QUOTE(zerohunter @ Jun 11 2013, 10:21 AM) U are right It broke. The fuel level dropped to 0 suddenly, one service centre said it is very common for fuel gauge to fail after around 70K km, but another Kia workshop say it is not the case. Sent in for checking this morning, fuel pump failed. >< Is it the pump break down or it's scheduled service?  |

QUOTE(siewstl @ Jun 11 2013, 12:58 PM) Do not frighten me. Is it really common ? I am getting worry for driving Forte now. I don't know, I suppose it is not, not much information about this issue in the net. Korean Car Specialist quoted me just over RM900 to replace it. >< |

QUOTE(lingleeyen @ Jun 11 2013, 02:20 PM) Correct me if I am wrong. You are right the car is running just fine except the gauge is showing empty, Low Fuel message comes up everytime starting the car, and it doesn't change after filling up to full. I have a lot of doubt in the guys in Puchong branch, will send it to the Kinrara one for another check before deciding to replace anything. Have driven over 200km since it happened last Sunday, thanks for pointing out the doubtful sides.Gauge is the one which gives you the reading on the dashboard right? Analogue gives reading by a bouyant float on the tank and digital goes by sensor. Even if your gauge failed, you can still use your car. Just that your car's fuel reading will always be zero. Pump is not affected. You will know if your fuel pump failed ma. There will be no fuel going into the engine. Practically, your car will not be able to run. You can still drive to SC? Ada kena con ka? If really only the gauge gone, just change the gauge. This post has been edited by dark.knight: Jun 11 2013, 11:49 PM |

QUOTE(izputra @ Jun 11 2013, 02:02 PM) Fuel gauge failed after around 70k km is not common i believe..unless for Proton cars (speaking from own experience). Thanks, totally makes sense. Will get some 2nd opinions.1 more thing is, fuel pump failed should has nothing to do with the fuel gauge..2 separate system from my understanding (at least for an analog fuel gauge like Forte) (EDITED) |
