    Hello Guys Im planning to get a BNEW 2012 kia rio but upon testing my chosen unit I heard like a typewriter noise in the engine at idle. took a video and uploaded to youtube.
    Is this the same sound as the Accent Engine knock?
    thanks

    I hope this helps. :toast: My sister's 2011 1.4L Accent A/T issues were recently solved by a complete replacement of the CVVT system by HARI. She also went through the whole charade of ECU software updates, advice of only using only Shell 97 octane gas, etc... with still the presence of engine knocks, high rpm upshifts, poor engine performance and poor fuel economy. :ill:
