Hello in the round ! I looked around here once in different forums , but quite exactly I did not get conclusive because of the sound package . I have the RIO this year (platinum ). Have already done some things on the car (deep laying , other horn , wind deflectors etc. Now I have as I said , sometimes here everywhere , but everyone says something different . My system (work plant ) is already correct and sounds very good . Now I have a week ago times 3 different the Kia dealer asked what the sound package would cost. All 3 told me the same price. Sound system complete 500 Euro + installation approx. 750 Eus. Reserve wheel chuck for the Sub and the Helix (Match Day) under the driver’s seat. I then read here, that alone the power amplifier already costs 499, the Sub ca 230. Does with me but 750 Eus without installation. I then made myself smart at Audiotec Fischer, and he meant that the price can not agree with me. Now the question! What’s wrong now and right ? And there are pictures of one who could show me his sound package . Would that also look at me times as it sounds . I say thank you already for your help . You all still have a nice day

Hello people, I am currently very interested in a KIA Rio. As an alternative to the domestic new and used car market I have discovered EU new vehicles. At the following dealer, should be no advertisement, I have discovered a nice offer:http://www.neuwagenkauf.com/eu-neuwagen/kia-rio/ In the end the Kia Rio with 109 hp in “exclusive” line with additional Navi, middle arm console and winter package for about 12.600€. But now I have a lot of questions open and hope the one or the other hee user can help me: – Is the 1.4 with 109 hp or rather the sticky 1.25 with 86 hp? -What about insurance with EU vehicles, has someone had problems with you? -What are the Kia Rio warranty conditions in general? -Is it bad that the EU car gets a day registration about 2 weeks before delivery abroad? And what does that explicitly mean for me? -Is the package with keyless entry and parking sensors necessary with Navi with a return camera? -Has anyone from And how much do the original inspections cost? I know questions about questions, but the first more “deure” car wants to be thought out I thank you in advance for your answers, Dominic

Hello all, I ordered a new Kia Picanto Dream Team Edition 1.2 last week. I would like to ask the following questions: 1.) Are original Kia 14″ aluminium rims delivered with the tyre size 165/60-14. If I want to mount steel rims with winter tires (originally from KIA dealers), do I need other wheel nuts? I currently have an Opel Corsa. There it was so that the same wheel screws could be used with original steel and aluminium rims, since in the aluminium rims correspond 2.) The vehicle will only be delivered with a breakdown set. Can a spare wheel or emergency bike be retrofitted? The breakdown set does not work if the flat tire has a greater damage. In addition, I did not want to pollute the aluminium rims and the pressure sensor with the emergency spray in case of emergency. If a standard wheel fits into the pit, up to which tyre size (155/70-13, 165/60-14 or 175/50-15) would it work? On an emergency wheel, which can I use (tire size) e with rim data)? Does eventuel fit that of the Hundai I10? 3.) Does anyone know the further data of the rims (hole circle of the wheel screws, middle diameter on the wheel hub)? 4.) Is there an overview of all approved tyre and rim combinations of KIA? In my Corsa there was a conversion catalog, in which the aluminium/steel rim tyres approved by Opel were listed (including rim letters). There were also other sizes listed with corresponding runs or inserts. would be great if someone could answer one or the other question. I would also be happy about general information and tips about the vehicle. Thanks in advance. LG Corsiman

Hello together, first time the vehicle data: Manufacturer: KIA MOTOR (ROK)Model No.: RIO Kombi (DC) (RS) ccm: 1493 Type: 1.5 16V Year of manufacture: 08/00 – 02/05 KW / PS: 72 / 98 Key No. : 8253 / 329 When I start the car, everything is fine. After a short warm-up phase the engine purrs like a kitten. Also mentioned, behind is a sports exhaust with a really good sound. Otherwise the Kia is completely unobstructed. Now to the problem, in the first gear it pulls normal. the second one is really sluggish up to a certain point ( 30 – 33 kmh ), then there is a thrust as if a turbo is in use. the whole goes on in the third and fourth gear. The fifth gear is then again problem-free up to the next Macke. Then comes a slope in the course of the road the engine starts to bubbling and I can then give gas as I want, there is nothing more. then I have to see that I come to the right and turn off the car. After a short waiting time can This game is unfortunately repeated very often lately. It’s not quite as funny on the highway (strips) when the children are sitting in the car. Finally I changed: air hose (was torn) spark plugs (that wasn’t it) valve cover seal coolant thermostat Maybe someone from you has some advice, or unfortunately someone already had such a problem?I thank you already for your answers!!!

Hello, have a Kia Rio 1.0 T-GDI 120 Ps and soon the 1st inspection is on. Which oil would you recommend to me? Would that take it with you for inspection. I found the following:Motor oil For tips and comments I would be grateful. Someone already experience how to react to the Kia workshops if you bring your own oil? Thank you in advance!

Hyundai Getz 1.3 or Kia Picanto or ? Hello everyone, I am about to pick up a new car. After driving 50,000 km a year, the consumption is extremely important. After searching through the forum, I have always found totally contrary statements about this theme. From 5.1 to 10 liters everything was there. With statements like “…after x kilometers I have consumed half a tank ..” are useless. First, it is crucial that the car is well driven, w if “good” means NOT to heat with a new car with full throttle over the highway. Secondly, it is important WO was driven. City / highway / highway and how was driven. With air conditioning? Summer? Winter?. To calculate the consumption you proceed as follows: 1. Full fuelling, odometer to zero. 2. Consciously choose the driving method: economical, normal, sporty. 3. At the next tank fill up and calculate: tanked liters x 100 / driven kilometers = consumption. For me would be int This will be my most common driving condition. You can read it already: I live in the speed-limited Switzerland. I am grateful for hints! Many thanks to all who can give me reliable information. Greetings Michael

Hello Kia municipality, in March the order of a Kia Picanto was ordered in a blue metallic color. At the beginning of June the car should be there. In mid-June then came from the car dealer the call that the car was now delivered. Why ever pulled that and in the past week you got the data to transfer the purchase price and the dealer wanted of course the EvB number. Said, done. Today the seller called and said that he had a good and a bad Nachric The car is registered and then he called the bad…. The car is white instead of blue. But we would be all people, as he said. Now it should be chosen whether the white car is taken for a new price, but without the extra charge of the metallic color or it has to be waited another 6 weeks, because the car has to be ordered. What is not understandable is that the car was at the dealer’s two or three weeks, and he had not noticed that the car has a different color. What can you do? Best regards

At my Kia Rio ub is a red coolant in the tank,was at the kia directly to get me a new bottle of coolant because they advised me to go directly to the kia because they could not determine the color of the coolant, but the color of this coolant is green,mixing I heard is bad,in the balance tank there is only little left, should refill, what should I do? pump and refill or what do you say,Thank you in the vora ==References==

Hello! I would like to buy a car again. It should be small, automatic transmissions and best equipped with parking sensors, rear-view camera and seat heating. Now I’ve been looking around again and again online for quite a while and finally came across the Kia Picanto GT. In white I like the mega and also the interior equipment I like great. I was already at the dealer, I got the booklet and so on. If I really get a new car e (with me day registration or a new used one would rather be because of the price), then I also want a good equipment. Speak Navi package and technology package (P4 and P5) should already be in there. Unfortunately, the technology package also includes the smart key..I don’t like at all but I would like to park sensors and climate automation would be quite nice. I also think the Advanced Driving Assistant (P1) makes sense.. or what do you mean? And so sunroof would be quite nice. Well. Now to my actual questions. I would like to do a test drive. Now the only available automatic car of the dealer where I had requested was sold but unfortunately. But if I want to buy an automatic car, does a test drive with a circuit bring me nothing…especially because I also honestly did not drive a circuit for a long time. Do you have any tips where I could still try it or a suggestion that I could make to the dealer? e like to compare several offers. Actually I did not plan to spend over 10,000€ (or even more in this case) for the car, but I really like the Picanto and I would want to keep it for a long time. Only would be nice if I would find a good offer. Could also wait a bit for it. But where could I find good offers? On the internet I find the selection (or I look wrong) not exactly diverse. I live in Hamburg, the Aut o but also pick up somewhere else in Germany, if the price is right. Maybe you still have tips from good dealers or something. And it should be the latest model, right? Or do you say the older models are just as worthwhile? Unfortunately, I don’t really know myself well, but the Picanto GT has done it to me. And what are your experiences – can you still get the dealers to discounts and if then rather with cash payment or financing? Maybe also many stupid Questions – but I am grateful for any help.
