Taking the plunge

[Godfinger]

Go for Scandal wood as it

looks cool on that color..

 

Ever saw a white optra sedan

and not bad looking though.

Hello welcome to the home of Optra where u will get along with the freebies from ur agent

 

1) a freaky fuel gage which will go haywire whenever u change ron level; provided it doesnt give problem even if u use a constant ron level.

 

2) freaky high rpm when at neutral gear (only the lucky few will get it !!)

 

3) fuel injector's failure ( u will be glad tat I am the only Optra owner in Spore to experience it)...

 

4) to be sure the above is not just my bias view,,,see the comments from our fellow owners up north....

Btw, I had also written to the gentleman mentioned, the response that I get was..

[Lukie102]

Think twice is my advise

 

Hmm....an extremely disatisfied customer....same here too

 

I told SA techs that my steering tie-rod was buggered, hence the occasional knocking sound when you go over humps. But they insisted there was nothing wrong with it.

 

So they lubricated the stabilizer bar and returned the car back to me.

what sound did you hear?? i hear sounds sometimes too.....

[Godfinger]

Some 'cracking' sound..

Like a old room door hinge

that needs lubrication..

[Lukie102]

mine sometimes also have....but more like from left rear.....

[Tanhl]

I had spoke to both of them no use

[Tanhl]

They told me that they had change the throttle body is there anything that possible link to the problem

Have not try outside workshop currently using cxxxxxe RRR syn

[Room430]

That is really unfortunate..... go press Gilson until he does something, that's how I got my aircon blower replaced so quickly.

 

Seriously, I'm not sure how bad your "jerking" is, perhaps you really got a lemon this time? But if you're still not getting the right attention, it's time to go higher up the management.

I got me R-cool & a prison cell (For station wagon only), lowest car price, highest COE (for this 1/2 yr)

 

mines manual, so far besides the fuel guage, center interior light problem being X-files, the rest is lovely and lovely.

 

Dun be discourage by comments from a lot of toubled owners, they do have their point. SA is not competent, the car has inherent problems after times, but well, wat the hack, is the way to owning this car. if you ask me anyday I have 60k to worry for 10 yrs, i will choose this former daewoo chevy over toyota, honda or any japan brand (I am a ex owner of cars from those most popular 2) anyday. Beauty in the eye of the beholder.

heh, Well, I got me a super big supermarket trolley then now the rear is sooo messy, its like a garbage truck. Need to go carfour to get me some container to organize things a bit.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

has it got something to do with that auto gear box ? neutral also will jerk ? Maybe should get a 2nd opinion from outside workshop already.

The white is not pure white. Actual colour is a bit creamy. So far have not seen on the road and the last stock count they have is abt less than 5 . Very few only.

 

Black is nice, but diff to maintain. You're right not very fantastic deal. I wanted leather seats but need to top up $1k. Wheich if u choice the premium version, they will give u sports rim+ leather seat + a 5 cd changer(non -MP3 player).

I can ask my friend . He drives a black subaru( love racing in Malaysia) and knows quite a little on such car matters.

I don't have the 'cracking' sound, but I checked the lower arm and it seems fine.

 

I can confirm the steering tie-rod is buggered because there is quite a lot of play in it. And that's where the sound is coming from.

Er...quite difficult to describe leh...

 

It sounds like metal knocking on metal, but rather muted.

Do you get the vibration or jerking with the air-con off?

[Tanhl]

Yes i dun on my aircon during warming up
