Hi fellow fortezens,

Just wondering whether anyone service their air con before. Do we need to service it? So far have not done anything to the air con. Already 20K and coming to 1 year driving.

I doubt the SC check the air con.

maybe change the carbon filter, if the air isn't cool, refill the gas

Hey guys, i've been driving my Forte 1.6SX for only a month. Everything is fine and good. No rattling sound, no pull-left symptoms but only one issue i facing, the Air-Cond!!

Throughout the month, i experienced 4 times of the following condition: While i was driving, i switched my 'air-cond' to 'ON', fan speed 2, 20 degree celcius and set to internal-circulating air mode. The problem is the air blown was hot, and it was like air from the outside. I tot i set the mode to 'external' mode (Greenlight) but no, everything was in proper but how come its hot? After probably 20mins with that situation, it suddenly turns to cold~~(as though i need to accelerate to certain speed on the road only it turns cold) 

I've told the SC in BBK-Klang to check (under my 1st 1k service), but they said everything is ok, compressor, fan, refrigerant etc.. all in good condition!!

Anyone experiencing the same problem?!? i really wanna know wat is the problem..hope u guys can help....

TQ~!!

mostly the fan faulty, happened on my old car

Might also be the new engine oil. New oil is thicker hence heavier feel. At least I feel that way la. After you are used to it for 2 days, you will forget how it was. Heavier but you can feel the engine accelerate smoother.

For smoother acceleration, try BHP. But I feel that BHP is not giving the instant power like Petron. Heck. No Petron, no Petronas. I rather go to Shell.p
*
one of my friend suggested Caltex, i just refilled full tank like few days ago, already 11xkm so far, i feel power is lower compare to bhp which i used previously, need to press harder to accelerate, dunno is placebo or what, will finish the tank and see how, and yeah definitely no petronas and petron for me too tongue.gif

Guys, just wondering how is forte maintenance, parts cost and fuel consumption compare to vios and city? Thinking to get either one as my car..
*
my opinion

forte 1.6sx rm85xxx
-1.6L with 6 speeds auto with +/- and paddle shifter
-reverse camera with the screen on the rear mirror
-built in gps and navigation
-push start/stop engine button
-DRL

(above are what the kor have but jap don't)

vios 1.5G rm87xxx
-1.5L 4 speeds auto WITHOUT paddle shifter or +/-
-na
-na
-na
-na

city 1.5S rm85xxx
-1.5L 5 speeds auto WITHOUT paddle shifter or +/-
-na
-na
-na
-na

**prices are before discount** tongue.gif

service and maintenance cost are roughly the same, around rm200 for authorized sc, fc surely cannot beat vios, forte is heavier by around 300kg iinm coz it's full loaded with features and gadgets tongue.gif fc is the biggest selling point of vios tongue.gif

yup..i feel that too...it seems BHP give more power but low mileage...caltex, shell and petronas give more mileage for me...if you need power instead of mileage, use BHP  smile.gif
*
let me finish the tank and see how the mileage difference, tq for feedback

A WXG 5xxx spotted on Kesas. Confirm is forumer because plate carries AZ Master. Some one from Klang knows how to go Sri Kembangan for a car is confirm due to recomendation here. His car has black roof sticker, side vent (I guess it is for aesthetic).

I actually looking for your visor. Mind sharing where you bought it from?

You mean the visor on top of the windscreen? (sorry am not the owner of that WXG car btw =p but I just got my car recently from Mr. Loh)

Most probably it came from the Tint Shop Raytech as mine came with that visor (if we are talking about the same visor)
Btw do add me to the list of owners =D
