  • Kia Picanto –Accessories- Retrofits–

    Hi to everyone! Since I have some time in the near future, I wanted to get some treats for my little guy. So thought about something like: -eFH for the back – I called my Kia dealer and he told me that you couldn’t change the rear side. Do you know a good retrofit set? (Please no cheap scrap from ebay) The price wouldn’t matter…incorporation wouldn’t be a problem….are there any problems with the warranty here? -Passform seat covers – Thought more about special anfertiti There are only colour-patterned parts at the Kia dealer. Do you know a page where you can make seat covers? – Interior lighting: I’ve seen that some Daihatsu Cuore had footroom lights, B-pillars spots etc. as original accessories.For the Picanto there is no such thing I’ve once heard of someone who has such LED spots and bars in several colors at a company called Foliatech…are the legal ones? Shouldn’t there be s on 2fast2furious, only a subtle illumination of the interior…Do you have links? So that’s it…wanted to take advantage of the opportunity where our mechanics are in good mood and I can install THX…

  • kia picanto for little ones too?

    Hello you out there, my girlfriend wants to buy soon en “new” used ones.

  • Kia Rio – driving instructions? Satisfaction with climate car?

    Hello! This morning I picked up the letter of our new Kia Rio (Saphir-Blue, 1.4 EX Top). Tomorrow we will then take the car in reception. We are looking forward to the small one! In passing I asked myself today also for the driving instructions, which was only said that a drive-in would be “actually no longer necessary” but we should “take it the first time a little more leisurely”. General manufacturer regulations for how long or whether there are upper limits on We were not told speed/speed. Question: Is there anything in the manual on this topic? What was told by the dealer about it? If you have made a drive-in oil change, after how many KM did you have it done? (We were named 1000 km – with our BMW it was 2-3000 km).Other question: How satisfied are you with the automatic climate control? Generally we had no choice, since this is included in the Ex Top package, but “works” the climate automatics satisfactorily? I know the ClimateCars from Golf IV/Bora, Sharan and the BMW 1 (I liked them best so far). Would I be very pleased about your opinions! Greetings Hendrix1000

  • Gearboxes or coupling noises

    Hello everyone, I have a little problem. Mostly this is in the morning when the car has stood overnight and is cold. And that is when I start the car in the morning I make the idling in and let the car run for a short time before I start. As long as I hold the clutch everything is good, but if I let go I would say grinding, knocking mmm maybe also painting noises from the gearbox or the clutch. I think however transmission comes only when you get the Kup When you drive you hear nothing, really only in the stand and idle. If you have driven a few kilometers then the noise is almost gone in the stand. I would say that it sounds almost normal. Every now and then a quiet beat. Maybe someone had something similar and can tell me something about it. In the workshop I was already there the car was warm. He said it was all good and I could continue driving like this and I told him put the car there in the evening and he would test it in the morning. It is a Ceed Sw, petrol 1.5 liter with 140 hp and hand-operated. The car is 1.5 months old and has 2000 KM on the speedometer.

  • Anzeige Tank content – warning very early?

    Hello, the first full refuelling for the Ceed CD 1.4 GDI was due. According to the on-board computer, the remaining tank content was only enough for 30 km. However, I was able to refuel just 43l, ø consumption was according to BC 6.2 liters, then manually calculated 6.7l. In fact, with 50 liters of tank content would thus have been possible significantly more than 100 km. Do you have similar experiences and can a more accurate calculation be expected with increasing mileage? Thank you and a nice weekend e.

  • KIA XCEED Platinum 1.5 T-GDI 48V with shift flaps?

    Moin, I’m looking forward to a new purchase. i30/Fastback PRIME/N-Line or XCEED Platinum. Now Hyundai has for the first time shift-wap in the i30 Prime, in the N-Line for a long time. What does KIA actually do? Not only does the configurator still configure model year 2020 on March 5th of the new year, but you also know little details how KIA will process the 1.5 in D. I also read that in the Platinum MJ2021 the genuine leather package and the sliding roof are an option, analogous to the i30, where it also with Prime and N-Line exactly these two options P-Dach and upgraded seats there, with N-Line even more prime contents. I am optically but more in the XCEED bearing, but if the 1.5 48V DCT does not come soon, and no shift flaps come, then it could be the i30. Maybe one of you has cool info, nice weekend @all

  • Kia Proceed GT

    Hello, I want to buy the Kia Proceed GT anew. What do I have to pay attention to? Switch or automatic. I was advised not to use the automatic because it supposedly starts to mute after a few 1000 km and then buy the 19th model. But new car, as a 19th model. Answers itself and I tend to automatic. What would you advise me to do? Switch or automatic and with or without a panoramic roof. What are his problems? Thanks for the answers.

  • KIA STINGER GT (370hp)

    Hello I would like to buy a new car and I came across the Kia Stinger gt with 370hp and wanted to ask for experiences if it is also quite sporty for its size or. Whether one already has a stage 1 on it. What the consumption or the maintenance is? What does it look like with tuning potential? Exhaust power open suction repair costs or stable engine? Stand between C43 M340i and Kia stinger GT Vllt you can not compare the because BMW and Mercedes simply a a well-known brand is still wanted to ask what are the pros and cons.

  • Bastuck problems with flap

    Moin. Recently the problems with the Stinger are increasing. The following occurs more and more. When the engine starts the Stinger automatically opens the flap and closes it again after a good second. This also works perfectly. By pressing the button, the flap should open at about 70kmh, which however it does not do. Even with the use of the remote control (of course only for test purposes on closed private premises) the lamp starts to blink, ever Sometimes it works again after a few minutes of driving, sometimes it doesn’t open even after an hour. Again in other cases the problem doesn’t occur at all. Before I go back to the workshop and need another week to find a problem, I hope that one of you might have an idea what it can be. Thanks in advance.

  • Dark-Chrome lacquering

    Hi, everybody, I recently noticed on the cover of the mirror on the passenger side an ugly little spot. Was not an insect hit and could not be polished away. It looks like the dark-Chrome-painting there is unsightly colored – almost as if it was ‘running’. The spot is not too large (~ 7mm), but does not look good. I can’t see any unevenness due to rockfall either. (I’m still making a picture.) Should I report this better or I don’t want to be too small-sized in the car dealership/workshop, after there was already a lot of back & forth. In general, I find the painting (Ascot green with me) at the Stinger very sensitive – did you have similar experiences?
