oo i see.. cos i saw the naza/kia logo on the EO bottle before.. guessing that could be "specially developed" for naza/kia cars.. haha.. anyway, maybe will try other brands of EO after this since its quite difficult to find the syn 3000 5w30 on local market apart from the sc itself.. i did saw mobil1 on sale at tesco but nvr wanted to try that EO tho.. hows the performance comparing to syntium 3000?

Checking in if your cars with over 120k on the odo, does your engine make a light tapping noise when cold starting and during the first few minutes of driving?

how is light tapping noise sound? 

4.5 years of forte sx and now i face the following:

1) rat squeaking sound when engine still not warm after engaging D or R gear (actually got this issue on my first year but just ignore until now).
2) jerking while decelerating from 3rd to 2nd gear
3) driver window button spoilt (soft press will also engage to auto pull)

Planning to visit SC this weekend to deal with these issues..

any forte user changed their headunit to other 2 din player like pioneer, sony, kenwood etc? wanna know if need to change the casing as well?

for Forte 1.6 SX, CVT fluid recommended change interval is at every 40k km
can suggest what brand of CVT transmissions oil to be used?

hi guys, my side mirror (right side) folding mirror motor spoilt - it kept making sound earlier, i tried to find the fuse to unplug (didnt try all) but couldnt find it. went to accesory shop luckily the guy just open the housing inside the car (the triangle shape one) and disconnect the socket..works but problem is i cannot electronically adjust my mirror to see the cars and side signal not working...

anyone know which fuse to unplug in the car and also how much cost to change the motor?

just to share, the side mirror plastic gear can be repair easily, plastic gear can be purchase at taobao for RM40+ include shipping.

For my case, i found a nice guy that drive forte too, he custom make a steel gear and replace the plastic gear of side mirror, cost me RM150 include installation.

before i found the nice guy, i got a quotation from a shop in sg besi, he quote me around RM170 with plastic gear replacement, and that guy is attitude is so bad.

now both my mirror is fixed and can survive for another 3 or 4 years. XD

guys,

long time no see! still with your forte? well, i am still with my 2010 2.0 4 speed forte.
still loving it....
btw, anyone had low idle rpm now?
i am experiencing rpm around 650-710rpm with aircond on while car idle.
it causing my aircond didnt kick on for the compressor thus cause the aircond not cold during idling...

May I know your idle engine rpm ? for 2.0

my rpm still same like 8 yrs ago
ekon yet to servis, only chg compr oil
same cold no isu

what's your rpm when car idle with aircon on?

4 spd or 6 spd ?
mine 4 spd, buy at segambut rm65 only 4 ltr

and since when forte use cvt ?

yup I called SC also said that 1.6 is either 4 speed or 6 speeds... but actually for the later is a CVT with 6 preset speeds.

4.5 years of forte sx and now i face the following:

1) rat squeaking sound when engine still not warm after engaging D or R gear (actually got this issue on my first year but just ignore until now).
2) jerking while decelerating from 3rd to 2nd gear
3) driver window button spoilt (soft press will also engage to auto pull)

Planning to visit SC this weekend to deal with these issues..

Any update on these? I have the same issue for #1 and #2.

As for #1, I complaint to the SC before, they tighten some pulley/belt, it was not so apparent when I took the car but came back again after a while (they say I have to leave the car there to investigate if I want to further check)
