According to OmahaKnot, the last two digits vary due to differing manufacture dates.

The engine code is N47D20C.

Should you go. Inquire about their confidence on the absence of ICCU difficulties, considering that every other Kia using the E-GMP platform has had such problems.

A seat occupancy sensor located under the seat will activate the airbag indicator if it malfunctions. It is possible that reclining the seat damaged the sensor, socket, wiring, or another component.This equipment is about 30 years old. Which codes are shown by the computer? To my knowledge, the airbag indicator may alone be deactivated by erasing the computer's memory. This is an opportune moment to get PASoft, which can do that and also interpret codes.

Other than removing rocker cover off to take a look or having bmw to measure stretch with the proper equipment there isn’t anything

The prevalence of N47 engines indicates a relatively low failure rate; the essential factor for longevity is consistent oil changes. Based on the many instances I have conducted over the years, 100k is my threshold for them. As a later N47T model, yours has received modifications that do not eliminate failure but rather extend longevity. It is unfeasible to quantify the mileage lifespan, since I have seen original chains last up to 200,000 miles, while others have failed or shown noise below 100,000 miles; so, I assert that my threshold would be 100,000 miles.

I acknowledge that your vehicle is an AWD model; yet, I am astonished that the rear brake pads have deteriorated more rapidly than the front ones. If you want to retain the automobile for many more years, you could consider examining the KIA service plans. Their prices are cheaper than those of most franchised dealer stores, and reduced fixed-price MOT testing might be included. In the event of any issues with the brakes or the AWD system, the individual conducting the MOT test will typically alert you. Based on my experience, they often highlight pad and tyre wear well before reaching the minimum recommended thresholds, anticipating that customers will respond with, “Oh, please repair them while the car is in the workshop!” or they may propose scheduling a follow-up appointment for the following week. Dealerships often change brakes and tires because to the substantial profit margins associated with their pricing. I am uncertain whether you plan to retain the automobile, nor do I possess knowledge about its whole KIA service history. However, a 2021 model should remain under warranty until 2028, provided it has been maintained according to KIA's requirements. As a vehicle ages, it has significant monetary value should any substantial issues arise.

The emphasis is not primarily on velocity. The focus is on maximising the engine's capability by ensuring all components operate efficiently and elevating fuel and exhaust pressures to maintain system cleanliness. Driving on a freeway is not really fulfilling. B roads are optimal for accelerating out of curves and braking sharply upon entry, which benefits both the engine and the brakes, as Stephen noted before. Automobiles are engineered for operation. In my experience, modest usage generates far more issues than misuse. I consistently drove with efficiency, expecting no less than 50 mpg from a diesel Golf or Focus; yet, subjecting them to a vigorous drive weekly did not significantly impact the overall average from a full tank.

Turbo timers are unnecessary for our little European turbochargers. Older Japanese automobiles were equipped with large, sluggish ball bearing turbochargers. No maintenance is performed on turbos whatsoever. They get advantages from the fresh oil, since they operate on a minimal layer of pressured oil instead of direct metal-to-metal bearings. Consequently, it is advisable to allow the engine to return to idle before shutting it off. However, who is disengaging while maintaining pressure on the accelerator? We need information on the cause of your wastegate's failure to determine appropriate preventive maintenance measures. It is likely that you are not exerting sufficient force on the vehicle to ensure the wastegate opens and closes consistently.

I would expect the technician to have detached the actuator to directly test the wastegate prior to estimating £800 for a new turbo. However, if that is not the case, it is certainly advisable to verify that. The wastegate is likely corroded and immobile, to be frank. The design is subpar. The petrol wastegates exhibit the contrary problem; they are loose and rattling. It is perplexing how they are all constructed so poorly, since Ford does not participate in the turbo design.

The 1.5 TDCI engine of the Fiesta is equipped with a wastegate. The more powerful variant in the Focus is VNT.

Individuals seem to fixate on miles. Typically, it is ageing that causes deterioration. A ten-year lifespan for a wastegate failure is very plausible. The warranty coverage was limited to the first three years. Except if you have purchased an extended or aftermarket warranty. Considering the car's age of 10 years, I would go for a quality used replacement priced between £100 and £200 rather than investing £800 on a completely new vehicle. It is advisable to release the wastegate, however ideally, the turbo should be removed to access it effectively. If the wastegate is compromised, it is not available for individual sale to the public, necessitating the replacement of the whole turbo system.

There is nothing else there that might produce that sound while being operational.

I suspect the dual-mass flywheel has failed, but I will await more responses.
