  • Pre-heating

    Hello Forum, shortly I will finally pick up my Stinger. I had agreed with the dealer at the time that a stand heating (Webasto or Eberspächer) should be installed. This was probably possible at the time when ordering, only the manufacturer would have withdrawn the approval as there is no installation instructions. Does anyone know anything about it? Did one of you have a stand heating installed by the dealer (in 3.3)?

  • Lacquer / scratch

    I’d be interested in your experiences, which colors you’d rather see scratches on. I’m swinging between red and ceramic silver at the moment. I’ve seen red live, ceramic silver has unfortunately not my dealer. Red is striking, but the ceramic silver on the pictures here in the forum I find also really appealing. On my grey BMW you didn’t really see scratches and it looked dirty, too. With my successor in blue this looked quite different. However, g Is there this 3-layer paint (which has advantages at all exactly) only in white and red. Unfortunately, my Stinger will not stand in any garage, but only on the driveway (Carport is too small).

  • Pollutant emissions KIA Stinger 2.0T model year 2018

    Hello, yesterday I read an interesting article in the AutoMotorSport-edition. The 2.0T gets away with the test number of particles. Almost full score and this with the model year 2018 without OPF. If you read the article like this then the dust emission is really low even without the OPF (model year 2019). I am happy with my model year 2018 and do not have the risk that the filter causes trouble. Articles I have just attached. Have a nice weekend!

  • Stinger 3.3GT Track broadening and lowering H&R spring set

    Moin, at H&R there is now a lowering set with springs around 30mm. “The new H&R sports springs for the Kia Stinger come with part reviews and cost 315 euros.” There is also a track extension Trak+ from 40mm to 60mm. “The track widths are available from 132 euros per axle.” The article reads:http://www.auto-news.de/…/…_DogR-Sportfeder-Kia-Stinger_id_41287

  • Wheels for the Stinger

    So Kia has a hole size of 5×114,3. It’s hard to find in the net beautiful rims. With the size 5×112 is in the net a mass of choice. Maybe the one or other rim ring adapter deals with plates from 5×114.3 to 5×112 to equip. Write how and what you did Zeck’s entry and your rims you think to mount.

  • Transmission oil flushing

    Has any of you ever had your gear changed or rinsed oil? If so, what did the change cost or the flushing? Did not find anything in the net?

  • Exhaust gas temperature sensor

    Gude people, I have a problem with my Kia Optima. The MKL lights up constantly and also let the error read out and also delete it again. The error was P247100 circuit exhaust gas temperature sensor series 1 probe 4 Vorrkat DPF signal too high. I now let the sensor change cost about 350€ with installation at Kia. Problem after 4 days went on again the MKL. What can this be a problem?

  • Electrical error? Rear fog lamp remains on

    Hello everyone from the forum, I have a problem with my fog lamp since today. This no longer goes out after I had you on. Even when the vehicle is switched off and left the lamp is still on and sucks the battery empty. For information: I had an AHK installed by Kia and the car house now suspects that the error is here. If someone has any idea which fuse the fog lamp is so that I can pull the fuse and my battery is not empty until the Kia workshop can take care of the matter. Thank you for your contributions and greetings go out.

  • Turbo defective? Power on highway suddenly gone

    Hello together I’ve been adding a new Kia Stinger for a good month. Newly picked up from dealer with 50km. Now I’m at 1,000km and allow me to be a bit more sporty after the entry phase. From sport mode to the highway entrance and then, suddenly during the acceleration…, no more power. Turbo indicator on the right side stands on 0. Partly a very small bar that appears and disappears. The Stinger only drives without turbo/without construction of the charging pressure . 0 BAR Neither smoke comes from anywhere from the vehicle, nor smells anything strict. I don’t hear a whistle from the turbo either. Motor lamp or anything else doesn’t glow either. It wasn’t like I did a kickdown. Can you possibly understand what it might be, before I go to the dealer..? And as I said, the vehicle was always driven comfortably during the 1,000 km. Thank you!

  • Double exhaust diesel

    Hello, I have the Diesel 4WD and especially for optical reasons I want the exhaust tailpipes on the left side. Is there a way to connect them to the exhaust system so it also “smokers” in winter? My dealer only suggested to me the “fake solution” with blind tailpipes. Can someone help me? Thank you, Greetings, Oli
