Hello, I have a problem with my Kia Rio from 2012. The vehicle has a ZV with FB, and also Keyless Go. Occasionally and completely arbitrary my car can no longer be opened. It then works neither Keyless Go, central locking or directly key in the lock. Driver and passenger door remain locked. Only the trunk opens in all 3 attempts. The error occurred the first time about 14 days ago and since then determined to the 10 times. It behaves like this. , that I try for minutes until the car can be opened after all. The last time even the alarm went on. Possibly the car unlocked briefly (for maybe 1 second) and then immediately shuts the doors again?! Light does not at least go on in and on the vehicle. Does anyone have an idea what that can be? Door locks would rule out, as both doors are affected. It will probably not be a specific problem with Keyless Go either. I hope for help greeting, Anni

Moin! At the front left the wheel hub became very hot and the brake disc is smeared through. Before that I always heard a “wubbling” or grinding noise, especially in the roundabout or long drawn curves. In the workshop I was told that the brake caliper was fixed and it would have to be a new one, as well as discs and coverings in front. Said, even if it hit me as a stand-alone apprentice very hard… The noise was felt better after the workshop visit last week but still l Now I called the workshop yesterday, that the problem is not fixed, when I realized that the noise is getting louder again and the wheel hub is warm again. What could that be? I honestly don’t want the gentlemen from the workshop to be responsible for something else again and again and I’m a case for Peter Zwegat later…

Hello We are looking for a small car on the Rio. The design did it to us. The workmanship makes a very good impression. The test car was an edition7 with 1.4 L. The engine is also considerably quieter when accelerating than the dt. competition. If you do not expect the 109 HP, the performance for a small car goes in order. Only it remained the impression “less should not be”. The seller advised from the smaller engine, but they do all wrong. ls they think this is still in the budget. If something is criticized in the test reports at all, then the “flow weakness” of the 1.4 he engine. In the Focus report the smaller engine was referred to as the more modern and recommendable.No further test report gives information about it.Focus test report The only hint in the data sheets that it could be different engine development levels: The small engine has the longer stroke. 1.2er: 78.8mm, 1.4er; 75mm. Has anyone driven both? or can anyone confirm the statements in the Focus article? My dealer has only 1.4 on the farm. Greeting Bernd

In October 2008, the first time the engine check lamp was lit at my Kia Rio, Built. 2002, the front Lambda probe was replaced. The lamp lit up again, always after about 300 meters, then stays permanently on until the error is deleted. Every error reading indicates the rear Lambda probe heater, which has been replaced twice. Then the map sensor was replaced. After 7 weeks the lamp lit up again and as long as it is on the car consumes about 4 Li The 3rd Kia workshop searched for the error for 2 days. She suspects that the error is due to a rusted fuse box, as she could not find any other fault. I suspect this is pure desperation. So far, these repairs cost a thousand euros and I can’t afford more. I can’t sell the car in that condition either. I don’t know any more !!!

Moin all on the other hand! I have to buy the new KIA RIO before I come on the market and I still like to suffer it “live”! This should probably also become my first new car, have already Googled this already one or the other: by reason of how you should proceed, tips and tricks etc. … I wanted to ask you again how satisfied with the purchase of a KIA’s was!? Of course I would also be very interested how much % discount you got approx. the Rios seem to send a request by e-mail to a few car dealerships, with luck some of them will come back. The KIA dealer on site is of course point of contact No. 1, on 1 or 2% it doesn’t matter to me either, but with a bigger difference I would of course also go to the cheap dealer! Do you think there is something special to consider with a completely new model? Would you be nice if you reported a little of your experiences. I am also quite aware that it is from model to fashion l can be different… But that’s how you get a feeling… ^^ If someone is still thinking about buying the RIO, you can gladly exchange information about it! Greetings Tim PS: For all those interested: according to my current research I would get the Rio as Diesel 1.4 – Spirit. Should be about 15,500 + Metallic Lacing at the list price.

on Thursday I got my kia picanto eu new car (daily registration). since I found no reference to the sprites in the French operating instructions (I found everything else, all kinds of oil etc. but I found nothing to sprit) I just filled it with super fuel right after the purchase. thought to myself if he needs normal it can’t shahad and if he needs great I am on the safe side. meanwhile I found out in the internet that normally would have been enough. but now on the subject. I really filled it up, so a few liters after the tap gun has switched off and I have been driving since the approx. 380km. the tank clock is already under 1/4 full. I mainly drove the autobahn and that because of driving in also never faster than 135, mostly 110-120 and the air conditioning was not yet on. is the normal ? is the tank clock so inaccurate or is the consumption really so high because it has not yet been tested what do you have for a consumption? thank you already scum
