the key is to open the door when battery weak. when the battery is weak, it would not open the door, but can still start the car.

Sometimes got 'cit cit' sound coming from inside dashboard. Anyone here have this kind of problem?

Bro try search mudah for Lokman from Naza Kia Ampang dealership. Last time he said raya promotion got 8k off for cerato 1.6. And can deal with him for 3 years free service. Hope this helps u. Cheers.

Ok, noted
On another note, my first car service (1st 1000 KM) is on 28 Jan 2014. So for my second service (6 months), should i go BEFORE 28 July or i can go like 1-2 weeks after that? Thanks

There is a ONE month grace period from 28th July or 2000 Km, whichever occur first. Meaning your second service is 6 months or 10,000 Km but before 7 months or 12,000 km (whichever earlier).
Hope that clarifies. Cheers

Dear Rafemccawley,
Thank you for your booking and confirmation. Many thanks for your trust and hope to deliver your car asap!

Wah, that's very good. Thanks Buydirect!

Interested in K3 and Raya promo sounds good deal. Not sure how it gonna compare to coming year end promo; or should i grab it fast now?

Yesterday just booked my K3 1.6 Clear White, hopefully can get it on this week!!!

i booked mine at the exact same outlet.. hopefully nothing goes wrong..

It's a good time to buy. If you wait till year end, you will then want to consider getting a 2015 car instead of 2014, and you may loose one year in terms of the car valuation when you sell off later.

When we send our car for service, can we look at it being service or we should just sit kuaikuaily at the waiting room? If cannot watch, meaning we have to take the word of Kia staff that the car is serviced properly and thoroughly?

Every responsible service center should be practicing this and it is not advisable for customers to enter the service area unnecessarily. Many people may not be aware of the hazards in a service area. So customers safety always come first.
As an example, if you look closely most service mechanic do wear safety boot and they wear it for good reasons.

SAFETY FIRST!!

I've sent my car for 1st service at KIA service batu caves. The waiting room got a mirror where you can see your car being service in the service area. Not sure with other service center.

Having been through my engine oil leak experience, it is very neccesary for end users to always observe their cars whilst it's being worked on. You never know if this would be useful in the future.

Also another thing from my gearbox experience is to always make sure the SC, if they detect any error code, print it out for you and note it down on your record. In my case, the first time the gearbox issue occurred, there was a DTC recorded. Subsequently when it occurred again, there was no DTC. The SC I sent to ask what was the earlier error code. I could not get it back as the SC did not note down the info.

DTC = Diagnostics Troubleshooting Code

Whats the diff on Cerato Kx??

hi fellas...

recently i noticed my Driver's side seat, shakes / jerks a little like (its loose)..when ever i do a sharp corner even at slow speed...

could be something loose...where should i bring it to? SC or the accessory arm at 222...any idea?

Thanks

SC does not encourage owners to be around the service bay for safety reasons but in most cases, they do not prohibit owners who insist on seeing how the servicing is done, if they want to. Some SC may have such prohibition or they may have a disclaimer notice that absolve them from any liabilities in event of any unfortunate accident, as a result of the owner being in the "restricted" area.

Of course, SC would much prefer that they are left by themselves to do the work and not being "supervised." Having said that, it is not to say that SC mechanics would do anything to shortchange the customers while being left alone to carry out their job. It is human nature, that when we are given the space and time, we usually perform better in our work.

And of course, there are occasions, where the presence of the owners at the service bays are necessary to highlight certain issues with regards to malfunction parts or physical imperfection or defects so as to pinpoint the exact problem, hence enabling the mechanics to work directly on those issues.
