**eur001** · 25-08-2008 06:28 PM

My car is less than 1 week old...so not sure whether i shoud bring it back to dealer immediately or wait till my 1st service.
Pls advice....Thanks!

Wat model do you have?Manual or Auto?
if it's auto, then i've no idea
but if it's manual, probabley it's because you're using a higher gear when you're supposed to use the lower one. Say cornering, you used 3rd gear where more properly, you should egage in 2nd. The sound is from sychronizer as far as i'm concernded.

Hi there ,

DIY KIng, bennjamin, i'm new to this forum and a real and rare rookie for mods. I'm gonna get a mugen short shifter kit which i have absolutely no idea how to install. In the forum there was a intruction like how to remove ash tray, centre consol, arm rest. etc. But now it's gone, pm ed arrong, he said it's not fixable becuase the pics where deleted. Can you help me out a litte bit?

Sorry, this post may not be revelavnt to the topic, and eur001, good luck and hope you can solve you problem at 1000km service.

hello above - if the links are bad its up to the thread starter to re host them.
Unfortunately theres nothing We at Ozhonda can do but wait for the thread starter to fix it. Maybe try pm'img them about the pix ?

Just wondering are you driving with the A/C or CC on? Is it the sound of the compressor kicking in?

I think it is just the way the engine sounds at low RPM. You need to show someone your car to listen to the engine.

do you know anyone else with the same car to check it out~

i bet the dealer gave you the salesman mobile number and all that and said bring it back if anything wrong~take it back when u have time and explain it to someone there~might not be any big issue but yer just incase aye~you cant sleep at night when u buy a new car and feel something is wrong
