  • Problems with TPMS/RDKS tire pressure sensors from Electronicx GmbH (Ebay)

    Hello, has any of you installed exactly these tire pressure sensors and they work?https://www.ebay.de/…/283646115205 I don’t have anything to do with them. In retrospect, they fell on top of the A*sch again. I was recommended and I bought them. In the auction it says: “The sensors are already pre-programmed and ready for use, they only have to be learned about the vehicle”. With my ignorance I thought now, install and the vehicle recognizes the Senso after a certain learning phase (car ride) of itself and everything is done. Puster cake! After two weeks and more than 500 km of car ride, the menu still shows the tyre pressure in the display: display only when driving. So the Stinger does not recognize the sensors by itself. I was back at the tyre dealer who installed the rims, tyres and these sensors to me. I did not buy the components there, but only had the assembly done. He could do with two different Only with the ATEQ reader it worked. He went into the device menu, selected Kia Stinger in 2018 and left the four sensors (clockwise) according to the default from the front left to the back left (clockwise) and said then I had to drive now 20 minutes … ???? For me illogical, because no data exchange between the car ECU and the reader took place. I thought that he now has to send the read out data via OBD to the control unit? I also have the ebayer “If you don’t have an automatic learning process, you either have to learn it stationary with a device or via OBD2. Programmed means that these are programmed for your vehicle.” I also found no information in the operating manual (on-board book). I don’t look through at all and only know that I am the doofe. For me, the ebayer’s information in the auction is wrong and the reason is rather an au I also find the procedure of the tyre dealer with the device incorrect/unlogical. But as written, I am ignorant. If I only had the original rubber sensors from Korea sent me for the same price. Does anyone know any advice?

  • Kia Stinger GT BJ 2019 (New logo possible?

    Hello together, can someone tell me if the mounting of the new Kia logo in high gloss black can be packed without any problems on the bonnet or is there a problem due to the preface lift model because of the hole in the bonnet? Perhaps someone drives the completely new Stinger with the new logo ́s and has the current dimension of the logo (length and width) greetings

  • Kia Stinger – After valve play control easy nailing from the engine compartment

    Hello together, today I picked up my Stinger after the 90000 inspection. Changed the valve head seal as well as adjusted. When I was at home I listened to the warm engine and found that the engine from the left engine compartment half a bit nailed. I’m not sure if this was always like this and is normal or if something was wrongly set. The engine had always been clambered when it was completely cold but only for 2-3 minutes, which is a lot of fun. I have your stinger. But that was more of a nailing than a clacking. Can it be that it has always been like this and I’m pretending. Does anyone have any experiences?

  • Guarantee gone?

    Hello Stinger-Freunde, I have a question about the guarantee: the start of the warranty was the 12.07.2018 I bought the car September 2023 (53,000km) with 2 years remaining guarantee. I still have 19 days to have my maintenance carried out (as of 54,500km) Today I was at Kia and the employee told me it was the big inspection due with approximately 2,500€ – 3,000€. He looked into the service booklet and told me that between entry 2 (February 2020) and entry 3 (March 2021) the Garan Since I don’t really have a lot of idea, I was shocked when he showed me that. Ask you: Was he right or did he get lost? If my first maintenance with the vehicle, previous ones took place by the previous owner. I attached pictures. Thanks and greetings, Moppelche

  • Courage/guarantee

    Hello, I have been driving a Stinger GT since 2018 (just 50,000km). After a brisk motorway ride I noticed a loud grind in the exit. The front underbody cover had dissolved! Without foreign influence! Now the hammer ;- the car dealership charges me 462€ for the repair!!! Kia refuses a warranty or kulante solution! After a Sorento and Ceed the Stinger was my third Kia and now certainly also the last. Ride with your GT better only straightening speed, bevo That’s what happens to you, too.

  • Errors do not disappear after replacement of parts: throttle valves, suction tube pressure sensor, temperature

    my Renault Megan 2 Convertible 2004 Gasoline spins correctly and I wanted to ask if it is a known problem (perhaps in the wire harness or similar??) The following errors are present: throttle valve (code 1592) Suction tube pressure sensor (261) and coolant temperature sensor, in the tach leaks check injection and ESP / ASR defective Suction tube pressure sensor and temperature sensor replaced with new parts, both errors immediately reappear after loesching. Drossel flap I ordered, the but old opens up quite well and the vehicle doesn’t move and runs clean. Only when starting it doesn’t always start from the first time. Is something similar known?

  • Petrol, 1.6 l. 82 kW / 111 hp: vehicle does not start, workshop does not find faults

    Hello, our Scenic 2 (Bj 2007) makes life difficult for us. -much text- I hope that someone here can give at least tips or has an idea. About 3-4 weeks ago we were at the TÜV and after that the problem or a long illness broke out probably definitely. The engine does not start. The starter orils continuously, the car does not work. Workshop arrived him and after many attempts he went on. The spark plugs were replaced. The car jumped on it as before. 2 days e no longer later. Important at this point: It is not a reliable start. If you start the vehicle then you have to tap the accelerator pedal. If you don’t, it goes out 50% again (only in the cold start). If you tap it briefly, it purrs like a kitten. We have now been doing this for about 1 year. He went on instantaneously once, once he has nailed 2-3 seconds. However, he was always at the first attempt. Again at Renault called and “battery” as diagnosis. The starter didn’t work either. Called again “Remote diagnosis not possible, bring by” Our free workshop finally picked him up and gave us a devastating answer today: “We can’t find the problem”. They had charged the battery for a short time, which he went on for a short time, but not again after that. So it was a “happy jumper” over the last week and felt 100 start attempts he went on twice. But immediately after less than 1sec w The error memory last week was empty. It was already read out after it was already fetched. Still short basic data that comes to mind spontaneously: Since this day it can no longer be started by brake/start button, but only by clutch. If you try it with the brake is always “put in empty run”. An error message that we did not know before. I don’t know if this is related. I just wanted to mention it. I read something about the OT very often. Giver. Is that appropriate? Or are there other things? I had not been able to find it myself or was it too anxious to break something.

  • Renault Megane III RS -> Power cable for power amplifier installation

    Hello dear Renault fans, I have bought a Renault Megane RS 250 CUP. Unfortunately, this one has only one standard system. I still have a power amplifier, a subwoofer and the necessary accessories from my old vehicle. I would have built this system already long ago, but I don’t know how best to get from the car battery into the interior without drilling etc. I’ve already searched the inet but found nothing suitable. I hope that one of you will find a good solution g has ready! Thanks in advance 😉

  • What would you pay for a 9-3 Aero Coupe?

    Hello for about 7 years a 902 Coupe without turbo and was always very satisfied now with 270tkm he slowly weakens to smaller details but no matter… looking for a new vehicle for me I found that it should be a Saab Coupe again because it just fits to me. So mobile and wanted and these two candidates stuck in the grid (black Coupe petrol and Bj after 2000):nr1 or No. 2 without wanting to disparage anyone I find the 5000+x as VHB plentifully set too high. think that 2500-3500 are realistic because 11-year-old Turbo Coupes are not very popular and the Saab target group slowly but surely disappears (joy that you are still here :-)) I see this wrong in principle everyone can ask for what he wants but how do you see it. Is of course also stupid to offer one half of what he would like to have but I can wait 🙂

  • Kawasaki Z125 – turn signal do not flash, indicator lamp lights permanently

    Servus, at my Kawasaki Z125 I switched the turn signals in front and rear for LED turn signals (https://bit.ly/3nozl2q) and the turn signal relay for a load independent (https://bit.ly/3yZOmtr). The machine only has one turn signal control lamp for both sides. My problem is that if I want to blink, no turn signal will work, but the control light will light up permanently, so it doesn’t flash as normal. I had already tested the function after I had the rear turn signal. n Blinker was the first to switch, back then the original blinker had still worked properly at the front and the indicator light flashed, but the new rear blinker didn’t. I had changed the new blink relay again in hindsight for the original, the result remained the same. Does anyone have an idea what it might be due to? My next step would have been to reinstall the original relay and solder the resistors. LG Simon
