n need to be flush out.
Bad fuel oil means more profit for additive manufacturer.
Well actually some of them came from the same company. tongue.gif

anybody here has potent booster?wan to ask if in traffic jam which mode you use? of course ECO mode but ECO 9 or ECO4?because when use setting 9 its hard to move the car,so this means gear change will be late...so in order to save fuel gearchange must be faster to 6th gear. i notice when speed is at 60kmh ur gear is still at 5! only Gear 6 will make ur FC better

so ECO9 will make throttle very late and make the gear at 1st to 2nd takes more time means more fuel used.ECO 8 & 7 same thing

I notice normal auto gear from 1st to shift 2nd, rpm will need more than 2k. if I on ECO6, 2nd gear change is exactly at 2000 rpm. so can save a bit fuel here. but if drive ECO6 in 6th gear, FC seems worst.(watching the FC after reset)more better fc if in norm auto mode.

to early change using shiftronic it won't let u. arrive at certain speed then it let you to shift. not like DSG in VW. it lets you shift until 6th at 60km. 7th gear only speed above 60kmh...

just my 2 cents

Congratulation. Just in time for CNY. Huat-ar !!!!! rclxm9.gif

I just drove my car from Penang to PJ today. Been worry whether the long distance drive is good for the car or not. I was advised not to exceed 90 kmh. i have tried to follow that but sometimes still hit 100 kmh. The ODO is at around 600km now.
Read online article about engine break-in but not quite understand what it is.....

Here's what I understand, when car engine is new, there might be some minor metal debris produce by new piston and engine wall. Some said from manufacturing process. That is why avoid revving high RPM before the first service. And engine oil need to be changed at 1000KM which is barely used. I might be wrong. So go do some digging.

aircon. because if i off the ACC the noise disappear. furthermore the ACC if i put 26 Celsius it will cold first time on then it fades away even the car is moving in hway...normally if like proton cars if caught in traffic jam ACC becomes less, if the car moving the ACC regains back. but this its stays less cold... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I have a different mindset. if we only had this problem, the SC cannot just say it is normal. So we can claim warranty.

Here's what I understand, when car engine is new, there might be some minor metal debris produce by new piston and engine wall. Some said from manufacturing process. That is why avoid revving high RPM before the first service. And engine oil need to be changed at 1000KM which is barely used. I might be wrong. So go do some digging.

I just drove my car from Penang to PJ today. Been worry whether the long distance drive is good for the car or not. I was advised not to exceed 90 kmh. i have tried to follow that but sometimes still hit 100 kmh. The ODO is at around 600km now.
Read online article about engine break-in but not quite understand what it is.....

Detail review? all i can say its a good product. simple but effective to save fuel and to get good acceleration.

use ECO mode from level 2 to 4. this is when u caught in jams. without potent sometimes u accidently throttle more even just to make the car move during heavy jams. so ur wasting fuel. but with ECO mode u can control the throttle better since ECO mode delay your throttle response. yes it moves really slow so for me i wont put ECO level 5 or 9. level 3 to 4 already enough. if you want to cruise like normal in hway put level 2 or 3.

this setting may different from others so this is just suggestion.(some people have really heavy foot)

the result? if normal mode in highway i can get only 7.1 l/100km. but in ECO mode level 2 i can get as down as 6.6 l/100km. I even can get 5.8 l/100km sometimes. this is hway condition only. if mix condition normal mode is 8.1 l/100km but in ECO level 2 i can get 7.6 to 7.1 l/100km.

i try to get 7.1 l/100km in normal mode but i couldn't(mix). in ECO mode i can.

other modes not yet try. just once in racing mode FH level 7. i tried it at standstill, and the acceleration is WOW!. never imagine the car can go that fast. and thats in level 7 only. but for me its already satisfying.

but this review is only for 1.8 engine. 1.6 engine i'm sure will be differerent coz i heard only 1.8 with potent can increase 5 bhp. 1.6 maybe not that much.

the reason i buy this is because i read so many reviews (Malaysia & US) that 1.8 engine throttle response is not as good as other 1.8 cars. so it makes me wonder maybe 1.8 engine was detune (at throttle) from factory in getting the 40mpg. so to override it potent is the answer. this will unleash the real potential of the car is...

but i haven't really test the raw power of the engine and will not test it until i reach to 3000km or more. mau jaga engine ma....

Just curious, so we have to change the setting all the time to suit different road condition, even more frequent than changing the gear?

its up to your preferences.

for me traffic jam ECO 3. for performance HA 7. for racing FA7. feel like to rileks and save fuel ECO 2. so 4 settings only. so for other people maybe different. what i'm telling u is my settings. to others is only guideline. first time all need to test by themself. but u can use my guideline to shorten your testing time. icon_rolleyes.gif

You don't really need to change the settings that often after some time of using it actually.
After a month or two of using it you will find a setting that will suit you most of the time.
You will go crazy with FA mode when kena Tiong or in the mood to race.
Most of the time maybe EC or HA is sufficient.
And NO I'm not using the potent booster myself.
But I'm one of the tester for the prototype unit smile.gif

yup done already but i off the feature coz if u put light into auto, light will on early(sensor automatic)

i like the rain sensor..really helpful...but during night especially if low lighting sensor a bit slow to detect rain drop...it will wipe when there is light eg. lamp post or rain drop already cover all windscreen. during day light(speed at same level) its perfect...will wipe early...so there is a weekness. very clever... rclxms.gif or maybe my one is not normal...how bout u guys?????

Hyundai US say MD can get 40mpg on hway. i've tried and get 5.6 l/100km. not that easy. i use potent booster to achieve that. normal really2 hard. road must be less hill. speed cannot exceed 100kmh...that is consumer sue hyundai bout the 40mpg. cannot get. majority have try it and its hard.that's why hyundai already lowered to 38mpg for hway around 6.2 l/100km. this also sometimes hard to get...but MD can do it. it just need driver to be patient to drive...if ur not rushing why not try to get 40mpg...really saves fuel...

mpg in US
l/100km or km/liter in malaysia

40mpg = 5.8liter/100km = 17.2km/liter (i think this is correct)

different on how we measure... thats all.

and rumors saying kia is bringing its 1.6 turbo engine.. now that i'm sure will attract more customers and will start a new era of turbo cars, like vw....if its true i guess hyundai also need to bring its turbo engine(share the same engine). its really a shame car like volestor here in malaysia don't have turbo engine...its just a great car...i think malaysian people deserve to have good cars..

GDI engine also good but suitable for model like accents. but volester, need an aggressive engine...same as its look. well i guess sime darby doesn't care bout that.

its a great achievement for hyundai if they can sell volester turbo. u see 100% of my colleague mistaken of hyundai with KIA. really frustrated. it shows hyundai promotion is really bad. ad in newspaper also not attractive. i think hyundai sales dept need to have a change. its about time for hyundai to rise up. look at KIA RIO ad in TV and newspaper. its there. but hyundai?ad in tv, never to be seen. c'mon sime darby...hyundai needs u.

Interested in the Kia forte and elantra 1.6.

**Car model that i like : Audi tt, RCZ, honda CRZ, Kia forte koup, K5, sonata.
**Hopefully monthly installment below 1k
**FC important. 1.6cc is my choice.

Please advice guys.Thanks

Hi friends, I am very happy about my fuel consumption. I filled full tank when i got red fuel light (for 40 litres).... now again my fuel light glows... my elantra 1.6 crossed 550 kms ..... (its almost 13.75 per liter petrol)
My driving conditions

Suggest you go to another SC. It's not a recall but a known issue at US. You could get a claim, but unlikely to recall it unless majority of the car have the exact issue.

Yes.. I have read someway that the elantra 2013 break pad material is the root cause.. It is something like ceramic type.. Not sure how true.

Suggest y change sc. Most of us no issue. Only after rain break got sound, which is normal.
If u r the unlucky 1 who have all kinds of issues on 1 car, I feel sorry for u. All brands will have 1 in 1000 unlucky car be it BMW or merz.
The only thing u can do then is either change all the part affected, or change car.

Brake sound after rain, you call this as problem? please understand the real issue behind before you comment. Congratulation to yours for having no issue, but not for most of us. You are the lucky one. Now we are talking about the brake pad grinding issue, why compare BMW, merz?? please dun comment just for the sake of insulting.

Let me clarify, this ready stock thingy happens rarely. Every Elantra our boss bought (CASH) and in bulk, 20-30 units one batch to be shared with 2 Advant Speed branches - Sri Kembangan and Damansara Perdana. All assigned with owners. You service with us also yield good benefit. 2 years OR 40,000km free labour service. We have 2 service centre, 1 in Sri Kembangan and 1 in Bandar Puteri, Puchong!

In this case, 1 fellow "Loan reject" due to Over-commitment. Hence, we have Ready stock. For 1.8 Premium, we have 3 units ready stock (same Loan reject issue). 2 White and 1 Phantom black!

The problems are MINOR. Please visit LYN Preve Club! They have MUCH MUCH more Problems and often Serious. After reading Preve owner's problems, I'm happy for Hyundai Elantra. My cousin owns a Preve CFE 1st batch delivered 20 April 2012, lots of problems! Thank God fixed under warranty!

Also, my dad's 2008 Honda Civic FD2 2.0IVTEC also have it's fair share of problems. TAK! Sound when going over speed bumps - still unsolved, A-pillar cover keep popping up and lastly, Rear wheel bearings KO pre-maturely at 80,000km

Bro, as Wei mentioned, I think best is send to other SC to get diff opinions.
Similar with visiting doctors, we also take few opinion before we make a conclusion.

You sent to Shah Alam SC to check is it?
Try sending to branches with not so many traffic around as some are over crowded.
Please do update us in here and FB about this issue so we can know what is the solution for it.

Happy CNY bro biggrin.gif

anyone here have bad quality of radio reception? I sent to hyundai glenmarie, the SA said that is normal especially when you go to the place that have electrical substation. So sad, even my Myvi radio reception is far better than my elantra.

Yup bad radio reception. Antenna on back wind screen. 1.6 or 1.8 should not matter... Other car with printed antenna no such issue. Note that changing hud will not fix the issue.
Design issue I guess? rclxub.gif

The problems are MINOR.  Please visit LYN Preve Club!  They have MUCH MUCH more Problems and often Serious. After reading Preve owner's problems, I'm happy for Hyundai Elantra.   My cousin owns a Preve CFE 1st batch delivered 20 April 2012, lots of problems!  Thank God fixed under warranty!

Also, my dad's 2008 Honda Civic FD2 2.0IVTEC also have it's fair share of problems.  TAK! Sound when going over speed bumps - still unsolved, A-pillar cover keep popping up and lastly, Rear wheel bearings KO pre-maturely at 80,000km
*
U not kidding right? 1 of the reason I bought altis over civic 5yrs ago was bcoz of the tak sound. Still unresolved?? mad.gif
Unfortunately altis came with its fair share of issue. Rattle Everywhere. Back suspension damn noisy especially ppl going in out the car. Steering wheel syellek layer pill off. Cannot than sold it off.
Tat is why am grateful of HE now compared to the infamous T&H. Minor issues so far.

It's overpriced for a 1.4L car bro, even though they throw in everything and the kitchen sink. Wait for facelift when they upgrade the engine, then it will be better buy. I got a feeling K3 will be more more exp than current forte. The gov has wakened up seeing how their potong sales cannibalised by forte price.. whistling.gif

how about without potent booster? What are the figures that we will be getting (for city, combined and highway)?
*
without potent booster your throttle would not be smooth. sometimes u throttle a bit the car jumps..especially in traffic jam...then when ur at the roundabout, u press more but the car moves slow. so here means the throttle response is not that consistently the same(up to ECU)..so with potent if u set ECO mode, during jam u would not make the car jump forward. or set at HA for fun driving always pushes the car as u like. or put FA for ultimate force on the engine for sheer excitement. the power is in ur hands...

K3 will be C-Seg similar pricing with our HE. But still will be slightly cheaper or else same price but lots more features than us.
Sad reality but Naza does has it's way with getting better pricing vs feature than SD.

Yup fully agree. No matter how much cheaper, also won't be as cheap as current forte. That is my point. Remember K3 is replacement model for forte.

last night my daughter accidentally open front door while I'm driving. It's opened even i already locked the door. luckily nothing bad happen.

Just notice that even you locked the door, its only prevent you to open the door from outside. From inside, it will automatically release the lock when you pull the door handle.

Just explained in FB to a member. It's actually NCAP safety feature enforced to all new cars nowadays.

Can't do much about it. We are all worried on this but don't think much can be done.

As for back seat u can use the child lock feature. nod.gif

No problem bro.
Most of the owners who had kids sitting in front raised their worries too on this till date.

Seemed like it's a safety feature that passenger in front can escape from a burning/crashing car whenever they want. rclxms.gif

Bro, as Wei mentioned, I think best is send to other SC to get diff opinions.
Similar with visiting doctors, we also take few opinion before we make a conclusion.

You sent to Shah Alam SC to check is it?
Try sending to branches with not so many traffic around as some are over crowded.
Please do update us in here and FB about this issue so we can know what is the solution for it.

Happy CNY bro  biggrin.gif

I was sent to Hyundai Old Klang Road, the customer service made me frustrated. i happen to sent my car in another service center in damansara and they promised to change the brake pad for me if the problem still persists.

No, i have not much issue with my Elantra, only the brake pad grinding sound that really annoying, it is like the brake system will crack anytime soon.

whatever problem that we encountered, we should trying to solve it instead of avoiding it, don't you think so?

That is my main worries back then.
My tinting has 5 yrs warranty but don't think gonna drag for too long as it will damage the lines more when taking the tinting later.

Lol, I got some spare connector lying around. So I just use them. Else you can simply use cable, or anything that conductive to link both point. Use your creativity.

its up to your preferences.

for me traffic jam ECO 3. for performance HA 7. for racing FA7. feel like to rileks and save fuel ECO 2. so 4 settings only. so for other people maybe different. what i'm telling u is my settings. to others is only guideline. first time all need to test by themself. but u can use my guideline to shorten your testing time. icon_rolleyes.gif

wondering how to change those setting? izit jst available for 1.8premium? coz i jst can find eco mode on or off only...any sifu can teach here..tq tq...mine is 1.6hs

Did any of you get the car that someone else cancelled and allocated to you by your SA?

To make sure that it was not a second-hand car, did you go to JPJ and check whether someone had registered the car before being offered to you?

Hi civicspoon,
did u add potent booster? just wondering how u manage to get that fc because after 1st service and using petronas 95 I still can't manage to get the 450km.
I'm definitely not heavy footed and the ECO light is always on.

This petrol thingy really hard to explain.. first all the petrol is come under the same source.. just that different operator will add-in very little (may be 0.001%) of the additive (i.e. Techron, Extra, FuelSave.. etc), I am not sure how can this contribute to the fuel consumption.. I have tried many, but still all is almost the same for me.. may be just me.. sweat.gif brows.gif

Everyone got their preference.
For me it's Shell but ppl r saying its no good.
But I had tried Petronas n it wasn't as good as Shell.
So it all depends on the driver if u ask me.
As long as the petrol station u choose is easily accessible n near to your house/work place cool.gif

Car Registration Card.
U need it to renew your road tax every year.
Bank will keep it for the first year.
U need to apply to take the ori from bank later on.
No worries bro biggrin.gif

Is it the same as "garan"?

There is no bank involved, I'm paying outright. So that means I'm getting the original right?

So what I understand is if the car was used before, the name of the previous owner should also appear on the card. Am I right?

Uhmm.. do I get the card after vehicle registration is complete?

Thanks Stevenycs.

Planning to get 1.6 HS. Appreciate if any active forumer can list down all the potential/known issues and whether it is fixable by SC. So far I have identified below. I understand that all cars have their own issues but just want to prepared for upcoming potential issue.

a) bad radio reception - not an issue to me
b) brake noise during emergency brake - I assume it is fixable

I'm definitely not heavy footed and the ECO light is always on.

first thing, ditch that eco mode built in HE. it would do anything...yes i add potent booster. the 450km is using petron fuel. petronas i never test yet.( i won't i think). and that 450km is majority i go to work every day.( 50% hway 50% town).

let me teach u how to drive....the secret is even u have light footed doesn't mean u save fuel. let me ask u. at gear 1 should u light footed?no! 2nd gear? no!this 1st and 2nd gears need to be shifted quickly to 3rd gear. then u can light the throttle. lets say ur strolling in town. sure u drive slowly right? but need to be in 3rd gear...1st and 2nd strolling will increase FC.

that's is in town condition. for hway condition i think light footed at gear 6 u doing the right way.

another thing need to complete run in first then you track ur FC. after run in then boleh cerita... thumbup.gif

Yup, it's Garan smile.gif
Yup, one car one Garan. so if there's an owner beforehand, you will definitely see his/her name on it.

U only get the original one after a year or two from the bank.

let me tell u my story, during my 3 months waiting...i've use vw polo tsi 1.2 as my transportation. so i tried shell, petronas, petron and bhp. shell good acceleration, but bad FC. petronas both worlds bad, petron balanced, bhp best performance but less FC. so I chose petron all the way...when i get my new HE, as benchmark i use petron first fill in the tank...after run in, i get 450km from rm70. now i'm testing BHpetrol. so far, acceleration with petron is better...the difference is minimum thats why most people feel the same...people like me is kind of driver that can feel the slightest change to the car behaviour. i get my experience with my 7 year old honda civic ek b18c engine.(new owner turn the car into drag car!). it really taught me bout cars...

HI, im a new owner of Elantra 1.8, this my experience on FC,

mine is 48L full tank
Full tank will cost Rm 90, mostly poured for RM85
1st Full tank used Shell 95, 75% like city drive even thou i use federal highway it still will be like city, i think u guyz out there know why, 20% highway, managed to clock 440KM an refiled for RM 85, still left about 3 lit of petrol

2nd full tank, Caltex 95, immediate difference on pickup and power as i already imagined, 70% city 30% highway with full load on passenger and booth, manged to clock 485KM, seems like turning off VSM helps on city pickups to reduce FC maybe im wrong, filled up full tank again RM 86.57, left about 2 Lit petrol balance

3Rd on Petron 95 still testing, currently trip meter showing 145KM, 3 bars are down,

Thing to note, don't trust ODO that shows KM to next refill, its totally misleading, but it is normal because it will change according to ur driving style,

i'm not heavy footer thou light, it is like moderate, my highest speed clocked so far in highway, 140Kph, mostly average 110 - 120Kph on highway,

next 1000 service wanna buy Mobil 1 fully synthetic (5w -50) and use, i have it used on my previous Vios, the Engine Noise reduced greatly and power is more better, results in more better FC, wanna check how it does for My new Elantra....

welcome new owner rclxms.gif ...its worth it. erm one thing concerns me ur next engine oil change...why 5w50? fully synthetic ok but 5 ok 50???? to my knowledge 50 is usually for racing right???? and if you look in the manual it recommends 5w30. 50 won't harm to the engine since ur 1.8. but its a waste since ur car is new why not get 30 or 40?50 weight is heavier than 30 right.correct me if i'm wrong here guys...

Hi there, thanks, by what i know is 5W 40 should be lighter but in my experiance, 5w 50 seems to be more better, let me share my Vios experiance, after 5K service, toyota SC started to use Toyota 5W 40 fully synthetic OIL, after warranty expired for the car, i change to 5w 50 which is a mobil 1, tell u i feel the car more lighter and more powerful yet more smooth and less engine noise, ideally u wont hear any engine noise when u waiting in traffic light, hehehe, thats why i think 5w 50 should be more powerfull and smoother than 5w 40, but i may be wrong here because Mobil 1 and toyota is diffrent brand, further to add, for my Elantra i'm not going to change it on my first service, planing to wait for the next 5000 service an hantam my Mobil 1 5w 50 on it, Hopefully the car wont fly icon_idea.gif hehe, just kidding...

really sorry bro to make u rclxub.gif ....u see currently i'm using 5w30 petro canada semi. HE recommend us 10w40 helix h7. good engine oil...its general to say new cars use 5w30 engine oil. 2nd hand car 5 years above 10w40 engine oil. more than 10 years better get new car!!!!! u see i once tried 5w50 for my old car honda civic ek. usually pour in 10w40. but since oil always getting less...shop recommends 5w50. oil is thick so will never go away. but drawback is it makes my car feel heavy after drive first time..so i let the oil blend in for 5 days. but still, feel the same heavy...so i decided to change back to 10w40. instantly the car feels lighter is before.so its clearly the oil makes my car feels heavy...other thing can make the car feel heavy is over fill engine oil. the next morning i check the dipstick and its true the engine was overfill alot..so next day ask them to take out the oil. after that car feels as normal...this was my experience so u could ask others opinion before make any decision... thumbup.gif

Thanks allot for the info bro, that's rite bro, Engine Oil makes allot different, u check back my edited reply, hehe, i missed out something earlier, i does see the point u are trying emphasize after i looked the website for 2nd time, see how lah bro, i will go check out the Mobil 1 5w 30 Oil for my 5K service, sure expensive, because last time my 5w 50 cost me RM185 - 195 depends on the shop, between my fren he is good in this type of car things and very informative guy, he told me, no mater its semi or fully the shell helix is still heavy compare to other brand, so myself am not fan of shell either, now a bit afraid of that engine oil that hyundai using,

my recommendation for petrol try use caltex ron 95, if you are using shell, u will find the car more powerful and will move much more easier compare to shell petrol, check out and see

ya bro, it's true, both are sharing oils, shell maybe ok for lower cc car, because last time i use shell allot for vios because it results in higher mileage, but still the power is normal only, but i still prefer caltex because of it's power, for Elantra 1.8, i feel like shell is very much under powering the car, u see my first post, shell gave me only 440KM, it started to light up the oil light when it reach 412KM, caltex results in 440Km before it has the oil light comes up and i further up to 485Km before i refill using petron, petron seems to be good also, the power is good, hoping it will reveal more better mileage... smile.gif

yes...every new car is with shell 10w40 helix h7. but like me i change to 5w30 car feels lighter not that obvious. but people like me i can feel the lightness..so it gives more FC. but not that much...helix is ok...but if try to buy outside need to ensure ur buying the original H7. not the recycle one if not ur engine lifespan will be shorten...

Hi hks, I'm not very good in this, but from my understanding the first digit define the type I guess, 10 is for semi syntethic and 5 is for fully synthetic, in general fully synthetic is much lighter than semi synthetic, about the 2nd digit, it defines how lighter the oil is, the lower the digit the more lighter it is, for example 5w 30 is more lighter than 5w 40, this applies for semi synthetic also, please check this with local mechanics, I might be totally wrong on the first digit explanation, hi guys plz correct me if I'm wrong, thxx... smile.gif

There's no hole on the stock tweeter cover, you have to patiently and painfully poke enough hole, while not damaging the cover.

The two numbers on that you are referring is actually referring to the viscosity of the fuel oil.
Since there is two numbers it's considered multi-grade with the first two digit 5W (W) stand for Winter.
In other word, the viscosity of the fuel oil during winter or cold start.

In reality there is no Full Sync or Semi Sync.
There is only Sync or Non Sync (Mineral Base).
But local manufacturer had classified them as semi-sync so that they can profit from it.

Hope this helps smile.gif

yup. ok. feel lighter. but not that much because after a while u forget but it. with helix i've use once(1000km only) so not sure whether PC there is a fuel savings. rm70 can go 450km(petron) but what i'm concern is the protection. every morning start there is tet tet tet sound. but its normal in the morning(24 Celsius temp) after warm up sound goes away...

just that i avoid common brands like shell, petronas, mobil coz of recycle oil. petro canada in malaysia only 1 distributor. so originality is gerenti..

I see that most of you guys got the 1.6L High Spec. Whats the main reason getting it. From what i checked at HE brochure, the ESP with VSM. What is this?

Currently what discount / rebate / free gift is SD offering for HE?

Now considering changing car. Budget below 100K.

Tet Tet sound? the sound only come after using PC or its been there since day 1?
Mine no sound even cold start after 2 days leaving it.
Maybe will rev up a while but will come back down below 1K after few secs.

You know the market trend of local fuel oil bro .. good thumbup.gif
Cause not many ppl know what is happening at the back as every where ppl are promoting the local brands.
But not just local brands, even some oversea brands like Sum0, HK5, Lub3 or R0ck also don't really has a spec sheet for you to see.
Makes you wonder what they put inside the oil. hmm.gif

im not sure when the sound starts from...i better monitor that sound to see whether its becoming worst or not...performance ok. but i dont worry much bout the engine coz as long you pour in the correct engine oil and its original its fine with me. every oil maker says it protects ur engine right? but we dont know it until we open up the head cover.PC have data spec that can be obtain from www.pclube.com.my. its satisfactory for me. but helix 7 is not bad at all. it just that i want the 30 viscosity. its has been 7 yrs using 40 viscosity. its just me... biggrin.gif

but i really potong when on the aircon horrible sound to your ears...whining sound.maybe it could be the compressor. day 2 already hearing that but i wasn't alert of it...tomorrow want to send to SC have a look.the sound like ur using a recon compressor..mane blh...krete baru ma...does anybody have this problem? what will the SC say? its normal?c'mon...not that word again.... mad.gif it shows how simple the SC take its countermeasures...if they check it kaw2 then they explain it in detail its fine with me... that's professional.

I like to start my engine/car every morning and let it run for a min before moving.
I will not turn on the radio and air cond till i hit highway.
So i can observe any farnie sound or irregularities from the whole car.

You should get the compressor check bro.
Our car damn quiet during stationery without the radio on with air cond on level 1.
If air cond off, damn i dun even know the engine ON or not .. haha! thumbup.gif

QUOTE(zyrl @ Feb 22 2013, 09:56 AM)
I see that most of you guys got the 1.6L High Spec. Whats the main reason getting it. From what i checked at HE brochure, the ESP with VSM. What is this?

Currently what discount / rebate / free gift is SD offering for HE?

Now considering changing car. Budget below 100K.
*
Hi! zyrl, In summary, the Hyundai Elantra MD 1.6 High Spec's a GREAT BUY. The VSM and ESC is VERY IMPORTANT Safety features called Vehicle Stability Management and Electric Stability Control. It's a version of Advanced Traction Control (called VSM in Honda, E-TCS in Ford, VSC in Toyota and Daihatsu, and lastly Simply TCS (Traction Control System) for ALL OTHER CAR MAKERS!). This prevents your car from losing control and skidding. Ie. you can drive and corners as fast as you can when raining CONFIDENTLY and WORRY FREE! Hope you get my explaination.

Why Elantra MD 1.6 High Spec OVER 1.8 Premium? Read on:

1) Latest 1.6 DOHC DUAL-CVVT Engine producing 130ps@6300rpm and 157Nm@4600rpm which is More than adequate for a Non-Turbo 1.6L 11xxKG C-segment car.
2) Just right / Balanced between performance and Fuel Economy. In fact, the 1.6 Elantra's 15-20% more economical than 1.8 in City driving. But is reversed at Highway OR High speed cruising where the Extra 20ps horsepower and 21Nm torque prevails!
3) Better Sound System as it's FACTORY FITTED from KOREA unlike the 1.8's LOCALLY Sourced CHINA MADE (either Flyaudio OR Hanns) with SUCKY Screen (useless at Bright Sunlight), Crappy speakers (need to adjust to 30(!) to hear the music whereas the 1.6 adjust to 11-13 will do!
4) Un-necessary items found in 1.8 like Nappa Leather, Electric Glass Sunroof, 17" Rims and 215/45R17 (more $$$ when changing tyres, Auto-cruise, Electrical Adjustable Driver seat only and LASTLY Dual-zone Climate Control Air-cond. Ask yourself, is it WORTH the RM16,000 Extra.
6) Priced below RM100,000 at RM98,888 with RM1500 discount from ME with free 4 items! (I am Hyundai Salesman from Advant Speed Motor)!
This is RM16,000 Cheaper than 1.8 which is A LOT OF MONEY which can be used to upgrade the following to make it IDEAL Elantra 1.6 High Spec:

a) Potent Booster (750), b) Quality Bodykits set (RM1800 max), c) Stabilizer bar (180), d) Ultra Racing rear 16mm anti-roll Bars (340), e) BEST QUALITY 3M Crystalline 70 ALL ROUND 97% IRR Tinting with 2nd layer 4 mil clear tint on 4 doors - bumped up to 6 mil! (RM2300), f) Plug and Play UK-style Paddle shifter - RM750 (Speedo Auto used to sell, now no longer carry - dunno why?), Auto fold side mirrors (RM850), g) DRL Foglights (RM450) and DRL Headlights (BMW Style) RM850), h) Korean made DVD+GPS+Bluetooth+IPOD Connectivity 8 inch Touch Screen Player (1 inch larger than China made 1.8P) WITH BUILT-IN REVERSE CAMERA (RM3,000 got change)... (TOTAL SO FAR RM11270 only!) i) AND LOTS MORE!

GRAND TOTAL OTR Price after less 55% NCB and RM1500 cash rebate is RM96,269.75. Add RM11,270 is ONLY RM107,539.75! You still have MORE THAN RM5000 savings over 1.8 Premium after PERFECTING or ADDING VALUE to the 1.6 High Spec.. Do you get what I mean?

Other Forum members, please help me to POISON HIM!!!

now i'm doin that since yesterday just to observe any noise. evey morning after 2 bars temp i start moving slowly. since coming out of my house there is a high hill to climb...so the car seems really hard to climb with 2 bars..so will make sure 3 bars temp then climb after this.
yup if idle really low noise. the compressor only whines if i throttle the engine. if the car moving can hear it from rpm 1k to 1.8k. if the car speed at 30kmh i guess, the sound disappear. they should replace new one...

I think its a good practice. Long term wise can protect the engine.
And also self-diagnose the car for ourselves.
I will move my car at 1 bar but be moving like less than 50kmh. tongue.gif

During highway drive can listen to the noisy NCT5 only doh.gif

Wei Jeff y u trash 1.8? I am loving the nappa smoothness. My son and back passengers loving the sun roof. My son climb up while I circle the park. Open all the way while going up genting . Love the auto wiper. GPS very useful no need to bring another external unit. Reverse cam loving it. Uses the auto cruise whenever balik kampung.
Audio sucks in 1.8 is true. Dual aircond is not necessary in Malaysia. Hate the 17" due to no Michelin comfort tyre for it.

All in all, 1.6HS is more than adequate. The feature for a 96k car already beat all C segment car out there except 1 model.

*
since the demand is high i reveal my secret rm70 450km

before 1000km service i didn't look at all the FC because i feel the car like heavy.(because engine parts still new, net yet loose)so no use at looking FC. after 1000km, i change oil to Petrol Canada Supreme Synthetic 5w30 and i bought potent booster. i pour in petron ron95 rm70.(in car have 2 bars left) at night.

my journey to office every day is 90km. start morning(time 6.30) town cheras bt9(jam about 5 minits), then hway(clear)speed 120km, end in shah alam(clear). journey back start town shah alam(jam 5 minits) then hway(jam 30 minits) end town cheras batu 9 (jam 5 minits). saturday and sunday town strolling for 10kms. total rm450km.(left 2 bars at dash)remaining 113km.

i also use potent booster to help me to lower my FC. Use Mode EC level 3. never use HA or FA.

just finish my test for BHpetrol so rm70 i get 422km only. power feel slightly low if compare to petron. after this back to petron.

my conclusion potent booster, type of petrol, type of engine oil 5w30, pump gas in night time,journey in low temp(morning & evening),speed below 120kmh and lighter leg helped me get better mileage

thats my secret. FOC. my old 1.8 honda vtec rm70 can get 400km. many say its impossible to get that in B18c type r ron95 high cams...its the bond between man and machine they say. talk to ur car. it hears you... shocking.gif

my journey to office every day is 90km. start morning(time 6.30) town cheras bt9(jam about 5 minits), then hway(clear)speed 120km, end in shah alam(clear).  journey back start town shah alam(jam 5 minits) then hway(jam 30 minits) end town cheras batu 9 (jam 5 minits). saturday and sunday town strolling for 10kms. total rm450km.(left 2 bars at dash)remaining 113km.

i also use potent booster to help me to lower my FC. Use Mode EC level 3. never use HA or FA.

just finish my test for BHpetrol so rm70 i get 422km only. power feel slightly low if compare to petron. after this back to petron.

my conclusion potent booster, type of petrol, type of engine oil 5w30, pump gas in night time,journey in low temp(morning & evening),speed below 120kmh and lighter leg helped me get better mileage

thats my secret. FOC. my old 1.8 honda vtec rm70 can get 400km. many say its impossible to get that in B18c type r ron95 high cams...its the bond between man and machine they say. talk to ur car. it hears you...  shocking.gif

What is the normal cost for good coating?

Don't think any SC in PJ can bring your own oil.
PJ only has one from Kah Bintang as far as I know or Glenmarie HQ

USJ has one which u can try to bring our own oil.
Or u can try avant speed in Puchong. nod.gif

You r driving 1.6 or 1.8 bro?
If 1.8 go ahead but if 1.6 n u r looking for better FC well sadly it's not really that much diff.
Well unless u can live with a very slow car.
As we tested before the potent are meant for 1.8 as their torque or power is higher.
So even when they set to EC mode, the car at low rev but still can give sufficient power.
This is not the case for 1.6 which has lower hP.
If u r looking for acceleration then go ahead biggrin.gif
This is what I discovered from our road test for 1.6 unit previously.

Its good for smoother acceleration. Like when u're stuck in a crawling back-to-back traffic jam. Smoother transition from idle to moving.

if i change the HU of the 1.6, does it void the warranty of the car itself?

All HU now r plug n play.
As long as we r not cutting any cables or splicing it there's no reason to VW.
Unless they just wanna make your like difficult changing a bulb also will VW.

Depends what r u looking for. If for better FC then not so noticeable IMO.
Better FC with sacrifice of Power for 1.6 is really bad.

Yesterday test drove a 2012 test drive 1.6HS with 5k millage. Still in good condition but noticed one thing. When I sit behind, when go through bumps, holes or uneven road, there's "ngek ngek" sound from the back seat left and right side as well just below the ear. Should be due to friction between leather seat with the side. Anyone encounter the same issue and found any solution for that?

from dyno results, around 7 bhp increase for the 1.8, if i remembered correctly in FA9 mode.
EC9 for the 1.8 actually makes the engine behave more like the 1.6... but EC9 for 1.6 makes it behave like a freaking turtle.. hahaha tongue.gif

I think what you heard is from the friction between the 4 door rubber lining to the side of the car body, every on and off I need to apply silicon lub on all the rubber lining to reduce the friction sound.. rainy season some more worst.. the lubs get wash off more frequent and need to apply more frequent.. quite annoying though sad.gif

SC also apply lub on it when i complaint..haiz~~ no permanent solution

I still think it is the leather seat because there's no noise at the front seat at all. There is no noise when nobody is sitting at the back. Test drive another 1.6HS, 15k mileage, got noise at back right side but very mild.
Test drived a new unit, no noise at back seats and noticed that there's a transparent plastic (actually plastics are everywhere in the new car for protection) between the side of the seats and the side of the car. Maybe thats the solution. i just need to make sure i dont remove that plastic in my new car. SA claim this new car will be their test drive car waiting to be registered so no worries to test it. Also tried the emergency break at 50km/h for this new 2013 car and no break noise/sound

humm, speed is still not so much considered for me as i found the car now move much more faster, i serviced the car after 1000 Km, i wanted to use the Shell semi synt they use, but still no good feel about it, so i bought my own Mobil 1 10w 40 semi synt, guess what, they car more faster i mean, less throttle to shift between gears, the pickup was very good and smooth, seems like the FC as improved, now the car at 1 bar before half tank showing 200 Km, as what i know, it was 75% city drive and 25% highway, hopefully can mark a good consumption throughout full tank

I still think it is the leather seat because there's no noise at the front seat at all. There is no noise when nobody is sitting at the back. Test drive another 1.6HS, 15k mileage, got noise at back right side but very mild.
Test drived a new unit, no noise at back seats and noticed that there's a transparent plastic (actually plastics are everywhere in the new car for protection) between the side of the seats and the side of the car. Maybe thats the solution. i just need to make sure i dont remove that plastic in my new car. SA claim this new car will be their test drive car waiting to be registered so no worries to test it. Also tried the emergency break at 50km/h for this new 2013 car and no break noise/sound

Double check the rear seats' release lock are firmly attached and locked to the seat. I had once the lock is not lock on to the seat and make anoying rattling sound if road uneven.

Greetings happy elantarians. My mom is planning to get the 1.8 version soon and we're quite happy with the car except for one thing. It doesn't come with auto-fold side mirrors! mad.gif

So here comes the question, does fixing the auto-fold mirror motors like the one here void the car's warranty? I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I still can't find the answer. I think many people in this thread must have gotten the auto-fold mirrors right? icon_question.gif

Really appreciate some feedback from you guys thumbup.gif

A lot of owners previously installed from Speedo during the first groupbuy.
Since it's all plug and play so it won't void the warranty.
Well unless the SC really wanna void your warranty then changing your rims also they say will void. smile.gif

I'm one of the happy user. I won't say it's entirely plug and play as it involve taking apart the stock mirror and reusing part of the components. So your side mirror warranty is consider goner. but Speedo provide 1.5yr warranty for it.

What kinda paint problem? If the car recently collected you can try. But if you did not mentioned it during car collection, most likely they won't do anything. Try asking your SA.

Thanks guys thumbup.gif. That's a total relief rclxm9.gif So I should just go to Speedo and they would kaotim the installation for me? How much extra would they charge? And I suppose the RM850 they state in their webpage are the motors for BOTH the side mirrors right? sweat.gif Just wanna make sure, hehe nod.gif

bro, make sure when u shift be gentle a bit on the paddle, watch the green eco light, make sure it is not turning off for long, try to make the eco light stays as much as u could, if u feel car is needing allot throthle to move, than something wrong, on your first service complaint to them, i did, even thou i got over 430++ average on that first mineral engine oil, i still complaint because what simedarby claim on their website is totally misleading, they stated combine fuel consumption of highway and city will result in 14.1km/lit, that not even come close to what we are experiencing on real life, so i made a complaint they said they can't do much and they reset my ECU and upgraded to new a 1, i still remember when i saw the computer box they use to connect to the car shows 4 new ECU, everything have the word IMPROVEMENT, but can't really see what was the improvement about, so the service person used the latest ECU it has, some-more i use Mobil 1 10w 40 Semi synthetic, not the shell helix 7 that they recommend, another thing to take note, for petrol don't use shell or petronas, i recommend u use caltex 95, use it to flush out the carbons in ur engine, caltex are good in cleaning ur engine, once u finished up with caltex, u can use petron, that should give good power and fuel almost on par with caltex, seriously say no for shell and petronas for this car, use caltex and see for ur self, u will notice immediate power difference on ur pickup(torque)....

Bro, mine 1.8 its 48L tank and will cost around RM85 for 44.74 Liters of petrol, easily can get over 420++ for it to light up the fuel light, once the fuel light is up, we can go further about 35++ km on city drive and u will left about 3.5liters of remaining petrol, as i see over here, 1.6 should be 42 liters full tank and should be able to easily reach 450KM ++, something is seriously wrong bro, get the service center to reset ur ECU, check ur spark plug and whatever that can cause high fuel....

oic..but there is one elantra owner use petronas and his mileage is 560km for rm80.(his car is 1.8!!!!!!!) his driving condition is 80%hway. are sure u already test petronas? shell i never hear any good comments(no wonder alonso lost to vettel). caltex is also like BHP not so many station.but since ur hearing your comments, i would give it a try..see how it performs. maybe petronas has something to offer. has anybody else use petronas for their elantra?what is ur FC?

petron and bhp is good one. but bhp give less pickup. i can say a balance between km = bhp. like petronas with my previous car gives >km but <bhp. petron km = bhp(but smooth acceleration). caltex km? bhp? like u said >km & >bhp. i like...

F1 no 1 fan... thumbup.gif can't wait new season to start... petronas merc will win this season... rclxms.gif yes...yes.. F1 win is not decided by what petrol you fill in, its down to the car aerodynamics...

shell i think the most advertise petrol company, but still their fuel not so advance as it seems. i've tried 4 kinds of car with shell,(merc cgi, vw polo, honda vtec, kelisa all i get is a little power but very bad in fuel saving...but petronas test from all these cars less pickup but good in FC.

thats why people avoid these petrol and go for something else that can give better for both worlds power and mileage...
