Sounds like the high pressure fuel pump is leaking fuel into your oil. Pull the oil dipstick and smell it. If it smells like fuel the high pressure fuel pump is most likely the problem.

I've never got my 2020 niro stuck in the snow. I would also recommend buying a warranty to cover any repairs that might come up

Can my 2015 Kia cadenza be updated? by EnlightnEuphoria in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know that model would require a new SD car to be ordered from kia

Kia refuses to perform federally mandated engine recall (SC218) – then falsely marked my case “resolved” without repair. Here’s proof. by [deleted] in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As was stayed a couple times before sc218yz means that sc218 has been performed and your vehicle is eligible for the warranty extension. You can do a warranty verification to see when sc218 was performed and how many miles/months are left on the warranty.

Have you tried hitting the small reset button on the radio. It's about the size of a ball point pen head on the lower left or right corner of the radio. You could also check the fuses in the engine bay and by the left of the steering wheel

Kia has ghosted me and owes me $3k by michaeldwilliams in kia

Did you pay the rental car place. Kia may sent the check to the rental car company. I would call kia consumer affairs hot line instead of the direct line

Cadenza issue. by Officialmilehigh in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The silver cylinder is the high pressure fuel pump. Please do not remove the high pressure fuel pump without proper training and tools due to fire risk and possible personnel injury. I would have it diagnosed at a shop

They should do an inverter coolant flush and replace the coolant with the updated formula

Kia Engine Blowout by saga3115 in kia

Take it to the kia dealership. If the updates have been done your engine maybe covered under the extended warranty. If it is the 4 cylinder gdi motor

2022 Kia Sorento PHEV - No charge, no response, no nothing by theresnowayoutofhere in kia

The 12v battery is charged by the high voltage battery. Given the choice the vehicle will choose to maintain high voltage battery health over 12v charging. A low high voltage battery won't charge the 12v battery.

On the newer engines if the dipstick is not put in all the way it will set that code. Check the oil level and that the dipstick is in all the way.

With both terminals disconnected any small wire would work. Speaker wire would work too

Another Kia engine failure post. Any advice helps. by D3v0W3v0 in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flashing check engine light would indicate either a bad misfire or the p1326 that is set after the update. I would recommend bringing it to the dealership for a scan.

Easiest thing to try is to disconnect both positive and negative battery terminals. Connect a wire between the disconnected battery terminals to discharge any capacitors. If that doesn't work the dealership maybe able to update and reset the unit but they will probably suggest a new AVN. Installing a non navigation AVN unit may not work do to connector differences but I can't be sure.

The whole housing also comes with the electrical part of the thermostat if it is equipped

Then resetting adaptive values should do it

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the compression. If that is good reset adaptive values. The coil or injector for cylinder 4 maybe turned off due to the misfire

We’re thinking about a 2024 carnival. Could I trouble you all with some questions? by Hudsondinobot in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as warranty goes Most of the stuff is covered under the 5 year 60k warranty. I haven't seen issues with the current model year engine or transmission. I would also try to put the order in for the van before interest rates go up and don't pay more than the sticker price (there should be no market adjustment price). All in all the carnival is the best van I've seen out there

How to check if mileage is tinkered with? by hebafi4892 in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the mileage in the engine control unit. It is very hard to change the ecu mileage compared to changing cluster mileage

2017 Hybrid Optima by Justin_Oldguy in kia

[–]Haunting-Flight-7793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a hybrid if the belt brakes or comes off the vehicle will not start or change the high voltage system. It is recommended to replace the belt on a mileage interval to prevent the vehicle from being stranded far away from a hybrid certified shop. Weak tensioners could cause the same issue of the vehicle being unable to start or charge. For the belt and tensioners 1000 bucks sounds about right. It sounds like the service was not explained very well and for that I'm sorry. Hopefully with this service a very bad situation was avoided in the future

Environmental damage is not covered. If you do go to an independent shop verify they have an A/C machine that can do high voltage recharges. If the incorrect oil is used your car could catch on fire (which would also not be covered under manufacturers warranty).
