QUOTE(rompers @ Aug 6 2013, 04:43 AM) See below comments  Bro, does BHP cause any engine knocking? I noticed that Shell and Petronas induces quite a fair bit of engine knocking from my car, but not Petron. Caltex is also pretty good in terms of engine knocking, but not as good as others in terms of mileage-per-litre. Pls advice:) I so far have not felt any engine knocking with BHP, but except once. One particular BHP station I pumped for RM 30. I cannot remember which station. It is not my regular. In fact, I have not felt engine knocking with any other petrol. This car have only tried blue P, BHP and Caltex. I like Caltex, but it is not cenvenient to go at all.

QUOTE(rompers @ Aug 8 2013, 05:41 PM) Thanks for sharing. My experience was that I've been using Shell RON95/97 & Petronas RON95, and there's engine knocking (the soft but distinct helicopter sound was actually the engine pinging). I have now switched to Petron(Esso) RON95, and am happy to report that there's no more engine knocking. I'll give Petron a couple more tries before attempting BHP. PS - I kind of limit myself to a few stations only because I've got OCD and every time after I fuel up, I'll want to wash my hands with soap before driving off, hence I'll only go to stations with such 'facilities'.  Bro, keep a bottle of water in the car with dettol wet tissue. I keep those in car to wash off bird poop. You just need a bigger bottle.

QUOTE(yewkuan6891 @ Aug 8 2013, 09:05 PM) Multilink? I though the rear suspension for Kia Forte is Coupled Torsion Beam Axle?  Ya. Forte using torsion beam. What I am trying to say is the pothole did something to the suspension. Either the mounting, or absorber. Spring hardly goes wrong right? Spring might be dislocated. So look for a good mechanic, rectify and change if required. This post has been edited by lingleeyen: Aug 8 2013, 11:40 PM

QUOTE(Maxsimax @ Aug 13 2013, 08:23 PM) Guys, Another noobie question from me.....my tyre is stock Atlantis V7. Wanna know the recommended tyre pressure? Thanks. 32psig for all tyres. If you pump in petrol station, set at 33psig in order to get 32 psig. Don't believe? Set it at 33, pump to 33, then poke the inflator again and immediately read the gauge. It will read 32.

QUOTE(boxter @ Aug 14 2013, 04:35 PM) just feeling before and after...cant feel significant different... mayb u r rite...need to change absorbers to improve comfort feel when pass through uneven road... Stiff ring makes your subframe more solid. When it goes through uneven road, the emptiness is filled by the stiff ring. In the other words, stiff rings make the whole ride more solid. If you look under the car, there is a gap in between the sub frame. The bolts and hole has a big gap. Hence subframe movement is more rigid.

QUOTE(sathyendran @ Aug 14 2013, 04:43 PM) If you have the budget you can change absorbers, but for cheaper option try spring buffers, UR BARS to improve comfort and handling. Before anything, consider changing rim to 16". Absorber change can wait.

They say you sayang the car more than you sayang them. So if it is your money you are using, sorry baby, I am using my own money to hitch my mistress. I am asking for your opinion, not making my decision. Have money, go for cerato 2.0. No fair la you put Forte 2.0 and cerato 1.6 side by side.

QUOTE(wenkiat84 @ Aug 15 2013, 09:21 AM) I had the same dilemma but I opted for Forte 2.0 at last due to the supremacy in engine power. Tested the Cerato 1.6 but somehow I feel it is slightly underpowered, especially when you start moving from a static position. No doubt the Cerato is a nice car with slightly more features than Forte but the price hike is too much (I know it's a C-Segment car, cannot be compared to City or Vios). Maybe we Malaysians are used to the Forte's price and when there is a sudden price hike of >20%, we feel that it's not reasonable for Naza to do that. So, in the end of the day, it's your choice whether to go for Forte 2.0 or Cerato 1.6. I had made my decision, and you? Good luck bro! LIKE.

And what they will do to your dashboard to solve this problem? i am afraid they will take out the whole thing, later more loose...>.<"... I have that too. Ocassionally. When she is not happy. So some members slot in rubbers in between dashboard and wind screen. Try that first. Taking out dashboard there is a risk of making it worse. You will need to leave the car there for 2 days.

QUOTE(Maxccy @ Aug 15 2013, 01:04 PM) This is how I have my Music continue playing. 1. Select all music file to play from USB pendrive. (whole bunch of song appear) 2. Play the music as it is. 3. Before shut down engine, press "Home" button and press "radio" 4. While your radio start playing only shut down your engine. The next time you start your engine, radio will play then you just switch back to Music Player. Tadaaa music continue from the time you switch to radio.  No need to do step 3. Before you turn off engine, go to songs, click on X. Turn off the HU. The song will play the next time you play those songs. But the next time you turn on the HU, plug in the USB first before you click Songs.
