Re: Downloading Over-the-Air Updates via the Kia Connect Store For £76
The Kia dealership caters to ccNC machines. The 22nd Gen5W units appear to have been branded in the customary Kia fashion. Because they didn't proofread anything, they made a huge mistake. It also seems like the app never gets updated and tested.

Re: Downloading Over-the-Air Updates via the Kia Connect Store For £76
Because it does not have a defined meaning, the ASA should make it unlawful to use the word "lifetime" in advertisements.
The "Lifetime" according to Kia refers to the duration of your 7-year warranty. Not for the vehicle's lifespan, not even for the duration of your ownership of the vehicle

Re: Simple access and departure..
A function that was absent from my previous two vehicles—the new "auto setting"—allowed me to adjust my seat to a height of 5 feet, 10 inches.
Is there a potential for conflict between the two?

Simple access and departure..
The new E450d estate's quick entrance and exit setup has been giving me trouble.
For instance, you may set your driving position on Motorway 1. The seat barely travels around <1" backwards when I turn off the engine and unlock the driver's door.
When I got back in, I was hoping the seat would go ...

Re: Is it possible to modify the profile of my tyre?
Those identical JCW wheels up there are running 225 45 17. Optimum features include a more comfortable ride and a more defined arch. Drawbacks: when full lock, the fronts rub against the shock. My homework didn't turn this in, so I'm a little bummed about that. However, I think some 10mm spacers ...

Both hot and cold are bad, but cold is definitely worse.

Re: Gaseous OM642 emissions have an unpleasant aroma.
Not sure, maybe the past two weeks. The only "smell" I catch when I come to a stop during a regen is the increased heat from the over 600 degree DPF, not the exhaust, because I normally drive during these periods. It would surprise me if there were any leaks, but I will check.

Definitely a greater odour than before; even Mrs. Ai noticed it, and she usually doesn't pay attention to car problems until they break.

Gaseous OM642 emissions have an unpleasant aroma.
There is no odour within the vehicle, but the exhaust gases from the tailpipes give off a distinct odour. The odour of my exhaust fumes is much stronger now than it was before. I only notice it when I'm outside the car with the engine running or as I reverse through the fumes.

Re: The 2011 Audi 2.0 TDI Quattro
Hey there. Video CDs will be utilised by me. Three weeks ago, I swapped out the battery. Before, I failed miserably at jumping starts. I haven't used VCDS to recode it yet! For what purposes is "under the hood" used? In the engine compartment, up front, I do have a positive and negative terminal ...
