hye guys..i just brought an used 2011 forte 1.6 EX. after inspection by my pomen. he said the car has been involved in accident on front right side. because the was a "ketuk" mark at the right fairing but nothing major on the engine and the frame. the condition still good. so i just suspect the collision was not so great. so, here's my concerned.

how we gonna know that the collision never activate the airbag and how to check the airbag are still there?

and 1 more thing, i just change headlamp bulb due to they already blow when i pickup the car. but the new bulb only last for about 1 hour. then the left side blow. now only right side tinggal. i already check the previous comment and i see that this is a common prob. but izzit common the bulb only last 1hour? if i wanna change what type and brand do you recommend?

Guys,

Need your advice here.

i have just passed my 3rd service, i.e. 1 year.

Should I go back to the Kia SC to service my car or can I just go to normal workshop?

Also, can i use lower grade oil rather than the expensive premium used by SC?

Thanks alot.

if you want warrant and take good care of your engine. Stick to manufacturer advice

Wow! That's good to know.
Pls do share the price of the Yoko batt once u have them and also where they come from (i.e. - local Malaysian made or imported from somewhere else).

Also (as bad as this may sound like I'm trying to turn u into a lab rat) pls try and check to see if the Yoko batts fit onto the Forte's batt base plate/holder smile.gif

AFAIK, all Yoko batt is local make. Their factory is in semenyih

If you have the patch file and how to turn your HU to boot format sure you can upgrade/downgrade the firmware yourself, else DIY might kill the HU

Hi Guys, I understand that this is a Forte forum and I'm basically coming in as a Cerato owner, but we're both under Naza and was hoping to get you guys to help share my plight with regards to poor after sales service by Naza KIA. Hope you guys don't mind, and do let me know if this is out of bounds and I'd be more than glad to delete this post. Just hoping to get more shares and eyeballs on the matter.

I had a pretty bad experience with KIA after sales services today. My 3 month old Cerato had an engine oil leak since a month ago. The SC at Seri Kembangan wiped off the leak and after that it could not be found again. Naza HQ technical people took a look at it and also could not find the leak.

They asked to have my car inspected by a Korean engineer which after spending only 10 or so minutes on the car, decided that there is no leak and that there's no issue, despite the photographic evidence of the leak!

So after everything is said and done, they did not do anything and just flatly say there is no problem and asked me to continue to drive my car...and if anything...we have a 5 year warranty. And I asked, if my car were to run out of engine oil in some unknown location with no KIA dealership or SC, how. They say "No worries, we have towing service!". Clearly they don't know the amount of potential inconvenience that would come up should something like this happen.

Needless to say I'm pretty pissed off with them having wasted my time. The tidak apa attitude is even more disappointing (trying to mince my words here).

Hoping to share with you guys my experience below and hope to trouble you all to re share and spread the word so that Naza takes a look at this matter seriously rather than sweep it under the carpet like this. And potentially for all of us as well in the future should our cars <touch wood> need some serious attention. The final hope is really that they improve on their after sales service.

Thanks in advance everyone! smile.gif

Sorry to hear about the case but I am more interested to know about it...

1. Can i know what is the mileage of your 3 months old car now?
2. Did you buy the car from AZ the dealer coz of free 3 years service and freebies etc (Sa approach thru approach) ?
3. When was you 1st found of the leak how long AFTER that then only you go to SC (i presume its AZ SC), and they just wipe it off and let you go ? Did you go into the working area and SHOW them the leak ?
4. The Naza HQ person you refer to, are they coming to AZ SC or you go to another SC (If yes which one is it) ?
5. After the INITIAL wiped until now , how long edi and is there still leak at the same spot ?
6. Did you leave your car there before hand prior to let the Korean engineer (btw my experience tell they are very bad in english - almost can't communicate at all)

Hi g88, sure thing, hopefully the below gives a clue about the car. Hopefully some insights would arise. The leak is basically on the rear side of the engine, facing the firewall. Leak went down that side of the engine and onto the drive shaft and subframe.
*
If no leak is not more spotted, seriously its hard to 'argue'....my advice is that do consistently keep an eye on the same spot which you suspect/saw leak previously, once it happen again go back to SC asap and bag their table.
