Re: brake master cylinder failed on 2016 2.2 Diesel Sorento

I've already confirmed with this vendor that they do not have the master cylinder or the necessary repair parts for my vehicle in stock.

brake master cylinder failed on 2016 2.2 Diesel Sorento

I need a new set of seals for the brake master cylinder. Does anyone know where I can get them?

Everyone I've contacted has said they don't have this item in stock, except for Kia.

Re: Update on the C180's satnav

Re: A/C Whispering Sound

It appears to cool down perfectly, yes. Turning up the fans is the only way to hide the growing noise, although even on Auto 1 settings, it was never too loud.
