My waifu (car registered to her) received call from this number 03-41421161 wanting to do survey on customer satisfation on Kia service hmm.gif . The thing is they declined to conduct survey by phone but wanted to meet in person, sounds fishy, should be scam right? But what i don't understand is how they know we owned a Kia car??? Anyone else experienced this?

Based on the phone number given, the closest number in record is Naza Kia Setapak at 41427000. Ever since Naza Services implemented the SAP system, all customer data uploaded from one SC can now be viewed by all SC nationwide. This is probably where the info could have been picked up. Any phone survey or follow-up courtesy call is normal but asking to meet face-to-face is not.

I also did tumbuk tumbuk, press hard hard on it. mine is at the edge of passenger side. It will solve a little while but still back to square again. I think the HU can open to fix inside, I will step in to sc and let them have a look.

Do update here if you manage to get it fixed by opening the HU. laugh.gif

PJ Red cube, tumbuk tumbuk your car?  shocking.gif , surprise how they solve the issue. Anyway if you have a sunroof then mostly underpower is not a main issue for you. As only 2.0 have sunroof if not mistaken. Different engine la bro.

Yes! sweat.gif I also shocked but now sound less noticeable. Didn't hear it during start up nowadays. Yup mine is 2.0, so far feel the car is great. thumbup.gif

Asking for anyone polish their dashboard? which brand of internal polish is good? i try not to buy those oily type where once you wipe, you see a layer oil and hence the obvious oil layer with the non-polish area. (You know our dashboard area near the wiper area, it's almost unreachable with out a tool, so mostly that is the non-polish area brows.gif )

Please do share if anyone polish their car by own effort as well, plan to polish my car since it's been nearly 4 months, the original "shiny" from the clear coat need a boost. smile.gif

Where you did your coating earlier? Yeah anyone here did coating and polish please share experience. wink.gif

I'm using Meguiar's ultimate protectant for my dashboard and trim and black parts of the car i.e the rubber portions. It's good but quite challenging to use, but clearly a huge difference between areas that have had it applied and those that did not.

My car is over 1 year old and haven't had the need to polish. In general, unless there's a significant build up of gunk..tree sap etc, there should not be a need to polish it too quickly, maybe once a year or so if you feel the shine has deteriorated. To that end I'd normally do a clay on it rather than just polish.

If you are to polish it, bear in mind if would be taking a very thin layer of your clear coat with it. So you'd have to wax it right after. Don't just polish.

Ah, yes. The deep press on pedal and not moving but just engine roars. I think i might know the issue as i tried to play on manual and auto. Actually manual is totally not fun to play with since on 1-2nd gear is basically no pickup feel, and 3rd gear at 3000 rpm u only hit 40km/h doh.gif

Back to the deep press experience issue, as i found out, since the gear needs to shift from 1-2-3 and onwards, giving that basically 10-15km/h the gear shift to 2nd and during the shift in Auto, i notice there's a feel of "release gear" and "enter next gear", during this gap, suddenly the pedal you press is all just like you are on neutral and press pedal, hence no power. The engine is CVT and should have a smooth auto gear shift, but there is a 0.5sec where the "shift" appears, the pedal press is "Nuetral" so u see rpm flies to 4k - 5k but no movement. Plus the car 1st gear is about 10km/h and then shift 2nd gear, to about 20-30km/h then 3rd. So it's quite low and really not much to accelerate. 40km/h you should already on 3rd gear in auto. Try play manual and you'll see that the rpm on 1,2, 3rd gear, even if you press on 2nd gear, it won't bring u much pickup but only at 30-40km/h your engine roars like a lori. sweat.gif

Above is just my experience and guess on how my gear shift and test for trying to pick up using 1st and 2nd gear.

Btw, i accidently fill my car with Vpower racing RM2.80 per litre, instead of 97 doh.gif . Results ? the car gives better respond for 1st and 2nd gear pickup. Way better than using 95 where you have to "wait" the car to move while other cars beside you already pickup till 2 cars away from u.    biggrin.gif

You don't seem to be very familiar with your car's performance or you are just not very experienced with driving (don't be offended). It's not that slow and no power of your car, only your foot must be too light on the pedal and not pushing your car. You will feel the same thing even with other powerful car with the way you drive. I am a K3 owner, and the only thing agreeable from your finding is that, the auto shift will shift to the next gear only it exceeds 5km/h, e.i. 1st gear will shift to 2nd when speed exceeds 15km/h, 2nd will shift to 3rd when more than 25km/h......5th to 6th when beyond 65km/h. And it will decelerate in the same manner. You can easily find this out by using the Paddle Shift mode, observing the gear positions and speed displays on the meter. I was using Waja (4 -speed) before K3, and I find K3 (6-speed, not CVT) is much more powerful and swifter than Waja. I like speeding and overtaking but with full caution and concern of safety and quick reaction. You won't believe my K3 can outpower the VW 1.6 red Hothatch Polo. One day I was trailing a few slow moving cars on the interstate federal roads, there came a red Hothatch Polo overtaking me, trying to show off or what and suddenly cut into my lane because of oncoming cars, shocking me and I could have bumped into him was I not cautious and reactive enough that moment. It really pissed me off. A while later when the Polo did overtaking again, I just followed up close. When we cleared out from the road bend, seeing it's all clear ahead, I pressed my -ve (down shifting) paddle shift twice and pressed down the throttle pedal, I heard an exciting sport zoom from my rear exhaust, and easily my baby surpassed the red bitch which was trying hard to catch up but sadly left behind. When I looked at the meter, the gear position was 5th while the speed was 150km/h. I think the Polo driver felt defeated and down spirited and never came near behind me again even I slowed down. One more thing Ron 95 is good enough for our car, no need RON 97 unless you have plenty to spend.

Dun believe this...
150kmh at 5th gear is slow if catching up people...
Usually I use 3rd gear at 160kmh...

You could be right, 3rd gear could hit up to 160 km/h as per spec and 5th could go close to 200km/h. Perhap that moment I eased down on my throttle pedal after finding the Polo could no way catch me up. What this says, Polo hatch is not a great performance car as claimed. Or maybe that driver is slow in action.

I would concur with this perspective. In general our engine's power comes mainly at the top end (between 4k - 6k RPM). The lower ones are probably tuned for average driving. If I intend to overtake or drive somewhat aggressively the paddle shifters come in handy. The RPM will fly, and so will the car

Well, guess i am not a racer. Just average city driver. The fact i don't speed till 150 on 5th gear nor i reach and hold on 6k RPM during drive shows i am a light pedal presser. Normally within 4K RPM is basically my range, unless i wants to over take.

And Perror does have a point for some cars are powerful from 0-100km/h, and some are from 80-160km/h. Anyway, since i am not a tech guy or big fav fan of car tech, so i speak as a "car user" feel/experience only.
