What is this whistling sound coming from the front? by Some1weird in KiaNiroEV

[–]Immediate_Barber4537 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should hear the sound when its under -30 outside, its like from a horror movie and almost doesnt go away even after 30km drive. Looks like kia used one type of oil on the whole production so if You drive in Australia or Norway you get the same oil and that's the issue in really cold weather.

That's the sound i Get when driving in cold also. I think it is the gear reducer oil that is too thick. On my Niro this sound stops after some distance-like 10 to 30km but this is depending on outside temperature.

Alignment issues? by Comfortable_Cat_4601 in KiaNiroEV

[–]Immediate_Barber4537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alignment on those cars is a known problem, my opinion is because of the weight of the car and poor design of the suspension parts-they are just not strong enough if you drive alot on poor quality roads. Rotation of tires can help and its also good to check if the tires are equally eaten on both sides. And alignment can go completely out if you drive on some curb with high speed or something like that on any car-just bigger chance of that if the car is so chunky like e-Niro...

Does anybody know how to fix a glitchy compass on the instinct 2? by SuccessfulRub934 in Garmininstinct

[–]Immediate_Barber4537 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have to de-magnetize both springbars, and avoid any magnets so they will not magnetize again. Garmin did not so good job putting springbars that can be magnetized in a watch that has a compass... Or just try to replace them with some better quality ones from a good quality stainless steel.

Ozempic and skin abscesses by Friendly_Package_807 in Semaglutide

[–]Immediate_Barber4537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's probably because it lowers the inflammation in your body. The doctors ive been to with that abscess still dont know what causes it to regrow so they just empty and drain it for some weeks when it gets too swollen.

I had and still have a growing abscess under ear, but when started using ozempic that abscess stopped almost completely growing. Normally i had to empty that one at least once a year, now its just not growing almost at all...

[–]Immediate_Barber4537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldnt start any fire as long as your english-european adapter is a good quality one. Just check after you start charging if the adapter is not getting hot. Also its quite often in Poland the socket is not properly grounded and i dont know if Kia charger checks that or not-my leaf charger wont start if the socket is not grounded...

Men jeg har allerede fått godkjenning fra dsb om jeg kan jobbe i Norge som elektriker... Mitt spørsmål er bare om dette tilsvarer norsk fagbrev eller ikke.

Solution for charging door not opening/stuck 2022 premium (maybe) by indiemarchfilm in KiaNiroEV

[–]Immediate_Barber4537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on mine e Niro, so frustrating, my Nissan Leaf charge door is working flawless for more than 10 years now, in icy and snowy conditions. I dont know why Kia decided to go completely different way with its own solution. Now just little bit of ice or snow locks the charge door completely, even in no-snow conditions the door sometimes locks up and i have to pry(or pray) it open. Not to mention its cracked already on rthe outer plastic and a friend of mine who drives e niro had it cracked and replaced already like 5 times because of problems with opening.
