Hello, I hope you can continue to help me have a problem with my Stinger GT for a long time. Track plates are installed and lowering springs from HR. The rest is standard. The problem is at about 130km/h it starts with vibration. It also stops at higher speeds. If I am at this speed and switch to N also remains the vibration. It has already been checked 1. Tires and also new tires changed. 2. Rims have also checked nothing. 3. 4. New discs and brake pads. I’m desperate they want to mount new drive shafts that are very expensive and don’t even know for sure that it is fixed. Hope you had the same problem and already a solution.

Moin Moin, I just bought a Kia Stinger BJ 2021. However, he only has the standart exhaust system and I would like to have it retrofitted by Bastuck. The system for the Stinger is a flap system that opens from 70km/h and also has a remote control, with which you can open manually (if you are e.g. on the race track or not in Germany is of course only). Now to my question: Is it really a MUST that the flaps have to be controlled via the manufacturer remote control? O in 2025 there is not also a possibility to replace the remote processing with the smartphone? A control over the smartphone would be VIEL better than the dubious FB constantly flying around in the car and possibly to get any accusations at a control if someone discovers them. Does anyone have experience with it? Is there a possibility to let the control of the FB take over from the smartphone or can one possibly an additional module on the flap control bast before the installation Is this possible? I would buy this facility:https://www.sportauspuff-versand.de/…pe-endrohr-rund-v6-esd.html?… Or is there possibly a better and or equally good but cheaper facility that I should take? and since I can only pick up the Stinger from the dealer on 21.03., I would like to have it installed directly by him before collection. I look forward to your information and many thanks already in advance!

Servus dear ones, Since I have had my Stinger for 2 days, I annoy you every day with new topics. Today again a new one, because unfortunately I find no spare part online (or none that I am willing to pay at the prices). I have the version with the lockable flap for the cup holders, since I will never close it anyway, I would prefer the open version optically. If someone has an idea where I can get this center console (without paying 300+€) od he even better: Is there someone here in the forum who might have the open option and would rather have the closed one with whom you can exchange? Best greeting and you have a nice evening

Hi Community, since I had my Stinger (3.3 BJ 21) in January for a 2-year inspection (without oil change, i.e. on the engine was actually not done), I notice a strong stutter with large thrusters when accelerating from about half to 3/4 gas. With gentle driving the motor run is actually inconspicuous and also the consumption is in the normal range. Error codes are unfortunately not set, so that I am a bit helpless, which is the reason. I was therefore already with KIA, but their next appointment to look at the problem is unfortunately only at the end of March. The master suspects the usual suspects such as candles, ignition coils or injectors. Since I would not like to drive around for another month with (probably) ignition problems, I started looking for the cause myself. I looked with the iOS Car scanner in the signals for striking values, and at the same time the air flow rate (“MAF air flow”, see screenshots The first screenshot is at a constant 130km/h, and the second one is in idle mode. Even under a larger load, you can’t see any changes in the signal. I don’t know how it is handled with Hyundai/Kia, but at least with some German manufacturers I know it so that there are bullshit signals on the CAN bus, which show completely wrong values even without malfunctions. Therefore, my question, one of you has already taken a look at this signal by chance. ? My hope would be that it would show plausible values in other Stingern. That would clearly limit my problem.

I just try it here in the forum…. Search for this way in the region Niederrhein, Kleve, Goch, Kalkar, Rees and surroundings…. like-minded Stinger drivers to exchange ideas and, or sometimes together to make a small exit, drink coffee and fantasies. However, I myself can not contribute much to the topic, have my Stinger only since mid January, 3,3 V6 in ceramic silver, Pano and flap system. Would I be happy if it were here in the vicinity of Kleve e in a couple of Stinger drivers who have the same car hobby. Should everything be casual and not quite so far for you, weather is getting better, so please get in touch, thank you. If you are interested please with a PN supplement, of course also with your partners, (almost forgotten)……….. :>) Greeting Regina & Helmut

Hello, I would like to know if someone is driving this setup:https://www.jb4-shop.de/bms-450ps-packet-for-kia-stinger.html With the JB4 kit 450 W!!HP should be in there, which I doubt for the first time. Here should be far over 500 HP engine power in there… Does someone have experience with JB4 and the kit and could report? Thank you and a healthy 2025!!!

Hello community. I’ve been driving a 3.3 GT year 2018 – so still without OPF. It’s a Bastuck exhaust system without flap installed. The system roars extremely at load between about 1,500 and 2,500 revolutions. When driving longer in this area (e.g. uphill drive on the highway at 130 km/h speed limit) you get really headaches. I really think about whether I have to build an original system under it again. Does someone have the same problem or can you here Abhi I’m grateful for every tip.
