Hi all, anyone has a similar problem?

The driver side AC vent in my Cerato 1.6 keeps venting out hot air. Only when I set the temperature to 20 degrees C does it vent cold air.

The SC is charging me RM350 to inspect , while repair estimate was in high hundreds to thousands

How old is your car?

btw, how much is your tint+leather seat+coating? is the coating glass coating? did you do it with KIA?

Sry for so much questions

I did all of that for around RM 5K after discount. yes, i ask the KIA Sales Advisor (SA) to do it, tint is raytech, nano coating from revivify and leather seat i forgot what's the company name.

I change because the Honda SA said he can get a ready stock car for me, but after loan has approved and all, still no news for the City Hybrid that i have booked. Coincidentally KIA is having promotion for the Cerato, thus the reason why i go grab it since they have ready stock for the car.

Definitely a good choice since the difference is night & day. I already owned a 2015 pre-facelift Honda City actually, so yeah the Cerato wins in every aspect in comparison.

I see, thank you for your reply! And congratulations on your new car!

Good to hear your review of the Cerato , especially coming from an existing Honda City owner. However, the sad fact is that many Malaysian buyers are still strongly attached to the brand, rather than the specs & features.

Anyone here installed Miracast to A/V into older Kia Cerato head unit? Something like the link: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/ybc-car-...s561682684.html

guys, wanted to ask. any1 change the stock rim 17' to 16'? need some views on this as the cost of tyre will be lower.

how often do u change ur tyres? yearly ? or 2-3 yrs? 4yrs? if 3+ yrs then dont bother. maintain as stock.
also if u change ur rims, u need to check if the disc brake calipers can fit with smaller rim. cause if the disc brake calipers r big, u still need a bigger rim for that gap between wheel n brake caliper

based on current millage, since the car birth till now, approx 2 yrs, only reach 30k.
the stock tyre sudah botak, so wanted to go n change tyre. my fren was saying that smaller rim, tyre is cheaper and my car would fit. not sure about the disc break.

The smallest rims that cerato can take is 15". Im using 15 because i want the car to be most comfortable. Cerato suspension also tuned to be comfort oriented than handling, so thicker tyre really match with the car characteristics.

may i know whats is the latest offer for k3 1.6?

K3 is still a good buy but left limited units at pre-SST price. Responded to you thru PM mode ya. Thanks

anyone know how to use the av in the head unit?

any telegram group for KIA Cerato K3 owners?

Hi guys, it has been a while since i last posted..
My car is almost two years now, been a hassle-free car i would say..

But just recently i noticed that the steering feels 'loose', seems like there is a half inch, an interplay when i turn the steering..is it a safety concern? Any idea how to fix it?

Possibly the clock spring, please send to the service center to make a warranty claim.

How much would cost to repair this
