  4. This pertains to an SLK, however the same ideas are applicable.
  5. This is a well recognized issue with these vehicles. There are two coils, each activating two cylinders/plugs. They are situated behind the plate above the cylinder head cam cover. It is secured by three or four Allen/Torx-headed bolts. It is necessary to detach the cross engine intake pipe. Upon removal of the plate, the plug leads and coils will be clearly visible. Any of the components may be defective, including the low voltage wire from the engine ECU, which often fails due to elevated temperatures from the engine. Numerous postings and images about the subject are available here; it is advantageous to peruse them.
  6. Gasoline or diesel fuel. What is occurring with the engine?
  7. Indeed, based on my experience, they will replace the oil and filter, as well as inspect for hidden nails or screws in the tires. There, you may have discovered a reputable Kia dealership. Best of luck
  8. Perhaps. Provide the service history.

    Alert

    My device provides a notification when it is ready. I own a garage door of the slam kind, and if I shut it with excessive force, it activates the alarm. That then provokes the dog, which subsequently provokes every other dog. When I am able to recall, I proceed to shut the door and then secure the automobile. Apologies if you happen to be one of my neighbours.
  12. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, that's quite unfortunate. Undoubtedly, the value of your resale and trade-in is more than that. Hopefully, someone with more expertise on the recall can provide you with assistance.
  13. AsdaTyres and Kwikfit provide a service where they will show you all the available brands depending on your vehicle registration number. They will then come to your location and install the tyres either for free or for a little fee. (I have not visited a tyre retailer in many years) Select one of the aforementioned brands and you will make a reliable choice. (I have a preference for Michelin or Goodyear)
  14. - Replace all tyres with high-quality tyres, especially with a wet grip rating of 'A'. https://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s473p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_18_inch_R18_inch_-_255_40_18_255_40R18 Although that may not be the news you were hoping for, you are still welcome here.
  15. "Although they may be of low quality, they were inexpensive." The tyres you purchased are often referred to as "Ditchfinders."
