Kia's exceptional rescue service contract with The RAC
Strongspoi replied to Cincoon's topic in General
"Unparalleled" is effectively ambiguous for marketing purposes. The listener interprets it as unparalleled excellence, yet it is not the message conveyed by the marketing individual. (Similar to headache medication advertisements that claim no other tablet works more rapidly, but disclosing that no unbranded pill operates at a slower pace.) -
Sadly like many things, the service you get depends on the individual attending. Consider the multitude of distinct automobiles available. Anticipating that a recovery specialist possesses comprehensive knowledge of every individual is quite excessive.

After encountering multiple instances of rapid chargers failing to connect and supply power to our Niro 4+, we faced the humiliation of requiring assistance from the RAC to be transported to a charging station that would connect (Type 2, not CCS). Despite Kia's purported service agreement with the RAC, which claims to provide an exceptional rescue service for electric vehicles stranded due to power depletion, including on-board charging capabilities for minor top-ups to reach the nearest charging station, our experience did not meet these expectations. The RAC patrolman from a franchised garage possessed less knowledge of electric vehicles than we did, which is minimal, and lacked the expertise to properly load our car into a low loader, thus abandoning us upon arrival at a Type 2 charging station. Anything but "a Kia/RAC unparalleled rescue service." Are there any other experiences, preferably favourable, that could reinforce my confidence in this guarantee, or any statements from Kia that could sustain my trust in the recent acquisition of our Kia 4+ EV?

It possesses the RS500 wheels, does it not? I wish I still have a photograph of mine.

Concur. The E30 M3 S14 engine emitted a cacophony reminiscent of loose tools under high rpm, which were necessary to provide any kind of performance; I would unequivocally favour a straight-six engine, but the E30 M3 is aesthetically pleasing.

Similar to the vintage Sierra Sapphire Cosworths, those BMWs appear somewhat antiquated now. Neither option is appealing to me, regardless of the cost.

Weren't vintage automobiles reminiscent of goldfish bowls? The substantial dimensions of the windows, both front and rear screens. Nearly all of them (see images of those who did not) What did they weigh?

I would not have spent £4,500 for the white one, nor almost £6,000 for the red one. Additionally, I possessed another red one in Zinnober red, a convertible in dazzling red, and a black one as well.
-
While this is true, I would not invest £120,000 to return there.

Kia Parts Direct UK offers authentic products, but I am uncertain how their prices compare to those of a dealership.

It is raining heavily. However, it appears that I am unlikely to obtain the solution without venturing outside; I have seen online that a Bosch 1987435160 filter is compatible with both vehicles, as well as most modern Kia and Hyundai models. I have ordered a pair for £28.28 total on eBay, inclusive of delivery, should anyone be interested. Gratitude to everybody who responded.
-
It may depend on the location of your car's production. Disconnect the current and examine it.
-
Is there anyone who knows the manufacturer of the original filters?
-
Bosch, MANN, Hengst, Knecht, Mahle, Purflux, and Fram are all original equipment suppliers to manufacturers.
-
I purchased mine from Amazon. Bosch Simply conduct a Google search for your desired information. Introduces the alternatives.

Both vehicles are approaching three years of age, hence I believe it is time to repair the pollen and cabin filters in our Sportage and EV6. I am not inclined to pay Kia dealership pricing; thus, could anyone suggest a provider of authentic OEM parts, as opposed to those that merely assert compliance with OEM standards? At one time, a Kia dealership offered parts on eBay at significantly lower prices than the Kia recommended retail price, from which I purchased items for our prior Kia. However, I can no longer locate them!

DAB consistently performs this function in my vicinity; it is antenna-based, always utilising FM without issues.

You have made a valid point. I listen to Hearts 80's. I will switch to another station to determine whether this is not merely an isolated incident. I lack any of the other setups mentioned. I reached out to RGA Services in Nottingham, an Independent BMW Specialist, who informed me that they utilise authentic BMW Dealer software, granting them access to the latest software packages from BMW. The cost for this service is £150. An update will be provided for the entire vehicle. They are exceedingly helpful and address any enquiries. The official BMW dealer software requires time to download data files from the BMW server prior to installation, which may take anywhere from three hours to a full day, depending on internet speed and data size. They are occupied but will provide me with a reservation in November.

I apologise if this seems trivial, but may it be that the radio signal for your current station has diminished? This frequently occurs with DAB radio stations. Is it consistently the same station? Does this occur while listening to any pre-recorded music, whether via CD, internal storage, or Spotify? If not, the aforementioned issue may be the cause. I have been awaiting the auto installation update for over 12 months, and it feels interminable.
