Hi everyone. My name is Garry Vervoren and I found this website looking for issues with our Kia. Found the solution right away. We have a 2012 Optima GDI. Its just a base model but we are pretty happy with it. I don't know much about them but hoping to learn more from here.

Installed Catch Can in a 2012 KOH I picked up the Mishimoto Baffled Catch Can for my 2012 KOH. Trying to find a spot to attach it too is a pain. So I'm thinking of attaching it to the back wall of the engine bay. There is actually bolts that comes out from the wall that has one of those...

Hello, On my old Maxima about once a year I hosed down the engine bay to try to keep it clean. Can I do this in my Optima? I have an 2011 Rio and the bay is getting very dirty looks like it needs a tire brush with soap and water. Is this okay for Kia's? I like my car clean inside and out...

Hey everyone, I have had my 2006 GMC Sierra since it had 4 miles on it. Now it has 100k. I recently got a new job with a nice long commute so I decided to get a car. Most cars are ugly - especially "commuter" cars. The only car I actually like/loved was the Optima. I bought a 2012 LX with with...

Hi all, A few projects pulled together today. I picked up my engine cover and my Ultra Racing Strut Tower brace. I also received the retaining clip I needed to install my HKS SSQL IV BOV. Here's what it looks like all put together: I'm very happy with how it all came out. =) Other than...

Purchased a 2013 black SXL last night. Set out to get the EX with premium and tech but it wasn't much more of a payment to get the turbo so I figured, "Why not?". I have only driven V8s and BMWs so this is a new world to me. This will be my commuter car. I don't plan on modifying it much...

Any one have a wiring diagram or know what this fuse powers? I know that my brake lights work, but seem to have no other power in the car. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

With all the cars I've owned I have never cleaned the engine bay. If anything, I would vacuum some of the dust from time to time. Why? I've always been told it is bad idea, will void warranty, cause electrical problems, pointless, etc. However, since I bought this car new, I want to keep the...

I've been lurking for a couple weeks learning about the car so I just want to say thanks for all the info here. It definitely helped me with my purchase of a '13 Titanium Silver SX with the Premium Touring package. We came close to picking up an Accord, but I'm so glad that didn't work out. This...
