Good morning, yesterday for Sunday I am on the motorway from one exit to the next. Because the train was free, I was able to test how far the Stinger was ready to speed up. At first a slight climb went up, after that the motorway fell off slightly (A4 between Siebenlehn and Berbersdorf in the direction of Chemnitz). The Stinger accelerated first without murmuring until about 265. Then the slight slope came and he moved on until 274. Here it seemed to me that the Stinger The speedometer stopped and the speed went back. There was no more propulsion. I then went off the gas very easily and the speed fell abruptly to approx. 235. I then went down at the next descent and still about 5-6 minutes on the country road to the finish. After turning off the fan then ran with enormous noise and turned for about 10 minutes at high speed. What are your experiences with the Vmax? K someone has been driving for more than a few seconds with beyond 270 km/h? Did you also have the feeling that you will be electronically slowed down at about 274? Perhaps the Stinger gets thermal problems at this speed and then throttles the performance. At 13 degrees yesterday it could not have been due to the temperatures. I noticed this behavior once a few months ago, there was also at 274 end and he obviously has power away n. At lower speeds up to 250 km/h I have not yet noticed something like this. Only the fan has then also spoken after the end of the journey.

This morning had “significant” jerking and it came to a brittle situation because I didn’t get off the spot fast enough. Another vehicle had to brake heavily to avoid driving into me. I have to honestly say that it’s enough for me now with the crap. That’s why I would like to collect some information here to pass it on to my dealer if necessary. One topic is certainly the fuel pump, which was not the solution in all the cases I know. In America give T there is also a TSB for tugging: SERVICE ACTION: THETA 2.0L TURBO ATF WARMER CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT (SA333) The problem should be to recreate this tugging as it is not every morning. Sometimes it runs like lubricated in the morning and today the coronation. I have already thought of a marten, but can’t find anything. Maybe there are still suggestions here and ideally even solutions.

Hello, wanted to know what the 3.3l V6 has in performance reserves. Then I found it here on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv2LY3E8dfshttps://www.benzoner-chiptuning.de/benzoner-tuning/kia.html Not bad 😛 Greeting Slowy

Hello together, since the topic in the original “Tuning parts for the 3.3” will probably be a little longer, the original should be the clues and here the discussion, experiences take place. One then has it a little easier when looking later. Just as a suggestion:

Moin, Moin, now that I have ordered the 3.3er (coming at the end of October) I think about what options there are for the Sahen exhaust system. I did not have the Bastuck flap system for the first time, because I want to get a picture of the existing sound of the 2019 model. If this is not satisfactory however the question follows – what can you do!? Should the Bastuck then be there or are there alternatives, which are cheaper or perhaps more for the price of Bastuck Does anyone have any experience?

Hi Stinger driver, since I did not find a dedicated topic here, I thought I opened one. We all drive one of the most beautiful cars and we read out here, some have individualized their Stinger. I think that you should at least be allowed to share it here in the forum. Therefore I would like to start right here my Stinger MJ 2021, after the Eibach Pro kit has been installed for about 500km and the work on the emblems has been finished. Your contributions to this topic. Greetings Vlaves

Hello together, help, I have a problem 😉 Can someone give me a tip on how to get the front emblem (new Kia lettering metal) and the rear emblems on the new Kia Stinger harmless and safe? I am grateful for every tip. Thank you Andrea from Leverkusen

Hello together, short question in the forum : Was there the Kia Stinger as a pre-facelift, i.e. without OPF until 08/2018, even with the Velours/Alcantara leather interior with the red decorative seams or only with smooth leather leather replica/ nappa leather? Or was there the velours only later? Thanks for your help.

Before Christmas I had my Stinger GT for a 90,000 inspection at a free workshop. This then told me that they could not adjust the valve play (which is specified at 90tkm) at the Stinger, which probably lacks a special tool. Since it is a free workshop and the Stinger is now not a common vehicle OK. I then got in contact with all KIA dealers near me. They all told me The same “Joa, we don’t have that here either”. Of course I bought the Stinger used and can’t go to the dealer where the Stinger was bought at that time (which is at the other end of the Republic). Now my question, does anyone in the area Paderborn have any idea who could do it or is there somewhere a list of the dealers who are qualified for the Stinger? Unfortunately, the dealers could not give me any information.

Hello, I’m new here, I’ve been driving a Stinger since the beginning of October. Therefore, my profile here is still unfinished. I was lucky enough to get one of the last new cars (Ascot green). I only covered about 500km with the Stinger, because the leasing of my previous car was still running until mid-November. So everything is still quite new for me. To my question: First – I’m rather ‘old fashioned’, prefer music as mp3 files via USB stick. So far I had a Peugeot 508 II, who had the Focal sound system on board. I was used to playing the tracks of each album in the order I ‘pulled’ them from the CD. The Stinger offers me the tracks within an album (or an interpreter) but only in alphabetical order. Can this be changed somehow? I haven’t found a setting option so far. Even if I manually insert a number or a letter (i.e. 1 title name, 2 tit) elname or A title name B title name etc.) unfortunately does not change anything. In addition, I get almost no album covers. I have not yet found out which file format and/or file size is necessary to display the pictures. In the Peugeot all covers were displayed, i.e. that each image file is in the folder of the album. A demand from the dealer so far did not show anything, they probably would have written Kia – an answer is still pending. Vi Thank you in advance for your answers.
