mycarforum: KIA K3 Owners check-in! part 40

Hi, fellow k3 drivers with push start/stop button. Am i right to say our cars doesnt have the in built steering lock function?

My old car used to be able to turn the steering wheel slightly after parking and remove the keys and it will be locked.

I drove into jb over the weekend and tried to do the same with the k3 but cant seems to get it.

There is steering lock for our K3. Usually after engine off, it is activated when u open your door, u can hear the locking mechanism sound. The steering wheel is locked.

Pretty sure all cars have this steering lock function....

Ohhh i see, i was wondering what's the sound everytime i open my doors.

My previous car still uses key ignition so button start/stop is new to me.

Thanks for the replies!

Wah bro new car u dare to drive to job ah?
I've went to rikecool today to replace my front windscreen film as there was a bubble in front of the driver's sight which they made it worst by pushing the bubble, end up got scratches. After replacing , immediately can see a bubble in front of passenger windscreen, and many others around. And my windscreen was left un-cleaned with lots of water marks. The workmanship by rikecool is inferior and not professional.

And I've booked for CS-2 Titanium Coating this Sat. Excited to see the results.

Wah bro new car u dare to drive to job ah?

Drove in twice alrdy, went makan and massage. One time park right outside the massage place with their own uncle as lookout, the other time parked inside ksl. In fact i saw so many sg cars inside ksl carpark, all reverse parked with straight front wheels, i guess they're braver then me.
seems like you wanna solve one problem but end up with more. My front windscreen also have one bubble at driver's bottom size, choose to just live with it.

Sometimes customs jam people will just brush against your car, just be careful. Previously the bubble was in front of driver, I cannot live with that, can't see the bubble for 10 years, so went to replace. Now the bubble is at passenger side, so I'll live with it. Very bad experience with rikecool.

Might be the quality of the film rather than the workmanship? Some types of films are harder to install. Also depends on the type of curvature on your windscreen. Did the installer use a heat gun to treat the film to soften it so that it adheres better to the curved front glass? For my VKool they did it for the back windscreen as it had a more pronunced curvature than the front apparently.

Heat gun is to shrink the film at the "fingering" areas. I think it's more of workmanship problem. Anyway gave up with rikecool. How much u did at v kool? But I think whatever film also will be hot like oven in our sg weather.

I paid 300 more to upgrade to platinum solar film, hope they dun screw me up [sweatdrop]

Bro please retract your top up. No use one in sg weather whatever film also hot one. And their workmanship sucks.

Any bros have this tok sound while turning steering to the right ?

Installed a Samurai rubber lip yesterday. Adds to the sporty look.

hi bros just to check did anybody bought k3 during the cars at expo event in april and had their car registered or delivered already ? Be it the normal scheme or the uber/grab/platinum scheme ?

�

I bought mine using the uber/grab scheme as my dad want to drive for uber during free time as he is retiring. I got my coe during the 5th May bidding. Settled the balance payment and paperwork but still have no news on the registration. Its been about 2 weeks.

�

Sorry for asking this as i'm still new to this. All my previous cars are 2nd hand. Never bought first hand before.�

I got my COE during 5 May bidding too. Already collected on 13 May.

�

Maybe the colour I chose is readily available but usual collection time might take 2-3 weeks.

�

Call your SE to check estimated delivery date.

check with ur SE if the car is in singapore already, ready stock or waiting for payment?

�

I bought existing stock so from downpay to coe to final payment and car collection in 1.5 weeks.

i chose planet blue. i guess i will call him to check again, Thanks for the info. Can't wait for my ride haha.

Call your SE and ask:
1. Date of car collection.
2. Is it waiting for shipment or ready stock.

Have to push for answer, can't leave it hanging in the air.

My SE said 2 weeks for me to collect car. But of cause when i collect the car i will check thoroughly make sure no addition problem if there's problem i will ask the SE to send it and do it i wont collect it. Till everything is done perfectly. We are buy a near 100k car not a $100 toy car lol..

Impossible.

U will still be collecting the car.

Its a 100k car. Not a rolls Royce

Agree. You have to collect car no matter what. Cos already registered. If don't collect you lugi only. Not them.

Bros.. anyone of you with Eurostyle HU with GPS. i want to ask one question, does your GPS comes with Traffic Aware option, where it detect traffic changes and will divert ur journey just like google map? I check mine doesn't have but in manual have ley..� [hur] �

And then there is this meter on the left hand side sometimes goes up and down changes colour from yellow to red. No idea what is that, maybe thats how they tell if got jam or not?

�

the meter should be for GPS signal strength.

�

the GPS has no way to be traffic aware unless you can get it to share your phone's data connection?

�

not sure if it is possible to enable this option with the eurostyle we received.

Thanks for the advise..

Thanks for the advise..

To you. It's a 100k car.

To the agents, it's just another 100k car. In fact one of the cheapest car.

U have very little bargaining power.

I have not collected mine too.

Cos yesterday at a parking area in Toa Payoh area met and talked to a driver of the similar car.� He bought 1.5 yrs ago and he mentioned that many electrical problems starting to surface now after coming to 2 yrs.� Eg, Radio reception is very unstable, the remote control key signal, the screen panel off by itself sometimes. Next is the Air-Con issues, sometimes is ok in the morning but sometime not cold but only air flow in the afternoon.

1. Radio reception will be affected if the halogens headlamps are mod to HID due to electrical noise.
2. Remote control signal due to weak battery or frequent dropping of remote onto the floor.
3. Aircon is on auto climate control, have to turn to max cold if not the air vents will blend hot air into the cabin.

Just purchased a K3 EX today with 2 bids guaranteed package! Delivery expected to be in June/July!�Looking forward to joining the K3 family. Is there a�owners' whatsapp group??�

What's the average mileage of a K3? Heard it's around 9.2litre/100km�

Try calling ur SE to check. Have you made the outstanding payment after getting COE? Ive done mine and will be collecting next Sat.

What's the average mileage of a K3? Heard it's around 9.2litre/100km�

It's very much depending on your right leg, but 9.2Lt/100KM is acceptable to me.�

On my trip info indicated 8.2Lt/100KM, but base on manual calculation, i'm getting 44Lt/470KM, that's 9.36Lt/100KM or 10.68KM/Lt, sometime worst.

Im not easy on throttle type of person, i usually rush from point A to B at a shortest possible time, occasionally relax driving.�

I can say K3's road handling is good, compare to my previous ride FD, butt feel better due to the electronics like VSD?

Power wise not so bad if you want to have some fun, but if you decides to save some fuel and drive slowly like change gear at 2K RPM, you'll probably getting abt 44Lt/520KM. �I can fall asleep when cruising below 2K RPM...haha

So if you consider a KIA, dont think too much over FC, if FC is a concerned, go for other make.

I've chosen K3 for the features that brings.

I should be happy to get the COE last round...looks like it won't be heading south any time soon

1. Radio reception will be affected if the halogens headlamps are mod to HID due to electrical noise.
2. Remote control signal due to weak battery or frequent dropping of remote onto the floor.
3. Aircon is on auto climate control, have to turn to max cold if not the air vents will blend hot air into the cabin.

He did mentioned that had changed the battery of the remote control but the signal indicator still showed signal weak ! Anyway, he said very tiring to keep going to service centre for all those electronic prbs that came out on and off .

Just done Titanium Coating at CS-2 on my black K3. Extremely shiny till mirror. Very good job done much better than C&C during car collection. Our car was not detailed during collection, just a touch & go job. Cs-2 took 6 hours in detailing. Overall very satisfied with the coating done and worth the money spent.

Just to share after CS-2 Titanium Coating. Car shine like mirror and not easy to have fingerprints. Previous all the white lines adhesive stains all have been removed. Now a spotless car with not even a single swirl marks. But how long it last and the hydrophobic, have to see how it goes.

Oh..what is your seat colour dont mind me asking? i wanted black exterior, brown interior, but no more stock.

The boss who applied the glass coating on my car said that there should be have a heat insulator below the car bonnet to protect the heat from the engine. Does it come with the car and C&C kelong us? Can advise?

Oh..what is your seat colour dont mind me asking? i wanted black exterior, brown interior, but no more stock.

Mine is brown interior. Ready stock. I booked on end March. Yours also black car? You check your boot lip, car top and bonnet edges carefully, sure got adhesive stains. C&C can't remove it despite polishing and wanted to re-spray. I got mine all removed by CS-2.

82999 was for non guaranteed package, coupled with the relatively "lower" COE at 42k

Is yours EX? My EX doesn't have the bonnet insulator back in 2014. I got one from stockist.

Wow so good FC. After the 1k run in and service, i manage 440km on a 40litre shell 95 tank. Which is around 11km/l.

just curious, is it normal for the rear windscreen to distort car headlights at night? I suspect it has to do with the solar films. Or is this normal?

when you saw ex was at $82999? i was told by people that�KIA are famous in not securing COE and ask customers to top up.

Not really true. It really depends on where the COE is heading. If you read back the previous pages, Q3-4 2015 when COE is going downhill, many of us got the COE on first bid non guaranteed package. I got mine COE on non guaranteed package last year. But for now, COE probably going uphill I guess, better to get guaranteed package to avoid disappointment.

Mine too but I don't care as I don't see rear. Ya it's the solar film.

If the Coe is on the uphill it is normal that they don't secure as they will loose money in the end. Only when Coe downhill then we should book non guaranteed. Every AD has the same practice.

No choice. My current ride COE expiring soon so have to bite the bullet and buy. Few hours after I bought, MAS announces the easing of car loan hahaha...

�

Actually I think still not too bad, with the easing of car loan, COE is likely to go North in excess of 50k, so buying now is better than buying when the COE is higher!

guys, any feedback on the Rikecool premium 28 solar film freebies from KIA? I thinking of exchanging this item for some other freebies..

After all you need solar film. And rikecool costs $900 if done outside, for v-kool or 3M cost even more. Cheaper ones have poor heat rejection. So just get this freebie bah. It has 10 years warranty.

What's the different other than the head lite and rear brake lite?

Interior?

�

When I booked my K3, my SE informed me that facelift was launching in June and asked if I wish to wait for it. I checked out the photos of it, and other than the headlights (new style DRL), rear brake light cluster, front and rear bumper, the interior looks exactly the same as the current model. I preferred the current look, so opted not to wait.

Call your SE and ask:
1. Date of car collection.
2. Is it waiting for shipment or ready stock.

Have to push for answer, can't leave it hanging in the air.

Bro, just to check that when we on the head light , is the DRL on as well ? According to the information downloaded from the net,the DRL is auto off when the head light is on .

the DRL is always on. just a little dimmer when the headlights or foglights are on too.

I think if COE dun run away much and to clear stock since facelift is here, those no hurry and like the current K3 can try their luck on the non guaranteed package.�

I still don't get why they "took out" the TFT full colour supervision cluster to a mono colour display in between the speedometer, including those digital fuel and coolant gauge were removed as well to analogue ones.Is it because there were issues?�

Got the original HU to let go for cheap..anyone interested?�

Nobody wants as every k3 owner will have what u have. Lol.

Maybe got some in accessories line wanna swallow all our HU at cheap and got avenues to re-export somewhere?�

Mine is brown interior. Ready stock. I booked on end March. Yours also black car? You check your boot lip, car top and bonnet edges carefully, sure got adhesive stains. C&C can't remove it despite polishing and wanted to re-spray. I got mine all removed by CS-2.
Mine have. Yours don't have?
You did glass coating at CS-2?

Haha, the SE called back and said there's a ready stock for black car brown interior, will not charge admin fee.

Anyway bros here have any recommendation for exterior minor "poison"? I was thinking of the samurai lip.. But it's a black car, dont think will see much effect.

maybe someone didn't want to top up and decided to forgo after 6 bids?

but anyway, the glass coatings, what happens when there is a need to respray due to minor accidents etc. do we need to remove it first? does it void any warranty?

Go Carousel have a look..tons of people selling but none sold off...

Hi, just collected my K3 SX last Saturday.

�

First time KIA owner. Had been driving a Mazda 3 since I started driving.

�

Was attracted to the KIA K3 because of the features we get for that price.

Congrats...welcome to the club!

Since the car came with the freebie thinkware car cam in front. If I wanna rear cam as well,need to remove and buy 1 full set with both front and back or can just purchase a rear and fix behind? Any bro done it oredi ? Need cost effective way

I've experienced/enjoyed cooler room with higher grade film. Pay up for the upgrade. But make sure dey give you the upgrade film. Even tho dey unlikely hoodwink u.

You can test the higher prices film. Ask shop. Dey got halogen lamp over diff films. That way, u 'trial-run' the film u buy.

My office is open car park expose 9 hours under sun, die die hv to do. Today first day parked there,

was slightly warm during lunch time but manageable. If no solar film, will feel like oven.

KIA is good. Mine EX. Got sound & heat proofing on firewall. That's the steel between you & engine. C&C no need lelong you. Cheap item. And factory installed.

Dear Coolbluepica, is this the item Icemountainman is quering? Is yrs same as mine? Meaning: is there another insulator to help the glass? Never seen/heard such, in my 67+ yrs - but not wanta dismiss mountainman's query, lightly. The glass area is cool enough. As it is sunshine heats it more than engine heat!

Bro glass coating is a paint protection. The insulation under bonnet he mentioned is the piece under side of the bonnet. You totally did not understand what we wrote.

looking into the rear view mirror at night, car headlights are spread out vertically down the rear windscreen. is this a solar film issue?

Hello bros just to update on FC. K3 has been a week old. Haven't done 1k service yet. So far so good no problems just that nexen tires quite noisy. Any tire recommendations for silent and grippy ride ?

�

1st Pump - 50L - 541km

�Odometer shows 8.5L per 100km

Manual calculation 10.82km per Litre

�

This is normal right as it is still running in ? By the way anybody change the horns ?

Just to add this is based on 50% highway and 50% normal road. i typically try to avoid jam areas.�

Gear change is done between RPM 2 -3.

Not bad ah. The fc is quite ok.

11kmlitre sounds about right for k3

Just look at the windscreen properly if there is any tiny bubbles.

The fc will get worst as time goes by. I ever hit 6.8L/100km during run in. But now only 8.6L/100km.

There is no silent and grippy tyres. Grippy always comes with noise. But better grippy tyres have less noise. Can try Goodyear F1 A2 or Conti Sport Contact 5.

Hey guys, I've booked a K3 last week. Left with COE bidding only. Was wondering what kinda PPS will be good for the car? The SE told me that I can do the Zertona PPS for $300+.

�

Just some info, I will not drive the car much. Usually once or twice a week, and the rest of the time it will be at my house's MSCP. So not sure which kinda PPS is recommended. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

C&C did not polish the car well , maybe this is not their forte and they have hundreds of cars to polish for car delivery. It's very obvious on black cars , adhesive stains left by protection sheets during car shipment. I also paid to do Zertona PPS but the adhesive stains was not removed and PPS applied to have patchy effect. All these was rectified when I went to CS-2 for PPS. it was then a perfect paintwork

To me it was a regret to take up Zertona from C&C and happy that I did CS-2.

It doesn't matter if you park under shade most of the time. A good PPS is to give a more intense and even colour , better protection against dirt and rain, better hydrophobic effect. I have not washed my car for one week after all the rain and shine daily. And it's still clean and glossy with no dirt and water marks.

That sounds great. How much did you pay for it? Should I go for ceramic or glass coating, what do you reckon?

$1082 and optional offset $25 gift card or can keep and use for car washing. I went for Titanium coating. Not sure about ceramic and glass. But I think just do the best since already doing PPS.

Whoah, titanium is like the best out of the rest. $1k seems quite high but if you think of it for the long run, it's probably okay. But I read for titanium, the warranty is for 3 years. Not sure if after 3 years need to re-do again. If so, then that's another $1k. Wahh..

Hi Guys,

Anyone into mod? Cosmetic, enhancement, ICE...whatever.

I find KIA has very little mod support availability, or modding DNA's not in KIA?

Thanks. Will you be doing at CS-II too?

Anybody else has this issue? The nexan tyres can cause mini vibrations ah

Not bad ah. The fc is quite ok.

11kmlitre sounds about right for k3

I bet you wouldn't believe it...just pump my petrol last night...distance travelled from last full tank = 659km, petrol pump = 40.52L..that work out to be 16.26km per litre or 6.15L per 100km...with abt 80% highway driving. This is by far my best FC among the six full tank pump..average of 6 full tank pump works out to 14.13km per litre..
