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 !!!

KIA RIO 2011 – New car purchase
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.

Kia Picanto Consumption
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

Prepared CD rear flap
Hello together, as it is with a new vehicle, one still discovers over time a few small things. In my case it is now the tailgate, which stands on the right side a little too high. One sees well at the offset on the LED bands between tailgate and taillights, see photos. I have tried it already over the two adjustable buffers at the bottom of the tailgate, but did not bring anything. Of course I will drive with it to the workshop, but would like to hear before w Is it necessary to correct the hinges and/or the catch hook? Has anyone ever had this similar? Is as written a little thing. But what the penible eye once saw…

Motor oil
Hello professional people , I have a Kia ceed sw ED year 08.2009 petrol and I want to change engine oil now and I’m kind of confused! Because when I bought the car was the engine oil 5w40 inside and when I bought the car I also changed oil at Freiewerkstatt and you also made 5w40 in and now I want to change oil again and I looked in user manual that the manufacturer writes and recommends 5w30! There is a picture below from the side of the operating system The question now should I take with the oil change 5w30 what the manufacturer recommends?? Or what the workshop has ever put in??? Why did the workshops 5w40 and not 5w30 recommend what the manufacturer recommend??? Did you not pay attention to it??? Sincerely

Exhaust sound
Hello, I have a GT since recently and am satisfied with it. But what really bothers me is the “exhaust sound” during normal driving and easy acceleration. I read again and again about a great engine sound that the GT should have. But with mine the car just sounds like a small, old Corsa with a hole in the exhaust! It was like that, according to my wife, I wasn’t there when she made the first test drive with a proven at the dealer. I already had from the sound generator that many have jammed off. But mine is not loud and sporty, but just sounds bad! How does your sound sound like when you ride normally? In sport mode it sounds a bit duller and more voluminous. Not really sporty, but acceptable. Greetings

Disable Tracking Wizard
Good day dear community, I have been driving my Kia Ceed for 2 years now and have never had any problems with my Kia. Since the newest time my girlfriend drives my Ceed often and we have noticed that the car has a lane stop assistant, because I always manually deactivate myself with the intended button to the left of the steering wheel. However, my friend did not know about it and so it came to the fact that she almost rushed into the oncoming traffic when it k Now my question would be to recode the car or set it in any submenu so that the lane hold assistant is regularly disabled and I have to turn it on manually and therefore actively. Sincerely BubiJack

Poor braking performance Proceed GT
I have been driving a new Proceed GT, MY22 for 2 months, with currently 2000km of driving power. From the beginning I feel the performance of the brake, better to say the bad pressure point, as unfavorable. You can dose the braking power poorly, or only with more powerful pedal pressure. A strong full braking is no problem, but the brake feht the “bit”. The braking power is felt too late at too strong pressure on the pedal. For comparison I have a Ceed CD MY22 with the 1.5T motor u and a Ceed GT test and the two vehicles have a much better brake to be dosed. In the near future I have a workshop appointment with the dealer to analyze the problem. The brake discs are subjectively considered all uniformly “deployed” without abnormalities. The pedal pressure/hardening with the motor switched off is also available immediately after pedaling to test the membrane of the brake power amplifier. What could be the cause? Poorly ventilated braking system ? Maybe a software adjustment, because the assistants also access the brake? Or does the Proceed GT generally have a weak brake without a good dose “bit”?

Ceed SW CD brake discs worn after 45,000 km
Hello, I got my Kia Ceed SW EZ 03/19 from the inspections today. There I was informed that the front brake discs have reached the minimum strength and have to be changed soon. However, the brake lining still has a good 60 per cent strength. On my objection that the vehicle has just run 45,000 km and still the first brake pads on it are but the discs must not be broken at all the mechanic has not entered any further and has already given me the If the brake pads were down, I could understand that, but I’m new to the discs far ahead of the brake pads. I’ve looked at them at home and it’s true that there’s a decent degree on the edge, so that the discs are finished. But I can’t and I don’t want to accept that. That would mean that this is the least-valued material installed as brake discs. I don’t think that there is anything about the brake system, otherwise the brake pads would have gone off first. I don’t want to paint what the cost for me is every time after 40 percent brake lining wear to have the complete brakes replaced for just under 500 euros. Do you think it would make sense to contact Kia for material errors or something like that? I’m of the opinion d as something like this must not happen, and since I have no influence on it the guarantee should actually take hold. I know that braking though wear parts are but am the opinion that the discs would have to last far longer than the coverings. It is a Ceed SW 1.6 diesel with 136 hp and double clutch transmission.

Display Radio Sender Logo
Hello together, I started to create a list of favorites on the radio today. I noticed that I only get the logo on the display with a few radio stations. Most of them show me only a “grey microphone picture” instead of a transmitter logo.(Whether DAB or FM) How is that with you? On the radio stations, it shouldn’t be. My friend drives a Skoda Octavia, with him all stations logos are displayed.Whether DAB or FM.
