Re: Updating maps

Your dealer is crap!. They are just being bloody minded. Dealers DO upgrade the infotainment system. (At least mine did. Hendy Kia Ferndown Dorset.) Doing it yourself is a pain in the back side. You need humungous spare space on your computer and fibre connection. It is a massive down load. It is no...

Re: Forward looking safety systems contantly failing

Have you tried updating the software? It can be done over t'internet.? URL suggests that if the car is over 6 months old it should be updated. https://www.kia.com/uk/owners/navigation-software-update/ When I bought my eNiro at 2 y.o. the system was 2 yeras out of date. The dealer did it for me as my...

Re: Car pulling heavy to the left

I think you will find, that if using computerised tracking equipment, they don't lift it off it's wheels, just roll it onto pads.
tracking has to be done wit the full weight of the car on the ground.
Good luck.

Re: Car pulling heavy to the left

Mine also. Primacy 3s are OE. No need to bite any bullets. Car under warranty, so up to dealer to sort it out. Looking on t'internet it appears it is not a particularly uncommon problem. Try jacking the N/S/F wheel off the ground, try to spin the wheel by hand (ensuring the 'gear' knob is in N and N...

Re: Car pulling heavy to the left

I also have a 21 reg eNiro at 10,000miles. I don't have any problem like yours.
What make/model of tyres do you have fitted? When did the problem start? Was it immediate or crept up slowly on you?
