  1. 128k is not substantial. Consistent oil changes will prolong its operational lifespan significantly. The noise diminishes after an oil change; nevertheless, one acclimatises to the engine's sound and fails to perceive the difference until the subsequent change. Does it make sense?
  2. It is fortunate that you had a longer battery life than average. Typically, batteries tend to last about 5 or 6 years. In the case of your previous vehicle, the Kia Sportage (2017), you had to replace the battery after 6 years when it stopped functioning. It is possible that your prior automobiles had or now have far less electrical components operating in the background.
  3. That batteries is identical to the one I have in my skyactive x. The other day, when I was organising the media, I left the doors open and the ignition on for a period of time, which resulted in the battery losing all its charge. Fortunately, my compact power pack successfully started the device. However, I am now concerned about the possibility of it abandoning me in a helpless situation. I have decided to heed EtherealWanderer's recommendation and purchase a 65Ah battery.
  4. Consider attempting the procedure by disconnecting the blue line, which I believe is related to the ibs. I have never been knowledgeable or interested in electrical systems.
  5. I have previously encountered this issue on this platform, but I am now unable to locate the specific thread. I will review it again later after I have had more coffee. Additionally, do the remaining functionalities such as lights, wipers, and other components operate properly? A cable defect in the B+ circuit causes a complete shutdown of all electrical functions, including the ability to lock and start the device.
  6. Was this feature included in the upgrade for the radar cruise control, or is it separate? Do you happen to own the programme version or any further information that you can provide? The performance of this automobile in stop and go traffic is unsatisfactory. That is my main complaint.
  7. I see online readers with prices ranging from $70 to $500. Do you have any suggestions?
  8. Although I lack the VCDS software, I shall make an attempt using the resources now available to me. I will be able to get one in the future. My nephew and I raced Golf R cars on a track, and he had a far greater amount of equipment.
  9. I own a code reader and will try to use it in order to determine whether any relevant information is revealed.
  10. Occasionally, the vehicle fails to start with either of the key fobs. Both items are equipped with fresh batteries. Position them in the appropriate location to reestablish synchronisation with the automobile and achieve no result. If I am fortunate, after around one hour, both of them function. If this situation persists, I am uncertain if my wife would feel at ease bringing it along when we travel. Is there a recurring problem with these automobiles or is there a specific issue with my vehicle? What were the drawbacks of using traditional keys? Thank you everybody...
  11. The use of STARVIS 2 technology in the 4K resolution is very impressive and sophisticated. 👍
  12. There have been reports indicating that the usage of parking mode might have a negative impact on the battery. I just use a Dongar. Indeed, the fuses are of the Micro2 kind. From which automobile does the fusebox cover originate?
  13. The drop link is indeed reliable, however I am unsure of the appropriate methods for checking the shock mount without removing it. Do you possess the knowledge to verify that?
  14. All the bushings seem to be in excellent condition, as I checked them by applying leverage with a bar while the vehicle was raised. Additionally, the shock mount seems to be in good condition, as there are no visible fractures and the bearing is functioning well.
  15. Greetings, individuals. I apologise for the potential triviality of this issue, but it has been one year since I first noticed a noise emanating from my front suspension. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to determine the source of the noise, which is why I am seeking assistance. To elaborate on my issue, I am experiencing a knocking or clucking sound originating from the front right suspension of my vehicle. This noise is sometimes heard while encountering significant bumps and always happens after making a quick left turn, specifically when the pressure on the right wheels is relieved. I have previously replaced the stabiliser bar links, and there is no noticeable movement in the steering, bushings, or shock absorber bearing. The spring is in good condition. We appreciate and encourage your assistance.
  16. The question is fundamentally flawed. The answer is contingent upon the specific kind of battery you own. There is no one solution that applies to all categories. Kia cell balancing is performed by charging the battery to its maximum capacity using an alternating current (A/C) power source, as stated in the manual. It is advised to carry out this procedure once a month in order to maintain the battery's optimal performance. Conclusion of the day. The depreciation of your battery will not be noticeable for many years. Observe the leafs that are over 10 years old, together with their basic, compact batteries that lack temperature management, but continue to function. What is the expected lifespan of a Kia battery with thermal management? I prefer relying on Bjorn Nyland's empirical testing and outcomes for older vehicles, rather than an AI-generated response. At the end of the day, I am recharging my automobile to levels that are appropriate for my current requirements. The responsibility of dealing with the battery will be left to others when the automobile reaches a much older age.
  17. Kia already has built-in configurations to restrict the maximum charging capacity. (user specified, as it is appropriate) It should be noted that it is not possible to fully charge a battery to 100% due to the buffer between the overall battery capacity and the useable capacity.
  18. Why do individuals fail to use their turn signals while switching lanes, rendering them ineffective?
  19. Greetings After careful deliberation, I make it a point to fully charge my Mazda CX60 PHEV every day. This is because the battery capacity is rather tiny, and even a 10% reduction in charge may have a significant impact. Unlike an EV with a larger range, surrendering any portion of the charge is more consequential in my case. Furthermore, it is important to note that there is a difference between what we see and the real capacity of the battery. Additionally, Mazda provides a generous guarantee for the battery, and as far as I am aware, they do not specify any specific restrictions or guidelines for charging. Therefore, I recommend using it to its maximum potential.
  20. The vents on my facelift model are also silver. Indeed, the inclusion of the black optics package may have also brought about this alteration.
  21. The original V10 vents were silver, however, several owners opted to replace them with black ones.
  22. You are now located in Telford... If the expenses of trailering to an independent mechanic, such as MSL, outweigh the higher charges of the local Mercedes-Benz dealer, then it may be more beneficial to choose the latter. Do you have homestart breakdown insurance that covers this?
  23. I am contemplating the possibility of giving them an opportunity to replace the battery. As you said, this solution has the potential to address all these problems at once, resulting in the automobile being restored to its optimal condition.
