Greetings Consider exploring Kia Parts Direct (Fish Brothers Swindon), as their website does not enumerate all accessible items. They have procured 'unobtainium' components for me several times. Is it advisable to call 01793 401104? (I hope that number remains accurate, since I have not utilised it for a few years.) If unsuccessful, several reasonably conditioned second-hand units are available, which might be promptly painted and rust-proofed prior to installation.

Thank you; I will review them later. I contacted Kia and provided my part number, 551001W110, but they informed me that it will take six months to obtain it.

Are you certain that is the accurate part number? Partsouq displays multiple options, and given the year division in 2012, is it possible that an older item was installed in that vehicle?

Indeed, you are correct; the part number is 55100-1W100; however, regrettably, it is unavailable for purchase from any vendors. Thank you for your assistance.

Greetings, I am receiving 551001W000; all photographs on eBay corresponding to that part number differ from those on Autodoc. Am I examining the incorrect figures? I am beginning to question my judgement despite the seller's confirmation of the right fitment.

55100-1W100, 55100-4L100Is this the part number sourced from Autodoc?

Thank you, I have verified that it matches the part number of the one I ordered. The seller claims it is intended for drums and callipers; nevertheless, it is unfeasible without the lugs or their equivalent, which I have indicated in the figure below.

Yes, everything fits, except the axle lacks the lugs for the calliper.

I concur with the previous poster's statement; however, ensure that you have the correct part number for the subframe by referencing your VIN.

Hello, I do not possess a Rio. I do not possess a Rio and do not have access to the rear suspension diagram; however, the rear subframe appears to have a straightforward design, and I would surmise that it can accommodate both drum and disc brakes. I assume you are relocating components from your previous subframe, such as the shocks, springs, and hub carrier, among others? The calliper bracket is typically affixed to the hub carrier.

Greetings everyone, I possess a 2012 Kia Rio MK3, and the rear subframe/axle has failed its MOT. I acquired a fresh new one from eBay, with the vendor assuring me it was the proper part. It was only after installation that I discovered it was intended for drum brakes, however my vehicle is equipped with disc brakes. No attachment points for the callipers I have searched extensively on eBay and cannot locate a rear axle that includes fittings for callipers. Could anyone suggest a location for purchasing one? Am I examining the incorrect section on eBay? Thank you.

I had a mechanic friend examine it, and the issue pertains to the brakes. The brake pad has dislodged from the calliper and, while reversing, becomes lodged between the calliper and the calliper mount. Thank you for the response, however.

I had an acquaintance who experienced exactly identical problem. Ascertain whether the rear brakes are impeding movement by elevating the rear and attempting to rotate the wheels manually. If a wheel does not rotate freely or exhibits excessive tightness, the issue lies with the calliper, which requires either rebuilding or replacement. The phenomenon of its visibility solely in reverse occurs because reverse gear imposes greater strain on the powertrain, hence rendering the seized brake far more apparent. If the wheels rotate smoothly, it is likely that the gearbox and the reverse gear synchroniser or teeth are damaged, which is a regular issue with certain transmissions. Additionally, verify that the clutch is completely disengaging by attempting to shift into reverse without grinding while the vehicle is operational. Commence with the brakes, as they are more economical and simpler to inspect than disassembling the gearbox.

There are excessively several factors, and since you are not present to physically assess and eliminate them, the recommendation is to advise individuals to seek an independent shop if they do not wish to utilise the dealer. Initial fundamental inquiry: Mileage on the odometer? What was the final transmission service ...miles? What was the mileage of the most recent brake service, and what exactly did it entail? Has the car lately been involved in any collision that resulted in undercarriage impact? If so, please specify the details. Illustration of a vehicle traversing a concrete tyre barrier in a parking lot. You are requesting advice without having inspected various components of the Mazda. The fundamental enquiries pertain to the timing of the most recent brake service and the specifics of that service. What is the mileage on the odometer? What was the most recent servicing performed on the clutch and/or gearbox? Was the ECU examined to confirm the absence of error codes? Were the mounts thoroughly inspected and found to be intact and not worn out? Were the remaining drivetrain components examined for wear or damage? Was the gear lever inspected for adequate shifting functionality without any complications? This is accomplished by detaching it from the gearbox. Are all the shift bushings in proper condition? Was the level of the gearbox fluid assessed? I apologise, but I am unable to assist you as you are seeking speculative advice, and you are not in a position to verify these straightforward enquiries through basic service experience checks.

I have consulted the Mazda dealer, who concurred that the issue likely pertains to the gearbox. However, as my brother owns the vehicle and is reluctant to visit a dealer due to the high costs, I am posting this inquiry to ascertain if anyone has experienced a similar problem or has insights regarding the matter. I suspect that the bearings within the gearbox may be damaged.

You are discussing two entirely distinct aspects of the Mazda. My foremost proposal, given your inability to physically inspect the Mazda, is to suggest that they take it to a repair facility. Immediately address any suspected brake issues.

My brother operates a 2009 Mazda 3 hatchback with a manual gearbox. He informed me today that his car cannot reverse, as if something is obstructing it or as though the parking brake is perpetually engaged, however this issue does not occur when he drives forward. I suspect it pertains to the transmission, although he contends it relates to the brakes. Does anyone possess insights regarding its nature?

The original poster was present for around five minutes and has not been seen since. Ideally on a VW platform where he can receive additional assistance.

I likely read it too hastily and misinterpreted it as "egg basket".

Valve stem oil seals, as a general principle.However, verify the level of the brake fluid reservoir. Conduct a cylinder pressure test; it will determine whether the issue lies with the rings. However, given your low mileage, it is unlikely.

If the egg gasket has failed, it is no little matter!

Preliminary proofreading before to posting on a VW forum would be beneficial. Although we all commit typographical errors, this particular post is challenging to decipher. I hope the "egg gasket" does not require a substantial expenditure. 😒👍
