Could be alot factor, by right the tyre shop guy will able to tell you which part caused it if its gone beyond standard specification (or they wanna make more your $$ for higher level adjustment ?)
*
my dad and i have been dealing with the tire shop for many years, also many regulars i can see, i don't think they wanna cheat me for small money, if he wanna make money he can simply quote me a price to fix it but he advised me to go sc and let them diagnostic since it's a new car

if it's more than -1.5 degree then inside sideway bunga will have slightly/uneven tire wear.. negative camber about -1.2 to -1.5 still wokay.. negative camber is good for better stability and handling..

if you are in doubt and you can't sleep well at night worrying about incorrect setup of your wheels you can always go to tayar shop and adjust the camber and toe to their experienced recommended settings.

normally default for optimal tyre wear with best straightline performance will be both wheel front camber -1 degree and both front toe in -0.05 to -0.09..
*
how about the rear wheels? what is the recommending setting?

Ok the SC finished my car at 11.30, take such long time coz they send the car to another shop aka wheel pro to do the alignment etc, perhaps they don't have the tool themselves, so i can't check about the camber is being fixed, when collect car the front desk staff explained that if the pull left issue still happen, come back within a week, at the same time i also did my first service with them, cost me rm243, also i mentioned the fuel lid issue and she said its fixed, i was confident with them so i didn't check, just take the key and drove away. After i drove to main road i found the pull left issue still there, not sure it got better or worsen coz i can't feel any changes before and after, i was thinking ok, maybe forte really have this issue, i can just live with it, after 15min i reach my destination, parked my car, before i come out i pulled the release trunk lid coz my bag is inside the trunk, then i was like wanna test the fuel lid too so i pulled it, found that it didn't release, tried again, same, now I'm thinking i need to waste my time again going back there

I too went to the same SC for my first service and left-pulling issue. At first after taking back my car, the left-pulling issue was still there but lesser. The next few days, it went away. Occasionally, I would still feel it but I'm fine with it.

alright, will observe for few more days, but my fuel lid, aih...

I believe 2.0 uses  more oil than 1.6, around 4.2l with oil cooler (not sure whether oil cooler is needed?). plan to use Mobil 1 extended performance 5w 20 for my 1st 1000km service. Will try my luck if SC able to let me use oil bought from outside  tongue.gif

QUOTE(lingleeyen @ Apr 3 2013, 11:37 PM)
I do not believe there is a 3.5L bottle. All that I have seen is 4L. So yeah. 99% they poured 4L into it.

Will call and ask SC what to do.

maybe it's like what raidensnake said, yours is 2.0 right?

This incident happened at 9.40pm. I found that my after market emblem is half peeled off. i tried to push it back but it sticked for a while before peeling half off again. In achieving perfection, I planned to peel the whole thing off and restick.

Looking at the adhesive of the emblem, I know I will not be able to get a replacement of the adhesive so I came out wit the 'brilliant' idea. Super glue.

Bought the super glue, clean the surface of the emblem and grill, picit the super glue kuat kuat on the back of the emblem then stick on the grill.

I did not expect this to happen (at least not to me), but the glue started dripping. It flows to the centre of the grill, to the chrome, then to bumper. I pandai pandai go wipe the glue with wet towel, leaving a scratch like mark on the grill, chrome and very little on bumper. I know I know. I s*hai. I was pissed, mostly at myself.

I tried wipe it off again but it did not come out. So wife came out with a brilliant idea of using Dove. Did not really work either but it came off a bit. I then used the car wash shampoo on a micro fiber cloth to scratch off the glue with finger nail. It worked. Now the chrome ok, bumper ok. I checked under torch light if there are scratches on the chrome because i used finger nails in cloth, luckily, there are no scratches. Bumper looked very fine. Need to check tomorrow morning to see if there are scratches that I cannot detect at night.

Now the biggest problem is the grill. You know la. The super glue will turn white when it oxidised. This is exactly how it looks on the grill now.

I don't have an emblem now, and the black grill looks dirty. So guys. Don't be panai like me.

i have the similar issue, both front and rear emblem like at least 30% peel off, i haven't done anything yet, planning to order ori 3M tape and ori removal liquid from taobao and get them done when items arrived tongue.gif

QUOTE(lingleeyen @ Apr 4 2013, 12:01 AM)
Yeah. Mine is a 2.0. The car definitely feels heavier when I first step into the car after 1st service.

I ignored because I use to get that for my BLM also after 1st service. Car feels heavier, but smoother engine sound, higher FC for the first week (compared to last few tanks before service). My BLM used 3.5L of oil. It was a 1.3L engine. So I assume a 2.0 L engine use more oil? I am not sure therefore I asked if any one knows. I saw xion city's post that he had 100ml extra on his engine oil and some what 500 ml extra on his AT oil, therefore he is feeling a lost in power in comparison to before service.

I just wanted to make sure.

hope sc can give u the answer for this

I believe they did nothing despite you lodged in complaints of anything malfunction / not working..

I did asked for repair on my faulty reverse camera for 2 times at Setapak SC last year.. I only saw the felle from upstairs glass panel he only kept pushing gear lever to reverse and neutral gear many times to test it and opened my bootlid cover, look around wirings with pocket torch light then close it back and drive to car wash bay. Then SA calls me for car ready and as usual their response are "encik cuba reverse camera tu lg utk beberapa hari dulu kalau ada apa2 balik send back to us"

I was like they shouldn't expect my problem magically solved by just looking around the wires only right.. ? They just don't have the willingness and passion of work to find the root of cause problems on their customers vehicle. Naza Kia please wake up and do serious business already.. !!
*
not planning to lodge complaint or what, just to share my experience with u guys here, that fella did open the trunk, minor repair too i guess, then he tested again and it was ok, i saw with my own eyes, now the same eyes see that it is NOT working anymore tongue.gif doh.gif

aiyor.. super glue always create mess and "hard skin" fingers.. !! is it the proper way to remove super glue stain by pouring boiling water on it kasi melt.. ?

anything to stick on car parts accessories should only use acrylic transparent 3M tape.. looks neat and very the strong compared with foam type 3M..

Bro, the wheel alignment usually take some time, as the mechanics will try their level best to do a good job. You should continue to test the car on highway/straight road within 1 to 2 weeks, to observe if there is any improvement. If the alignment continues to be an issue, within 1-2 weeks, please bring it back and the workshop will recheck and rectify for you free of charge.

As for the fuel lid issue, there are some rare occassion, where after the resetting is done, the matter still persist. Sorry that you may have to make another trip over to rectify it. Otherwise, do drop over at any other SC nearby and they would be able to assist you.

is the sc open on sat? if yes i wanna go fix the fuel lid problem, if not i can't refill
