Hi, I have a short question for the screwdrivers among you. I have here a Kia Ceed III CD from 06/2018 140hp. This one has no washers at the bolting of the brake lines on the caliper. Is this normal or is this missing? At the brake was sometimes indisputably groped and therefore I am unsure about this…

Hello, I think someone took the outside mirror with me on the driver’s side, so that this now has scratches on the non-painted plastic plug. I marked the place on an example picture. New the parts are very expensive, so I looked on ebay times for something used. Now there are some mirrors apparently without dead angle assistant. Does anyone have experience, whether I could buy this and convert it? Meiner has dead angle assistant. Also a question that I am looking for are all mirrors of the Ceed CD foldable and heatable? Can I convert the technology from mine to the “new” or is it not possible? Thank you in advance if someone can help. Greetings

Hello people! My Ceed, with a current mileage of just under 3500 km, vibrates during braking from higher speeds (from about 120 km/h). Since I already had enough of this for vehicles from the VW Group, I suspect once again very strongly warped brake discs as a cause. With a mileage of 3500 KM it is natural for me that this has to be handled via the guarantee, even if brake discs / pads are a wear part. As mentioned earlier, I had to have such experience before, and as far as the topic is concerned, I am already sensitized, and watch out! It can’t be the driving style, because there were also brake discs at VW which then worked 80000 km without any problems. The salesman and the service technician said at the takeover that I should use the car quite normally, braking is not necessary. My questions to you, specialists or users with knowledge of the material: – Which equipment supplier provides the brake discs + pads for the KIA Ceed? – Is such a symptom known at Kia Ceed, are there users here who have experienced the similar? – …. and can recommend better brake discs / pads? – Can the car user somehow influence the durability of the brake discs / pads (except my above precautions), or is it s tark depending on the quality of the installed parts? – Why does this happen again now, had such a fault picture at VW 3x and every time it was changed on guarantee … would finally like brake discs, which also hold 80000 km! Do not drive like a Formula 1 driver and torture my brake discs. Care for cooling and not constant “grinding” of the brakes / permanent brakes! From that, what else should I do? At VW it was good then, after which I came the 3rd time and so much Is there no longer a proper long-lasting brake? PS: In brief appointment with Kia, but I would like to clarify in advance whether someone with possibly “better” brake discs has had good experiences etc. The discussion round is open. Thank you in advance for the answers!

Hello, here is a comparison of the two plug-in hybrids at VOX Automobil. https://www.tvnow.de/…/…rav4-plug-in-hybrid-a-sparwunder-3529322 To save yourself the long waiting time, you can jump to the third chapter.

Hello everybody, I’m very impressed with the full-digital instrument display in my Ceed SW BJ20. But I noticed something today that wasn’t like that until now: pretty much in the middle, where the “Auto Hold” symbol is, a little bit seems to be cut off below. Was the days with Mr. Wash and I cleaned the car inside too. Can it be that the alignment/centering of the display as a whole was somehow changed? If that’s possible, where can I do that? Didn’t find anything? with an example – even if I change the angle of view, a part remains cut off below, but only with “Auto Hold”. The other symbols close clean and in time. Has anyone noticed this before or could someone alternatively look at themselves, if that is similar? Merci!

Dear knowledgeer, according to information about setting/activation of day-km counters, there is something in the manual of the infotainment about it. I did not have such a manual with the new car purchased in Oct.20. Is there any such manual? Or are there any other clues as to how to adjust. The hints in the manual of the Ceed, (thick rind) starting in Chapter 4-80, do not help me either. Thought so earlier that one has a button to put at the beginning, if one had fuelled. O who otherwise wanted to use the day-km counter in between. Does someone have a helpful tip for this? Thank you in advance EMWE1100

Hello all, I have now switched to a Ceed GT (BJ 2017) (see picture) – is also really fun the little but the Bastuck ex factory is sound-technically a disappointment (not even completely made of stainless steel). Can someone please tell me if a plant from Kat or only the ESD were changed if you have put a hook in the sports exhaust? Am I thinking about buying the associated Bastuck VSD but that only fits, of course, even if the connection tube of Bastuck is. b unfortunately no lift here. Thank you! Best regards and nice weekend

Hello together, since April I am the owner of the new Kia Ceed_sw. I am quite happy with the vehicle (previously Opel) as well as the processing. What bothers me uncanny are the loud rolling noise of the tires. Funny way only on the rear wheels and depending on the road surface quite different. Who has the same experience and am I here alone.

Hello together! I’ve always been in a “1a” workshop with me around the corner. My KIA dealer with workshop is 30 kilometers away and that’s personal too far for the customer service. My workshop also works with my KIA dealer. I.e. if he doesn’t get along or needs to know something, then he calls there or drives the car himself and checks it. My workshop always fills in the full synthetic oil 5W-40. That was actually always a good idea for me. n Dorn in the eye but now that you mention it*, I’m quiet again 😉 No I really can’t complain. They’re absolutely good. No cheap homeer. Then I don’t have to reckon with restrictions on warranty. I hope so. *http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…ed-langzeitqualitaet-t4551219.html?…
