Last time I went kebun teh and ask them to check my ac as it produces a rattling sound when I turn it on while in gear car not moving… and they say ac got sound, then I ask so claim warranty lo, they say can't, computer scan no error… I was like wth… are they stupid or what… need to shoot them again this coming service…

Ok ok … I should be visiting sc next two weeks for 20k service… but I'm from johor so hope that the sc will change for me… btw, if I insist them on the problem but they do not do anything can I refuse to pay until they provide me a satisfactory solution? Cos I've had very bad experience with the sc here… very very bad…

Wow, if you already have bad experience with the SC, then going to be problem la. I really don't know how to advise you.

Maybe bro jfcheong or others from johor can give some advise!

How much reduction in coolant is considered abnormal? My car now is currently mileage 19k, had never top up any coolant(did not see charges for top up in 10k service invoice) and the coolant level in the coolant reservoir now is just a little bit below the minimum line. I think they would probably reply me that, "well we don't see any leaks, so can't claim".

I consider any topup abnormal. In this engine the only reason for level drop is a leak. Any leak, no matter how small is not acceptable.My level would be just above min, at every service.

I noticed the level drop in my car by the 1st service,had done only 6k. From then on for 3years it was the same story "no leak, we have topped coolant". The question I failed to ask was " no leak, where has the fluid gone"?

Coolant topup is not charged, so not indicated at invoice. Maybe not to alert owner! I do a pre service & after service inspection. I picked up the level drop.

New 408 is offering a pretty attractive price now. ~RM104K for TE spec with 5 years free servicing.
But i am holding back my purchase now. No doubt it is a nice spacious car to drive. I have heard too many complaints on the poor service from the SC in Johor.
Sigh. What a pity...

You can even find RM101k for TS+ but it's also the after sales service one of the reasons holding me back from buying.

It's indeed a very nice car, too bad the distributor is giving lousy after sales service.

I think most brands are more or less the same when it comes to claiming something from the warranty… even Honda(I have a Honda city too)... I guess you just need to prepare yourself to negotiate with the sc in order to produce a favorable outcome… haha. Some more the promo now is so attractive… I bought my car at the same price but no free service… damn it

I have never tried 220km/h on the Turbo. What I know is at 4520rpm, at 6th gear (locked up), the vehicle speed is about 178km/h.

According to the figure claimed by the manufacturer, the top speed is 215km/h although I don't know if it's a limited speed. If you can go faster than 215km/h, the engine speed should be around 52 50pm and the the ECM is not limiting the vehicle speed.
*
According to SC, 215km/h is the electronically-limited top speed. I suspect it was because the road was on a decline plane and helped reduce my engine strain just that tiny bit.

RPM was ~5300 and I don't think I could've gone higher, probably ran out of torque.

Manufacturer says the Vmax which is 215km/h, is limited by the ECU.

5,300 r.p.m. at 6th gear is equivalent to about 221km/h according to the calculation from the manufacturer's data given. I believe if it's not due to the limitation from the ECU, it could have gone faster.

Mine to share which part of the expressway you were running at that speed? North-South Expressway between Seremban to Malacca? I find it's difficult to drive at that speed on two lanes only freeway unless the time required to achieve the Vmax is shorter.
