  1. A compound and polish may do wonders for the bumper. Aside from rubbing back and painting afresh, there isn't much you can do with crazy clear when the door has had terrible paint before.
  2. If aesthetics aren't an issue, a standard mig welder blast should be enough to seal the joint.
  3. The government recall service indicates it pertains to the airbag and provides additional details as follows: "Affected vehicles may have undergone a retrofit or conversion of the airbag utilising a previously recalled airbag variant, which, if deployed, may do so with excessive force, resulting in the release of sharp metal fragments that could cause serious or potentially fatal injuries to individuals nearby." The factory-installed airbag for the car is unaffected.
  4. Greetings and salutations
  5. 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.
  6. My ISTR would regenerate approximately every third or fourth tank full, translating to a distance of between 1,500 and 2,000 miles; but, as I sold the car 11 years ago, my memory may be inaccurate. Additionally, my everyday journey occurred on rapid A- and B-roads, which may have facilitated more frequent regenerative braking without my awareness.
  7. I installed a 12.3-inch aftermarket screen from Aliexpress in my B8. I highly recommend it for Android Auto; it may be worthwhile for you to explore. Mine originated from Nunoo Factory Store. I wish you success in locating the perfect vehicle! My foundational unit was the MMI 2G High with Bang & Olufsen. Following the installation of the new screen, it remains impressive, in my opinion! The MMI High employs fibre optics for audio, as previously indicated.
  8. We consistently replace the pipes when we also change the bellows. It is also advisable to examine the level sensors.
  9. I am astonished that this menu is accessible to you. It is often concealed from the driver for a specific purpose.
  10. Thank you for the prompt reply, which corroborates my prior belief. I am pretty satisfied with the automatic charging and have been using coasting and mild braking techniques. I am very satisfied with the vehicle so far; it represents a significant advancement over the 2018 Tiguan I previously operated.
  11. Hello everyone, I have had my Sportage for around three weeks and believe I have mastered all the technology except for one aspect. I comprehended from various movies and the manual that I might adjust the regeneration rate by using the paddles. Nevertheless, each time I do this, they alter the gear ratio. Can I adjust the regeneration in my HEV, or is it only controlled automatically? Thank you
  12. I have not yet needed to use it, but it is reassuring to be informed.
  13. Affirmative. I often use their eBay store, where eBay discount certificates are available, proving to be very beneficial. They are also very prompt in delivery.
  14. I have found Parts in Motion to be excellent. Based in the UK, in contrast to Autodoc.
