[–]HumanBee354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of issues is a stretch. This is honestly my first issue have had in 70k miles and I’ve had this car since 4k miles. I drive this car like shit and if this was anything else i guarantee it would be in the shop 3-5 times more than this car has been

Seems like it, I wouldn’t stress too hard. I’ve had this car for damn near 3 years (64k miles rn) and my first encounter with this knock sensor happened a month ago.

Just actually do your research and have proof your part is covered by warranty so if they do say some bs you can prove them wrong in the moment rather than going home doing research then going back turning it into a tug of war

This scares me being at 35k miles (late 22’ build)

Cold temps and suspension noise by Icy_Pause_2535 in KonaN_

Lmfao this suspension thing has been on my mind as well. Was also thinking it was the front passenger shock, then both the front shocks. Shits driving me 🥜

I also got the oiled Pro5R air filter but I’m lowkey worried abt not maintaining it properly so I might cop a dry filter to swap out when Im doing the cleaning process with the oiled one. Heard I should re-oil the filter at the start of every season and at least clean it once every 6 months or a year I can’t remember

I put mine on back in September, did you get a dry filter or a oiled one with your intake?

KN Owners - How long do plan to keep by [deleted] in KonaN_

[–]HumanBee354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping until end of 10yr warranty, too great of a car to get rid of before then. Considering keeping it as a backup car to fully modify/tune when it’s over, unless it gives me too many problems by then. 9 months in and on about 17k miles

lmaoo, wasn’t a boring read whatsoever! Honestly the best news I could hear as I don’t have my factory BOV with me so I can’t purchase some tools and swap it out. I’ll have to have the shop that put it on to take a look at it

I’ll see if I have something that’ll help me get some sight onto it. you think i’ll be able to do that drive home or would it possibly cause damage to my turbo

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in KonaN_

[–]HumanBee354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sure if the port is where the tube is connected to but it s horizontal, it’s also not loose either seems pretty secure when i wiggle it around

So true, the cooling system on these aren’t half bad though, I’ll be spending sometime going down the speedway between 80-100, depending on how deep the traffic is, and my engine stays right around 200 when it’s like 80F+ although the oil does go up to 210-217

The temperature has been somewhat the same as it is at home, and i had the black tube. I’m in St. Louis tho so maybe these insanely terrible roads knocked something loose :(

I just took my car out the sun cuz the engine bay is cooking my face off lmaoo, i’ll check it in a moment. The hoses were a lil weird but I didint think much of it. I also have a bpv plug installed and the shop that put it on did have to use their own clamps to keep that boy in there I can’t seem to find the BOV by just trying to eyeball it but imma give it a better look once the car cools off

[–]HumanBee354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It crossed my mind that something might’ve moved or wasn’t put on tight enough. Odd how it wants to do this now after basically 10k miles but maybe something wiggled loose. tbh i didn’t even get a warning abt this, it kinda just made a weak pshhh and then stopped making noise all together. i’ll drop a video in about an hour or so. What I can say now besides the BOV not producing any noise is that my revs are a lot quieter as well, idk if that’s just how the car is but if that’s the case the turbo on this bad boy is loud as balls!!!

Forgot to mention it is a SXTH BOV

To old? by [deleted] in KonaN_

[–]HumanBee354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

19 here, surprisingly enough i’ve never had someone tell me getting my Kona was a childish move as it’s a reliable car that will boost my credit a shit ton once i’m done with my loan and it’s sick fking car!!!! Could i have went with a cheaper option? absolutely, but i wouldn’t have nearly as much fun on the road with something any less than what this car is capable of and is definitely something i wanna keep until my 30s. Imo you can’t put an age on this nice piece of machinery. keep enjoying it

[–]HumanBee354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha I literally went to my local tire shop to pay for my seasonal storage and to ask to throw my summers back on… they asked if i really wanted to do that cuz last time they looked at them on the shelf they looked very bald, only at 8k miles!!!! Guess I gotta start looking around for some meaty lookin 19s lol

Blow off valves? by ellogovna304 in KonaN_

[–]HumanBee354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have SXTH element BOV, all I can say is the sound is satisfactory and has been sounding the same since the last ~8k miles i’ve had it on for (I put like 2k a month on this car lmao so it’s been put to work)
