Dear all, please recommend me a good mechanic to service a 1st gen forte (4 gear), or most of the 1st gen owners will buy parts and service at their usual mechanics?

Nothing major  tongue.gif 51k mileage service. My car is almost 4 yrs old and under utilized. I want to maintain it condition and do not want to simply send to a irresponsible mechanic. Imagine I got quoted with using OEM Proton Waja parts (a/c filter, mineral oil filter, front & back absorber, front & back brake pads) I have no confidence at all...  sad.gif  Thats why I'm asking if I can get a mechanic who can settle everything using ori KIA parts and not too far from my work place (kota damansara) or home (setia alam) If final verdict is to go and get parts listed at 1st page then look for mechanics then I have to.  wink.gif

the korean car mates...? tried?

4yrs...51k....
mine just over 2 yrs..already 67k.... sweat.gif

need some info... sad.gif

these few days, i happen to hear some "kuk kuk kuk" (continuously) during slow speed ( 20kmh -30kmh) from tyre area (suspect it from right side). some time can be heard by passenger at the back. mostly heard when going over bump or hole.
the sound is like u hit your finger to back of your keyboard. nod.gif

any idea what might that be? hmm.gif

*none during speed above 50kmh. i think because road noise is greater..

i experienced similar thing before. apparently the body assembly at the back was not tight/fit, result in some loose part. MPV batu caves managed to settle the problem.

noted.
i think still need to go sc for verify.

Ic..hurm how did they decide that warranty void or not??any idea how they calculate the mileage??
*
mileage of cos base on your ODO.
they will chk your service record..any late service record will result to VW.
if all clear then of cos next they will go to your mod(s). these is based on their judgement la.
if all ok...can claim la.

maybe still got something in between which i dont know...then i dont know. sweat.gif
