Kia Owners forum? What is this?

We all know KIA's have no SOUL

Get it?

nervorum:
I'm hoping i cn get sm advise here:

I own an 07 kia cerato manual transmission, presently clocking 112k km., boughtvat 60k km.

Recently gear has become stiff and difficult to select. Reverse gear engages with an uncomfortable grinding sound, 5th gear hardly selects.

Had a technician check who says d clutch system is fine, no leaks, adequate clutch oil, clutch pedal depresses just fine. He thinks d clutch disk would need chngin but im afraid.

From my searching on d net, im wondering if it could be d transmission oil.

Car manual says to chg at 100k km with a 75w 85 grade (fill for life).

Considering engine is clocking 112k, shld i attempt d chg..if d oil spec is fill for life, why would it require changing (that is supposing present oil is factory filled).

I need sm guide frm smone with experience.

drain and refill manual transmission hypoid gear fluid 75W85. Try if you can get the mobius branded type, if you can't, use Toyota GL-5 or even Mobil type.

Hello guys, good day. Please what could be the cause and solution to my kia pincanto been unable to accerate. Driving from gear 1, it is usually very slow to pick up n after a while it does pick up and accerate but whenever I break n had to start from 1, the same thing happens. N rit now, it cannot even climb.

mayor2013:

Is yours an auto transmission or manual transmission

okeythaone:

It is manual

mayor2013:


sounds like a worn out clutch and disc plate. Any check engine light on?

okeythaone:

OK, thanks. So it's to change both clutch plate n disc I guess. Though there is no check light on.

Vehicle is underpowered. Too many variables involved. no quick remote solution.

mayor2013:


hardly would you see a check light on stay on this car.as small as it is parts are pretty expensive

you never asked what year model it was. It could be as simple as a fuel pump, and as hard as sludge

Diagnosis first. Do you find it difficult shifting through gears when you clutch down

okeythaone:

I don't find it difficult when shifting gears. N the picanto is 2005 model.

mayor2013:


Have a proper diagnosis carried out first

lai lai, no run, come back you must solve it

Hi folks, my 2010 Cerato is giving me headache. I hear a knocking sound when u turn the steering left and right. Mechanics here have suggested that it poses no danger bu the sound is uncomfortable and most obvious when I drive over a pot-hole or a bump. It seems to be a common problem with Kia from my online researches.Had anyone experienced this or has solutions to it?

lesluga:
i own a 2010 cerato and she is a very sexy machine. i have not had any issues with her and her fuel economy is superb.

The Kia stinger is an absolute beast.
