planning to get a second hand 2.0. just wondering if there's any differences between the version with  smaller HU display and the bigger one? i mean beside the HU display, what else is different?

and is there any reason to get 1.6 rather than 2.0?
*
The small HU is the first batch CBU units from Korea. The big HU are CKD. There is no other difference apart from the head unit.

wonder anyone did the tyre rotation exactly like the manual guide?

asked the tyre shop do like that, gave me a very weird look and say never did that before. Says normally rotate 4 tyre while keeping the same spare tyre in trunk...
*
To rotate the spare tyre along with the 4 other tyres, you need to do it very frequently so that all the tyres wear at more or less the same rate and are even. However, this is not very practical because many of us don't visit the tyre shop on regular basis.

Still keeping my complete unopened set of original custom fit KIA K3 carpet mat, total of 5 pieces.
That time just got the car and immediately upgraded to new carpet by myself at outside accessories shop.
Let me know if anyone interested to get the original carpet mat .... icon_idea.gif
*
Maybe by keeping the original carpet, it can add value to your car should you decide to sell it off someday? Most buyers would prefer all original parts of the car are provided for , even when buying a used car.

Do 1.6 and 2.0 cerato have very noticeable difference in terms of performance and power?
*
Yes, there is definately a difference in the power and torque.
However, to some users, 1.6 to them is already sufficient. To others , 2.0 give them the extra power they need for their spirited driving style. As such there is no one shoe fits all when it comes to power requirement. Suggest you do a test drive to gauge for yourself.

I'm interested to trade-in my Polo Sedan 1.6 for pre-facelift used k3 cerato 2.0.. I would like to know:
1. Is the car problematic? Any common defect such as steering rack issue on Forte 2.0?
2. Is 2.0 also affected with idle engine vibration?
3. How's fuel consumption? Able to reach 11km/litre on city driving or not?

Thanks.

Will PM the best deal to you. Thanks

Conti UC6 for better comfort and quieter ride than MC5?

QUOTE(lauyah @ Nov 28 2017, 02:38 PM)
I too was very eager to get one myself. Was in the FB group for few months.
Typical complain, weak battery and steering knocking sound and sometimes fuel cover cannot open.
Apart from that, there are few different issue with the car which doesnt make your car undrivable.
New or second hand, very much depends on luck. There a new post bout getting a lemon unit, which has to replace some parts and have to wait for long time.
So yeah, their SC suck. Probly not wise to get a new one for that reason.
*
I suppose there is no perfect car, each would have its weakness. But generally, K3 has so far proven to be reliable and value for money with all the specs thrown in and at sub 90K pricing with Free 3 years service, it is worth every car hunter's consideration.

Hi everyone. Sort of an accumulation of solutions to problems found on my 1.5 year-old K3.

(1) After searching high and low for about 1.5 years, I finally found the source of a plastic rattling noise in my K3. Initially I thought it was something rattling inside my steering (like a lose plastic vibrating in the steering) because the sound seemed to originate from there. Raising this issue to SC didn't help, as they couldn't replicate (or hear) it. It's the usual "leave your car with us for sometime for us to find it the source of the problem. Labour charges applies". Below is a video that I chanced upon, showing the exact noise that I had in my car (Problem 1: Rattling speaker grill at 0.:17):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVGpq8-PaNA

-I pried open the tweeter speaker grille (locked by plastic clips). http://www.kifomanual.com/speakers_removal-1315.html
-Removed the 2 white clips and added some felt inside the plastic clips before clipping them back on. The felt prevents free-play when the white clips are inserted into the grille.
-Snap the speaker grille back into place.
-The annoying rattling noise seems to be gone for now.

(2) I've also mentioned some "cracking" sound from my dashboard whenever I go over humps on hot days back in 2016. It's basically plastic rubbing on plastic (plastic expansion due to heat). This sound got a bit worse over time and the SC noted the problem. Was suggested to "leave the car for a few days with us, labour charges applies...". "Disassembly and reassembly of the dashboard may not solve the problem, and may even make things worse, not really encouraged....best to live with it."

-I found an alternative solution, albeit not a permanent one. Apply silicone spray (got it at Mr. DIY) over the visible gaps on the dashboard. Spray and wipe immediately so that it doesn't stain other parts of the dashboard. Seems to quiet down the cracks quite a bit. But it may need reapplication after a few months. What to do...I can't live with the cracking noises.

(3) Also noticed some minor rattling sound coming from the A-pillar cover at the passenger side.
-Wedged some felt into the gap between the A-pillar cover and the dashboard. Seems to quiet down a bit, but still has noise from time to time.

(4) I've also tried the am-fm antenna mod mentioned by yorkhan in the forum (https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2856023/+2840). Didn't seem to boost FM radio signal much for me though. Reception can be quite crappy from time to time. http://www.kifomanual.com/antenna_inspection-1317.html

(5) My fuel lid/cover gets stuck a lot. Quite frustrating - really miss the push-lid on the honda city.
-Eventually had to shave off some plastic off fuel lid so that the lid pops out properly. Works ok 95% of the time.

Hope this post helps someone eventually (maybe the SC too...).

Good sharing indeed. Thanks for your contribution to the thread.
