The problem has existed since the cars were produced. Kia announced the recall in mid August. Although it is a safety recall, apparently there have been no reported incidents; it is simply a precautionary measure, so I wouldn't worry about leaving it a while. The text of the press release: Kia Motor...

So what were the pressures previously? Mine are maintained at 37psi. Perhaps 32/33 is sufficiently low to trip the sensor. Section 7-15 of the manual has the following: CAUTION In winter or cold weather the low tyre pressure telltale may illuminate if the tyre pressure was adjusted to the recommende...

This thread (and several others) contains several references to "brimming" the fuel tank in order to accurately determine fuel consumption. However, on the Fuelly website, several people have written that this is not a sensible thing to do. I quote: a) "Modern cars - for the last 25 y...

Hi Rob, I saw your earlier posts but I didn't reply, because I haven't any knowledge of any similar problems. However as you have re-posted you are clearly quite concerned. The only hydraulic issue I am aware of is the recall that some cars have had concerning a leaky clutch master cylinder. That is...

apparently some owners of VWs (and perhaps other makes) have found that since Android 8, they get their normal phone ringtone through Android Auto. (there aren't any ringtone options within AA - it just uses whatever the phone is set to use). The fact that we don't get a choice is no longer due to a...

I'm using Oreo 8.1.0 with Android Auto on a Xiaomi Redmi Note4 with no issues with regard voice commands - for making calls, navigation, and playing media. I haven't tried using it for initiating text messages yet. Will try it out over the next few days and let you know. I previously had a Oneplus X...

Why bother with the charge point? All it does is to reduce the charging time from 4hrs to 2.5. If you can live with the longer charge time, then you only need the 3 pin plug and 13A "granny" charger. Don't believe the "Only for use in emergencies or short term" statements. That, ...

I'm less concerned with the position of the port than its construction. Mine keeps bouncing back open when I close it. Jane can't get hers to open very easily, and every time I put mine on charge it's a lottery as to whether I'm going to need to open the bonnet to pull on the orange release cable. O...

Hello Valleyjazz and welcome to the forum, I have the PHEV, and regularly do the drive from Watford to Oxford and don't have any issues with the hills. However, I think that my model is a bit more powerful than the HEV, so it will be interesting how you find it around High Wycombe and out towards Pr...

On Tuesday I did a return trip between with about 4.5 hrs between the outward and return journeys. The computer recorded it as 2 separate trips. 26 miles out (I did a slight detour) and 24 miles back. Today I did the same trip with very similar timings, and it recorded it as a single journey of 48 m...
