parehas lang yan ng nakakabit sa HB. wala pang bulb pero meron abang na bubutasan para lagyan ng bulb. wala din switch na kasama pero hinahanap ko pa kung makukuha ko yun part number ng OEM switch ng rear fog. tagal ko ng hinahanap pero wala talaga akong makita sa net nun OEM switch ng rear fog

Nag order lang ako ng isa para may extra ako kung sakaling pumalpak yun paglagay ng bulb. BTW sa US ko pina order yan pero tingin ko meron naman dito, hindi lang ako nagtanong hahaha!

balak ko kasi pagkabit may hiwalay na switch pero yun switch sa park light parin nakatap, so pag hindi ON ang park light kahit may seperate switch yun rear fog, hindi parin iilaw.

thanks c_cube kung sa US mo yan binili sana pinili mo yun meron na bulb na kasama....meron ba nun? para di mo na butasan.kasi nun sa toyota corolla ko yun love life na model ng masira yun rear light assembly ko sa driver side. bumili ako ng bago sa casa may nakalagay na na rear fog kaya ng sinalpak ko sya pag on ng park light on na din sya. kaya baka may abang na din yan na linyafor rear fog light

Nakasakay utol ko kanina sa hatch.. Nakwento ko sa kanya yung problema natin... sabi niya 2 possible cause ng kung bakit lumalaklak ng gas auto natin..

1. Malakas sa gas sa idling
or
2. Design ng aircon if tama hula ng utol ko sa design. Ang concept niya is radiator controlled yung temp, meaning 100% tumatakbo yung compressor, ang nagpapataas lang ng temp ng aircon natin is yung init na gaming sa radiator.. Kasi sa Korea naman daw rare sila gumamit ng AC, usually Heater gamit nila or off yung AC tapos Fresh Air.. bottom line is madalas nakapatay ang compressor ng kotse sa Korea which is totally opposite sa Pinas haha

Hindi ba mavoid warranty ng hatch mo?

Also, yung conduction sticker mo ba talagang yellow?

Ako na sasagot for c_cube, sir.

Re: warranty, most likely void ang electrical warranty niya. Pero magaling naman ata gumawa nung RFL, so ok yan. And yung overall warranty ng kotse hindi naman apektado unless yung sira ng isang part ay yung RFL ang culprit.

yellow na po talaga conduction sticker ng mga kotse ngayon.

*c_cube: May separate switch ka for the RFL? At kanino mo pinagawa?

Ah talaga? So new batch na hatch yan? White kasi yung akin.. Pero tinangal ko na kasi may plate na ako hehe

[timrev]

kaya nga...sa kia rio HB 1.4 lang kaya my problem sa FC? interisado din kasi kami sa rio 1.2 LX...

[jpabuel2003]

bakit kaya ang layo ng difference sa FC ng Sedan sa HB? same lang naman 1.4 engine, magkaiba ba sila ng ECU version?

Hindi dapat void ang warranty dahil nag tap lang ng wire sa park light. Kung mavovoid man ang warranty dapat mapatunayan ng casa na yun RFL nga ang dahilan kung bakt nagloko ang electrical system ng kotse. Afaik, basta wala kang pinuputol na wire, hind apektado warranty pero i might be wrong here.

*renzo - yup may seperate switch na nakatap sa park light. para kahit makalimutan ko patayin basta off park light, patay na din yun rfl. Kay maspro ko lang pinagawa. Dami na nilang nagawan ng ganyan dahil sa tucson na nagpapakabit ng oem RFL. Kaya more or less alam na nila gagawin kung paano ang pagtap sa wire.

2012 Kia Rio Consumer Review
2012 Kia Rio 1.6L 4-cyl. 6-speed Automatic Consumer Review - Terrible Gas Mileage in a

[cyberian]

Cyberian reporting for duty mga sir. Sorry for the long absence, got tired with my Kia Rio5 fc problem.

The 1st ECU trouble shoot to correct supposed a/c load didn't improve my fc yield of 5.5km/l ave and therefore a fail.

The 2nd ECU tweak to correct the supposed low voltage charge coming from the alternator resulting to inadequate electric voltage supply to the spark plug which will affect fuel burn, also failed as I am still having a horrible poor fc. The full tank yield after the said casa service is 5.35km/L!

I tried p500 worth of XCS fuel (9.2L) from empty on a City driving at night where traffic is bare minimum and the fc is 6.05KM/L. Compare that with my friends' city fc: 2012 hyundai Sonata 2.4L Premium ed. - 6km/l, or 2012 hyundai elantra 1.6 A/T - 14.7km/L, or Honda civic 1.8 A/T FD - 8km/l best, 6.5km/l worst, etc. and my Rio5 is really a shame to own fc wise.

During morning engine start and idle there is a lot of engine valve noise like diesel idling but only finer and more rapid but once engine temperature begin to rise to normal the valve noise disappears. However, during hot days or if the car is driven more than 15 minutes th engine somewhat losses power like driving with a 5 passengers plus cargoes on the trunk but in reality there is only 1 passenger plus driver. The engine growls a lot and low pick-ups during acceleration. I get scared when stock at traffic on uphills with full passenger loads because the car losses so much power that it will only creep it's way up until it gets momentum. Passengers got scared also and laughs afterwards. It's a complete embarassment!

I emailed my recent performance and fc feedbacks to my Kia SA as per request by tech service in-charge so he can forward it to CMC for yet again another fix solution. I also informed them that I may be forced to file a complaint with DTI or through legal remedy whichever is convenient should they fail to fix my dirt poor fc asap.

hi cyberian tagal mo nga nawala dito kala ko nga nabigyan ka na ng bagong sportage ng casa mo in exchage sa rio5 mo,anyway grabe na yan rio5 mo lalo yata napasama yun twice inayos yun ECU mo. better address your complain sa website ng kia international check the website kia.com then click contact us sa may banda ibaba sa kanan,about sa rio5 ko same pa din manual computation ko last fill up ko is 7.3km/liter lang iba sinasabi sa dashboard cluster ang reading eh 12.5km/100L. right now im experimenting try ko A/C auto climate at 23 degrees for a week then check FC.

Thanks for the info, i'll do that next week. So far, my local Kia service and SA is very accommodating and appear quite serious in attending to my concerns but unfortunately CMC recommended fixes and suggestions just didn't work... yet. I'll give them time to reply and come out with a solution/fix.

Your 7.3km/L is already a dream for me having an ave. of only 5.5km/L city drive although performance wise it is still not so good fc coming from a small 1.4L sub-compact car.

I wonder how the Rio5 performs on a Petron Blaze 100 octane. Too bad it's not available here in Cagayan de Oro city.

[chua_allan]

Whoa... matindi na to pag umabot pa sa legal matters..

[mikmik316]

Reporting my recent FC:

38.6 liters of Total Protec
Eco Off
3 light traffuc days due to holidays, travelling at 30 km/h minimum
271 kilometers travelled
FC = 7.02 km / liter

I am just pass 1,100 km odo and given example above by cyberian. Really shameful FC for the Rio HB. tsk tsk
