My heart goes out to you since the situation you've described is so terrible. Without repeating what you've already said, I can only remark that your research into the car's past has left me curious about the care and driving habits of its prior owner(s). In the end, a KIA dealership inspection is required before a decision on the overall cost of engine rebuilding (or replacing the engine entirely) can be reached. It will be costly anyway, but KIA could consider providing financial aid, though they are under no obligation to do so. The risk of going to unofficial, less expensive garages rather than KIA dealerships has been brought up before forum members previously. I'm going to assume that KIA does not recognise the validity of service book stamps as proof that maintenance has been carried out according to their standards, given what you have said. If it turns out that the automobile has been serviced at a KIA dealer, then KIA UK needs to step in and take responsibility, working with their designated dealer, to resolve the issue. However, between maintenance, it is still the responsibility of the owner or driver to monitor the oil and fluid levels. As many of you who are frequent readers of this site are probably aware, there are some owners who, in between servicing, never even check beneath the hood, save to fill up the windscreen washer fluid tank. I hope everything works out well for you in the end.

After reading your comment, I feel that you should clarify exactly what Kia is selling. Apparently, Kia said, "This will be covered by the warranty IF it is found to be a manufacturing fault." Your suggestion that it should state "if it is found to be a rebuild fault" is incorrect. It's a matter of semantics and subtlety, but if Kia would only pay for faulty components made by the manufacturer, they will probably try to avoid paying for rebuild errors and will instead pass the expense on to their franchisee. No way a franchisee would be able to pay for a new engine without fighting.

Initially, I considered a shorted wire; but, upon inspection, the codes were identical save for the final digit, sequentially ranging from 1 to 3 and so on.

I sincerely apologise if my post caused offence. Based on my experiences over the years, it appears that very few individuals are willing to contribute or assist others. When such assistance does occur, it is undoubtedly invaluable, yet it seems challenging to connect with someone who possesses the necessary knowledge.

There must be someone available who can assist. Kindly or Is this forum as inactive as it appears?

My 2007 W639 Vito 111 CDI has begun experiencing fuel-related troubles. Exiting the conversation. The background is as follows: after performing repairs on an injector blow-by and the hold-down bolt threads, the car began to leak gasoline from its leak-off system. I suspected that I had been excessively forceful with the press-down clips on the plastic pipe fittings attached to the spigot pipes emerging from the side of the injector.I conducted a leak-off test and discovered that three of the injectors were defective, exhibiting excessive fuel leakage. Consequently, I acquired a whole set of replacement injectors, Honda copper washers, and new stretch hold-down bolts, and replaced them together with a brand new leak-off pipe system. after a run test drive i noticed it was leaking yet again but this time knowing full well the leak off was just a dribble and the leaking wouldnt start until at lease five mins of running ,i then purchased another pipe set believing it must of been a dud set i had previously got and fitted another new set ,another test run and another leak ensued so this time i thought it must be having trouble to leak back into the in-tank pumped supply line where it is plumbed into via an alloy y adapter ,having looked at it i considered it could either be a clogged filter (where the in tank pump brings the low pressure supply into) or maybe a locked up non return check valve which is in the new replaced leak off pipe so i checked the valve using air line and a peice of stiff wire all good replaced filter and test drive ,still leaking fuel out of the weakest point of the rubber leak off sections between the injectors , this tells me the pressure of the system where it is supposed to bleed into is far too high ? I assume that the return line to the tank may be obstructed. Could it be a defective pressure regulator valve in the common rail? Are there any technicians available to assist me in resolving this issue? I am perplexed; the vehicle starts and operates flawlessly. Could it be experiencing excessive pressure owing to a malfunctioning pressure control system? How does it control the pressure returning to the tank following its effective transit through the common rail? I am unable to locate anybody with the requisite experience and traditional diagnostic skills to identify this type of defect from the past.

Verify using your vehicle's VIN. Does the vendor not supply the VIN, or are there no local websites that offer the VIN along with the registration plate?

It is quite evident, indeed. Otherwise, there would be numerous shunts daily, as the majority of relatively new vehicles are equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

Presumably, you are referring to the scenario in which the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) detects a deceleration ahead and engages the brakes; otherwise, a rear-end collision with trailing vehicles would occur.

The dome-shaped plastic should simply detach. Ensure it is unobstructed and that the little arm behind the cover is not ajar.

A thorough cleaning may also be beneficial.

Allow your wife to operate the vehicle and get a superior option for yourself.

Did you acquire the vehicle with diminished power, or did you have the DPF and EGR systems reprogrammed, resulting in satisfactory performance thereafter?
