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

Nope, if it is hot/warm air coming out of your air-cond (even after having turned your air-cond settings to cooler settings) then I'd recommend for u to get it checked by an air-cond specialist.

Based on my own and friends' experience..the few advantages of wrapping the air-cond hose would be:
1) air-cond air cools the car faster (this also depends on the UV Tint Film which you use).
2) instead of turning to 21C~23C (i.e. Air-cond temperature degree setting), they now keep the settings between 22C~23C.

Oh..and I'm living in Kelana Jaya, PJ.

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.

Sounds like the brake pump of your vehicle is not working properly OR you may have a faulty brake hose..
It could also be due to damages to your brake pistons, but not so likely because it would require at least 2 or 3 or all 4 brake pistons to be at fault in order for your brake pedal to act this way.

Then again, it could also be as simple as your brake pedals getting stuck to an object at your footwell (e.g. car mat/carpet, ladies shoes, water bottle, etc.).
I know it sounds stupid to some ppl, but sometimes it really is the cause of the problem...just saying wink.gif

The air cond blows warm air accasionly only . Normally I overcome it by lower the temperature then the problem solved.
Any 'side effect " to the airecond system if wrap the host ? if not why Naza/Kia does not do that as it does not cost much ? TQ

Hi guys,

I usually go to Puchong for service and I am planning to test a new place. Can somebody comment on the service centre at Seri Kembangan:

1. Waiting time
2. Lepak place nearby to wait (mamak, etc).
3. Overall service quality.

Thanks in advance.

Guys,

Just a quick update, i just got back from SC at old klang road and they have managed to identify the stabilizer link as the issue. Since my car is 2+3, i opted to get them to repair for rm180 rather than pay the rm200 insurance access fee. Seems like this is a known issue between 50-60k mileage depending on driving, thankfully not to expensive to resolve.

I have been servicing my car since i got it there....

i) If you go early morning u should be able to get it by noon...or go after their lunch hour. Normally i go there at 830am, done by 1230pm.

ii) Lepak place nearby ntg much....the mamak shop also not happening. Unless u get a cab to go to Mines nearby.

iii) So far so good. No issues from my experience servicing there.

can. but not worth to pay rm200 for rm180 item.
unless u ask them to claim both side. rather than paying them 300, u just need to pay 200 for the claim fee.
