mycarforum: KIA K3 Owners check-in! part 44

Only affects your warranty for brakes. What brake pads u buying ? Stock brake pads not bad mah, quiet. Most aftermarket pads will produce grinding noise.

Yes agree, stock brakes buay pai liao..

�

unless wanna use K3 for road racing, then i think u need to change engine, tyres, etc.. lol.. just joking, dun angry hor...

�

but seriously, stock is good enough.. ��

Ya, then might as well add wings and a jet engine too...� [angel]

N.A cars no point upgrade brakes. Stock is the best. Unless turbo cars going for big brake kit. Aftermarket pads might no sit properly and create grinding noise.

I realised that the ride is much quieter when on lower tyre pressure , 33psi. Before that 35psi very noisy.

drop the Koup's turbocharger in?

Bro do u feel that the bass is weaker while driving than car is stationary ? And night time seems that it sounds better than daytime.

under ur aircon controls, there is a compartment juz ahead of the gearstick. Open it up, �u will see ur USB, Aux and 2 cigg slot

Anybody using K&N filter? Is it good?

some ppl say K&N filter, more air flow, more power. But more dirt will go thru and need to maintain it.

�

some ppl say stock bo power, less air flow but dirty just throw and replace.

I go for the latter, lazy person� [laugh]

very minimal gain, but lots of dirt go in...

Hello all k3 owners, if replace wheels, tyres and brake pads outside workshop will it affect the warranty?

�

Use the stock brake pads. The original brake pads are superb. They hardly generate any brake dust. I switched to another car make and my front wheels were always coated with brake dust. My previous Elantra and current Sonata don't have this problem at all. Should be same for Kia as well cos I don't see any K3s with dirty front or rear rims that are full of brake dust.

Yup our k3 has no brake dust. Our rims always quite clean.

Anyone knows where to mod the Eurostyle HU to continue playing music when the reverse cam is activated?

By Default, the music is shut off when the reverse cam is activated , as a safety measure...

No need mod. Can be set in the HU. I can't really remember where but I saw it before. If I remember correctly, put gear to reverse, then press "set" on the screen.

Bro give me a praise please. Lol

Ya correct. I just got into my car and checked. Remembered I saw it before but still prefers to mute music while reverse so can listen to reverse sensors.

Thanks for upz!

Any Bros here collected the FL K3?

Probably will use the stock brake pads.

What about wheels and tyre? If replace after market one will affect warranty?

Probably will use the stock brake pads.

What about wheels and tyre? If replace after market one will affect warranty?

Definitely not... warranty will still be valid unless your wheel replacement is deemed to have added excessive stress to the joints or axles etc so that they break down prematurely. For example, you change from the given 16/17 inch rims to much larger rims like 19/20 inch rims and up the tire size to like 235/245 width... this will add excessive stress to the wheel hub and bearings, shaft/axles, shaft bearings, brakes, power steering mechanism, suspension, shocks, gear box. Then if these break down and the AD workshop checks and says your wheels and tires are oversized and hence caused the premature breakdown and they don't want to cover, it's their right...

Probably will use the stock brake pads.

What about wheels and tyre? If replace after market one will affect warranty?

Nope. I replaced my stock tyres to Michelin PS3 since day 1. No void warranty

Love your ride...

actually they can argue till cow comes home to void warranty la. juz stand ur ground.

Wheels and tyres most ppl will change. For SX model, the rims are good looking enuff. For tyres, its a wear n tear item, no issue to change.

Actually ah anybody else getting the same issue I'm facing with MINI VIBRATIONS?

�

It's really minute and the car will vibrate while cruising (more noticeable at higher speeds). Its hard to feel it but if u say out like "ahhhhhh" u can feel it. Definitely not road condition as its most obvious on very smooth roads (like TPE/KPE). I've driven other brands for over 11 years and never had this issue.

�

Car is 1mth old. Checked the wheel balance and rotation no problems there. Suspect suspension.

Any guru can advise?

I did the 1k service, and subsequently went back again. Brought the technician out for a drive but he didn't think the vibrations were unusual. Checked the wheel balance and all was good. They brought a new 2016 FL model for me to try and honestly I did feel a little bit of the same issue with the showroom model.

�

Wondering if it's car design/make/brand...

�

But other cars I've driven and even my previous 10-yr old toyota also not lidat leh.

If install ICE and HID will it void warranty ?

My car has the Tok Tok sound from steering sometimes. Went c&c many times but they couldn't figure out, so I'll just live with it.

Maybe you can look into changing the stock tyres. The tyres create vibration. I had the same experience and changed the stock tyres, vibrations gone

You had the exact same experience too with the mini vibrations?

Wow.

Which tyres did u get and u got it like really early on or? Any tips?

Hi, I am new to the forum. I had booked the FL K3 last month, collecting it next month, anything to look out for when collecting the new ride?

Congrats! Do they come with HID or Halogen low beams?

I also collecting next mth. I think the difference between fl or pre fl is now comes with drive mode. Which a lot former Thot is another kind of flex steer. But it's not. Then is the 2 front ventilated seat and boot release. As for outlook only front n rear bumper change. Rest remain same

Can someone help me pls? How do i save radio channel on the eurostyle ah? Was trying to figure out for last 30mins.. The manual also no use.

Thanks! Will take note to ask for those checks when I next go back (scheduled or unscheduled). Did u also consider other tyres?

�

But again not to doubt you but the vibrations are really mini - i.e. its really difficult to feel it, unless you are like singing a song or humming along. If I dont make noise while driving the ride feels smooth - maybe I need to test other K3s. Probably testing a friend's K3 this weekend to see how.

Im on 9K mileage so cant tell the thread wear rate accurately..thread still looks good... Grip has been very good..gives me the confidence on wet road. Better grip for a lesser threadwear rate I feel is worth it.

I booked mine late May and collected one month later. No freebies at all. Not even solar film. Solar film got to pay $450 and Eurostyle HU got to pay $1K.�No complimentary servicing package. Everything no no no. Think its becos�I took very low loan at $32K and the SE commission will be low.�Same goes when I bought my Cerato V2 8 years ago, whereby I got to pay for my leather seats and solar film.

I did my first 1K servicing 2 weeks ago. Realized they indicated on the servicing schedule decal that the next servicing will be 10K later. I thought the next servicing should be 5K right?

Why wait till 3rd day? U could have traded in immediately on day 1?

After csc5 the minivibrations didnt get better?

Im considering this tyre too, did u consider others before deciding?

I found out that it's the tyre pressure that causes the vibrations. Advised to follow manufacturers recommendation 32psi instead of pumping to higher pressure. I've tried many other brands and settled for CSC5 due to its execellent wet grip, smoothness, precised steer and stable cornering.

How's the thread wear like? I heard wear quite fast.

For me I never bother about thread wear rate. Enjoying changing new tyres, don't like to use a set for too long. Anyway bought from Stamford tyres at $198 though little more expensive than LS $160, LS parallel imported but Stamford made in turkey. And got free rotations unlimited and free patching and free nitrogen. Quite worth as rotation outside charge about $20.

Totally agreed. The stock nexen tyre is damn crappy noisy.

I using Bridgestone gr100 now. Legendary quiet tyres. Absolutely loved it. Very minimal vibration from the road surface. Paid $205/tyre. Worth the investment

What is CC5? Conti Comfort Contact?

I'm using CSC5 noise level quite ok, but still slight noise on rougher roads. Actually doesn't bother me I'm not a tyre noise detailed. Just blast my ICE and listen to bass.

Yup. With reasonably good grip. Used it for trips up north..reliable

205 ex Liao lo..what size u using? I got at 180 from South East tyres.. trade in stk nexen still got discount..

215/45/r17. Got it from Chen Jin. Was in the area, tot drop by take a look. Price was reasonable so went for it.

Tyre pressure? So yours is ok now ah didnt u say u still feel a lil after csc5?

Im more inclined to ps3 actually, read that csc5 wear rate is horrible.

50 is not the correct profile. The overal diameter increases, will affect speedometer accuracy and cannot clear wheel well if carry heavy load.

Yes 45 is the correct profile. Overall the size diff if 50 215 is about 2% bigger. No material impact to speedo n clearance

Where you guys go to change tyres?

Do you have like favourite/preferred shops or prefer stuff like after sales service for rebalancing etc.

Not sure if the shops near my place has many selection of tyres.

Bridgestone GR100 is meant as a touring tyre. Means it has lower rolling resistance. It tends to be very quiet when compared to slight performance tyres.
GR100 grip wise is still okay. But I bought it cos I want less road noise.
Before this I was using Dunlop sport maxx tt. Grip was good. But after 5k mileage, it become even noisier than the stock nexen. Brought it down to another shop and realized all 4 tyres had very serious uneven wear. Hence the noise.
They couldn't figure out why also since my car is relatively new and alignment was only slightly off. The alignment off could be due to my rims striking the kerb.

I used to have Yokohama s drive on my old car. It is very grippy. But the offset is that it is noisier and wears quite fast.

Checked out tyrepac prices look decent.

I live in the north so near the yishun industrial areas.

Thanks for the review..
Usually Dunlop not very good in wear. But instead of tt. Rt will be quieter.

Just changed to Goodyear f1a3. Quieter than stock and even my CO as the passenger can feel that the braking improves..
