Re: Problem with the Catalytic Converter?

I don't need it because I already have a car, but they're going to drive the car back to me tomorrow, so it's obviously still fine to drive? They were just enquiring about a courtesy car and the excess of £500.

Problem with the Catalytic Converter?

Good day everyone, I was hoping to get some advice from you seasoned pros. On a 24 plate, I drive a Kia Sportage GTSline MHEV. It's been about a year since I got it. I took it in to have Kia check it out after the engine management light went on. They informed me that they would order a new exhaust ...

Re: Brittany charging stations? This is my first stint driving an electric vehicle overseas.

My itinerary through Brittany is now before me. Not only are there many charging stations, but the prices are significantly lower as well. Here, ultracharging costs no more than regular charging does. €0.30 in some locations for as much as 380 kWh. That rip-off British empire.

Brittany charging stations? This is my first stint driving an electric vehicle overseas.

Tragically, we have recently learned of the passing of a good French friend. From Roscoff, we will go to Concarneau in Brittany (Finistere) for the funeral. Is there anyone who knows where I can find charging stations in France? How many more are there than these? What is the best way for me to inve...

Re: Discomfort with charging: decreases by 1% when opening the door

When travelling and using the app. Obviously, it's drawing electricity, but is that power consumption anything close to 1%? No, I don't believe so.

Discomfort with charging: decreases by 1% when opening the door

My vehicle is a 2026 EV3 GT Line S. Whatever percentage I use, 80% or 100%, I've seen results. The percentage will drop by 1% the second I open the car door and get in. Could Kia please make it charge to either 80.99% or 99.99%? It's quite difficult. You can't do what most people would do—set the ap...

Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

A red wrench indicates an issue, whereas an orange one serves as a maintenance reminder. Perhaps at the most recent service appointment, the dealership neglected to reset the maintenance interval. Lots of tutorials on YouTube will show you how to reset it yourself.

Re: The 2019 Mercedes-W205 C200 AMG High-Efficient Vehicle has gearbox issues.

Do you really think it won't alter at speeds of 75 mph or more?
It was aggravating, but not a defect, that my own MB 7G auto wouldn't shift up until I was travelling at least 70 mph.

Re: Infrequent usage - is it typical to get a low battery warning?

I too thought so, so I put an extra battery in the trunk 😂. When the voltage dips below a particular threshold, the automobile will likely begin to shut down various systems. Probably won't worry with the vehicle alarm and entry system till the very end. But a fully charged battery is ideal for any ...
