  1. I own a 2016 2.0 CRDI manufactured in Korea and have now traveled 3400 kilometers. No discernible brake dust is present, and the brakes function well. No noise as delineated in your article. The Australian Kia models may vary from those manufactured in Slovakia.
  2. @Lemmand They only accept bank transfer now. They told me they had issues in the past with credit card chargebacks, so that’s why. But again, it’s to a business account held separate from their operational funds, so it’s as safe as it gets.
  3. Morning all, Earlier this year, I had a 2020 Mazda CX-30 delivered to my Birmingham location by Kismis Transport. The weather caused a slight holdup of a day or two in the haulage, but they called ahead to clarify. Everything was in order when the car arrived, including the papers. To tell you the truth, I was totally delighted.
  4. However, I discovered that they are not, since at that price point, they lack shockproof capabilities; the driver's door would be the first to deteriorate for obvious reasons.
  5. Indeed, both features may be operated without physical interaction with the screen. A button for Lane Keep Assist is located on the left side of the steering wheel. High Beam Assist may be activated or deactivated by drawing or pushing the headlight lever towards or away from oneself, if I recall correctly.
  6. The problem often indicates a blocked fuel filter; the only way to get a code from the vehicle is if the spanner icon appears on the display. If the icon intermittently appears while cycling the ignition, it is unlikely that any codes are saved. If it has not been altered recently, it may be the reason. As Mondy said, Forscan is absolutely the optimal choice. Significantly reduces expenses related to time and diagnostic fees to some degree.
  7. I am receiving a blank page from that URL.
  8. An advantageous website: http://webmanual.kia.com/STD_GEN5W/AVNT/EU/English/activatingradio.html
  9. You searched thoroughly... with the exception of the manual! 🙂
  10. While pressure leaking may suffice, my experience indicates that until the system undergoes diagnostics after being depleted, the brake pedal performance remains suboptimal.
  11. It follows a systematic procedure for purging the ABS system and valves. Essentially instructs you to apply pressure to the bleeder and then sequentially loosen one bleed nipple at a time while the ABS operates.
  12. If the system is totally emptied, a pressure bleeder must be used in conjunction with the ABS bleeding method in diagnostics.
  13. Enquire about the advantages that a software upgrade will bring to your £100.
  14. Indeed, it is an advantageous price! Enquire with MB about their pricing and they will provide confirmation.
  15. Indeed, I speculated that the issue may be related to emissions in the more recent A4 model as well. It also has the feature of automatic start-stop.
  16. Indeed, I ought to consult an expert. The dealer believes that the issue is within the typical range and not a cause for concern. I would want to ascertain if others had a similar experience or whether their vehicles remain in second gear during the whole journey. Particularly TDIs.
  17. Greetings, everyone. I own a 2019 A5 sportback 40 TDI. The vehicle is now at the dealership, where they have offered a 2022 A4 40 TFSI as a complimentary replacement car. After using it for a week, I discovered that it only moves down from 2nd gear to 1st gear when coming to a full stop. My auto engages in downshifting much in advance of that. When moving at around 1 km per hour or slower, the vehicle shifts into first gear. I operated the A4 vehicle at a very slow pace, and it only shifts to first gear when it comes to a full halt. Is there a malfunction in my A5 or do varied gear ratios determine whether some automobiles downshift before coming to a stop? My vehicle has accumulated a mileage of 25,000 kilometres, whereas the A4 has reached 32,000 km.
  18. Utilise diagnostic tools to monitor the level of particulate matter accumulation in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Once the DPF approaches its maximum capacity, go on an extended journey.
  19. Visit Veloce the Vault in San Diego. It is a facility designed for storing and housing high-performance luxury cars, as well as serving as a social gathering place. Members participate in rallies, cars and coffee events, and other activities. They may choose from several levels of membership. Additionally, there are also Fast Lane Drive members present who partake in very thrilling drives. This location is an excellent spot for socialising and spending time, particularly for those who have a strong interest in cars. I store my R8 in that location, which is really an invigorating environment. It is frequented by a variety of new exotics, classics, and super vehicles on a daily basis.
  20. I find it astonishing that the presence of your wife inside the vehicle, while it was locked, did not trigger the internal motion sensor alert that is activated when the car is secured outside. It is presumed that your automobile is equipped with an internal sensor, since you have not specified the make and model of your car.
  21. I concur, but, I have developed a tendency towards indolence and have become used to the vehicle effortlessly unlocking as soon as I approach it, without the need to rummage through my luggage to get the key or remove it from a Faraday pouch. I have only recollected misplacing my luggage in the vehicle on one occasion before, therefore making it an exceedingly rare occurrence. The incident occurred due to the fact that the other half (OH) placed my luggage in the footwell while being a passenger, and I deviated from my customary procedure of immediately retrieving it from the passenger seat. I appreciate ArthurCollins2 for sharing his story of inadvertently leaving the keys inside the baggage. The OH engages in such behaviour, often occurring subsequent to the removal of the bags from the vehicle and our departure towards the airport.
  22. I am relieved that I am not the only foolish or incompetent person! I believe we ultimately succeeded in securing it. It was not until later that I realised the true nature of the situation when I searched for my suitcase. During the first days, I saw a few potential "deficiencies" in the vehicle's performance, but each time the car emitted a sound or exhibited a behaviour, there was always a valid explanation.
  23. Based on my own observation, the vehicle would not engage the locking mechanism if there was an additional key present inside its interior. During the first days of automobile ownership, it failed to lock when both of us exited. Eventually, I came to the realisation that my luggage, along with my key, was still inside.
  24. Congratulations on acquiring the new motor with your Fidelity extended warranty coverage!
