Hello together, can someone tell me if the mounting of the new Kia logo in high gloss black can be packed without any problems on the bonnet or is there a problem due to the preface lift model because of the hole in the bonnet? Perhaps someone drives the completely new Stinger with the new logo ́s and has the current dimension of the logo (length and width) greetings

Hello together, today I picked up my Stinger after the 90000 inspection. Changed the valve head seal as well as adjusted. When I was at home I listened to the warm engine and found that the engine from the left engine compartment half a bit nailed. I’m not sure if this was always like this and is normal or if something was wrongly set. The engine had always been clambered when it was completely cold but only for 2-3 minutes, which is a lot of fun. I have your stinger. But that was more of a nailing than a clacking. Can it be that it has always been like this and I’m pretending. Does anyone have any experiences?

Hello Stinger-Freunde, I have a question about the guarantee: the start of the warranty was the 12.07.2018 I bought the car September 2023 (53,000km) with 2 years remaining guarantee. I still have 19 days to have my maintenance carried out (as of 54,500km) Today I was at Kia and the employee told me it was the big inspection due with approximately 2,500€ – 3,000€. He looked into the service booklet and told me that between entry 2 (February 2020) and entry 3 (March 2021) the Garan Since I don’t really have a lot of idea, I was shocked when he showed me that. Ask you: Was he right or did he get lost? If my first maintenance with the vehicle, previous ones took place by the previous owner. I attached pictures. Thanks and greetings, Moppelche

Hello, I have been driving a Stinger GT since 2018 (just 50,000km). After a brisk motorway ride I noticed a loud grind in the exit. The front underbody cover had dissolved! Without foreign influence! Now the hammer ;- the car dealership charges me 462€ for the repair!!! Kia refuses a warranty or kulante solution! After a Sorento and Ceed the Stinger was my third Kia and now certainly also the last. Ride with your GT better only straightening speed, bevo That’s what happens to you, too.

Good morning together, my headlights were actually too low and now you can be really satisfied with the illumination. A good illumination is also certified here, very interesting test report:https://www.automativ.de/…ut-sin-die-led-leinlighter-id-81623.html Only the scratch sensitivity bothers me but this seems to be the case with all headlights with plastic scattering disk nowadays…

Tach together, was not active here so far, but now look for your advice. Play with the idea of getting me a Stinger GT for a long time, because the car is simply nice, not standing at every corner and is now quite well under 30,000 euros. Personally I am more a fan of rear driven cars (had already various BMWs), but the Stinger GT is an all-wheeler. Recently a friend told me that someone from his place has a Stinger GT with rear drive and this car will probably be for sale soon, as the owner no longer drives for age reasons. Supposedly bought in Germany, i.e. European version with steering wheel left, no US import (there are definitely both variants with RWD and AWD). That would of course be the banger, the car would then have to be significantly lighter and more agile. But can this be or is it wrong? Couldn’t find anything in the German net, and according to Kia dealer there was no Stinger GT with RWD, white l the sales numbers were too small and therefore you did not offer so many different versions, almost just “full equipment”. Do you know anything about it, there were perhaps exceptions or special orders? Maybe someone also has a Stinger GT RWD here? Thank you!! Stefan

Hello Recently, he has been jerking up and speeding up. Some data about this: km 85000 Built. 2019 (3.3l 366PS) no city car, about 60-70 000 only highway, rest of highway. If I’m doing moderate acceleration it’s just like that, but with strong acceleration it shakes / jerks noticeably. Must soon be in the workshop anyway regarding recall action. I am interested in this, if clutch problem or gear oil flushing should be necessary, this falls under the mobility guarantee ? At 85000km to sl early for clutch problem? But not to be excluded.

Servus, and indeed my friend did something rather stupid. While he was on the highway he had his engine(diesel) turned off, at about 130 km/h. A real explanation why he didn’t and right after he turned it on again also came directly a message for a transmission damage. A week later he was now at Kia in the workshop and they told him that he had to renew his injectors. Now I wanted to know, since we both know very badly about cars only When he stopped the engine (like a honk) he left the gear on D. Hope for quick and helpful answers and also like to put him down for it. Mfg A Kia Optima on 2016 he has.

Hello together, My Stinger is equipped with the winter rims offered by Kia. They are labeled MAK Panorama rims. Also the tyre pressure sensors offered by Kia are installed. These sensors are labeled Schrader 3131. These sensors are not allowed for these rims, as they only have simple clamp-in valves. Due to their design, they can only be used up to 210 km/h. You can find the ABE’s of the rims here, they are the numbers: rim front – E24 124R-000094 rear rim – E24 124R-000095 On page 7 the following is stated: A34 Only tubeless tires and rubber valves or metal screw valves with outer nut are permitted, which largely meet the standards (DIN, E.T.R.T.O. or Tyre and Rim) and are suitable for a valve hole diameter of 11.3 mm. For vehicle versions with a design-related maximum speed of more than 210 km/h, only metal screw valves are permitted. These rims were sold quite often in my area (large area Aachen) for the Stinger. If you are also affected, turn to your dealer and do not drive more than 200 km/h. I became aware of this problem because a valve leaked. Greeting Lok

Hello together If I have turned on the main light at my Stinger two light cones about 45 degrees upwards. Can a Stinger owner tell me if this is only the case with mine or if this is the case with all of them? Thank you very much
