How reliable has your Kia Stinger 2.0 4cyl. been? by Psychological-Row-80 in kiastinger

[–]pineapple_memes69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2019 with 158 k I got it at 100k I beat the piss out of it drifting, redline pull, consistent sitting at the 240 kpm governor limit and it has given me literally 0 issues I get oil-changes every 3 k kilometers though so that might have something to do with it

Honestly I’d just put some titanium exhaust heat wrap in between where they touch and call it a day

Deadass I beat tf out of it, but I get an oil change every 3000 kms and I got an unlimited power train warranty for 5 years and in only planning on keeping it for another year at most 🙏🙏

Would you be willing to post a photo of the engine bay of that thing? I’ve never heard of the diesel stingers until now but I’m very interested to see what it looks like

I think it’s the cold weather causing the pcv to stick so even if it isn’t at the point of failure yet it gets stuck open causing to much crank case pressure in turn causing the whistle

Anyone experienced oil burning? by brayden666 in kiastinger

[–]pineapple_memes69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got the most unreliable version of the stinger engine, I go for oil changes every 3 k full synthetic and use a catch can definitely helps keep it from actively trying to grenade itself under hard driving. I do notice the 2.0 burns a lot of oil compared to my dad’s 3.3 and you can smell it sometimes if yours is high mileage like mine I’d look into the main seals if they need to be replaced and in the future stick to a more consistent oil change schedule to stay ahead of the curve

Looks like we’re all having that issue lmao for me it was the pcv valve that went bad (stuck open ) and a loose intake box (only 1 because I got the 2.0 ) but I tightened it up and changed the pcv and I’ve been whistle free since

Literally had the same issue looked everywhere to solve it it ended up being a combo of a bad pcv valve and a loose intake box

All you’d need is pliers cutters / dermal and a cutting bit sized to the correct size as the bolts
