Is your tire overinflated? When i received my 2014 altis i had similar feeling, steering is floaty and 'too sensitive ', slight unevenness in the road can change steering. I later discovered my tires were over inflated to 320 kpa(!!). Once i reduced it to the recommended pressure the floaty sensation is gone

On a related note, any new altis owners encounter having your car delivered to you with over inflated tire pressure? Mine is a 2.0 V. Car was delivered to me with tires at 320 kpa. The max pressure limit on the sidewall of the tires are stated at 340 kpa, but the recommended tire pressure indicated on the driver side door entrance is at 220 kpa. I drove like this for 2 weeks and only after consulting my friends about the floaty/over sensitive steering, then i realised that the tires were over inflated. Just wondering if its standard operating procedure for new cars to be delivered at such high tire pressures

i just checked, overall 28-32 psi when cold, seems ok to me.

got any altis specialist to recommend? maybe let them try then can know whether it's normal, but need highway speed which is hard to test-out also.

any place ada good deal for 1.8 now..

Yup, new cars usually have tyres inflated higher during delivery. Same with my 1.8 back tyres are over inflated, but I check the tyres same day I received my car.

I check my car tyres when i collect my car, front 240 back 240, so i lower down to front 220 rear 210 follow the label sticker beside driver door.

For coating, a friend of mine recommended a coating specialist at Sunway ; http://www.shinenshield.com/contact.html.. might be going there next weekend.

Congrats bro
May do some research on GGuard, it's not bad

i do own altis 9th gen before it is 1.8G 2nd facelift. Are you 1.6 or 1.8 because tyre both of this is different. Why dont you go to SC and service your power steering. After i done this my steering feel sharp and less vibrating when go to uneven road.

mine is 1.8 facelift version with the 16" tyre.
what they did on power steering servicing? is it replace the power steering fluid? i've done that for the 1st service after getting the car.

For those who are unaware on the new tint ruling for car. Here are the picture illustrations of the new rules. Effective date 1st November 2014.

Anyone can answer me?

Coating = you pay wax money upfront.

Personally , I prefer to go to wash & wax. Wax everytime cost RM59 , with RM1.4K .... you count lo how many times you can wax. Let say 1 year wax 4 times = RM260. if you were to spend Rm1.4K , then 5 years ++ for the wax cost.

Just my personal opinion la

Hi all I'm very happy with the car. But lately I'm hearing some weird noises from inside of the radio. I pinpoint it to the DVD player of my car. The screen is making the squeaking sound when on uneven roads. I try pushing the screen a bit and the sound stops if Iet go of the screen the sound is back. Anyone having this problem? Any solution for this guys? And also I didn't get the service booklet? Doesn't the altis cakes with a service booklet? Please help.
