You know the valve you poke when you inflate your tyre? Your current one us rubber. They will change to steel with 10 bucks each. So total 4 tyres is RM 40. Tyre each is 440. Size is 215/45/17. Ketuk rim means they fix the rim for you if they have found out that the rim bengkok.

Very important as some of the member kena potong. Tyre price OK, but once they have took out the tyre and found out that the rim bengkok, they charge 80 per rim. At that time you are already on chopping board because tyre already on your rim, all 4 rims already detach. The 35 is just for normal bengkok. If split of 'pecah' means another price la.

yeah thats why i always try to stick to shop that i biasa if the price difference is acceptable

u dono what trick they do, it is really hard to survive a business these days blush.gif

Guys I have weird question if anybody know. Let say my parents fully paid my new car but everything is under my name but I still need pay them back just to avoid giving bank interest. Will I get fine or anything if income tax question me?
*
no just tell them its ur parent money, and your parent just have to prove they can have that much money.

better put 50%-70% or even 90% downpayment and take 3 years loan.

Bro Dvinez, you meant that we (FORTE owners of certain year batches) can request for a change of the AIR-COND Compressor even it is working well (except for some suspected noise)?

Please icon_question.gif
If what you are saying is true, I'll want to get a new compressor too coz I heard a few other FORTE owners were experiencing faulty compressors after 2yrs of ownership sad.gif
just send ur car to sc, make noise and they will do it for you. if u are lucky it is something loose near exhaust area only. read on oversea forte forum before, oversea got a memo for that but maresia no have. cry.gif

mine almost 2 year i will claim apa yang boleh and apa yang no syok, before extended warranty come into effect. lol laugh.gif

Oh no!
My Forte is now plagued by the 'Helicopter' sound syndrome.

Situation where the helicopter sound occurs:

1) During acceleration of the vehicle (at low RPM range: between 1K to 2.5K RPM mark)

2) Accelarating/Revving the engine whilst stationary (gear shift in Neutral mode) at the same RPM range.

NOTE - I've tried revving/accelerating with both the Air-Cond turned on & off. As such, I'm not entirely convinced that this is an Air-Cond Compressor issue sad.gif

My conclusion:
It shouldn't be the stabilizer link as te helicopter sound can be heard even during stationary throttle revs.
However, I've yet to be able to pinpoint the exact cause of the sound/noise.

Anybody has any other opinions? icon_question.gif
*
mine tested stationary/handbrake/p, press press pedal oso no sound come out, tested with ac on/off.
only got sound when moving with ac on, for maybe too soft until i cannot hear when ac off.
read from forte forum, there is some heat shield or something near exhaust is loose, oversea got memo for that sweat.gif
