Hey everyone, does anyone know if this generation of Optima is still reliable after the motor recall? I had my engine for free under the P1326 recall back in 2018 at about 120,000 km. The cars at just a little over 200,000 km now so approx 80,000 km on the new motor. My local Kia says that they...

heard that the engine recalls mostly affects US built rather than both korean and american manufactured Kias. is that true?

My back passenger side window is not rolling up or down. For a little while the driver control switch would only roll it down, but the passenger would be able to roll it back up. Now neither is responding. Any ideas on where to start? Motor, I’m guessing? I believe I’m out of warranty for...

Hey guys. I recently got into a 2019 Sportage EX from a Charger R/T, and needless to say, I am missing a little get up and go in the new ride. Not looking to really tune the Sportage out, I am just looking for a little more pickup for stepping out on the freeway or turning onto a busy road...

Hey guys, my drivers side mirror won’t stop running, even with the car off. It sounds like it keeps trying to move the mirror. I got help from here with replacing the mirror and thought that would work, but it didn’t. I tried replacing the fuse to no avail. Anyone have any idea how to fix this...

Hey guys! This is a kind of double question, my 2013 Kia Optima's wipers aren't working, I'm thinking the motor's gone but before completely writing it off I wanted to get under the cover and inspect the motor, has anyone ever taken the cover over the motor off? If so, can anyone link a...

Now that they replaced my motor, how do I keep the car from coking the valves? I did do the valve cleaning on the old motor but after 90k miles they were terrible. I have a a 2.4 theta ii motor, i do have an OCC installed with a inline water/oil air seperator for a diesel routed to intake side...

Hey guys, looking for some quick feedback. Would prefer not to take my car to the dealer. I have a 2013 EX, just a few days ago when turning on the wipers, they SLOOWWWWLY go up, then proceed to get stuck and the only way for me to get them back to a "closed" position is to help give them a push...

One of the first mods many turbo'd platforms go to are motor mounts and we seem to have available. I have filled my stock mounts with 3M Windo-Weld with fair success on other cars, considering doing this to keep the poor engine in place on my Optima. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I am a big fan of Amsoil and used it for over 25 years now on every vehicle I own. I am a proud owner of a 14 Optima 2.0 turbo. My first oil change I used 5w-30 (signature series). I would prefer to go with a 5w-40 but they don't make it in the sig series but do make a 0w-40. Is the 0w-40...

Any ideas for more horse power on the stock motor, that is inexpensive, on 2013 optima?

Why is this part number so expensive for such a small part? and where can I get one in the UK without going to the dealership? :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown: 816712T200

Since the builtin came out about the 2011-14 motors I figured i'd keep an eye on my 2012 LX a bit more often, if nothing else, for my own satisfaction. Lowdown: 2012 LX 2.4L with 49kmi on the odometer. Here are the current results: So far so good. I thought I've heard some knock at startup...

My 2014 SX-T is making a strange high-pitched hissing noise when the vent fan is on. With recirc on or off, the noise still persists. It's intermittent but occurs about 80% of the time the car is on. I had the dealer replace the blower motor, but it didn't help. Is there a second fan, maybe an...
