Good day together In the last 2 weeks I have the problem that the shadow of trees is enough to turn on the dipped light. It is only enough if I have the sun in the back, that the dipped light is almost permanently active on. If the sun shines sideways or from the front it works normally until just a shadow comes. In the summer I mostly drove without automatics, in order not to blind my work colleagues when parking in the morning, therefore I have now And if you don’t know which sensor of this is responsible for it, then I can test it with a flashlight.

Hello together, I wanted to introduce myself briefly. I am the Maik, come from Hagen and am since 03.11.2023 proud owner of a Kia XCeed GT-Line (but still have to wait a good 2 weeks until the delivery is done). “Come” originally from Opel (after 27 years changed), because I last neither with the vehicle (Astra K with Bi-Turbo-Diesel, engine damage (at 80 thousand KM – chain skipped on the day of the Opel measure) and after 5 months waiting time (because engine block is no longer available) and ic h was very dissatisfied with the workshop and communication. So no one wants something like this, no matter which manufacturer I am right now quite postively tuned that it becomes much more pleasant with Kia and the new workshop (even if I read here that there is “Zipperlein” here and there 🙂 ) . So I will also contribute if I have to contribute constructively to the topics. VG Maik

Has someone decided on all-year tyres on his new Ceed CD? I have mounted the Michelin Crossclimate+ in 225/45 R17. I chose this type because the current test results are very good. However, the tyres run so incredibly loud and rough, when cornering is a clear whims on account of the V-profile. I’m going to invest in another set again. Recommendations???

Hello together, after spending some time reading, I decided to open a new post. My current is a KIA pro Ceed BJ2011. Next week I get the KIA Ceed GT as ordered new car. I have already read more in various forums and groups that the paint would be very thin and also soft. I drive a lot of road and highway and did not really want the paint to look like a sprinkle cake after a short time. I have already caught up with ceramic seals and protective foils. I have paid for the car “bar” and of course have no unlimited budget for an everyday vehicle over. In the case of ceramic seals only the smallest damage is prevented. In addition, the term “chemical connection” to the paint is a thorn in my eye. Should a larger scratch be treated or repaired via Spot Repair there are certainly problems or differences to the rest of the car. t of course a lot more expensive, but of course protect more, doesn’t it?! Does it look like a sprinkling cake after a short time? What about the color difference when removing it? And please don’t come with self-healing now That’s only possible conditionally and with warmth. Have also seen terrible pictures with which the clear varnish has completely dissolved after a stone blow. Can this happen when the foil is removed? Does someone have long-term experiences with verse igelungen/Schutzfolien or also like other long-term protection for the varnish? I am open to many possibilities, but must be able to understand them (there probably the technician comes out in me ) Thanks already for your answers and sorry for the long text

Hi, I washed my ProCeed GT-Line yesterday as usual with my hand and high-pressure cleaner. He has not seen a washing system or road from the inside yet. As a new car he now got exactly 30,000 km on the tacho. So now to the problem: I have as always applied insect cleaner from Nigrin, let in after instruction and then cleaned the area with the Kärcher dirt milling machine. And at several places the paint is peeled off (see photos) distance vo I kept up to 20-30 cm. Has anyone experienced it the same way? I’ll drive to the dealer tomorrow and then see what he says about it.

Is there any information about the new model year 2021 at the Ceed? At Hyundai there are new engines for the Facelift and I wonder when they will come at the Ceed too? Already at the model year change 2021 or only at the Facelift? In addition, there would have to be the conversion to Euro-6 (without Temp).

Hello together, I ask here for my daughter. She bought her first new car, Kia Xceed 1.4l and let it lie down directly at the dealer, a rear diffuser and a flap-nauspuff. My question refers to the flap-nauspuff. Can someone tell me if I can check the function. Because according to my feeling it should become louder by pressing the button, only unfortunately the sound does not change at all. Has someone of you the flap-nauspuf f co-ordered? Tschau an alle René

Moin from the north. I’m interested in an xceed with a diesel engine as 136 hp variant. I don’t know what to buy. The normal or the mild hybrid. Has any of you ever driven both versions and could give me a tip which one is better? Or don’t you notice that? I like to read your answers and say thank you.

Hello, since yesterday I can welcome my new sweetheart (Xceed PHEV Plug-In-Hybrid Platinum). Picked up at the dealer in Mannheim I was already a bit stutzig, that in the multimedia system on the top right no symbol for the reception of the eSIM was visible, UVO/Kia Live did not work either. First on the reception/network cover pushed. Then at home (about 80 km west) yesterday evening and this morning same behavior. Reset on the MM system did not bring any change. After call to the Hä ndler should I now make a workshop appointment. Question in the round, since I am not alone with the topic: Can Kia/the dealer really only unlock this with a car on site? Or did this work with anyone without a workshop appointment? Greeting Thomas

Hello dear forum, at the risk that I am now totally embarrassed, I ask my question anyway. So far I have changed my tyres myself and so far I had always used the original jack of the car. At my wife’s Kia Ceed SW Diesel there is unfortunately no jack of the car, only the breakdown set. After question at the Kia dealer almost hit me. Over 80 euros for the original jack of the car, I find it a bit exaggerated. Now there is this Universal Hydraulic Wa I would not be limited to Kia, but would also have a jack for other vehicles. What do I have to pay attention to? There are such rubber buffers as an edition for the fold under the car. Would I be very happy about helpful answers.
