As you can see on the pictures, my display only shows stripes. Last week he did that before.. few seconds later it went on but then, that’s why I didn’t think about it. Today it stays with the stripes.. no matter which button I press! I think there will be nothing else left but to drive into the workshop.. unless someone has an idea what else I could do!? Thank you in advance.

Hi, slowly I don’t know what to do anymore. Brief description of my problem: At almost 58 000 KM, the engine switched from gas operation to petrol operation, continued without further problems. I felt a short jerking with power loss. Now, the Kia at about 64 500 KM, it is so that jumping gas into petrol happens without further problems, as written short jerking with power loss, the engine control lamp goes on, everything that can glow red also ang This happened to me four times (4x). The Kia was towed every time, because there were only two cylinders left. The 3rd cylinder fails again and again. Selected errors: P0300 Burner P0303 Burner Zyl. 3 In the 3rd repair a petrol injection valve was replaced. No 400 KM further, in the middle of the highway again the described error. Ruckeln, motor lamp, run on two cylinders, engine. The Kia is built 05/2015 has now 64 500 Can someone help me? Can I still give the car back? Greetings from the Marienkaefer

Hello guys, have a Kia Rio 1.0 Turbo GDI Automat. Platinum Edition. First registration 11/18 (new car) Now to the facts: If I drive the car normally warm and start again 1 hour later (not always), really comes a noise where you might think the engine flies away) In several workshops I was assured that this has to do with the hydraulic control chain (control chain tensioner). This loses in the hour the oil, which runs back into the engine. St If you then type the car within the next 1-2 hours, the viscosity of the oil is still so thin that the chain tensioner has to be cut completely with oil. With longer service life, the oil becomes firmer, so that there is still a little oil in the tensioner and there is no noise. Have you also had experience with it? Seems to be normal and not only in the motorization of the Rio. Lg Dominic

Hello car friends , immediately when I learned about the new Rio I was back and forth from the design. Since it was supposed to be my first new car, everything has to be right. Of course this also includes the color and so the car should turn blue. The only problem: Kia Germany seems to have run out of colors. As the only “characteristics” there are brown and beige. Full of hope to be able to learn more about the topic of the Kia car house around the corner I got on the way and put my Anlie In the near future, there will also be the Rio in blue?. Answer by the seller (in the sense) “No rather not.” on the grounds that “if the ten colors would offer there would be murderers delivery times” (which would be relatively irrelevant to me). Still, I researched a bit further and didn’t have to look for long… http://www.kia-rio.com/main.html?w=0 There is the Rio as a European model already exactly in the blue that I want -.- (no idea if the Ver Is there a way to get to a blue Rio in Germany? Unfortunately, I don’t know about the topic of reimporting and buying abroad at all and I don’t even know what serious sources there are. Unfortunately, another color is not possible, because I know myself and I would have to think every time I saw the non-blue one : “you’re also in more beautiful”. Maybe I can’t find the right color for you. help me here. Would be very grateful for answers Sincerely Stefan

Hello, I have a Kia Picanto built in 2005, 1.0 , 61 Ps When you start the car everything seems to be still normal when you start driving but then the car doesn’t get any more power it seems as if you can bring everything under 4000 revolutions hardly any swing than power. Only from 4000 revolutions it’s a little better. What’s up is that the fuel consumption is very high. It consumes half a tank of gasoline for 50 km. The car was also at service (couldn’t make a mistake). I still have to mention I live in Ireland and am in despair here. Does anyone know this problem? End candles have already been replaced but nothing has changed about the problem. Can someone please help me please Gruss Steffi

I don’t know any more. who can help me????

Hello Kia Rio driver, my sonman got a new Kia Rio, now there are 400 kilometers on it and we wanted to refill the windscreen wiper liquid. I noticed a screw opening on the engine block. It looks like a screw would be missing. In any case there is a thread in it. Maybe the man on the assembly line was not in shape and did not tighten the screw properly? And the screw was lost by vibration? Or that’s what it belongs to? I would like to save my way to the workshop. Please see photo, red circle, there is the hole. It is left next to the oil measuring rod. Model 1.2 Gasoline Thanks Greeting from Richard

Hi to everyone! Since I have some time in the near future, I wanted to get some treats for my little guy. So thought about something like: -eFH for the back – I called my Kia dealer and he told me that you couldn’t change the rear side. Do you know a good retrofit set? (Please no cheap scrap from ebay) The price wouldn’t matter…incorporation wouldn’t be a problem….are there any problems with the warranty here? -Passform seat covers – Thought more about special anfertiti There are only colour-patterned parts at the Kia dealer. Do you know a page where you can make seat covers? – Interior lighting: I’ve seen that some Daihatsu Cuore had footroom lights, B-pillars spots etc. as original accessories.For the Picanto there is no such thing I’ve once heard of someone who has such LED spots and bars in several colors at a company called Foliatech…are the legal ones? Shouldn’t there be s on 2fast2furious, only a subtle illumination of the interior…Do you have links? So that’s it…wanted to take advantage of the opportunity where our mechanics are in good mood and I can install THX…

Hello you out there, my girlfriend wants to buy soon en “new” used ones. I noticed the picanto, I find the is en snuggly car. now I only see that the picanto generally has no height adjustable seat, and my girlfriend is quite small (1,50m) would still fit the combination. or which vehicle can you recommend? it should actually only be as small as possible, a switchcar (so no smart fortwo) and have a climate. P rice up to max. 7000 eus and reliability I presume times . gruss markus
