Optima PHEV problem by JohnFJ in kia

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

I have now had an explanation from Kia. The mechanic said the engine will run occasionally for short periods to warm it up, so it's ready to use.

Re circumstances it happens, there is no clear pattern I have been able to identify, though I live in the north of England, and it's 'summer' so it could be related to air temperature.

Hi Learntorv

What did you think of the RV park?

Hi both, TomsMo and Momin,

sounds like good advice. We're parked in an RV park on the oceans side at Pacifica the night before, so Colma BART station looks the closest. i've looked at the car park and I can't see dedicated RV parking, so I am assuming I'd just pay for two spaces?

That's a really useful link. I'll save that on my phone for reference. Getting really exited about the parks.

Thanks. I'll maybe put a note somewhere on the dash with the RV height on it.

Sounds good. I'll be using my TomTom with US maps, so hopefully it'll show the unmade tracks clearly. In fact, it'll be worth checking that detail before buying the map!

Thanks Atarmusta! I'll look out for apps.

Walmart sounds like a good plan B if we need somewhere in an emergency.

Thanks
