We just acquired our Sportage and are in the process of replacing the cabin filter. It has been challenging to get the correct filter, since I have been attempting to use a Bosch filter.

Kia OEM Air Filter - Part Number 28113C1100

Purchased a KIA authentic part from Arnold Clark after trying Bosch and Borgern Beck options that were somewhat thinner.
The old one definitely needs to be done, in my opinion.

I replaced mine last year, I believe it had never been changed before, but it was in better condition than yours. 🙂 Purchased a Borg & Beck product on Ebay, and it matched the one I removed perfectly. I inscribed the date on the side of mine for future use.

I will preserve the information from the Arnold Clark one since it is the correct one. I have plenty of options to choose from now. I could consider giving it to my wife's cousin who owns a Sportage if they are interested.
Currently awaiting the delivery of my 32GB SD card to attempt updating the navigation system. Tried using a 64GB USB stick with the software, but it was not compatible. I will insert the SD card directly since I have heard that using the USB loom might be tricky.Here is my previous software version. Does it seem to have been updated?

The head unit is a Gen 5 Standard and can only be updated via a 32GB SD card. The USB port is used for music files or connecting your phone. Some versions may have also let the upload and download of Sat Nav address files, however this information is not confirmed.

That would be logical. Thank you, Mr. diablos_carcv5

i've actually ordered one of those "Android Auto" wireless links from Amazon to see if it works with my Samsung mobby

This is rather peculiar. Users on this platform may encounter dealers that alter things. You seem to be the unfortunate one in this situation.
I suggest using a carbon filter since they are effective. The thickness should not make a significant difference.

I have a 3-year service contract and they have never replaced the pollen filter.
Clearly use the incorrect dealer.
This is the one that was installed when I purchased the vehicle from the same dealer.

Reminder to self: Gianni682's first priority is the carbon ones.

[ENVIOclev]

Wow

[diablos_carcv5]

These filters are very valuable and very easy to replace.

Similarly, I had not replaced my cabin filter in the three years I had owned the vehicle, despite paying for dealer servicing. Despite being listed as an annual service item in the handbook. No information provided. Although I have no reason to complain, if they had taken the time to inspect it, they would have recognised it was far from standard. This may have led them to decline the synchromesh rebuild and other warranty work they performed for me at no cost.

Purchased a NAPA product at a reasonable price, and it fits well. (and it was quite successful for Ash Sutton in the British Touring Car Championship)

majority of factors I have discovered two sizes of cabin filters: one for vehicles manufactured in Korea priced at about £20, and the other for automobiles built in Slovakia priced at around £45. Can you determine the origin of the UK models?

The auto dealer for my non-Kia vehicle only performed an oil change during the "full pre-delivery" service, but they overfilled the oil. The air and pollen filters were heavily contaminated, resembling ash pans.
