I noticed it but I thought it is because I am sitting further back and the front bonet is high...

Will check with SC next service round...

Preface lift model black edition, 108k + acceptable trade in for my previous car. Rejected the offer the first time when the trade in price was 10k below what was acceptable to me.

Think the discount should be bit more aggressive now. Hope it helps with your bargaining.

Ooh... so im not the only one... yea.... i dun intend to use high level light all the time... all i wan is at least able to shine into a safety distance that i can see instead of oni the one car space in front of me... which cant even shine the rear of the front car... the level sufficient to shine the rear of car from distance would be sufficient for me...

From my observation, the light are designed as such because it has a very high bonnet... If you adjust the lights angle, it will make the beam light to be very high... Hence, useless...

Need SC/expert advise to be sure...

I think, my radiator or air cond belt is having the same noisy thingy... Any of you sent it to SC for repair yet?

The noise only came for a few minutes or so then it goes away but lately it is getting louder... Is it a serious thing to watch for?

My better half is making louder and louder noise about this as well...

Time for the exclusive pick up service?

Lately saw the advertisement for Renault Fluence... seems quite receptive.... hopefully have 50% of those ppl hu PM are genuine buyers.... we will have more brothers on the road~!

How long already your car? so far i dont have such radiator fan issue... din reli hear any sound coming from the hood.... except if i rev up my engine lol....

3rd month...

The sound is noticeable, its a harder noise of the belting and you can felt some small vibration from inside the car. I tried to look out for any wear and tear visibly but nothing so far.

Yeah, my relatives are also complementing the looks and when I told them the price, package and that its a Nissan engine, they say its a steal...

So far its my fifth month, didn't notice any sound or vibration.... and yea its not usual to vibrate and have any sound for this car also.... its so silent normally that you will notice something wrong if sounds reli come out.... maybe you need to refer to the SC for further checking....

My first 10k or 6 months still long way to go, I want to keep on to it a while longer... See if it is just a weather effect or real problem...

Hehehe...

Finally, found out the sound is coming from the exhaust pipe, at the rear side. Still, I cannot see what or where it is coming from, even after taking a video with selfie stick.

If I go to SC now, will they take away my free service claim?

My Fluence is still at 6k or 3 months, is it worth it?


Update: The aluminum cover that is making the noise... Probably damaged or touched by road bump... I adjust the aluminum cover and the sound is gone... Phew...

It is a very common issue. Heat shield position slightly dislocated, most likely caused by splashing when the car runs over puddle of water.
You can DIY yourself easily next time. It always happens to my car during rainy season.

Now that you mentioned it, we did run over some deep pool of water a few weeks back. Thanks.

Wow, thanks for the heads up~

I think the free service wont be void, since this things should be under warranty as well, its just that you need to pay for the labour charge for repairing it maybe....

FYI, the aluminum cover is one massive thing down there... It almost covers the whole exhaust system.

I wonder how long will it last...

I think i saw it in mazda 3 thread before.... none of the owner complaint about the aluminum shield before.... so i think it should be ok... unless you use your car for 4wd drive purposes... lol.... did you try driving in manual mode before?

how was the 10k, 20k etc service charge? is it very expensive? TQ

The complete maintenance schedule & pricelist is available on official website http://fluence.com.my/
I am on 5 years free maintenance package so I not sure whether the price list is valid or not.

"5 years free maintenance package" ,meaning dont need to fork out a single cents when service? wow, thats a great deal
