Second hand Latio servicing

[louisxii]

Hi all, I　ｊｕｓｔ　ｇｏｔ　ｍｙ　０８　Ｌａｔｉｏ　ｓｅｄａｎ　ｌａｓｔ　ｗｅｅｋ．Ｔｈｅ　ｍｉｌｅａｇｅ　ｉｓ　４８ｋ　ａｎｄ　ｗａｓ　ｔｏｌｄ　ｂｙ　ｄｅａｌｅｒ　ｅｘ－ｏｗｎｅｒ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｆｉｎｉｓｈ　ｍａｊｏｒ　ｓｅｖｉｃｉｎｇ　ａｔ　TC @４５ｋ　ｍｉｌｅａｇｅ．　Ｓｏ　ｆａｒ　ｅｖｅｒｙｔｈｉｎｇ　ｏｋ　ｑｕｉｔｅ　ｃｏｍｆｙ　ｉｎｓｉｄｅ　ａｎｄ　ｑｕｉｅｔ　：） Before I booked the car had called TC to check last servicing record and was told last servicing at 45k which is tally with dealer's claim but TC refused to disclose whether it was a major or normal servicing.

Do I need to send to car back for servicing again? or is there anyway to know major servicing is really done?

Thanks:)

my 40k major servicing record with TCM as below,

ROTATE AND BALANCE BOTH FRONT WHEELS 
-   CARRY OUT SIDE SLIP CHECK 
-   **CARRY OUT 40,000KM SERVICE (UNDER NPMP PROGRAM) USE FASFLO 100% SYNTHETIC OIL
-   RENEW BOTH FRONT BRAKE PAD 
-   RENEW BOTH REAR BRAKE PAD OR SHOES & ADJUST HANDBRAKE
-   RENEW ALL BELTING 

so you can bring to your regular mechanic and ask them check your brakes and belts for piece of mind, maybe also do change of transmission oil to be on the safe side.
else, i think the major and minor servicing are about the same.

Open yr bonnet, if yrs is CVT, there shd be a blue sticker on the right side telling you to use NS2 CVT oil. Not sure abt 4AT though.

Hi Kelvin thanks for explanation. Ya i did feel the gear change when picking up so comfirm is 4AT.

My fc shown is around 8-9L/100km in average. I guess this is normal for Latio right...Driving car is an expensive experience

Mine is about 11.5km/L for a 5 yr old latio sports.... So i guess yours is slightly better @ 11.7km/L

Dear Bro,

Yesterday my latio had a flat tyre on the rear left. Didnt know and hit the bumper/exhuast to the curb while parking.

After changing the tyre (spare), the exhuast (left rear) of car giving strange sound like driving a pick-up or a 10 footer lorry. Slight rumbling during idling and roar like a broken exhuast lorry when step on accelerator. Engine and movement are no issued.

Soon due for servicing so might as well do it now today later. Any workshop good for recommending? I just took over from my cousin and no more on TCM. Feb 2012 gone to my usual workshop (Harmony) but they seem not that familiar with Latio. i used to patronise them cos I used to drive a Kia.

Urgently need recommendation for a good, reliable and affordable workshop. IMHO, I have been to TCA before 2012 (my cousin still have 1 more NPMP left for me) its sucks big time.

Look for ...Kelvin's Workshop....call him...97114018

[robtan99]

btw, i think Kelvin workshop is just opposite Harmony....
