AV8R - I have this little green "electronic power steering" symbol showing up on my dashboard and my heads-up display (2020 GT2) . I'm not sure what it is for? At times it goes out... like if I turn on my blinker? What is it for? What triggers it to come on and go off?
thank you!!
Just have it CPO and the warranty will transfer over. Make sure to double check, i personally got an gt2 at 10k miles cpo from kia and the10 year 100k miles trasnfer over. On top of it i got a 6 year unlimited miles third party as I know I will be hitting a 100k miles way before 10 years.
See below extract from Kia owners manual
Howdy and welcome. No one on here would suggest, where you live, anything less than snow tires especially on RWD. If it were me, I'd simply drive in Smart and go very sedately on the go pedal when the roads are coated, at all.
Point one i concur.
No roof rattles here. But I've ready pretty much all that's been said about it on the forum. I'm with you, don't let them pull your roof apart unless they are replacing the entire sunroof frame (a la @westcoastGT ). There are far less invasive approaches to this first. Keep reading; you'll see recommendations for different lubricants and points to apply it; and loosening/tightening some or all of the retaining bolts on the frame (experimentation here) can reduce or eliminate the extraneous noises. Another surprisingly simple thing (and I would try this first if my Stinger developed sunroof noise) is to push up firmly around the headliner where it edges the sunroof opening: if you have any loose fasteners they will snap/click into place; at least one member (the originator of this fix, as I recall) had his sunroof noises entirely eradicated by securing the headliner by pushing up on it hard. After reading on here as much as you can find, you'll know more about what to try than anybody in your Kia service center, more than likely. Hah.
Thank you!!! Great advice. I will keep reading the threads for sure and definitely try what you have suggested. At least I have a week to really investigate this on the forum.

Interesting! I've read this about the Denso plugs, although I already bought the performance package from BMS and they only include Denso. I might switch to HKS after I get 10k miles on the Densos. I still have to decide which route I'm going to go to install the plugs. The install videos that do exist are not comprehensive enough and this is a lot less straight forward for someone who otherwise does not work on cars. The service manual has been a help in identifying things. I think I'm going to try the "work around" method first and if I can't get by I'll just take off the manifold. Already got my catch can in so I'm good there.
I would say it's recommended for any GDI engine. Here are a few videos that informed me when I did my research.
