Category: Kia Stinger Forum

Hello I would like to buy a new car and I came across the Kia Stinger gt with 370hp and wanted to ask for experiences if it is also quite sporty for its size or. Whether one already has a stage 1 on it. What the consumption or the maintenance is? What does it look like with tuning potential? Exhaust power open suction repair costs or stable engine? Stand between C43 M340i and Kia stinger GT Vllt you can not compare the because BMW and Mercedes simply a a well-known brand is still wanted to ask what are the pros and cons.

Moin. Recently the problems with the Stinger are increasing. The following occurs more and more. When the engine starts the Stinger automatically opens the flap and closes it again after a good second. This also works perfectly. By pressing the button, the flap should open at about 70kmh, which however it does not do. Even with the use of the remote control (of course only for test purposes on closed private premises) the lamp starts to blink, ever Sometimes it works again after a few minutes of driving, sometimes it doesn’t open even after an hour. Again in other cases the problem doesn’t occur at all. Before I go back to the workshop and need another week to find a problem, I hope that one of you might have an idea what it can be. Thanks in advance.

Hi, everybody, I recently noticed on the cover of the mirror on the passenger side an ugly little spot. Was not an insect hit and could not be polished away. It looks like the dark-Chrome-painting there is unsightly colored – almost as if it was ‘running’. The spot is not too large (~ 7mm), but does not look good. I can’t see any unevenness due to rockfall either. (I’m still making a picture.) Should I report this better or I don’t want to be too small-sized in the car dealership/workshop, after there was already a lot of back & forth. In general, I find the painting (Ascot green with me) at the Stinger very sensitive – did you have similar experiences?

Does anyone know pages with tuning parts (spoiler, diffuser, etc.)? I’m still looking for the certain “something for the sting. The emblems were just the beginning. Tomorrow there is still disc foil on it and in 1-2 months the sports suspension. About Google and Co I haven’t found anything really “usable” yet… The only parts I had found were the WestCoastCustoms and eBay parts.

I would be interested to know where you and the Stinger have insured (especially the 3.3) what the insurance costs. Perhaps according to the following scheme: Insurance: Costs: Additional payment UK: Supplement TK: mileage in km: damage-free class Options: Workshop binding, new value protection, etc. Perhaps the contribution helps that one or the other can reduce its costs or directly well & cheaply insure. Currently I have the following offers available: 1) Insurance: HUK24 Costs: 960€ (per year) – Part & All-inclusive surcharge UK: 500€ Additional surcharge TK: 150€ Running fee in km: 30000 Property freedom class: 3 (2.cars) – no other options booked – 2) Insurance: Ergo Costs: 110€ (per year) – Part & All-inclusive surcharge UK: 500€ Additional surcharge TK: 150€ Running fee in km: 30000 Property freedom class: 3 (2.cars) – no other options booked –

A friendly “Hello in the round! We were recently at the Kia dealer, unfortunately there was no Stinger on site. … we could not watch it live accordingly unfortunately no test drive was possible. The equipment, the appearance (on photos) and also the price have promised us very much. Also the interior looks high quality. The Stinger is definitely in our short choice and we also want to try to make a test ride with the GT. And 2 big advantages has the Wag in (for us): as a GT he has a V6 and four wheel! Similar vehicles are (Audi S5, BMW 440i GC) equipped good 25-30,000 € more expensive !!! Now we would simply be interested, how satisfied are owners of the Stinger in general (place offer, trunk, clarity, Navi) and then of course also with the automatic, four wheel and the 3.3 l engine??? Does the car drive relatively sporty, or do you still notice its weight and size (over 4.80 m) clearly??? Please not misunderstand: we don’t want a racing car, but it wasn’t just a good figure on the highway at 240, but also a bit of fun and safety on a winding country road….. Please don’t misunderstand: we don’t want a racing car, but it wasn’t just a good figure on the highway at 240, but also a bit of fun and safety on a winding country road…. which are offered by the Stinger in Germany – the Genesis G70 3.3T should have a slightly more sporty chassis, be about 10cm shorter, have a smaller wheelbase and be about 10/120 kg lighter … according to US journalists you notice that – what do you say about 10cm / 100 KG ???

Hello, next to the indication of the oil temperature, rotations (n/m) there is a “turbo indicator” from 1 to 3 bar. Even under full speed my GT does not reach even 1.5 bar. I wonder why KIA represents the indicator up to 3 bar, if not even the half is reached 1.5 bar. Does someone have an explanation for or after approx. 4k km already a defect on the two loaders? Greetings Patrick

I’ll start with: – Matrix headlights – Digital exterior mirror (as with Genesis) only with screen in the A-pillar – Beautiful diffuser/exhaust panels – Spoilerkit as accessory from factory – Better subwoofer – door handles from aluminium – switch Door armrest and left of steering wheel (tanks, etc.) illuminated – Modern, Digital Tacho – Beautiful Prellkopf What is your wish for a facelift?

Hello together, I know, the topic always provides a good ignition substance among car fans, but I open it anyway: It is about the air supply or the filter in my case the 2.0l T-GDI. But for all 3.3l drivers it is certainly not very different, except that there are 2 of them. When opening the air filter box it is noticeable that there is a plug-in module on the right with a flap, which apparently opens with the help of a magnet from a certain underpressure and thus more air I just removed this module and tested it. The difference of the intake noise – both in the stand and under load was already noticeable. The whole thing has become even stronger after I – now it’s becoming tricky – installed a K&N replacement filter. The hissing of the turbo and the general engine noise have already increased significantly in my opinion. Well, with the leisetreter probably not difficult either. Do you have with the “fold” in the Filt Is it worrying to always have the air supply through this conversion, which seems to be more intended for larger load operations? I am looking forward to your experiences. Best regards Chris

Dear community, I just had (for the second time) a strange bug, in which I can’t assign whether it’s the gearbox or the traction control itself. SITUATION: Car warm, mode sport, ESP/ASR on, in the middle of the AB, accelerates to exactly 211 km/h and suddenly the lamp for traction control goes on. Car remains at exactly 211 km/h and it feels like it is slowed down, as if by the limiter. As if it could not continue to power up in the 8th Da “D” I couldn’t see which gear I was in. Then – braked down to 120, switched manually over the rocker and back again to “D”. After that I went up to 235 km/h without any problems. Had I already had, after I switched a lot of hands/fingers before and then switched to “D” and high speed (from 200km/h). Did one of you already have that? Doesn’t feel threatening but also not horny at 200+. Thanks already for your answers. LG Chris
