Alright guys... where to find silicone wiper for this Forte? my friend asked me... sweat.gif

I think anyone selling silicone wiper can provide it, as long as you give him/her the correct wiper size.
I got mine (for other model, not forte) from LYN seller. Try look at garage sell.

Hi guys. Some of you might have seen this from various FB pages. But I guess, I'll share this sad news here as well.

A Forte owner (and also our fellow club member) has passed away in an accident at Jambatan Kerteh. His car went into the river.

Please drive safely and carefully everybody!

just to seek for opinions:

Example:
number of service scheduled:
1st service on 10k, 2nd service on 20k, 3rd service on 30k, etc

but when reaching the due date of service, mileage are far less than it scheduled:
let say 1st service 5k, 2nd service 10k, 3rd service maybe 15k, 4th service 20k...

so, when go for service as scheduled, shall follow servicing as "number" or "mileage"??
if follow number, then on 3rd service (which mileage only 15k) already do major service as 30k.

Follow the number of times you went to service.

If 3rd time means 20k service, no matter what your mileage is. Rule is to service the car every six months, regardless of your current mileage.
*
yes, agree service car every six month as scheduled.
Just for the packages/items of service, taken your above example, 3rd service take 20k package or the 10k package (assuming mileage ard 10k at the time).
I believe 20k package should be cost more than 10k service package.

hmm.gif as long as service on time, doesn't matter which package we choose right? --> not follow their "recommended package"

i dont understand.  laugh.gif

5k interval if u using semi syn oil
10k interval if u using fully syn oil.

mine using fully syn petronas 3000 oil. so change every 10k la.

not sure answered your inquiry or not. lol.

thanks for reply. Scenario is like this:
it's time to service the car, which is 3rd service. According to the maintenance/service package, the service is for 15k/20k mileage (can't remember).
in fact, the mileage only ard 10k. So, should proceed with their 15k/20k service package, or ask for 10k package (mean by mileage)?
which options will you guys go for?
I believe which ever we choose, it doesn't affect on the warranty, am I right?

if i get it right, your date service time come earlier than your mileage service time. its time for 3rd service but your ODO is only 10k.
correct?  laugh.gif

better ask the service centre.
Motorman, can explain?

I'm sure those who are driving 2.0 would have been very satisfied with the extra power + pick up over 1.6. IMHO, FC should not be a concern as long we enjoy the drive.
Besides, you can drive confidently knowing your car has got extra 'pecut' when you really need it to chiong on certain occasions  cool2.gif

totally agree with you thumbup.gif

Hi sifus..

Need advise. Drove Forte almost 1 year and need to renew my road tax..

1. Have to buy the allianz insurance since warranty is under 2+3 years?
2. Doesn't need to renew through SC? Outsider agents will do?

Whats the different between Original Malaysia with Korea?

I guess:

RM1000 local - buatan M'sia, not specific design for NAZA/KIA
RM1300 original made in Malaysia - buantan M'sia for NAZA/KIA
RM1600 original made in Korea - buantan Korea, import masuk for KIA

Just want to know, does anyone of you having issue with the windshield water hose (not sure with the correct term)?
The water didn't spray out or spray low, can't even reach the windscreen and after sent for service and repaired, this issue come again (after 2 - 3 months).
Is this thing so easily get damaged? never have such issue with other cars even almost 10 years.
Will ask them during my visit of service maintenance next month.

Steps to Troubleshoot:

1) Check the water level of the Wiper Water Reservoir (WWR).
2) Check to ensure that the hose (the thin one connecting the WWR to the Nozzles) are not kinked/clipped/punctured (quite a common occurrence).
3) Use a sewing needle OR safety pin, of normal thickness, to clear the Nozzle heads.
4) If all else fails, it either means that your WWR electric pump is faulty OR something has gotten stuck somewhere in between the WWR and the Nozzle.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the helps.

Step 1, yes, I always checked.
Step 2, I will double confirm again on this.
Step 3, I haven't try to "dig" yet as water did spray out just either very low angle or not enough pressure.
Step 4, this one I really have to ask the technician to check.

what I curious was it been fixed for few months and happens again doh.gif
