Category: Kia Rio & Picanto Forum

Hello dear Kia-Forum, I usually drive around in the Renault-Forum. I hope you can help me as well here. It’s about the Picanto 2 (TA) of my girlfriend. He got a new clutch (complete set of LuK) 2.5 months / 4,000 km ago. Since Kia refused to meet us at the clutch with just 48,000 km / 3.5 years, a free workshop changed the clutch. However, the car always made a bit of noise, but drove like ne and now the car was inspected by the Kia dealer and since then the noise has been quite extreme. I uploaded a file that I recorded with my mobile phone directly under the engine/gear unit. It should be noted, the noise is only available with completely undefeated clutch, no matter if gear is inserted and moving or standing in idle mode. If you put only one foot on the pedal very easily, so the noise is gone. I did this a few times in the audio recording. Who can help. My suspicion would be something new at the backstock. In a similar thread it was then a bearing of the transmission input shaft. Thank you very much.

Hello, my friend is currently driving an Opel Corsa with 1.4 engine and 100 hp (EZ 10/2012) and has driven almost 40,000 KM. So far there were no problems, the fuel consumption is about 6.5 – 7 liters depending on the driving method. Yesterday we saw a current Rio in black in a parking lot, either completely new or freshly washed, beautiful aluminium rims etc. That looked great. Unfortunately we could not ask the owner, therefore my request to you: How is the general reliability of the R io? Are there special problems? Which engine should be used (not so lame or fuel eaters)? What is the general material quality? Are the inspections more expensive than generally in this car class? How are the dealers on it (mostly smaller plants)? The 1.4 with 99 hp and the 6-speed transmission might like, because no turbo and direct injection, therefore probably more problem-free. Maybe it also does the 1.2 with 84 hp. Due to the good experience with the Corsa she wants to have a m may not experience any brand change deterioration. Thanks for the help. Greeting Jüppken

Hello Rio community, I have already typed my fingers sore, but obviously I ended up as a pollen allergy sufferer in the wrong car?? Various car parts portals lead a lot of interior filters, but just no pollen filter for the new Rio YB. The “overly customer-oriented” Kia dealer Hemmerle here in Munich has just told me that the part employee has work at 5 pm (it was 4:54 pm!) and before I get any more unqualified answers from dealers, I thought I asked in the Motortalk-Rio-Forum! I hope you can help me! Greetings and good ride with the glitter shortty

Hello! I have a question about a roaring side noise, which makes our Picanto 1.1 (May 05). In the under-touring driving operation, especially in the 1st and 2nd gear, when we leave the driveway, it roars under the car. Not very loud, but clearly audible! Today my wife was with the car for the first inspection. I had typed on a loose thermal guide plate – somewhere under the front car. I had looked under the car last week when changing on winter tires, nothing found I thought that the Kia workshop could do that today! Their explanation: Some Kia (& also Ford) would cause internal motor imbalance in the said operation – hence the roaring. There is nothing to do about it – but it would mean nothing more – except that it is roaring! Who can say something about it? Who has this problem himself, or at least heard of it? What explanations do you know? Can you do something about it? bye at the expense of Kia!? Bye

Dear forum participants, I urgently need your advice and help with a Kia Picanto purchase. 1) Consumption of petrol – diesel one can assume that the diesel is approximately 4.5 l on average and the petroler is 5.5 l (spritmonitor). What experiences have you made? 2) Will the Kia Picanto crdi be delivered with a particle filter, which is also tax recognized? How much do I pay for taxes? 3) What is a good price for a Picanto EX, metallic ? 4) Is the term “day registration” a disadvantage? what do I mean by a storage vehicle? 5) Are the Internet intermediaries serious? What do you have to pay attention to? I would be very happy about answers!

Hello! After having bought a new used car a few weeks ago, it is my wife’s turn with a new used car.

We have now received the cover commitment of the partial cascade and also the payment receipt and now have to find a new car as soon as possible. In doing so we have found some cars for ourselves. It is now necessary to clarify welc We are not talking about prestige, but about economic efficiency, durability under normal conditions, etc. In the selection are: – Renault Twingo, EZ 10.2006, 11.500km, 7500 EUR, window lifter electric – das wars – Renault Twingo, EZ 08.2005, 8170km, 5990 EUR, window lifter electric – das wars auch hier – Ford Ka, EZ 04.2006, 14650km, 6950 EUR, window lifter electric, ZV, air conditioning, radio with CD – Ford Ka, EZ 05.2006, 14150km, 6990 EUR (already negotiated), El. FH, ZV, air conditioning, radio m.

This post I also put in the other brand forums to get a transparent picture, so please don’t be surprised! Thank you for your answers. By the way, something is coming, since we already z we are weeks without a car and we urgently need replacement. The decision is made no later than today in a week!! Dear greetings from the “wild-ridden” Junior-BS

Hello together, I’ve been passively reading the forum for some time, but I wanted to get in touch with you and get rid of some questions. I (20) am looking for a new mini car, which I would like to use for city and university commuters (30km a day). The price is as follows: I won’t be able to buy directly, but I will be able to pay 2500 and stutter over installments. However, as a whole the car should be at 7 or 8000. I can’t make friends with 107 or C1 visually. d find the Fox too spartan. Somehow it drove me to the Koreans. Kia Picanto or Chevrolet Matiz, whereby today’s test drive made the Picanto as a great car tasty for me. My dealer has a 1.1 EX with rims for 7.900. CD probably also goes with. Do you have experience with EU imports or re-imports? Good dealers in the area Ruhr area? I have unfortunately little idea of the EU history. Thank you for your answers, Philipp

Hello dear people, yesterday I got my first new car and decided for a Picanto LX in diamondblau-metallic. I bought it in Dortmund at a KIA dealer. Yesterday and today I first showed it to the neighbors, the family and some friends and received only praise. Most are astonished how much space/legroom the small car offers. The trunk is of course a little sparse, but for larger luggage we still have a C-Max, as fits in I had all-weather tyres raised directly, as I would not drive the summer or winter tyres at 3000 km a year, so I would have to replace them rather because they are too old. When the car was handed over the car the car gave me a bouquet of flowers and some small accessories e.g. KIA keychain. Very nice gesture. Now I have just learned about the rusting sheet metal and will look up tomorrow and treat the whole with a little bit of fat. Otherwise I can’t tell you much yet, but I’ll tell you about my experiences in the next few days. Greetings Flea66

Hello, I’ve been having the problem for a few months that my brake doesn’t work properly. If I drive slowly (0-35KMh) and brake my brake doesn’t work every now and then, I brake and it only ratters if I go off the brake once completely and again it brakes normally. The problem doesn’t always occur. This morning I could only push the brake two centimeters and from there was the so-called block and the car didn’t brake even after I went off the brake once. I was already in the workshop but they didn’t find anything My brake pads are new and the brake pads still look good. I don’t know what it might be and ask for help. Thank you very much.
