Hello together, a few weeks ago I bought a used Kia Ceed from 2019. It was particularly important to me that the car was kept in a Kia workshop to make sure that it was still covered by the factory warranty. Shortly after the purchase I noticed that my car was knocking at the start in the morning (after a long standstill). This problem also occurred on the following days. I immediately contacted the workshop and received an appointment for today. I today I was contacted by the workshop and informed that the engine’s air filter was probably not properly sealed during the last inspection. This caused the knocking when starting. The last inspection took place about 3000 kilometers ago, while I only own the vehicle for about 600 kilometers. This means that the car has not been properly covered for 3000 kilometers with a Now I am concerned that this could have led to long-term damage to the engine and would like to hear your opinion on it. Since I have both the warranty from the dealer and the Kia factory warranty and this was a fault of a Kia workshop, I would also be interested in how I should proceed best.

Hi together, a few weeks ago I got my winter tires on it. While I was on my way to a customer, I noticed from 100/110km/h that my steering wheel began to vibrate. Suspicion: tires not balanced. Unfortunately, I could not cancel the appointment with the customer so I had to drive a total of 800km. On the way back I noticed that the vibrations somehow decreased but the suspension felt every fugue and every hubbel let through into the body. The next day, I went to the workshop for testing the chassis (my vehicle still has a guarantee). There, nothing was found. Statements such as: subjective impression, too high air pressure, the change from summer to winter tires…. etc. “Stand der Technik” Vibration away > Hard and damp rides still exist. It’s just as if I suddenly had a hard sports suspension. Very uncomfortable. As a layman, for example, I couldn’t find an oil leak at the dampers. But from the axle suspension or something, I have no idea. O-Ton mechanic: “These are many different parts, that can be anything. I can’t help you.” I’m a bit perplexed. Does anyone have tips? Or clues? What could it be? About every little help I’m Thank you. Greetings

Hello Ceed driver, especially the 1.4 Turbo people here, My vehicle: 1.4 T-GDI DCT, KM stand about 4200 km. I had already 2 times a low power loss, both times a motorway ride with approx. 120 km/h, wanted to speed up then, but nothing comes. After a short time (perhaps 1 km driving distance) everything returned to normal. In the Hyundaiboard exactly a similar phenomenon with the 1.4 engine was discussed on a page-wise basis, but believe without result. Noise did not occur to me, just that the engine just didn’t turn up anymore. I know that here in the forum some drivers of the GT with the 1.6 he engine have problems with fluctuating charging pressure, should the 1.4er also be affected by this??? Looking forward to a lively information exchange. Thank you and greetings

Hello, I think, instead of a used car like usual, this time a cheap combination new, with discount e.g. to buy about “My car” to drive 5 years without technical problems and then to sell well. With the current used car prices the value loss would perhaps not even be much greater than with a used ? – so the idea As a good possibility seems to me the Ceed 1.0 T-GDI Edition 7 Sportswagon, 3 cylinder, 100 hp, 998 ccm, possibly also the 1.0 T-GDI 88k W Edition 7 Sportswagon, i.e. 120hp. With My car, the small 100hp variant in the basic equipment would cost a good 1800€ instead of 22490 after deduction of the discount. That seems attractive to me. I have some question marks: Can such combinations be sold in 5 years as well as now? Is the Ceed in these two engine variants ok? Does it make sense to buy via such sales portals? That’s why I would be very interested in assessments, thank you in advance!
