4. Claim dead car battery

[INFO] our car original battery is cover under warranty for ONE time of FOC change from wet waterly battery to maintenance free battery while within 3 years or 60k millage . (Whichever come first)
* preferably to be change in bermaz sc, dealer might not entertain / change for you.
* must be original battery that come with your new ride.

Guys is this info still correct? I went to Bermaz Glenmarie and they said the warranty is 1 year or 20,000km for the battery. I'm already past that and don't feel like forking out RM700 for a battery because I don't use the i-stop at all.

just sharing with you guys, last week 3 m3 owners joined a touge session with other gang, got FD2R, swift sport, FT-86, celica and satria neo

it was a fun drive to Kuala Klawang from Cheras driving through Titi town, curvy road all the way, the road is uneven and at some part of the road the tires cant grip properly causing uneven brake force due to uneven road, even though our m3 stock suspension handled it well but it is still dangerous, at higher speed i worry that i might crash to the hill

despite FD2R being almost 2 gen behind, swift and neo having lower CC and smaller engine, they are way faster than us and quicker through the corner, but that's obvious since their driving skills is way better than me and their car is heavily modded while mine is just stock, but on straight road we can easily pull away on the lower CC NA cars

at some part of the road i enter the turn with the wrong speed (too fast) and the rear tires lose grip, stability control kicks in and surprisingly it doesn't aggressively correct the course of the car, but instead it let the rear slide and gently adjust the car direction according to the direction i want, it happened in split second and the DSC really did a good job there

A question to all skyactiv owners, do you face a 1-2 second rattling sound (something like "tek tek tek") when lugging the engine around 1600-2000rpm range on a hot day?

Is this engine knocking or i need to get the timing chain tensioners and/or all the associated pulley system checked?

What petrol are you using by the way? For me, i pumped BHP RON95.

I got mine at nov'15, should be similar batch to yours. If i see the dash temperature 34C, then i prepare myself for that irritating rattling. Really didn't expect a car that is not even 5 years old to have this kind of issue. Wonder how will it affect the longevity of the car since our batch is 3 year instead of the new 5 year warranty.

Darn, need someone locally that can do data logging to double confirm. Will dump in a bottle of injector cleaner soon. Maybe will experiment with petron RON100 and dumping in octane additive.

Any other owners facing this?
Seeing the graph, seems pretty fitting to their company name, the torque increase will be noticeable for normal driving! The stock components are known to withstand almost double the power and torque numbers. Quite worth the money if they can let you test try to have an actual butt feel.

The main concern is, will this affect fuel consumption for the better or worse....and whether is it too aggressive that will cause engine knocking considering mine stock already experiencing possible knocking.
