  • Caution! Wrong tyre valves/sensors possible for winter bikes.

    Hello together, My Stinger is equipped with the winter rims offered by Kia. They are labeled MAK Panorama rims. Also the tyre pressure sensors offered by Kia are installed. These sensors are labeled Schrader 3131. These sensors are not allowed for these rims, as they only have simple clamp-in valves. Due to their design, they can only be used up to 210 km/h. You can find the ABE’s of the rims here, they are the numbers: rim front – E24 124R-000094 rear rim – E24 124R-000095 On page 7 the following is stated: A34 Only tubeless tires and rubber valves or metal screw valves with outer nut are permitted, which largely meet the standards (DIN, E.T.R.T.O. or Tyre and Rim) and are suitable for a valve hole diameter of 11.3 mm. For vehicle versions with a design-related maximum speed of more than 210 km/h, only metal screw valves are permitted. These rims were sold quite often in my area (large area Aachen) for the Stinger. If you are also affected, turn to your dealer and do not drive more than 200 km/h. I became aware of this problem because a valve leaked. Greeting Lok

  • High beam Stinger

    Hello together If I have turned on the main light at my Stinger two light cones about 45 degrees upwards. Can a Stinger owner tell me if this is only the case with mine or if this is the case with all of them? Thank you very much

  • Consumption diesel and regeneration DPF

    I would like to suggest an exchange on this topic. I am a little surprised about the behavior of my XCeed Diesel. In normal operation I have a consumption of approx. 4.7 L, which I find very well. Now my problem, the frequency of cleaning of the DPF I find not normal and totally dirty the consumption. The cleaning starts with me again and again all about 80 km. With my previous diesel the cleaning took place approx. all 600 km. That can not normal How’s that with you?

  • Whispering noise at per ceed

    Hello, since the end of March I have the Kia pro ceed 1.6 lx with summer package. I am completely thrilled by the car, only now unfortunately a big one comes but: For about 6 weeks the vehicle gives from speed 160 a very loud whistle noise of itself. It is not that this comes from the wind, because it does not slowly become louder but suddenly starts starting from about 160 km/h. I can best describe the sound like this: It sounds like someone immediately on the tires a microphone in of course was immediately in a Kia workshop and then came the usual, namely the demonstration effect. When I drove with the workshop master over the highway, the car did not give a “peep” of itself. I noticed then during my later journeys that this noise only occurs when it is very warm weather, so from about 25 degrees. Must now wait for warm days to drive to the Kia workshop again I hope that this tone will then “report” so that the Master does not think I would suffer from hallucinations. Perhaps someone from you has already had this problem, would be nice if he could inform me then.

  • Kia Stinger – What are you going to change?

    Hello, purchase decision is made. It will be the Stinger. Now I ask myself what I would change. There is always something you don’t like. 1. Exhaust gas system for what does justice to a V6 (yes, you can talk about it for a long time). Drive moped and need a little emotion while driving. 2. The Kia emblem. No, have no problem driving a Kia. But for real, the design of the manufacturer’s logo is underground. Will you exchange it for the E of Kia. The Stinger lettering comes on top of it. Or the GS middle, and Stinger lower right. On the bonnet then the E. On eBay one seems to have already recognized the need. 3. Handlebar depletion. A good saddler should be able to cover the middle part, i.e. horn cover, with a chic faux leather. The logomulde can be filled up. Let’s see if this collides with the air bag function. 4. USB ports. Find the one in the center console in the front fac h a little lean. There should be something in the hand compartment on the passenger side or in the rear storage compartment of the center console. What does it look like with you. Some ideas ? Greetings Slooowy

  • Stinger GT purchase advice

    Hello, I came to the Stinger GT in my search for a new car and fell in love with him. Actually, I wanted a BMW G30 540i x-Drive, but I always loved the M550i, but I am now seriously thinking about whether it should not just be a Stinger GT. Just a pity that it does not exist with massage seats. But have some questions and I am happy about feedback from you Stingern owners Have read a lot and what more or whoi It’s clear: – Would like the Stinger GT MY21, i.e. with the new Navi/Display, even if I liked the rear lights from the first one better. Visually and functionally, I find the new display far better than the one from the 1st MY17 and the 2nd MY19 (where the mount was then changed from the 1st display). I don’t see the extra price for the Tribute Edition, and I don’t like the colour of the interior. – Actually, I would like to have the panorama roof, even if it’s clapping ka nn, but I like light & air from above. Only I have some concern that you will get a little cramped (you lose about 5cm in height). I am good 188cm tall, can someone give feedback on this? – How is the space available as a larger person in general? – With the interior equipment I find the suede equipment with the red seams most beautiful, even if it is difficult to judge on pictures how it can be viewed and touched in real terms, compared to the nappa leather. Until now sat I don’t know yet. – With the colors I swung between Ascot Green, Ceramicsilber and Deep Chroma Blue (even though I think that it’s almost in the direction of Violett in videos). – I would have liked to install the Bastuck exhaust system. Now I have also read about the problem with the hum. How bad is the huming at 120/130 km/h on long distance really? Undriving? Narrow? And can you drive the system generally quietly? So city traffic etc.? – After the purchase I would the Sta I’ve never driven one before, but what I’ve read so far about driving behavior in some situations has been enough for me to assume. Otherwise, I’m grateful for every tip, hint or feedback from you. Thank you!

  • Stinger wanted! Region Saarland/Nearly RLP

    Hi, everybody! I’m a colleague of your fora mods MadMax and Space star 2001 and I have a somewhat unusual question: I’ve been dreaming about a Kia Stinger for some time and the wish has matured so much in recent months that I’ve been looking around the “relevant platforms” for a suitable one since then. I also found one that I really like, but unfortunately it’s 300 km or three and a half hours away. which I am looking for more intensely, unfortunately not a single car in my area is available at a car dealership that you could try. At this point the rarity has its disadvantages, but buy a car without even having the touch of a feeling for it is not so my thing. And because of a test drive or a seat sample 300 km to drive… Puh, difficult… Don’t you happen to know a way to get in contact with someone? Do you know someone who knows you or gives you e s here in the forum randomly someone who comes from the Saarland or adjacent RLP, which I could ask? I would of course also show myself recognisable. First of all thank you for your hints! Many greetings, Andreas

  • Oh, no, hail damage!

    That can’t be true, my beautiful Xceed got hail damage. I finally found a garage parking space at home for 6 months and in Austria it caught me last week 🙁 God’s thanks but only few hits (about 15) and not so strong, so only “smaller” bumps. Next to me a few other vehicles were parked, which looked worse. Old Fiat Berlingo, rather crushed. Mazda 6, also significantly more bumps, VW Touran, also much more bumps. Lucky, or Does Kia have better sheet metal? Processing with insurance is running, I very much hope for good repair with Smart Repair, my 1st hail damage at all, after decades of parking on the road. What are your experiences with Kia vehicles in this regard?

  • Connect does not indicate the location of the car

    Hello you love, I didn’t find anything under “Search”. My Connect app always indicates that the car is at home, although it is driving around the city. All data come across, e.g. range, whether my wife has steering wheel heater etc., but not where she is. And NO I do not stalk my wife, but I noticed it because I looked for the electric range because of charging. Reset with toothpick did nothing.
