  1. We plan to retain our KIA for approximately 20 years. Contemporary electric vehicles are capable of lasting a minimum of 200,000 kilometres. Our yearly depreciation will exceed £1,000. We retained our previous VW Passat diesel estate for 26 years, with the final battery enduring for 8 years. Kia dealerships may impose a fee of approximately £200 for the replacement of the 12-volt battery in the EV6. Do you not advise testing it independently with my own multimeter? I fail to comprehend the rationale of substituting objects prior to the conclusion of their functional lifespan. If I schedule an appointment with a Kia dealer and they confirm that the battery is now functioning adequately, should I express my preference to invest in a new battery now, or should I defer this decision for another six months and have it re-evaluated by the dealer then?
  2. The BM6 appears aesthetically pleasing, and the battery life remains satisfactory after four years. I will likely acquire one.
  3. My KIA EV6 will reach four years of age next January, and I am quite apprehensive that the 12-volt battery may be nearing the conclusion of its functional lifespan. Batteries are more prone to failure in cold winter conditions. Replacing it promptly with a new one would be imprudent. They are somewhat costly to replace and 2. Contingent upon its prior existence, it may endure for an additional year or two. I possess a multimeter and am considering either leaving the battery cover off the 'frunk' during winter for expedited battery voltage checks or purchasing a Bluetooth battery monitor for approximately £25. What dissuaded me is the recommendation to affix them to the top of the battery, and presumably, one would then detach them upon battery failure. It is also improbable that it will be necessary during the initial years of the new battery's lifespan. What actions do other electric vehicle users undertake? Do they only await the failure of the 12-volt battery?
  4. I find myself in a same circumstance. Additionally, affection in Minnesota.
  5. The offset will not impact the 4Matic system; however, it may be adversely affected by any discrepancy in rolling radius between the front and rear wheels. If it resembles the BMW XDrive system, there exists a prescribed tolerance. Your insurance company, however, may oppose the concept. While it may be apparent, it is prudent to verify.
  6. Although it is already present in the fuel, augmenting it results in a cleaner combustion inside the chambers, yielding less smoke and debris. Et cetera. It is further enhanced when combined with cebo. Or Hydra EHN-99
  7. Indeed, it seems to be all I am capable of doing. I verified the rear schematic for the identical component, and the numbers match; both indicate 'rear' when I search on Google for purchase. I will either examine my own vehicle to see whether I can access the necessary area or contact them; nevertheless, I feel somewhat compelled to make a purchase when I do so. Merely my eccentric sentiment..lol. Remain calm, everyone.

  9. Greetings. Neglected to include the diagram link.
  10. I entered my chassis on the Partsouq website. I examine my brake diagram and get a component number. Section 75 on the diagram. Brake anchor. A 000 420 61 15 The graphic indicates it is for the front brake, although a Google search identifies it as the rear brake. It does not state "back," but "rear" refers to the back. The front and back are indeed distinct. My vehicle is equipped with a single piston caliper, however the 300 D has a two piston caliper. Despite my attempts to purchase a caliper, it does not display the carrier or mount bracket. I must be able to get my share. Recently, I removed it and neglected to search for the component number.Alas! Thank you, everyone.
  11. Greetings, everyone. How are you? May I inquire, please? E 220 W211. Anterior brake caliper. I am seeking the carrier. However, I am unable to locate any information on this component or its part number. The caliper is functioning well. New pins have been installed. There seems to be some residual movement. Please include any component number, if available. Thank you, everyone.
  12. In my four years of electric vehicle ownership, the one occasion I experienced the advantages of super-fast charging was last year when traveling to Switzerland via France. Nonetheless, I believe that charging speed is often overlooked, mostly due to ignorance. In my opinion, anyone purchasing an EV should be cognizant of all pertinent factors to make an educated selection.
  13. Indeed. My remarks are mostly directed at others who may peruse this thread in the future, providing a more comprehensive perspective where feasible.
  14. As a brief observation: If you want to do lengthy automobile rides often, consider the charging speed in addition to battery size and WLTP range. These vehicles are restricted to 100kW, making them suitable for urban environments but less than optimal for regular long-distance highway travel.
  15. Indeed I believe they have produced one stating Gottlieb Daimler
  16. The appointment with the dealer is scheduled for early March for the yearly servicing and issues. This community has an exemplary track record for advise and problem-sharing, making it prudent to consider the experiences of other members prior to trusting a dealer's assertions. Upon examining numerous global forums, it is evident that several owners have attempted cures, although none have shown significant results. These include the insertion of rubber strips on doors, various deflective devices on mirrors, and even the placement of domestic carpet under standard vehicle mats and boot lining. Upon further investigation today, I feel the issue is mostly due to insufficient insulation or noise dampening inside the body panels and wheel arches. Keith, may I enquire about the year of your GLA? Significant modifications have been included in the 2024 models.
  17. Indeed, I have perused the information. Numerous issues exist about the potential hardening of inappropriate rubber, nylon, or silicone tubes over time or in cold conditions, which may lead to further complications.
  18. Encountered a buddy who operates a nearby automotive repair business today and took another look. The lower areas of the rear doors exhibit minor dirt infiltration beyond the seals. Although all door seals are in satisfactory condition, they lack substantial integrity. All door seals seem like to little, deflated bicycle inner tubes (hollow yet almost flat to the touch). It is difficult to see how they provide any assistance until the vehicle's speed increases.
  19. My 2024 GLA200 has shown increased inside noise over the last couple of months. There is some tire noise contingent on the road surface, but mostly wind noise, with the close side seeming to be louder. Comments about loudness are seen on several Facebook sites. I have not yet identified the source of the noise; but, when inspecting the door seals today in inclement weather, it seems that Mercedes-Benz has compromised on the quality of the seals, since several are plainly misaligned by less than 1mm. The issue may not lie there, since there are gaps between different panels that would typically be sealed on many vehicles. Are there any GLA owners here who have seen similar issues and discovered solutions?
  20. Conduct study to identify the appropriate kind, since the non-dash compartment variant requires dash modification for proper fitting.
