Honestly, price is cut throat.. but the pros is we get ori parts.
Very well noted. I'll drop by to check then, nearest should be Segambut. Honestly there is a significant difference between ori and OEM. I drive proton also I use ori parts. Can very much feel it. 

Neway, thanks for the replies guys.. appreciate the spirit.. 

another quick question,

plan to change my tire to michelin ps3, was quoted RM520 per piece for 17", is the price reasonable??

Just send any w/shop u trust... I send it at Sg Buloh area... but parts I bought myself...

Sapa kata KIA spare part mahai...

I owned the 6 speed . The aircond is not too cold.My friend also complain the same issue.  Air cond distribution for Back seat passengers not very good.
Tyres noisy and also low quality sound insulation materials used. Warm driver leg area (can feel engine heat)  & Hot rear boot (due to exhaust below)
Apart from that, no issue so far.

Wrapping with solve the issue of hot aire from our forte aircond ? Where is your location ?

Anyone knows which SC in Klang Valley attend to issues (brake issue in my case, when I hit the brake, occasionally the pedal doesn't bounce back to the original position) on a weekend?

I called up a few SC but they don't attend to matter like these on weekends. Such a hassle.

Received called from SC to go back for car wiring checking. Something to do with the air con. They said it's instructed by Kia HQ. Anyone here received such call from SC?

Freaking nightmare dealing with Naza Kia SC. Bloody incompetent people. Remember my brake issue that I mentioned couple of pages back? Turns out to be brake servo need replacing on a 8 month old car. QC at its best.

Car was bought under AZ so they have 3 first service discount package which you only need to pay 20% of the engine oil. Sounds good? Distance from house to AZ is about 35 KM (ok what since I can get around RM 60 shaved off my service bill if I service with AZ). My biggest regret is servicing with them.

Sent my car to Glenmarie (which is less than 5 KM from my house). They checked and told me that in their system, my 1K & 10K services was recorded as (1k & 20K) by AZ. They can't claim warranty for me because in the system, the warranty is void due to skipping 10K service despite showing them service receipts.

Now, I need to send back the car to AZ which is miles away to let them check and drive back (or put there which is not an option because I need to use the car) because they do not have brake servo in stock. They need to take out, document it and send for warranty claims.

After the stock arrived (which no one could estimate the duration, might be weeks meanwhile continue driving with failing brake servo), I need to drive there again for replacing.

I see manual, its not working.any idea what should I do next.

to replace my old car =)

I would say a mix of the above. i usually try avoid city drive. I hate jam !! When i drive to the city i will make sure it have less or minimum jam.   
agreed, the 2.0 should have better pick up & xtra power.
Should consider highway 70 - 30. as i stay in sg buloh. XD
They have full kia service record

So taking the 2.0 would be a better for getting xtra hp, theta engine ?

Dear Sifu,
How many filter to ? I bought it for R36.00 but inside got 2 filters . When I take out the old one ,only find 1 pc. That meant only change 1 pc only ? Thank you

Hi guys,

Just looking for some advice.

Am reaching 50K soon (2 yrs) and will need to change my stock Silverstone Atlantis tyres. Hv survey the following tyres:

Michelin PS3 - was quoted RM 425 per piece (somewhere in Kota Kemuning). dont know whether old stock or not. Sound very cheap.
Michelin Premacy 3ST - was quoted RM 390 per piece by same shop. Ask a few shops also cannot get this pricing. Is it too cheap? Scare either old stock or "fake"?
Continental MC5 - was quoted RM 360 per piece.
Yokohama CD2 - was quoted around RM 340 per piece

If Premacy 3ST price of RM 390 is true thinking of taking it over MC5. What u guys think? If given preference of the above 4 tyres. Am looking for something better than Atlantis with good noise reduction / comfort and reasonable performance over wet condition. Not into the speed thing so performance not that important. Safety and comfort is better.
Another thing I seem to detect that if I were turn my steering all the way when negotiating a roundabout, I seem to hear some harsh some. It is not loud but I nvr hear it b4. Have u guys experience it? What could it be? It sounds like some thing rub against something sound. Like friction sound.

TQ.

I'm not sure until this point. Got no time to check as of now. Will bring my car to outside workshop owned by an ex-NazaKia service technician. Hopefully he will know the cause & able to solve it

true...lol yeap adjusting back to msian policy..they always can say what they want with their own rules and regulations

anyway to everyone:

i went to kia SC yesterday to change the bulb...they tested my battery too (since it's free with some promotion) but i didn't ask for it...
so happen right after that my car had problem starting...i brushed it off and drove away..

today it happened again..
thus i went back again to ask about it, also because my lamp wasn't placed properly...and they told me my batt has to be changed..

i guess i agree it has been so long and the previous owner probably hasn't change it since she bought it in 2011, but what are the chances of it failing right after they check it? "
good thing they don't have battery stock atm...i'll just change somewhere else probably cheaper haha

any ideas what may have caused this?

thanks for the info
i checked the fasteners they're all tight..
am looking around for batt now..
model 55d23l i think (from the info here haha), price range around RM250 i think...

waiting for the yokohama price...my aunt's neighbour works for them haha

Meant for the non-mechanically inclined reader, the checklist below highlights some potential problem areas to look out for in the limited time you have to examine a used car. Remember to inspect the car in broad daylight and not in the evening or at the night. A tip from the pros: Putting a Piece of cardboard under the engine after the test drive will help show fluid leaks. By the time, you have gone through the checklist, you should know the condition of the car at least as well as the owner does.

Exterior Inspection

Are door edges rusty or torn?
Do the doors, bonnet, and trunk open and close freely? (Problems here may indicate previous accident)
Are bumpers dented or rusty? Are they level?
Is the paint on the different panels of the same shade?
Is there any rust or hole at the bottom of the trunk and side wells?
Are the rubber parts and seals cracked?
Are tires bald or cracked or bulging?
Are the rims rusty, bent or cracked? Are they all the same?
Are any headlamps or signal lamps broken or cracked?
Is the exhaust system rusty?

Engine Inspection

Is the engine clean?
Has the engine been modified? If yes, why?

Go over a few bumps. Is the suspension okay?

Post-Drive Inspection

Most important of all, check that the chassis and engine numbers tally with those in the registration book. One last piece of advice: Never ever buy a used car on impulse-shop around.
