Hello! I’ve had a KIA Sportage GT Line NQ5 for a month now. In my sportage, the front seat heating takes quite a long time both on the driver’s and the passenger’s side. But for my feeling it only heats in the thoracic vertebra area (upper back) and in the lower leg area. At the seat and in the lumbar vertebra area (cross), where it would be most important for me, it remains almost cold in my opinion. I was also at the KIA dealer today. I mean, if it basically works, you can’t do anything. I meant that it just doesn’t work for my feelings in some areas. You could only ask KIA if you can do something there. He wasn’t willing to feel the differences with his hand, and only meant that feelings can be different from one person to another. I just find this behavior a cheeky one. What are your experiences with the seat heater? The seats also have a seat ventilation. Can it have something to do with it? Thank you for your answers. Greetings Claus

Long-term experience KIA Sportage QL FL 177 PS 1.6 T-GDI Spirit 2019
Moin, I would like to write a short report about our 2019 KIA Sportage. It is the facelift model with 177 HP in Dark Pentametallic (black). We bought the car NEW in May 2019 as so-called EU vehicle, which comes close to the German “Spirit” equipment. However, with the restriction to 17″ instead of 19″ rims and without the steering wheel heater – otherwise he has the Spirit equipment incl. partial leather. r had previously also driven the 136 hp version sample – but this engine is too undermotorized from my point of view. At that time the price was significantly lower than the offers we had received from a German KIA dealer. In the past years we were 3x for inspection at KIA, with self-made oil the costs per inspection were between 75€ and 180€. TÜV passed this month without any problems. We did not have a single problem in the last three years and therefore no problem. I am still very satisfied with the car, so that I can actually report nothing negative. The consumption is on average about 8.5 liters / 100 km – this is certainly not a best value but to be expected. At present the car has about 42 TKm down. Nothing nickles, the seating comfort is great and the equipment with BT, large Navidisplay etc. modern. The rear seat heating needs no one, but is nice to have. The Panaoramadac h is an extra that I would order again and again. In addition to the attractive design, the decisive factor for the purchase back then was of course also the 7-year guarantee.

Alternator and vacuum pump broken ?
Hello together, I’m new here on the forum of hence in advance something about me and the car. I bought today a Sorento 2,5 Crtdi with 140 hp, for me the first car of Kia and also the first SUV. I bought the vehicle with defective alternator. Nevertheless, I just wanted to try out in the forest, if because the four wheel works, but look there, it did nothing, only was at the back of the spin. Now I have read myself here and there a little bit to overha upt to get an overview, but I am also not deep enough in the matter to be able to judge my problem, so I hope to get a little help here if necessary. If I change the knob to 4×4 LO position, nothing at all, no reduction, you can also hear no adjustment motor. I have controlled the fuse of the TCCS, which is fine. Now I have considered whether the voltage of the battery (currently about 12,1 volts) may not be enough to switch En, would that be possible? Or is villeicht even the vacuum pump on the alternator to blame that the all-wheel can not be switched on, if the alternator is broken? Is the vacuum pump mechanically driven or by the Lima with electricity? What do you mean, would someone have an idea? Greetings, Jonas

Rear window heating
The rear window heating can be switched on and off by means of a voice command. After “back window heating is said to be, the command is also confirmed by the vehicle linguistically. The only catch is that the rear window heating is not concerned. If the rear window heating is switched on manually and then the voice command “back window heating is said to be confirmed but not executed. Why is KIA not able to perform this simple test itself and your software Don’t correct it?

Radio spins
Hello you love, I have the Clarion Radio NX501E in my KIA. The touchscreen is not so clear anymore, but you can only see that when the light falls on it. Now the car was for repair (recall from KIA). Since the Radio Total spins. The radio stations are no longer played, and you can no longer tap on a transmitter, it always jumps back and forth and always beeps. Although it is not touched. Does someone know each other and could help me? Or is the Ra I’d be grateful for Hilde. LG Jutta
