  • New Kia RIO from the EU? General questions and equipment issues

    Hello people, I am currently very interested in a KIA Rio. As an alternative to the domestic new and used car market I have discovered EU new vehicles. At the following dealer, should be no advertisement, I have discovered a nice offer:http://www.neuwagenkauf.com/eu-neuwagen/kia-rio/ In the end the Kia Rio with 109 hp in “exclusive” line with additional Navi, middle arm console and winter package for about 12.600€. But now I have a lot of questions open and hope the one or the other hee user can help me: – Is the 1.4 with 109 hp or rather the sticky 1.25 with 86 hp? -What about insurance with EU vehicles, has someone had problems with you? -What are the Kia Rio warranty conditions in general? -Is it bad that the EU car gets a day registration about 2 weeks before delivery abroad? And what does that explicitly mean for me? -Is the package with keyless entry and parking sensors necessary with Navi with a return camera? -Has anyone from And how much do the original inspections cost? I know questions about questions, but the first more “deure” car wants to be thought out I thank you in advance for your answers, Dominic

  • Questions about Rims, Nuts and Retrofit Emergency Bike for KIA Picanto MJ2016

    Hello all, I ordered a new Kia Picanto Dream Team Edition 1.2 last week. I would like to ask the following questions: 1.) Are original Kia 14″ aluminium rims delivered with the tyre size 165/60-14. If I want to mount steel rims with winter tires (originally from KIA dealers), do I need other wheel nuts? I currently have an Opel Corsa. There it was so that the same wheel screws could be used with original steel and aluminium rims, since in the aluminium rims correspond 2.) The vehicle will only be delivered with a breakdown set. Can a spare wheel or emergency bike be retrofitted? The breakdown set does not work if the flat tire has a greater damage. In addition, I did not want to pollute the aluminium rims and the pressure sensor with the emergency spray in case of emergency. If a standard wheel fits into the pit, up to which tyre size (155/70-13, 165/60-14 or 175/50-15) would it work? On an emergency wheel, which can I use (tire size) e with rim data)? Does eventuel fit that of the Hundai I10? 3.) Does anyone know the further data of the rims (hole circle of the wheel screws, middle diameter on the wheel hub)? 4.) Is there an overview of all approved tyre and rim combinations of KIA? In my Corsa there was a conversion catalog, in which the aluminium/steel rim tyres approved by Opel were listed (including rim letters). There were also other sizes listed with corresponding runs or inserts. would be great if someone could answer one or the other question. I would also be happy about general information and tips about the vehicle. Thanks in advance. LG Corsiman

  • Kia Rio I (DC) Motor bubbert ???

    Hello together, first time the vehicle data: Manufacturer: KIA MOTOR (ROK)Model No.: RIO Kombi (DC) (RS) ccm: 1493 Type: 1.5 16V Year of manufacture: 08/00 – 02/05 KW / PS: 72 / 98 Key No. : 8253 / 329 When I start the car, everything is fine. After a short warm-up phase the engine purrs like a kitten. Also mentioned, behind is a sports exhaust with a really good sound. Otherwise the Kia is completely unobstructed. Now to the problem, in the first gear it pulls normal. the second one is really sluggish up to a certain point ( 30 – 33 kmh ), then there is a thrust as if a turbo is in use. the whole goes on in the third and fourth gear. The fifth gear is then again problem-free up to the next Macke. Then comes a slope in the course of the road the engine starts to bubbling and I can then give gas as I want, there is nothing more. then I have to see that I come to the right and turn off the car. After a short waiting time can This game is unfortunately repeated very often lately. It’s not quite as funny on the highway (strips) when the children are sitting in the car. Finally I changed: air hose (was torn) spark plugs (that wasn’t it) valve cover seal coolant thermostat Maybe someone from you has some advice, or unfortunately someone already had such a problem?I thank you already for your answers!!!

  • Roof rack ProCeed (CD)

    Since some posts expressed interest in a roof rack, I have now taken some photos of my Thule Wingbar Evo, which I bought a few days ago for my ProCeed. I decided to use the Thule, because there is no roof rack in the Kia accessory list yet and it will probably take some time for Kia to offer one myself. In addition, I have the possibility to change only the feet and use the rails (at least s ofern the width fits, there are some variations). My first impressions in touch points:

  • Adjustable wheel temperature car air conditioning

    After a good 1 week with the vehicle I found the first point which is not well solved or I am too stupid to set it. The two buttons to adjust the temperature are large and easy to operate, but the reading of the temperature is not well solved. Either the cover is mirrored or it is too dark. The adjustment of the valve lighting also did not manage any remedy. So I am too “doof” for it or someone has a tip how to read it ka nn? Yes, the function also goes via the touch display, but only in the “submenu”, I know that the display is briefly displayed in the display and disappears. And before the “principle discussion” comes here again :-), I am still looking for the “perfect degree number” and then I don’t play around anymore.

  • Tank reseve

    Now he is positively surprised by the new xceed gt line Bin. Questions. Where do you see the tank reserve? How to turn on the highway and cross-country assistant? Like the hold function. Yes there is the manual there will be cherry

  • must the battery be registered from the Xceed PHEV CD at replacement?

    Moin in the round. I have been having the problem for a long time that my Kia Connect app battery reports “attention” or warning”. I then charged it with a Ctec charger, but the messages come despite charging and driving again and again. Voltage is measured more often, with message about 12.4V. I type that it is already gone after only 3 years. Do you have to register something with a tester like with Audi or BMW, or simply exchange and good?

  • Bad (caputte?) automatic dipped-beam

    Good day together In the last 2 weeks I have the problem that the shadow of trees is enough to turn on the dipped light. It is only enough if I have the sun in the back, that the dipped light is almost permanently active on. If the sun shines sideways or from the front it works normally until just a shadow comes. In the summer I mostly drove without automatics, in order not to blind my work colleagues when parking in the morning, therefore I have now And if you don’t know which sensor of this is responsible for it, then I can test it with a flashlight.

  • Presentation

    Hello together, I wanted to introduce myself briefly. I am the Maik, come from Hagen and am since 03.11.2023 proud owner of a Kia XCeed GT-Line (but still have to wait a good 2 weeks until the delivery is done). “Come” originally from Opel (after 27 years changed), because I last neither with the vehicle (Astra K with Bi-Turbo-Diesel, engine damage (at 80 thousand KM – chain skipped on the day of the Opel measure) and after 5 months waiting time (because engine block is no longer available) and ic h was very dissatisfied with the workshop and communication. So no one wants something like this, no matter which manufacturer I am right now quite postively tuned that it becomes much more pleasant with Kia and the new workshop (even if I read here that there is “Zipperlein” here and there 🙂 ) . So I will also contribute if I have to contribute constructively to the topics. VG Maik
