Wow. Your camera really good. Can zoom in so clear. You pasang correctly.

After I pasang mercun 10 days ago, today found the FC worse then before. No choice. I have to accept it. But for sure my 6-speed 1.6SX engine slightly smooth and better when climb up hill.

He thought yours is 2.0. Impossible.

I am not sure. Not dare to tell you. You can check below.

I am using BHP Ron95. Got one time I pumped Caltex Ron97, the car more power but too expensive.

This is very common now. I would say almost Forte having rattling sound problem on dashboard. I complaint and SC opened up the dashboard showed to me. All clips clips here and clips clips there. No choice, it is local assembly problem.

The SC helped to put more adhesives on the clips to avoid the rattling sound.

Oh Yes.. It really help. Reduced a lot the rattling sound. But you have to be prepare. When they correct out your air con vent, they may scratch your dashboard.

Now no more rattling sound on air con vent part, but then I heard very tiny noise klink klink klink after 10-15 mins drive... sound from parts below steering I guess...

Asked SC, they said ok, I give up and lazy go back to FC. Just leave it like that and turn on Radio louder.

Test unit is like that .... 80K++ (1.6 ) to get C Segment car .. where you can get after Preve and Inspira?

This is heavy / solid car ... that you have to pay 110K++ for others.

1.6 or 2.0 you saw that happened?

I can't tell exactly. For my case, it get reduced a lot. Some other said will come back after few months. And then some lucky guys never hit this problem.

Well, also many other brand having rattling sounds if unlucky. Yes forte is quite obvious.

Also depends on service centre kung fu too.

Before I bought this car, I also heard rattling sound during the test drive. So I did prepare for this problem before I bought.

Yeah. I believe they really need to take this seriously when they assemble the car parts. the rattling sound really annoying especially you drive on uneven roads. I always drive in industrial area and it is very bad experience. I couldn't stand anymore so last 2 months I asked the SC buka dashboard even though I know my dashboard might get scratched or worse case will have more rattling sounds.

I request the SC allowed me to sit it with the foreman and monitor closely. There all are nice enough to fix it. Well, it scratched my dashboard. But I know this is unavoidable because they have to cucuk the tool into the gap between dashboard and air-con vent beside HU in order to take it out. That is the 'price' you have to sacrifice.

And now.. Very less rattling sound and drive more comfortable

Yeah .. That is what I guess too. So can I say if want to save fuel, better don't use short cut road pusing sana pusing sini. Right?

Really sorry to hear about that. BTW, what is KB? Kota Bharu?

Sorry to tell you it is in Penang but not KL. They asked me to leave for them 1-2 days. But I insist I know where the sound comes from and asked them to fix that part only (air con vent beside HU). So they just opened up my HU and both air-con vents and add more adhesives to the clips.

If money is not the problem .. can afford for RM90k ++ and above. I will rather wait for K3.

In Penang... What else SC is the most famous? Of course JNS at Sungai Pinang....

You have to do booking first.

And I would like to give advice to those want to fix rattling dashboard.

1. It will take times. You better go during weekdays. If weekend, they will advice you bring back during weekdays or offpeak days.
2. You have to pointed out which area having problem. Don't let the foreman simply buka everything. That will make the thing even worse. I know my problem on air con vent + HU, and I only allowed them open that part only. And I believe save time.
Without specify the detail, normally they will ask you leave the car there and test for 1 or 2 days. And also you donno if they buka everything.

I am not saying JNS is expert to fix rattling sound. But I can comment is, they are very helpful and willing listen to suggestion. And work according to the point giving problem only.

Important Point:
- Don't blame if problem still persist after they tried to fix it. Because this is assembly problem. Not only Forte, other car also having this problem.
- Don't blame if they scratch your dashboard, heart so pain when I found get scratched, but I prepared for that before I went there. And I know it is very difficult to open you dashboard.


So. Good luck!

This is the most famous problem on our car. I think any SC know how to fix it. Perhaps, you want to try good motorman?

Maybe the bottle is 3.5litre that's why they poured everything even single drop. If 4 litres, then you should complain. That guy is insane. That will make your engine heavy and difficult to perform.

Check the oil level the morning is the best.

Do you know what grade what brand of engine oil they give to you?

Hmmm

Actually I asked them to give me Synthium 3000 5W30. You check your receipt and see... Hope they give you the same thing. Another option they will give me is Korean Engine Oil. No other what brand is it.
