  • Before buying since you my advisors

    Greetings. So far I have been driving zafira B. Even with 3 children no problem. Holiday, moving everything is possible with the Zafi. Since I drive full equipment I wanted to look at the days nn Carens Spirit 1.7Diesel now. But first a few questions to you: trunk is 1650 liters maximum. Do you carry everything well away? As said with us are only 3Kids with. Place second row: 3 child seats feasible? How are your experiences. Maybe someone can say which brands go in? Seats from manufacturer to manufacturer are different in size. Automatic: No newspaper mentions that there is a new automatic transmission. Up to now I drive switches. And according to measured data at the Kia this is better on the road with hand-operated gear. Do you have more information? On new models the power is indicated with 141hp. Has something changed on the engine? Can someone say something about the chassis. It wouldn’t be so doll? But German auo-newspapers can’t believe everything either. hope you have some answers for me.

  • Carens annual car: traces of use normal?

    Hello together, we are interested in a Carens RP annual car (EZ 11/2015) with a mileage of 22,000 km. It is a Carens with 1.7 CRDi, Dream Team equipment, 7 seats and Premium+ package, which was a former rental car. I drove with the car to the TÜV for inspection, and they said that the car was technically in a new condition. However, I noticed some optical defects: Otherwise, the car looks like new. According to dealers, this is also normal Gebrauc That’s why he doesn’t want to do anything at the price (this is at 19,000 EUR after negotiations). My car, which is now 2 years old and has run 40000 km, doesn’t look like it inside! What do you think? What do the scratched parts in the interior cost if you order them at Kia? Unfortunately, the carens is so rare that you can’t find anything used… Another question: I noticed during the test drive that you always lift the foot relatively high. must, in order to bring the clutch pedal completely into the “basic position”. According to TÜV Prüfer, however, this is normal and so is with your car. Is this also so with your carens? Thank you in advance!

  • Carnival jerks when accelerating

  • Kia Venga – Retrofit rearview camera. Who’s done it?

    Moin, I would like to retrofit a rear camera at my wife’s venga. I have already done this successfully with my Mondeo. Problem with the Venga: Where to go with the camera? Between rear flaps – handle and license plate light there is no room for a camera…. Now there are as I see 3 alternatives: 1.) Attach the camera next to the license plate light – then (from own experience with slightly inclined installation with my Mondeo) the image would be to estimate the reverse – do not go opti 2.) Camera from the inside behind the rear window. But here the viewing angle would probably not be optimal… 3.) license plate holder with built-in camera. Here I could even come behind the license plate with the cables into the tailgate to the license plate lamp. I am more a fan of wiring… Have you had experience with cameras that transmit the image by radio? Have read opposite opinions – from super to – The monitor receives any security camera in the vicinity – a about not own – or does the monitor approach during the journey by itself, because it receives any camera from ner Tanke or so… Are there instructions on how to get out the panels (back flap, sky, dashboard, etc. ) to lay the cables underneath? Where with the monitor? Do you have experiences? With my Mondeo I put a 7 ́ ́ monitor in front of the A-pillar of the passenger side. Alternatives would be: – Monitor in the rear mirror – Monitor in the storage box in front of the USB port (does someone have their monitor? Which one fits perfectly) – small monitor on the A-pillar driver side – small monitor over the radio… Thank you!

  • Kia Carens IV Performance review without MKL

    Hello, I turn to you, because my buddy with his Kia Carens IV 1.7 CRDI 136 PS BJ 2016 approx. 250 TKm does not get any further with his troubleshooting. The car takes a long time until it starts and then it trembles at the beginning and after giving gas it behaves almost normal. He has already renewed several things as well as: dual-mass swing wheel new, clutch new, throttle valve new, all injectors overhauled, diesel filter new, exhaust gastemeperatursensor new, diesel particle filter professionally acidified Is one of you familiar with these problems or does someone in NRW know who knows Kia very well? Would be nice if my buddy can be helped here. LG DBSveny40
