Fan noise is dependent on blower speed. The higher the blower speed, the noiser it gets.

Nothing to do with temperature setting.

Can send to Tan Chong to ask them to check.

The conventional knob type for air con temperature setting (found in new facelift Latio) seems to be better.

This pre facelift Latio digital air con temperature setting seems problematic.

No wonder Nissan replaced the digital setting with conventional knob type in their F/L latio. I thought Latio is very reliable car but after went thru the forum here and spotted some issues associates with Latio. hmm, haven't enjoy my ride yet witness few problems already... sign...   :crying:

Dun worry lar....you will enjoy your ride once u get it....like i learn to enjoy mine......not all the problems u see here will happen to you....sometimes...i think buying a car is like buying toto....very much dependent on luck....i have friends who owns altis and mazda 3...and have many problems tat i dun have....so far my latio did not give me any performance issue...all problems are more static issues....like the maxi thing (UV protection) did not stick properly.....but still not too bad....kind of wondering...should I have bought a Mazda 2 instead.....oh well...given the FC....i think you and I got a gd buy.... :yehyeh:

I think the F/L one is not the true blue analgo style knobs found in the Sunny. It's meant to look analog  ;) you might want to confirm this again when you get your car. Don't worry lah... every car will have some nitty gritty issues here and there.. as long as it doesn't affect safety it's fine. My friend's altis, got the car, aircon controller board also up the lorry. need to change.. these things happen. as long as not every 2 weeks i need to park my car at the workshop it's fine :)

Conventional knob gives me the feeling of old fashion and obsolete technology.  Digital have a more advanced feeling.  Just like digital camera vs conventional camera.

Hi Bro, where is the external sensor near the windscreen?  Understand that the sensor under the windscreen in front of the passenger seat is for lighting to activate auto-on headlamp?

There are multiple sensors in that assembly. Once I figured out how it behaves, just have to set the temperature accordingly.

I think digital control is nice. It can't be that difficult to make. All domestic air-conditioners use it. It should be more reliable than the old fashioned bi-metallic strip...

Uncle, the  Latio is still with me.  :smile:

My wife has taken over the Latio as it is more convenient for her to drive in her new job.

I got the Sylphy at an all time low price (since launch) of $59,500 after cashback from the SE, deduct $500 for DS3 body kit and Nissan owner discount.

It's all about timing. Decided to take the plunge when COE crashed to $9,500 earlier this month and secured my COE 2 days ago at a high $14,100.  :thumbsup:

I will be collecting my Sylphy latest by next Saturday.  ;D

You bough a 1.5 sylphy? Dun really understand the difference between sylphy and latio...both also 1.5...but sylphy cost so much more...is it worth it other than the more luxury interior?

Latio and Sylphy shares the same engine but when it comes to interior space and boot, Sylphy is world apart in terms of space (like stretch limousine, can cross leg when sitting behind) and luxury feel.

Latio OMV is $14,000. I bought at $53,000
Sylphy OMV is $17,500. I bought at $59,500

So actual price difference is only an extra $39.60 a month or $1.32 a day for a Sylphy.  :smile:

But now Sylphy price has gone up to $64,000 so it is not worth to buy anymore.

It applies to all cars below 1600cc to experience some shortage of power when the air con compressor is working.

Wind down all your windows to allow the hot air to escape for the first 5 minutes of your journey.

Less load on your air con compressor to cool your interior.
