  • Kia Sportage or Opel Frontera ?

    Hello Foris I would like to buy a new (used) car that is suitable for the horse trailer (at least 1 horse with 500 kg). However, I only have a maximum of 7,000,- Euro available. So far, the narrow selection has been made: Kia Sportage , Gasoline with 128 hp, Bj 2000/2001 How much can they actually pull ? More than 1.6t ? Or then just the Opel Frontera 2.2 Sport, Gasoline with 136 hp, Bj 1999 Which would you decide for ? Do you have experience with Frontera ode r Sportage ? Would I be very pleased with answers. Greetings, Naduah

  • standheiozung – sporty

    Hello sporty-fans, I would like to get a heater for my sporty diesel automatic. Is relatively expensive, but certainly worth considering – 1.600,- Euro. Now to you: Who also has a heater in his sporty. Is there anyone with experience in this area? Otherwise I am very happy with my new car. Consumption still a bit down, then everything is chic!

  • Particle filters for Sorento-EU model

    Hello, one of you has experience with the installation of a particle filter for a Sorento-EU vehicle. Kia Germany refuses me the installation with the foundation, it is not a German vehicle. Does this play a role if I have my vehicle retrofitted environmentally friendly?! Supposedly the ABE for the particle filter applies only to German models. However, I cannot order a corresponding filter as a private person – I tried, and was referred to Kia Germany . Does anyone have any experience or suggestion on how to solve this problem?

  • Guarantee really so sneaks ?

    Hello, have tried the “search” but did not come to any result. Is the guarantee really as bad as reported several times or is that the opinion of people who know someone who had a KIA years ago ? I’m concerned about getting my legitimate claims settled within the legal warranty period. It’s not about driving to the workshop because of every pipe and making molli. The more screwed around it gets all the worse. small things prefer to live in order themselves or live with it. What is important for me is whether I actually get the expensive parts like ECU, transmission etc replaced for 7 years. Greeting vest

  • Which winter tires on rim for my Kia Sportage???

    Hello to everyone, I bought my Kia Sportage in summer d.J. and also made a deal about a set of winter tires on rim. The dealer now offers me a “Hankock tire” (test opinion at “satisfying” … I don’t want to. We live “rural” and I have to be able to drive up a driveway to our house even in winter with lots of snow and ice… Who can advise me which tire would be useful or whether you should order it at 16 or 17 inches (drive now on 18 inches). Thank you for your support! Lg from the Sauerland

  • SPORTAGE 3 Set Xenon Lights!!??

    Hello in the help round! have been driving the sportage 3 for half a year and have found that the xenon light is rather completely lit to the right! I see in good German on the left lane quite little…..and to the right everything is too much illuminated. when looking closer the headlights you can also see quite well that the driver’s side lights are set so the lens is also set to the right (direction)! I was at the friendly kia dealer to ask if ma n the lens can do a little bit to see a little bit more on the left, so bordstein and above all your own driving track… unfortunately only axel twitch!! who knows about the headlight maybe??? unfortunately I found only one height adjustment……no for right to left Please for help thank you

  • KIA Sportage 3 SL / SLS and rattles?

    Hi, the Sporti comes in the closer selection of the coming new car. My wife and I have however concerns that the quality might suffer something. We do not like it ABSOLUT that something crackles or clatters. How are your experiences regarding the noises? Even with cobblestones there should be peace in the hut. It will be the 184hp diesel with automatic. As an alternative, for example, the Mazda CX-5 and Q3 are available. We sat in the kuga, which is designed from the inside totally cheap. The sport is much better. Greetings Andreas

  • Experiences Maintenance costs / warranty at Kia – Maintenance intervals wg Interested Kia Proceed 2019

    and another topic that would interest me … lack of experience… The NEW Proceed is a real eye-catcher and has all the ingredients on board that must be bought expensively from other manufacturers. 7 years warranty are a word / promise, annoying ONLY that e.g. the Media-Navi unit is LEDIGLICH limited to 3 years ?!?!? Where is the logic there ? That can be very expensive when it breaks … Well… What does it look like with maintenance and maintenance costs at KIA ?? one of you inquires about the intervals at the GT / GT line ? Where can you get an overview ? There are very few Kia dealers and correct comparisons therefore rather difficult …. e.g. GT: this one has in series the 18″ and the larger brake … WR MUST therefore also necessarily 18″ be driven …. is not exactly cheap …. Brakes (covers and discs) should also become a lot more expensive …. With VW and Co you can book monthly maintenance packages which are worthwhile among others nd, at Kia – as I have heard – this also goes … BUT you “buy” or pay for a period of up to 5 years or similar the whole amount (about 1400 euros) in advance when buying … ?????!!! Has anyone heard about it ? therefore, possible maintenance and wear packages would be interesting to cover the costs or to minimize “risks” … How are your experiences with the warranty periods over the period of 7 years? Are the really soooo “culant” or leave the “readyness” from the 3rd or 4th year after? Dake in advance..

  • HD camera?

    Good evening, *INFO to the front has found nothing by search* It is about the rear camera, since someone has experiences or Krecommendations for an HD camera? The from KIA is eigtl more bad than right, but the purpose does not fulfill this for 2021. Is there accessories cameras which replace the original via P ́n ́P and function directly via the BUS? Should already be HD. I mean the GEN5W can indeed also 720p or even 1080p greetings

  • Rest current of 1 A

    Hi guys, I’m a little bit perplexed. Because I had a problem with the battery, I came up with the idea and measured the rest current. And look, it’s 1A. By pulling the fuse I determined the circuit on which the car radio and the central locking hangs. In order to be able to circle the problem, I would have to know what everything is behind the fuse. Maybe someone has a kind of circuit diagram for me? Where is the motor control device? Thank you. Total
