mycarforum: KIA K3 Owners check-in! part 25

Hi Guys,

�

Need some advices...

�

In my previous ride, if I am not using�for a long period (few weeks), I would lock manually with key (so that the alarm will not tap on the battery).

So for K3, I understand that even if we lock with the key, the alarm is still armed. Anyway to disarm the alarm ?

Also, for the Thinkware camera, we can just unplug the power cable, right ?

Anyone can share some advices ?

�

Thx in advance...

�

Actually, I'm from another school of thought which doesn't believe in run in anymore... I drive like I would a car the first day I collect the new car and yes, I did whack my vios above 160kmh to kl when the odo read 700+km only... By the time I send for my 1k free service, odo read 1700+km already... And no problem with gb or engine... Same for my current latio .... Hehe.... Not for fainted heart thou... I know most people will feel heart pain when see how I hit nearly red line on first week of collecting my new car... Hehe...

�

Vios is known to be quite sturdy... maybe can tahan

�

Some people heck care now with the logic that the dockworkers etc. that are involved in your car's journey to you may have already abuse it liao.... my car collected got like 72km i think on odo.... [confused]

Mine only 13km on odo when collected.

Hey all, about running in, hope this helps. The below pointers are taken from the KIA Forte K3 owner's manual:

�

No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.

Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

Yup, that is the standard paragraph in the manual for breaking in.

HI Guys

Has anyone replace the Air filter?
Currently I'm looking for K&N Air Filter. Does anyone have the model code? for Kia K3

The model number is 33-2451. Price~ $9X

Thanks bro , where do you get around that price

�

Haha, on the bright side, it's better to check the car properly before leaving the showroom. Idling for a little longer, to check the car would save some headache. Like for me, it was during this check that I found a paint defect on the front bumper. KIA fixed it FOC at my 10k servicing.

�

Thanks!.. that's a great pull out from owner's manual... but too late for me, mine just broke 1000km last week and serviced.

My lousy SE definitely did not read the manual...�

Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.

While handing over, it was idled for at least 10mins...

it seems like zertona that came along wasn't really well done, or perhaps not done at all.�

Water marks appear so quickly on my 3 months k3.

There is a car detailer at ispace, i did my ceramic coating today. Price is definitely lower than other bigger detailers outside. Workmanship and attitude is good too.�

I think "resistance to water spots" may mean that water spots cannot leave permanent marks. But, well, I dunno.

Oh u saw mine at the workplace? Hahahha. Should have gotten a red or white k3. Metal stream hard to bring out the shine

Just ordered my K3 SX from Car Expo last week, waiting for COE bidding, hoping to get my new ride before Christmas. Can't wait.

�

Wanted the SX Sports, but was told that no more sports version, only SX. So disappointed, therefore settled with SX without a choice. Anyway, still very excited.

�

Did not take their car cam as freebie cos wanted to install myself outside when i get my ride, probably front and rear. Can i check, the Thinkware car cam C&C providing, does it come with some sort of power magic thing, that allow the car cam to continue recording while parked and away from the car?

i thot there are a few more black SX Sports units?

If nothing changed, their dashcam should be thinkware H10. Can find from thinkware web to see if it supports.

Will collect my EX at the end of Nov too.. Will try out Supremo as well!!

How is the quality of their cquartz for those have tried? Much better than ceramic 9H coating?

SX means you pay cheaper insurance without the sunroof. Which is good for your pocket...lol

�

Yes, Think ware car cam does recording while parked.

the reduced features is a deal breaker for me especially the airbags...

�

i did ceramic coating too. but i still see water spot.�

�

going back to conventional polish and wax next year.

I ordered Meguiar's Last Touch Detailer by the gallons to wipe frequently.�

No need to buff like wax, just spray on and wipe off for glossy no-streak shine.�

Best part, won't whiten plastics or rubber parts.�

I also heard from my SA 2 airbags for my SX. But saw on sgcarmart the latest updates for SX, stating 6 airbags. Confusing. Can anybody confirm?

Other than the 3 items listed above, i think also don't have the auto dimming rear mirror. That's what i heard from my SA. Annoying thing is their catalogue given does not have any information on what features have and don't have. No black and white, all verbal.

Before signing, make the SE sign on the equipment list of what your car is getting.

This ensures you get what you pay for.

You mean Smart Keyless or Keyless (std remote)..?

Edited by danzo, 17 November 2015 - 11:19 AM.

I have no idea myself. When I booked my EX, I only know that it came with smart key, which served as immobilizer.

Then the attachment shared showed EX has keyless entry.. What does keyless entry mean, actually? Just press button to unlock door? Or those keeping key in your pocket, and you can press button on door ledge to unlock?

Collecting my new K3 today. Anyone knows if it is okay to drive to KL during the initial 1,000 km run in period? I know the manual says keep below 4,000 rpm, but is there any speed limit? Is 110 or 120 km/hr okay?

Dec to CNY is the period where accidents are the highest. You wanna take the risk?

Anyway, I would not do that, although I think it is OK.. You can keep rpm low by slowly accelerating, and achieve 100km/h slower.. I drove around 90km/h on AYE - PIE daily during running in..�

Thanks for all your advice...I think I will not do that - will use my old ride instead and collect my new K3 when I get back from Malaysia, though it means I will 'lose' a few days since the new car is already registered. Hope it is safe to keep the new car at the AD.

Its OK.. at least your SE is good to let you keep it with them.. heard the SE is "billed" for keeping customers car in their warehouse for too long...

Just wondering if any bros here noticed that the b pillar of the K3 is actually adhesive vinyl tape? Very surprised that it is when my gal open the door and damaged it. When i close inspection, turns out to be a sticker peeling off.

Try not to drive so fast probably stay within speed limits first but u need to rev your engine up and down �but not beyond 4k for a start.

Also higher speed also more prone to rock chip damage easily as my ride gotten its first big chip off during 1st week of ownership despite 5 layer of protection managed to resist it and only seen a bit of plastic but I probably driving too fast :P.

Yo guys, I just ordered my SX last Sunday.
Can I ask, the eurostyle HU when connected to IPod via the USB, need to use linkpod function to play ah?

Can just use the default 'Music' function to control and play my iPod music?

And did anyone change their spark plug to iridium spark plugs?

Anyone here who got the 1st Dec bidding, and collected the car already?

�

My SE told me only can collect car after Christmas, say will delay due to new car inspection from LTA. Anyway, I already paid balance and sign necessary paperwork and know my car they have ready stock.

Hi all,

�

Please pardon me, I am a newbie here.

�

I have been driving the K3 for a month now. So far so good.

�

Would like to ask if any of the people here faced any issue at all with the car?

�

If so, what issue?

�

Can share? so that I can be on the look out for these.

�

For K3 soon to be owners, I would recommend to ask for the sun screen as part of the package.

�

Useful for ppl with kids. fit nicely onto the windows.

Hi Guys

�

Ive been lurking in this thread for a while now, time for me to say Hi :) Its getting really quiet nowadays, is there an alternate forum where you guys gather? Im a fellow K3 driver as well.

�

PM to Maomao82

My radio reception is very bad too! Can't really hear anything in tunnels. Is it because K3 does not have exposed antenna anymore? My previous ride Cerato Forte does not have this problem.

�

�

Hi ElvisTkh, is your radio reception issue resolved?

Is it stock or after market?

�

Any bro here drive on ECP (between MCE and Changi)?

My radio reception is bad at this stretch.

It should not be the radio station issue because the bad reception happens with all channels and I do not recall it happening with my previous car's HU.

�

My HU is the aftermarket "Eurostyle Multimedia System" installed by C&C.

�

I told the service advisor and he had noted it.

But he have not heard from other owners.

�

If any bros here have the same problem, do highlight during servicing.

If this is indeed a common problem, then they could investigate.

Otherwise, mine could just be an isolated case.
