nice. which workshop did you go to? pandan loop, ubi or alexandra?

 

oh ya.... i noticed recently that my front left headlamp has condensation/water vapor internally sometimes on and off, this was after the car returned from the workshop. The staff told me could have gotten in during the welding process, and will dry/evaporate after a while. its been about a week and the condensation still appears.

 

Will this really go away? Or should i bring it back to ask them resolve? Funny thing is the condensation doesn't appear all the time. like this morning it was all clear, but yesterday evening it was there.

4 years ago i had no Kia!

 

i suspect they left my car in the back carpark where it was exposed to the rain while awaiting repair. Remember those 2 weeks was a period of crazy hot mornings to noon, and heavy rains in the later PM. Sun was so hot that my "baby on board" plastic sign was warped when i collected the car.

Hi anyone using those triangle type blind spot mirror on the side mirror? IMO it is useless cos everytime after car wash or cleaning need to adjust the angle again.

 

Changing back to the round type. Triangle one going to the bin...

I'm getting 9.5L/ltre on my 1st tank of SPC Petrol, max rpm = 3k . 60% Expressway, 40% City.. Damn bad, not sure if its due to car still on Mineral Oil

[Ivan_06]

K3 is never known to be a fuel saver. 9-10l/100km is common. Even after run in, most probably 8-9l/100km
