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.

Time for v18?

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~!!

I am using 95 all the way. Don't wanna try out 97. If the result is really better, I will spend extra 100 on my already 300 permonth. So no review for 97 from me. You try a few tanks and let me know...

I believe the ESC or specifically the Traction Control did its job there to save the car (& u for sure). When the car lift up (front lift), the front tires is on the air & rotate freely. When the ESC/TC sensors detects that the tires is rotating freely out of grip, the ECU rev down the engine (reducing engine torque) & turn off the cruise control to avoid mishap. This might also happen when u suddenly accelerate hard  on a slippery or sandy road (tire will slip & out of grip due to extra torque). Could u imagine this..if let say your car lifted in the air & the car did not turn off the cruise control..due to panic or common instinct, u then might turn the steering wheel in the air resulting sudden change of direction during landing (because the cruise control is still on & front tires is rotating fast)..in this case, the car might roll over with ease. So thank God that the ESC/TC works perfectly during that bump incident 

I have personally experience this before but not due to road bump..but due to slippery road during raining (not using the cruise control but because of sudden acceleration)

My sis did verify with the Service center, they used the 5w30 syntium 3000. So my conclusion is that the petrol did make the car abit heavy. Before the 1000km service we pump 97, right after the service we straight pump 95. That my point of view, can't really be 100% sure. Might try to pump back 97 again and see....

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
