2012 Kia Rio

[timo07]

nawala na yata si cyberian,i would not blame him if he got a DEAL with the kia people,na "IF WE GIVE THIS TO YOU,YOU WILL KEEP SILENT ABOUT IT AND NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN EVER". i would do the same if i get a better deal hehehehe.

Well as a Car Owner, we will understand if this is the case for Cyberian. Just for the sake of getting a better deal, we can compromise di ba? But for Kia, won't it be better if they will be upfront sa customers? We consumers will appreciate it better if we know that problems are being addressed rather than being covered up. Mas mapapasama sila kung ganito ang nangyayari. If Kia wants to cut losses then ito nga gagawin nila, but if they want to prove Kia's quality, then they should be transparent to the problems and the solutions they are providing customers.

Kaya siguro naglabas ng 1.4 6 speed manual na may istop ang kia dahil sa bad FC ng 1.4AT..

Halos lahat bad FC nakukuha. Im averaging 7-8 km/l with mix city and hway but mostly city driving.

For 1.4 hindi talagang magandang consumption ito.

Na test drive ko yun kahapon. NOT BAD! Pero nagulat talaga ako sa mga FC ng Rio's ninyo. Sa Fiesta nakaka 10km/L ako city tapos 1.6L pa makina nun... Kaya di talaga ako makapaniwala sa FC ng Kia. Kaya pala when I test drove kahapon tanong ng SA if ano current car ko? Sabi ko Ford Fiesta. Tapos tanong agad kamusta daw FC ng Fiesta. Sabi ko 10km/L sa city, tumahimik sya and di nag boast that the Rio can do better than that...

But im still hoping FC will get better after 1st pms of 7.5k.

Halos 1.5k palang kasi din odo ko. Sana mag improve habang tumataas pa mileage.

Yes Sir mag iimprove yan, have the same problem s fuel consumption -from 0kms to 2000+kms ODO, now around 5k+ odo happy with my FC! imagine 3+hours stuck in a rush hour traffic to travel only 40kms 9.1kms/L consumption ko, pero pag puro short distance travel at puro subdivision ako (hatid sundo sa mga kids 4kms only) Fc ko bagsak sa 5-7kms/L

hi jpabuel2003 ask ko lang ano ride mo,have you tried computing your fc manually,hindi kasi accurate yun nasa cluster may difference na 1liter

KIA RIO 2012 EX manual, 6speed, sedan. yes sir my computations are all manual, yung sa inst. cluster minsan kasi 1.5L pa difference eh. yung instant fuel consumption lang ang lagi kong tinitingan, binago ko driving habits ko, before shifting ko 1-1.5k sa tach pero di sya economical, i learned that shifting 2k-2.5k gives me the best FC. lagi pa kami magkasama ni misis sa byahe kya not bad ang 9.1kms/L.

Nagemail ako sa Kia.com mismo.. so sa tingin ko umabot to sa Korea.. After few days, tumawag yung Tech Manager ng CAC sa akin.. Sabi niya willing sila samahan ako kapag magpapaFC test ako.. So if ever magkikita kami sa Kia Global City to do the testing. Hindi ko lang alam kung kelan pa ako pwede.

ECU update for Hatch = Wala kasi bago pa lumabas sa dealer yung unit.. latest version na daw nakalagay

As for the gas type, no choice talaga kundi mag 97 octane or higher tayo para hindi mag engine knock. Yan ang sabi sa akin. Over rated kasi yung gas natin dito.

Still observing my FC, kaka1st PMS ko lang kasi nung Monday.


Please indicate kung ano ride niyo kapag nagsasabi ng FC kasi nakakalito... Salamat

Ang sama pa rin ng FC ng Rio owners ah. Kahit pa sabihing break-in period, hindi naman sobrang laki ng iniimprove ng FC after 10000 KM. Even if you guys steadily get 8 km/L in the city, that's still bad for a 1.4L subcompact (na hindi naman kalakasan ang makina). Hopefully hindi talaga ganyan yung Rio and may fix para diyan. Sayang naman eh.

[PsychoMp3]

so far am monitoring this forum to see if there is a fuel efficiency improvement, the car is nice feature set and all but if the FC is even worse then my 98 RAV4 4x4 that's wouldn't be good at all. I did a re-test for 1 month of my RAV's FC, it's currently hitting 6.7 to 8KM/L city driving.

To all kia Rio Hatchback owners. Na-try nyo na ba ireport itong fc problem sa mismong mga Kia branches na pinagkunan ng sasakyan nyo? Or magask to any Kia engineers? I think yun ang saktong ginawa ni Mr. Cyberian. I really hope maging okay na fc ng Rio. Sobrang nkakapanghinayang kung hindi magimprove. Ganda ng features compare sa mga counter-part na sasakyan.

hi ive done this already and they are still assesing daw kasi baka mamya sakin lang daw may ganitong problem ISOLATED lang daw ba,i told them to visit this site kasi yun mga buyer ng mga new car dito muna kumunsulta bago bumili,i even called COLUMBIAN MOTORS maybe yun mga owner dito ng rio5 need to call this number and sabihin nyo na pare-pareho tayo ng problem sa fc so they will do something about it,heres the number look for arnel technician yan ng kia philippines 3105843 para gawan na nila ng paraan at tawagan ang mga KOREANO

Sinabi ko one time sa SA ko kasi nagtatanong ng referrals. Sabi ko wala, hirap magrecommend ng sasakyan ng malakas sa gas eh. Tas nagulat siya, sabi sa akin yun iba daw na kumuha sa kanila sabi matipid DAW

Tas sabi ng SA ko, try daw petron kasi matipid daw, alam ko malabo ito but i gave her the benefit of the doubt.

Then sinubukan ko xcs, ganun din naman hahaha! :twak:

Pansin ko kasi sa engine, pag binitawan ko yun accelerator, hindi agad bumababa yun rpm. Hindi katulad ng iba, napagbitaw baba agad tas pagtapak mo tataas ulit.

Sinubukas ko sa iba namin sasakyan.. lets say travelling 80 kms * 2.5k rpm, pagbinitawan ko yun gas pedal, yun rpm bumababa ng 1k lang or less than pa nga eh. Sa rio kasi if travelling 80 kms * same rpm, pagbitaw ng gas pedal, magstay talaga yun rpm dun. So pag downhill yun kalsada, mataas parin rpm kahit hindi mo na tapak ang accelerator.

Pero hindi ko alam kung ito nga isa sa cause ng high fc ng rio. Observation ko lang sa engine ito

Sir c_cube, ask ko lang if this is functioning with lights or just a reflector?
If yes, where did you buy it?

Thanks!

Reflector lang yan. parehas lang din yan sa nakakabit sa stock na HB. Pero may provision na nakahanda kung gusto mo lagyan ng bulb.

kumuha ako ng extra dahil gusto ko talaga halogen na 21W gamitin na bulb sa loob. Pero si Gary (hidretrofit.net) LED lang daw meron.
