    Just went out to the store and when we got back to the house we noticed a pretty bad scratch on the back bumper. We imagine it was a cart. I’m pretty particular about my car looking good so I’m extremely upset. It feels like it went through the paint. how should I go about fixing this? You...

    I was just wondering if anyone knew where the DRL ACC fuse is on a 2019-2022 LXS? I purchased a hood LED strip 12v voltage, current 10A and the instructions are telling me to connect it to the DRL ACC but I can not find it to save my life. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

  6. Kia Forte 2.0L Engine Discussion
    Popped open the hood of the Kitty Koup to find the engine cover completely fubar. It looks like I'm missing things too? I was going to detail the engine bay myself, but I think I'm going to need some heavy duty materials. My current plan of action: lightly hose it off, use some armor all, turtle...

    The car audio world is honestly overwhelming so I gotta ask someone I have the 2018 Kia Forte 6 speaker sound system and am not happy with the sound stage and bass. That being said, I'm not too picky and just want a solid upgrade. I'd like to keep the stock radio since it's the 7in touchscreen...

    Can someone help diagnose what could be wrong. Feels like misfire, the vibration from the steering wheel feels like misfire but it's not actually misfiring, it sounds like it is coming from drive train. Doesn't happen when super light in acceleration, only when driving normal or faster. For a...

    I was looking for a short throw shifter for my 2010 2.4l koup and found one on kiaparts.com but once I ordered it they emailed me to say Kia discontinued production of the sport shifter they offered. Anyone know where I can find an aftermarket one in 2021?

    I just found out that block heaters do not come standard on Kia vehicles and it is almost always an added "accessory" at the dealership. My local dealership sells the block heater for about $90. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction of a guide on how to install it...

    Any videos on the sound of it on the GT? Looking for more sound. I would go muffler delete but it gets too loud after 4k RPM. Side question: (May be stupid but I'm learning) On the Cat-back system, they show 2 resonators. I have seen the one in the mid pipe but not the other one. Is the other...

    I was Looking at the Flowmaster 10 Series But that's not quite what the shop needs in order to build the exhaust the way I want them to. The attached picture is about what I'm looking for at about the same size and sound level of the Flowmaster.

    Hey everyone, So my 2010 2.0l forte w/ around 110k on it has been making an awful sound for a while now. I'd say around around 6-7 months tbh. It seems to be located around the left side of the engine (by the accessory drive area) and it is like a whirring or droning noise. This noise...

    I had quick discharge issues with my battery for a week, ended up replacing it but now my radios not working. 2014 Kia Forte LX, the buttons and knobs glow red like normal but no response from the screen and no sound. Dealerships are not much help here either, they say check the multimedia fuses...

    Got a new Forte GT at the end of January and have been loving it so far! Only trouble I've had with it is a rattling type of noise that seems to come from the shifter area at higher RPM's. If anyone has had any experience/success in dealing with this issue on this type of gear box I would really...
