2012 Kia Rio

[valacirca]

FYI Rio owners, I'll be keeping track of my fuel consumption sa Fuel Consumption Database thread. I started with this post and will update for each trip I make hanggang magsawa ako mag-monitor ng fc :D lol.

Okay, so I've decided to keep track of my fuel consumption on a per-trip basis based on the readings on the display panel. Yung manual computation gagawin ko lang everytime ako magpapa-full tank ng gas.

This is for a 2012 Kia Rio 1.4 EX AT Sedan

FUEL - What fuel is loaded in my tank
KM REMAIN - estimate of how many km the car can still travel based on the amount of gas in the tank (from the display)
ODO - odometer reading (from the display)
T.HRS - trip travel time (in hours; from the display)
T.MINS - trip tavel time (in mins; from the display)
TRIP (KM) - distance of trip (from the display)
AVE KPH - average speed of trip (from the display)
MANUAL KPH - manual computation of average speed (travel distance divided by travel time)
L/100KM - average fuel consumption during the trip (from the display)
KM/L - conversion of the fuel consumption to km/L
MANUAL KM/L - distance travelled since last full tank divided by liters of gas needed to refill to full tank

Mukhang mali naman yata mag complaint sa personal account niya. Tingin ko sa kia international parin pinaka ok mag complaint dahil mabilis ang sagot nila. Kelangan lang siguro ipunin lahat ng complaints tas maglista lahat kung ilan owners ang nagrereklamo

well pwede naman siguro kung maayos naman ang letter o email mo sa kanyan. IMO lang kasi, pag ganyan personal account na para private life niya na yan eh, hindi na kasama sa trabaho kaya baka hindi maging maganda ang dating. pero we can always try..

magpakabit nalang tayo unichip sa speedlab para mare-tune nila yun ECU natin hahaha! group buy nalang, baka bumababa ng 15K ang isa kasama pa dyno :wishful thinking:

With all those FC problems encountered, probably CAC is now eyeing to introduce this next year..
A dream for all Rio HB users..

Kia Introduces Rio SX M/T

Bad news for me nga pala: Yung 12-day old kong Rio, kinailangan agad dalhin sa casa!

Paano kasi kagabi, nasa The Fort Strip parking ako tapos sobrang tigas ng brake + hindi ko siya mastart. So I had to call Kia BGC (where I purchased the unit) and they sent two mechanics to the parking lot to check out the problem.

They said something seemed to be wrong with the computer and the car had to be left sa casa because kahit na ma-start nila at mauwi ko, baka the following day naman hindi ko din ma-start.

So I had no choice but to leave the car at Kia BGC.

I just picked up the car again an hour ago and they explained to me that they found a "cluster error" sa ECU or something like that.

Tinanong ko hindi ba dapat chineck-up nila yung unit before releasing it... so what could have happened between then and now (12 days) to have caused the error? Hindi nila masagot... minsan daw may nangyayari talaga na ganun

sounds like some of the Tucs in 2010

hi c_cube ang tanong eh mag work kaya sa auto natin unichip? mag improve kaya FC ilang percent? ang mahal kasi,kung mga 5k lang ok na

Tingin ko pwedeng magwork dahil pag nagpakabit ng unichip sa speed lab may dyno na kasama eh. So makikita mo talaga yun graph ng before and after ng pagkabit ng unichip.

30K din kasi eh, ilan fulltanks din kasi yun noh? pero im not sure kasi kung mawawala warranty pag kinabitan ng unichip eh. mahirap kasi baka biglang magka engine knock, hindi i-honor ng kia yun warranty hehehe!

so the best pa din talaga sa auto natin is an ECU upgrade. kelan kaya ito?

[valacirca]

How could we know if there is an ECU upgrade available?

May bayad ba dapat to?

Does this pertain to the software? hardware? or both?

Yup tingin ko ecu upgrade talaga kelangan, parang yun ginawa ng hari sa accent. Like what nicky said, 1st and 2nd gear are very long.

Kaya pansin ko pag nasa 3rd o 4th gear wala ng pulling power, kelangan mo lagi mag downshift. mapapansin mo ito pag biglang paakyat ang kalsada o akyat ka sa tulay, biglang nawawalan ng hatak kahit medyo idiin mo, dapat magdownshift muna.

Nun nagtest yun cac guy ng unit ko, yan mga ecu upgrade ginagawa nalang nila pag nag pms. Pero normally daw hindi na nila sinasabi o tatawagan ang client pag may bagong update o upgrade.

Alam ko pa nga number nun cac guy eh, gusto niyo meet natin minsan. mag ipon ipon tayo tas raise natin concerns pero hindi ako sigurado kung makakatulong.
