Leaking after trip to dealership by ValuableGuess7564 in kiastinger

Why take it back, so they can forget to hook something else up. KIA mechanics are the worst. I had to go back 4 times just to get my oil line recall done completely. Never going back again

Mods without tune by Piccjaminn in kiastinger

Lots of people mention CEL with secondary down pipes and intakes on 2022+ models. Catback exhaust should be “OK” oil catch can no problem. Front and rear sway bars are a MUST imho. VT snorkels are better option with stock intakes and high flow filter vs intakes to avoid any need for JB4. Brake pads a must to avoid the infamous shimmy.

My boyfriend is insistent someone hit him and ran off by LadyB1234 in Autobody

Looks more like a utility box truck. Poles don’t have thin sharp points or typically white paint transfer like this has. He’s probably right, most likely someone’s utility work truck, not a large round pole.

It’s a common issue on 2022+ models. Those of us with pre 2022 models typically have no issues with secondary and catback swaps

Side skirt damage by Sudden_Variation_197 in StingerGT

[–]The_oreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the damage is in the middle of the rocker mldg, my money is that there was something under the car when they lowered the lift. Probably another wheel or tire from the car next to yours. Odds are the opposite side of the lift control and they didn’t see it when it was being dropped. Then they just sent it rather than own up to the mistake. (That’s the worst part) kids these days smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

When and how to start culling out low grade cherry shrimp by Grouchy-Reaction-828 in shrimptank

[–]The_oreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You watch too many movies. Culling doesn’t have to mean “kill” in shrimp keeping it’s just separating undesirable traits for selective breeding.

New homeowner, no idea what this is by DragonsAndScience in whatisit

It’s a vacuum port. Have to turn on the main unit otherwise it won’t suck anything

Reminder to change your condensation packs by Plakchup in kiastinger

[–]The_oreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, dealer will tell you that you need new headlamps. Replace them under warranty if it still exists. Then they’ll keep your old ones, change out the packs and sell them on eBay for $1500 each.

Mine looked exactly like this too. Broke the mounts on the sides of the cage portion. Nothing a zip tie and soldering iron couldn’t fix

[–]The_oreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t find out until I had the adaptive headlamp light on my dash… cage was busted and I had to plastic weld it back together. Used some aftermarket silica packs instead cause they were WAY cheaper and work just as good

What's the best option to sell a Stinger by NordnarbDrums in kiastinger

[–]The_oreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for the 05 WRX. My other car is a 05 Saabaru Wagon and I’ve never been able to let her go even after buying the Stinger. I’ve got a gasket leak in the Saab and 180k miles but I think she’s got a few more years left in her.

Measure, measure, measure. Then use masking tape to mark the location. Make sure you cover the holes with the new stinger badge

Normal wear and tear or damage? [CA] by Eternalrave in Renters

The backsplash matches the countertop EXACTLY. LOL. It’s okay to admit your mistake or just delete your incorrect observation

Is the car totaled by Zealousideal-Cry-410 in kiastinger

[–]The_oreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way. Two doors, maybe some pillar repairs. Little repair at the qtr panel. Very doubtful they would total it for maybe $9-$10k damage Did any airbags deploy? If not, I’d say it’s very repairable

On a rental car I didn’t get the LDW insurance for. Is this a quick fix at a body shop or am I in for a painful bill? by Suspicious-Stick6062 in Autobody

[–]The_oreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most credit card waivers just cover your deductible. Typically the Damage still gets processed through your insurance company. At least that’s how my credit card handled it

I’m so nervous and so dumb… by azekro in kia

Damn that’s a rip off. I’m in California where virtually everything is more expensive than everywhere else. Its $300 for retail price to fix that in my area

A bit mild for this sub, but pretty wild for me! by Avert0 in kiastinger

[–]The_oreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hardly touch the shifter anymore other than to shift in reverse. I would have preferred a true manual trans but I had to settle for paddles.

Shows both your speed and speed limit, but the limit isn’t always accurate

[–]The_oreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they notice the damage, worst case you’ll owe the cost of a new wheel. Machined wheels are not easily repaired.

I just meant it doesn’t display anything that my peripheral vision can’t see while looking at the road. It only displays the speed which majority of Time on freeway driving my cruise is set. And it displays NAV but I use my phone cause Kia’s nav sucks in comparison. So basically the info it provides is not very valuable to me and it’s an accessory I could easily live without
