  1. Searching Google for the component yields an image that appears to be a 16550 cell encased. I would highly anticipate discovering that overhead in the telematics SOS device, as they go for £30–£50 on eBay. Its placement elsewhere is an oversight in the design. It appears to be located behind the glovebox in certain older Kia models. You can find out for sure by searching by VIN on partsouq. Unfortunately, my car isn't listed there just yet.
  2. Does it emit a sickly sweet white vapour from the exhaust on those cold starts? My N57 turned out to be a glow plug controller and ran rough until it warmed up. According to my understanding, it maintains the glow plugs burning to even out combustion until the chamber is sufficiently heated to continue operating smoothly. It has to do with diesel.
  3. Have you received the letter that will inform you?
  4. Can you reset the differential pressure sensor? I purchased the iCarsoft Car Diagnostic Tool CR Pro+, but it fails to reset the values, retaining the previous ones. Additionally, the peculiar aspect is that the "new" sensor displays an unusual value of -18.xx, but the old sensor registered only -0.7x, even with the ignition activated.
  5. Thank you. I possess an XTOOL A30M, but it lacks the required option. I was unable to locate it anywhere
  6. Apologies for the redundant topic; which diagnostic tool do you recommend for Kia vehicles? I require it to reset the readings for the differential pressure sensor, among others. Thank you.
  7. I have owned a 2021 Kia e-Niro for two and a half years. The battery is covered under the 7-year warranty, provided it is maintained according to the specified service plan. I have been thoroughly satisfied with the vehicle. It is remarkably economical to use and maintain; nevertheless, I possess a home charger and benefit from overnight charging at 7p/KwH. If home charging were unavailable, I would purchase a petrol-only vehicle, at least until public charging gets more affordable (the availability of public charging is rather satisfactory currently). Kia continues to produce a substantial number of gasoline-powered vehicles, especially in the pre-owned market.
  8. I likely read it too hastily and misinterpreted it as "egg basket".
  9. I recently acquired a certified pre-owned 2023 CX-30, and the warranty brief explicitly indicates that emergency roadside assistance is included for the duration of the 7-year or 100,000-mile CPO limited powertrain warranty. Towing is specified to the nearest Mazda dealership. I question whether a new vehicle would possess anything inferior.
  10. In 18 years and 181,000 miles, I have never observed our vehicle performing a regeneration. Original DPF, albeit temperature and pressure sensors have been updated over the years.
  11. Indeed, the vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel. We are thoroughly enjoying the vehicle. We hope to avoid the undesirable battery problems.
  12. Greetings, everyone. Thank you for the responses. Indeed, it is a late-generation one. I conducted a test drive of a new Generation 2, 24-plate Icon. We were impressed; nonetheless, it was at the upper limit of our budget. I enquired with the salesperson whether it was equipped with both front and back sensors, to which he affirmed positively. We stated that we would contemplate it. After reviewing the specifications, we contacted the salesperson to enquire once more about the sensors. He was resolute that the car was equipped with the sensors. We presumed they had been included as an addition. We proceeded to register. Upon our arrival, we requested him to reverse the vehicle to demonstrate the use of the sensors. Speculate over the matter. Absence of auditory signals or alerts. We refrained from speaking to him. We abandoned him in the vehicle. Departed from the dealership
  13. Thank you for your prompt response. I can cease my concerns over the absent features that were unnecessary in the first place, amusingly. Yes, I have linked my phone to my profile. I believe linking to the key would be more advantageous for when my wife drives it to work. It thereafter appears in guest mode. Is it possible to associate her phone with my profile to prevent it from defaulting to guest mode while just my wife is in the vehicle?
  14. Greetings, everyone. First inquiry. I anticipated the presence of remote climate control on the Toyota app; nevertheless, it is absent. Ought it to be? I also considered linking my profile to the smart key fob. Once more, I am unable to locate that on the MMU. Any feedback would be valued.
  15. Does he possess the NTG 2 unit command? The most recent update was, regrettably, in 2019.
