AC PUT OUT BAD SMELL FIRST 5 MINUTES? One of the best ways to prevent it is by turning off your AC (defrost too) and turning your blower on high about a block before you end your trip (like coming home or getting to your work place) -- this will reduce the amount of water in your AC system (from the condensation on the evaporator).

Hi all! I am a new KIA owner after pickup up a 2015 KIA Forte LX (I know, I should have went with the EX ). Anyway, after realizing how stripped down and bare the car was once I drove away from the dealer, I wanted to see if I could get an OEM KIA Keyless entry fob and have

2021 KIA FORTE GT REMOTE START OPTIONS Joined Oct 24, 2009. ·. 2,583 Posts. #2 · 5 mo ago. Considering the Kia remote start kit is $400+, $200 is not extreme for installationand it will be factory/dealer warranted. Also considering the newness of these cars there is little chance of finding a non-dealership auto repair shop that will have experience installing these on this

NOT SHIFTING BETWEEN PARK / REVERSE / NEUTRAL / DRIVE Hi folks KIA Forte, 2 door, automatic, 2010. As the title says, it's not shifting between park / reverse / neutral / drive correctly. There is some sort of misalignment. About 2 months ago I noticed my car would not always shift into reverse. It would take 3-5 seconds after

moving the stick

EXHAUST DIAMETER...

A fairly standard rule is a mild 4 cylinder system is done with 2.25", as any larger and you can actually decrease performance due to lower exhaust velocity and too little back pressure. There is a whole science behind it, but unless you are really, really experienced in tuning, and have the equipment to test-as-you-go I suggest sticking to

TOWING | KIA FORTE FORUM Any way for the hell of it I thought I'd see what a company that sells trailer hitch's had to say, and this is it. "The 2014 Kia Forte does not have a towing capacity. The owners manual states not to tow a trailer with this vehicle. A trailer hitch should only be used for accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier for this vehicle. FORTE NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY TO KEY FOB I must say that was a very detailed description of the problem you're having. Nicely done. Assuming there isn't an aftermarket keyless entry/alarm system installed (yes there are some that utilize the factory fob), the issue could be with the body control module

programming.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID Joined Apr 21, 2013. ·. 11 Posts. Discussion Starter · #1 · Jul 28, 2013. I know Kia/Hyundai are both plagued with pretty finicky manual transmissions. In my 2012 forte I have run Castrol Syntorq 75w85, oem, and Amsoil MTG 75w90. The 2 are better than OEM, but AMSoil is great but feels like there is resistance going from gear to gear.

TIMING BELT OR TIMING CHAIN? Book time for the t-belt is ~3.7 hours IIRC. Factor in a shop rate of ~$100/hr (the going rate here) and you're looking at $420 just for the belt and labor with no other belts or fluids. As for the OP, if you have a Forte and not a Spectra, than you have a Timing chain. All 2012 W/ NO TRANNY DIPSTICK?? Hello guys i have a 2012 forte sedan lx with the automatic 6 speed transmission.

WHY PLASTI-DIPPING YOUR ENTIRE CAR IS A COMPLETELY STUPID THING TO

DO.

Do-It-Yourself Articles First off, Yes I run a vinyl shop. No plastidip has not effected my business (other than crappy removals I've done) so don't kid yourself. 99.9% of my work is commercial advertising accounts.
