I own a code reader and will try to use it in order to determine whether any relevant information is revealed.

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...

The use of STARVIS 2 technology in the 4K resolution is very impressive and sophisticated. 👍

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?

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? -

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. -
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.

It is advisable to charge more often up to 80%.

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. -

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. -
Why do individuals fail to use their turn signals while switching lanes, rendering them ineffective?

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.

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?
-
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.
-
It is possible that the vehicle may have been stored at the dealership for an extended period, causing the battery to deteriorate. If the dealer replaces the battery and believes that it resolves the issue, I may consider giving it another go. Perhaps we were hasty in expressing our disinterest, but as you might guess, my spouse was not pleased. Her 11-year-old X1 vehicle functioned well until two days after an update, when it suddenly stopped working.

Greetings everyone, I would want to inform you that my spouse just acquired a 2019 facelift Evoque on Tuesday, and she expressed great admiration for it. The appearance is aesthetically pleasing and the performance of the drive is also remarkable. Although there was a little inside vibration, the overall buy was excellent. The whole automobile exudes a sense of high quality. I had already encountered all the negative rumours, but I maintain the belief that they cannot all be negative. However, on the second morning of owning the automobile, it refuses to start and all the electrical components are rapidly flashing. Additionally, all warning lights are on, the car cannot be locked, the number plate lights are on continuously, relays are audibly clicking, and the dials are flickering. At the moment, it is even impossible to get access to the vehicle. The dealer is reclaiming it in response to our rejection. My wife has a strong affinity for it and wants another one, but I am uncertain whether I have the courage to proceed. Are they really so detrimental? Undoubtedly, the automobiles must possess a satisfactory quality, else they would have acquired a significantly negative reputation. I want to avoid the possibility of acquiring another item and thereafter undergoing the whole procedure of purchasing, taxing, and insuring, only to have to subsequently terminate all of these arrangements. Are there any owners on here that do not had any problems?

A few days ago, I received a letter about my 2015 gated V8. I will contact the dealership to see if this is applicable to my manual R8.

The continuous load for each item is 750kg, resulting in a total limit of 3000kg, which is still rather helpful. Additionally, the failure point is expected to be at least twice that amount.

The threadstarter should consider purchasing adjustable rear camber arms. These aftermarket components provide a better degree of fine-tuning for your car's settings compared to the original specifications. Additionally, you may consider using adjustable rear toe-in arms to achieve complete adjustability. Ebay offers a wide range of items for sale, including both low-quality merchandise and high-quality products.

I have been unwell for a few days (I am still experiencing discomfort). I reached out to our only Kia Dealer, who informed me that he had previously attempted to address this very problem with Kia on behalf of another customer. However, Kia's response was that because they had not experienced any failures, they are not liable to provide coverage. Regarding the yearly bodywork check, I was informed that there is no authorised Kia representative available here to do the inspection. Therefore, it has not been conducted or certified. I am now using a wire brush to clean the brackets individually. After that, I am applying an anti-rust coating and then brushing on two coats of Satin Hammerite paint. Unfortunately, the local garage did not have any black aerosol paint available, so I would have to go 50 miles round trip to the next autostore to get it. I am propping up the back hatch with a wooden beam.

Thank you for the responses received so far. Indeed, I acknowledge that I may have shown an excessive emotional response. However, I remain dissatisfied with the current standard of some fittings. I will examine the struts tomorrow to see the process of their removal. I own rust treatment and paint that I acquired from past projects.
