Dear Friend
How to test absorbers/suspension system results ? By SC ? Can advise ? Thank you

SC

my forte is 1.6 made in 2010, i dont know what kind of engine oil and transmission fluid are better ?

would u mind to recommend brand and the price?

in my case, i just went to KIA SC Setapak because it's the nearest to my house
both my rear suspensions need to be replaced, however they can only claimed and replace 1 side only at a time. if they change both at a time, then the warranty will be gone

just changed my rear right 'hub' (which got faulty wheel speed sensor that cause the ABS and ESP indicators illuminated all the time). its cost around RM700 (parts + workmanship but currently got 10% discount). lucky it's still covered under warranty

may try syntium 3000(5W-30)

Guys, I have a question here. My Forte already close to 2 years. So far whenever i go service car even though my mileage had pass the suppose service mileage the consultant will help me adjust it. For e.g 50K service if my service show 51K the consultant will help me adjust to 50K. However there is once I go to Kota Damansara branch the fella didn't adjust for me. My service booklet shows 41K. I have spoken to CSL SA he says after 2 year the warranty will be fully handle by insurance company and when they see this it's consider warranty void and my warranty will not be entertain.

1) Is this true?

2) Should I continue send my car to KIA service centre?

Please help...

Many thanks

feel like want to sell my car, seldom use, how do i want to sell last year july forte 1.6sx?
how much i can get, white color, done 17k km.

usage low is owner's lost. Ppl only care about age and maintenance of the car

This car look nice, I wonder why it discontinue. Are there any problem on this car. Planning to get this car but only can find in 2nd hand.

My car is gonna be 4 years old soon, drive shaft starting to make noise (yet to check though with SC) but i asked the price...rm 2k to replace. It's a great car, reliable and doesn't cause problems, but parts are kinda pricey..oh well...

out since 2009....
its normal for a car maker to come out with new design...and new features.

Hi everyone,

I didn't realise this forum is kinda a club page till now lol...was an owner of a 2nd hand forte since January this year

Just would like to ask a question:
One of my headlight bulb has fused (H7), and am wondering which bulb to get...i called up 2 SC, one didn't know what bulb they use o.O, while the other told me there is a standard bulb for RM35, or a Osram Nightbreaker for RM110 (or RM150 i forgot) for a pair..

Which one should I get installed? No labour cost will be charged..

I've also noticed ppl selling philips x-treme vision for RM150 and osram nightbreakers for RM110..

Now the final question is...should i use philips or osram if i don't want the standard bulb? thanks haha

philips....rm28.
friends said clone one...but 5 months now... ok je....

Any established engine oil in the market…
For ATF, u can buy directly frm SC
Sometime they use big tong dram, otherwise 1 ltr bottle
Last I went to KD SC, they use petronas atfxp for 4spd

1. If under allianz, it's true
2. No need

Refer mudah.my

Any car makers in the world, when come to SC for sure pricey one…
As alternative, go kia spare part segambut to find cheaper one…

i'm in penang lol, cannot go to segambut

either one is fine, just don't use the auto headlamps often else within 2 mths confirmed kantoi.. was using HID earlier so didn't bother much and it works fine till today..removed it coz of the stupid ops this ops that to prevent headache for timebeing

haha thanks for the input...i never actually tried auto headlamps before so not sure how it works haha

in the end i went to kia sc to get it changed before the replies came since they have 10% off now for world cup promotion...not high end bulbs though but oh well peace of mind...will change myself next time though to save labour cost :/

It's basically for lazy people or people who always forget to switch on/off their headlights. The sensor is the round button on top of ur dashboard, when the light level of ur surrounding gets dark enough to meet the programmed sensor input, it will trigger the headlamps to turn on by itself. Works very well with HID but not so with halogen bulbs coz too sensitive adi the settings. Imagine pass by shady areas where there are trees, it turns on, after that off, after that on again, after that off. Sure kantoi, hahaha anyways enjoy your ride.

thanks for the info..i see i saw this thing on the dashboard but didn't know it was the sensor lol

anyway, could i ask you a question as you may know the answer...
with all the illegal fancy plates on the street, i'm not sure if mine is as the previous owner had this installed at the back (the front is the normal plate since she broke it)...

do you think this is compatible? i can't find any decent information online or even on the jpj website as they only give the measurements..i went to jpj near my place and they told me to go to the wangsa maju branch to check instead " they don't even know themselves...

P/S: sorry i zoomed in to show the font clearer

Attached thumbnail(s)

i think ur fonts already spoke for itself..they said somehow the only legal ones are the 'mahjong' type of fonts...urs, i would deem they want to force you to pay also u can't say anything ...its always them who calls the shots...and yes, forgot to add on, look how close the letters are next to each other...

you have 2 choices

1) just play dumb until u get flagged down then start acting innocent and promise you will take it off by telling them oh, i just bought over this car actually, i will get it changed immediately as i didn't know its illegal (your chances are 50/50 )

2) quickly go change to the ugly font types that you can see on most forte's otr.

they can find fault with you no matter what...as long as your tints are not super dark, or bodykits scream 'LOOK AT ME I'M SO HAWT' probably they will let you off the hook, but as far as your picture shows, its not the usual type of letterings used for sure
