Is this a UK vehicle, because Kia specifies that all Gen 5 Sportages are equipped with 12.3-inch navigation screens?

Oil change intervals for the BMW 520D

The accurate computation should be based on miles rather than time. because. If you earn 20,000 annually, you should reduce the OCI by fifty percent biannually. Time is particularly significant while travelling downtown, purchasing groceries, or during a brief commute, among other factors.In such instance, you should likewise adhere to the same OCI directive. -

I acquired the kit on eBay from Mercedes Edinburgh / Mercedes authentic parts. Send them your registration, and they will provide a link to the necessary elements. I acquired the eBay item with the number 155464543393. I paid £200; it is now advertised at £149. -
W205 December 2014 Gearbox Maintenance
jimmy47785 replied to jimmy47785's topic in General Discussions
Indeed, I have seen several vids. A buddy is doing the job in the garage, and I am only ensuring that I get the correct quantity of oil. It is not an action he typically does, yet it is not his first occurrence. Thank you -
Greetings, December 2014 Estate C220d 7G, 109,000 km, first gearbox service. I am uncertain if I need 6 or 10 litres of oil. Conflicting information on the torque converter suggests that the issue pertains to vehicles manufactured before to 2010. How can I determine whether my vehicle is equipped with a torque converter? How can I ascertain whether it is 7G+? Should the plastic overflow be replaced or not? Thank you for any assistance!

Thank you, this is what I sought, although evidently not from the UK.

That is logical, thank you. Can I infer that all exterior colours of the GT-Line, regardless of the model, include identical light interiors? Undoubtedly, my dealer is unaware of the solution.

I am inclined to acquire an EV3 next week: a GT-Line S in Shale Grey. Nonetheless, I am perplexed about the hue of the inside. I have examined the Kia website, several reviews, and YouTube videos, and I am certain that I have seen both dark and light interiors. Yesterday, I occupied a GT-Line (non-S) in Pistachio with a light inside; I like a darker interior. Do dark hues, such as grey and black, correspond with dark interiors, or am I mistaken in believing they are uniform?

RWD malfunction

Acquired a 2022 Tucson Hybrid one year before. The car has 7,800 km (about 4,700 miles). Received a "Stop Vehicle - Check Brakes" warning on the dashboard, along with all other potential caution lights illuminated. The wheels became entirely immobilised and were unable to rotate. Towed to the dealership. The dealer informs me that there is rat damage to the wire that traverses a firewall to a control module. The primary structure requires replacement. Approximately $10,000 CAD for an insurance claim for repairs. I conducted more research and discovered that automobiles produced in 2017 by Hyundai, Kia, Honda, and Toyota have begun using a soy/rice-based wire coating instead of plastic to enhance environmental sustainability and minimise expenses. The soy/rice wire coating is very appealing to mice, squirrels, and rats. Approximately six class action lawsuits have been filed but are being rejected since the manufacturer contends that there is no "scientific" data indicating that the soy/rice-based wire coating attracts rats. I have endured six weeks of distress in dealing with this issue with the Hyundai store, and I still do not own my car. Is anybody else seeing problems with rats gnawing through wiring in almost new Hyundai vehicles?

Any automotive supplier will provide a box of varied C-clips, often including 10 different sizes, with 10 units of each size, priced at £5 or maybe £4.50. -
Thank you for your prompt response, sir. I will proceed to do it tomorrow, certain that I will not have cramping from keeping my fingers crossed for an extended period.

Greetings to everyone, I have had my 2022 Sportage HEV for one month, and after a recent navigational failure that necessitated the use of my backup Garmin, I have concluded that my mapping requires an update. On my prior Sporty (MY2017), the process included downloading the update on an SD card, inserting it into the dashboard, then executing the installation. I recognised that this is a distinct process, so I researched it and downloaded the Kia update installer, subsequently obtaining the current map update using the installer onto a memory stick. Everything is satisfactory so far. However, I am now uncertain about the appropriate course of action. I understand that it must be connected to the central USB port and updated using the on-screen options; nevertheless... The instructions indicate that the installation process, which may take up to 30 minutes, requires the engine to be running to prevent battery depletion. Additionally, they caution that stopping and restarting the engine during installation may lead to various issues with the data due to voltage spikes and related factors. As the vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the engine does not consistently activate upon pressing the start button until the battery requires recharging. Once charged, it will cease operation again, resulting in several start-stop cycles throughout the installation process. I am reluctant to proceed with the installation, since the potential start/stop of the engine may compromise its functionality, resulting in the full loss of the navigation system. Could someone who has performed such an upgrade confirm its safety before I go incorrectly?

The adaptive main beam has ceased functioning.

I had similar issue with my E-Class while the auxiliary battery was failing. The hold function on the footbrake has ceased to operate, and the green indicator for the stop-start system is likewise nonfunctional. I am uncertain if your A class is equipped with an auxiliary battery. Utilise a QR application on your mobile device to scan the QR sticker located on post B. It will display the position of batteries. -
The headlight levelling mechanism may need a specialised diagnostic instrument or knowledge available at a Vauxhall dealership. Although a local garage may diagnose and perhaps resolve the problem, visiting a Vauxhall dealer guarantees access to the appropriate tools and expertise tailored to your unique model. If you possess the requisite skills for DIY repairs and have access to appropriate materials, you may attempt to identify the issue alone; nevertheless, it may be more effective to engage specialists for assistance.

If you believe Kia is being It is only a frugal and parsimonious setup from Kia. It is undoubtedly inexpensive in comparison to several other brands. Who impose much higher charges. What is the cost of a Ford Live traffic subscription in the UK? Following the two-year free trial, the continuation of the Live Traffic Service to augment your Navigation system will incur a fee of £60, inclusive of VAT, for an additional two years. This pertains only to live service, which is provided free for a duration of seven years. Avoid considering the expenses associated with Mercedes or BMW.

I can just reiterate the aforementioned. This is the same fee that Kia advised dealers to impose for an update before to the introduction of the 2021 self-updating feature. Thus, £80 annually prior to 2021, indicating it is less expensive today than it was then. Contrast prices between the UK and the US. $19.99 per month or $199 annually.

I examined the Ross-Tech device. It is in the upper echelon of the price spectrum, akin to Rolls Royce. I cannot rationalise that expense. The A5 remains under a two-year extended warranty; I anticipate that most issues will be addressed. However, it will not, of course, include my illumination. I will investigate which bulbs would enhance my visibility on the road, then consult with my garage technicians. Numerous bulbs, as to selecting a shampoo. Thank you, everyone.

Hello. I concur; I examined them last night. There are several options, and I am contemplating which one merits acquisition. Do you have any recommendations? Additionally, it is important to recognise that there is no conclusion to this endeavour. Thank you.
