Yeobh 4th Gear December 24, 2004 Share December 24, 2004 (edited) Looks like some top people in the organisation still have the colonial mentality and may have thought that by putting an Ang Mo incharge will easily fool all the complainants and untimately all problems will evaporate into the thin air. Ang Mo or Or Mo, the most important qualification as General Service Manager one must try to find solutions for most of the problems. A parts man trying to run the after sales service is a no no.

Botak Neutral Newbie December 24, 2004 Share December 24, 2004 (edited) You got the email address? So far I only complain to the SA GM once. Will wait and see how they handle my problems this time after they make appointment to rectify the problems. If problems still persist, I will invite the GM to test drive my car before we organise the meetup in SA show room to scare away their new potential customer and also every forum that talks about car.

Chevyoptrag Neutral Newbie December 27, 2004 Share December 27, 2004 Hi Sotong_kia, Don't seem to have the problem, rpm up between 2K - 2.1K when start, drop quite repidly to about 1K, once engage to drive mode, it will down to about 900 before acceleration. I did not change oil type since the last reset. The problem I had before reset and after changing to diff Ron type was that Rpm gone up to 2.5K when start while engine was hot, and 2K which is normal when engine was cold. I do agree it should not caused by changing of oil type, but strange it did not cause any more problem as long as I did not change the oil type, will test later to confirm it again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie December 28, 2004 Share December 28, 2004 Ok, seems like mine is more screwy.. anyway see how they intend to settle it tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevyoptrag Neutral Newbie January 17, 2005 Share January 17, 2005 Have they settle your problem? Yesterday I made a switch from Mobile 8000 to Shell 92 first switching after I had my ECU reset since end NOV. I am very certain that the high RPM when start engine while it is warm is caused by changing of type of petrol. I had no problem all the while when I am on Mobile 8000 till I changed to Shell ron92 yesterday. The problem came back almost immediately after switching.

Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie January 17, 2005 Share January 17, 2005 The last time I sent it in, they replaced the MTIA. (Took me a while to find out what MTIA means haha..) That is about 3 weeks already. So far ok. I seldom change petrol, but I will monitor that. I expect once the SPC promo is over, I might go back to Esso. But I still use 95.

Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie January 17, 2005 Share January 17, 2005 motorised throttle idle actuator I don't know exactly what it does, but the word sounds like it controls the throttle (accelerator) so that it can maintain engine idling.. like someone stepping the accelerator a wee-wee-little bit...
