Good evening! My sister-in-law (unfortunately), bought a Kia Ceed on my advice. Almost full equipment, 1.6 CVVT with 4 gear automatic, year 2007. Two weeks ago the car suddenly did not jump any more, and in the workshop we were told: engine damage. Supposedly timing belts slipped, what exactly was not told us so far. After we hit 2 !! weeks on an answer for warranty have waited the shock: No, guarantee is not, a few years ago was 1x the service in Tsch The car is not registered for 7 years yet, but already older than 7 years!!! Because there is such a big use when standing around… I am now working on the matter with a lawyer, but he said that we are pulling the shorter one. At the moment I am looking for a new engine, and now my question: Can I install a diesel instead of the 1.6 CVVT petrol engine?! They last longer?! Otherwise we have been relatively satisfied, but this is now It’s really a shock. Does a diesel also fit the 4Gang automatic transmission? I have someone who installs the engine for me, but I should get the engine.. How about the units then? They probably won’t fit the diesel from the petrol engine?! Petrol engine unfortunately I didn’t find a suitable one on eb** or Willhab**.. I’m really desperate… Thanks… Kia!!

Hello, I was at the first inspection today with speedometer stand 15,000, I paid 360 euros. The reason was in my opinion high amount, with the inspection intervals for my model. These foresee an inspection at 30,000 km or once a year. It can not be that the KIA then exchanges parts in the 3rd year, at only 45,000 km, although these are not worn out yet and with more intensive use otherwise only at 90,000. For this I have to be as customer every time The fact that the annual inspection is not necessary from a technical point of view, proves the fact that Kia only requires an inspection for new models for 2 years. How high is the cost of a 60,000 inspection? In addition, I am looking for a cheaper workshop in the vicinity of Frankfurt/mainal’s main car dealership in Raunheim. Thank you!

Hello all, can a defective Simmering lead to a complete oil loss within a short time during a motorway ride and then directly to the engine damage? It all happened within 10-15 seconds. Tempo I drove reduced to 80 and then on the stand strip and then was already at work. Whether the oil lamp turned on and when, I can’t say at all. I was more distracted by highway and engine noises. I should mention that in the car a week before the e control chain and something on the piston was changed to guarantee (because “auto went out in idle mode”. After that the inspection was carried out. I have no idea.. but there should be cases… even if I could logically imagine that there is a causal connection here Can KIA turn out something that one would be to blame because there is an oil warning lamp and therefore refuse guarantee? Greetings

Hello forum, for a few months I am looking for a new car for me (drive for 5 years Golf V 1.4/75hp). It is definitely to become a gasoline and a combi. Besides, it is important to me a good equipment (seat heating, climatronic, leather electric wheel with buttons, hands-free device, middle armrest, etc.). And economical the car should be of course also… In the narrow selection have now entered two vehicles: 1) Skoda Octavia 1.2TSI – Best Of 2) Ceed SW 1.6 GDI Dream-Team And now the questions about the Ceed. 1) The Octavia 1.2TSI consumes 5.7l/100km according to paper, but realistic are 6.3-6.7l/100km with a “normal” way of driving. What about the Ceed SW 1.6 GDI. On the paper there are 6.5l/100km. On the fuel monitor there are only a few informations about the Ceed 1.6 GDI and what it says doesn’t seem to me to be really normal… about 8l/100km… I don’t really want to believe that. What do you say about this topic? i 1.6 GDI? (I was quite optimistic about this: the consumption sample on the example) 2) Inspections at the Ceed SW are necessary every 2 years or 30,000km. How is the price frame of these inspections. Do I have to reckon with more expensive inspection prices than with the Skoda Octavia? 3) Timing belt changes? Is there a timing belt at the GDI? When should it be changed? Does this possibly guarantee if within the first 7 years? I am happy about your answers and hope to make my decision better. Thank you in advance! Evgeni T.

Hello dear Motor-Talkler, I need your help. And I would like to buy a Kia Ceed SW, namely the 2010 Facelift model. Normally there is the petroler once as 1.4 with 90hp and as 1.6 with 125hp. Now 90 are almost too little and 125er are in the area at present in short supply. Now stands with a dealer with 1.4, 109hp, which I would really like from price and equipment. But it can be that this motorization at Facelift Is this possibly a residual stock that has still been installed in a few facelift models or where does it come from? Does anyone have experience with this motorization? So I don’t need an athlete, but he should come from the spot without the engine having to struggle all the time. Sure, during the test drive I will probably notice if it fits or not, but it is the dealer’s fault. cht the next way and that’s why I wanted to ask for your opinion in advance. Greetings to everyone!

Hello together, Since we are currently looking for a new station wagon, I look around at all manufacturers. I happened to find this interesting offer: https://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… I have heard a lot of good about KIA. The car is now out of the warranty. Has also run little. The plan is to drive this about 100,000km. Of course, preferably without many problems. How are the GDI engines? I unfortunately have bad experiences with control chains in the last Ze Are there any problems with the chains at KIA? I don’t find much about the engines in the Internetz. Thank you for your help in advance! Ps.: I did not find a general purchase advice topic. If there is one: please move there.

Hello together, we have a Kia ceed sw/black since August 2010. Before we had no problems with the ignition lock, but for some time now, if the car has to stand in the sun, you can no longer turn the ignition key in the ignition lock. You have to have a lot of patience until it goes again and it gets worse and worse. Has anyone ever had such a problem with the KIA? Does the car need a new ignition lock or what can it be? aum mal 1 year old. Thank you for your answers. LG Josie522

Hello, with my Rio UB with automatic air conditioning I noticed that there is hardly any air coming out of the footroom ventilation nozzles. If I choose the air outlet manually and only place on foot space the air comes out on the disc and to the front nozzles. My question is now. Does anyone know the possibility to recalibrate the ventilation, or does anyone know where the defect lies? Thank you in advance.

Hello Leutz times a question to all cee’d owners. I have mine now for a few days and everything that comes with so negative comes into a list and is then sent to KIA. Honestly: The list is short 🙂 my problem is now the iPod control. I had always built up a control of Desion before and was delighted that the cee’d SW (2.0 TX + Sport + Leather) has one from home, but I don’t get it. If the iPod is connected, the control disappears on the i Pod itself, this one is then dead. I also know this from Desion, but I was able to handle it there and hear the sound via the system, but the control via the iPod (far more convenient). At the Kia it doesn’t work somehow, at least I didn’t find anything. Although I can sort it out in the menu for playlist, interpreter, title, etc., but only that. It always starts in the sorted list first. So what if I want to hear, for example, Simon & Garfunkel? I have to have 3,654 times the next press key? Can it be nciht, right? Is there no way to browse through the interpreters / title 7 playlist list and choose something there? In the current (possibly only not understood by me) variant, the ipod control is only suitable for charging USB devices, otherwise it is completely useless. Many thanks in advance for the help BTW: A word to the admins: great forum f0rd42

All right, I’m going to need a “new” car soon and since I recently drove a Kia ceed test time, I came across this car. In short, I don’t really care about cars at all and before I got into the Kia I would have made a choice between Ford Focus Variant and Golf Variant. I’m trying to buy a young used car. The car should cost between 11,000 and 13,000 euros and it should be a diesel. If I really want the market v the gulf is already out of the race, since the used prices are a whole bit higher than the focus. At the Kia, the 7-year guarantee attracts me and the belief that I get relatively much car for the money. But if I understand this correctly, there is the 7-year guarantee only for cars that were registered in 2010. There is probably close to the budget, at least if I choose a car with diesel engine? Another reason are the running The cost of the workshop is my main question. What about maintenance intervals and workshop costs at Kia. Are they comparable to Ford and VW? Would their basically guess at ceed (I know a philosophical and subjective view 😉 ), or is it rather a problem car?
