I want to thank everyone. Came up with a fresh idea: a GT line in black. Have just made an order

Thank you!

Greetings everyone; I'm hoping to purchase a Kia EV3, but I can't make up my mind between buying it new or getting an authorised used one from a dealership. Since this will be my first electric vehicle, I'm a little anxious about selling my Skoda Kamiq and making the transition. Currently, Kia is providing a reasonable offer of a £3,000 down contribution and a loan rate of 3.9%. But I'm also seeing certified pre-owned vehicles with really low mileage (some with less than 1,000 miles and less than a year old), so I'm starting to wonder if it may be the better choice. I am particularly worried about the ICCU problem and the possibility of getting a "lemon." After reading about charging failures and several ICCU replacements, I can't help but wonder: how probable is it that I would purchase an authorised used vehicle whose previous owner sold it because of persistent issues? When I do depart, I will: In particular, what am I supposed to be on the lookout for? Could you tell me how to find out if the ICCU has been changed or if the vehicle has experienced maintenance issues frequently? Are the dealers able to provide you the whole history of the car's repairs and warranty? As a whole, I'd be very grateful for any recommendations you have for someone making the switch from internal combustion engine to electric vehicle (and deciding between new and almost new). Thank you ahead of time!

Unless I have overlooked something, your initial post does not indicate any issues with the CTEK, thus I would advise against hastily replacing it. Nonetheless, the CS ONE is an excellent piece of equipment. The CS FREE can be utilised for in situ charging, similar to the MXS 5.0 and the ONE, but it also possesses the capability to jump-start vehicles without requiring access to a 240v power connection, so offering an additional practical function. It is important to note that the CS FREE employs a somewhat big plug, which may prevent the cover of a waterproof outdoor socket from fitting and sealing properly when connected. It is worth considering.

It is an Audi A5.

I observed that the vehicle is equipped with heated seats; however, I am uncertain whether it has a complete cold weather package or if those features were installed subsequently. The vendor was unaware, and the manual enumerates many options based on trim level. I need clarification since I may contemplate supplementary features or upkeep pertaining to the system. I have conducted web research, but the information is ambiguous. If anyone can identify the components included in the factory-installed cold weather package, it would be appreciated.

Individuals traverse the whole of the nation to reach Avantgarde Automotive, however you are fortunate to be only 40 minutes away. You will be astonished by the vehicles in their workshop and those parked outside. Contact them to elucidate the problem and enquire if they can assist. They are very busy and may lack interest in resolving problems caused by other mechanics, therefore it is advisable to verify beforehand.

Your vehicle lacks front lowering links; only the rear utilises links. The front suspension is lowered using shorter springs, with H&R being the preferred brand.

Remove the plastic cover on the EGR and manually manipulate it; it should effortlessly open completely and return to a fully closed position due to the spring mechanism.

Do not disconnect the electronic EGR pipes, since this will result in coolant loss.

If the EGR valve is vacuum-operated, attempt to disconnect the vacuum pipe and observe any changes.

I had never considered it, to be honest. I have only exchanged the sensors with new wheels and reinstalled them on the same corner. As you said, it will be necessary to delete and reinstall each component separately. Is it advisable to record the varying pressures on each tire and take a little drive? Determine if the system recalibrates on both sides. Indifference

Each time I have exchanged wheels using the same sensors, they have linked seamlessly. Uncertain. Edit: Ah, I get now; you are referring about having switched sides?

It seems to be an ISTA task; there are tools available for coding, but only factory-coded elements that were not addressed during the construction phase may be programmed thereafter.

Unless I am mistaken, the M4 F83 seatbelt is integrated into the seats, but the F36 seatbelt is mounted on the chassis. What measures will you do to resolve the issue?
