I'm sure owners of these will be pleased to hear there has been a service action released which involves replacing the drive belt tensioner and a re torque of the crankshaft pulley.

Its important to note this is a service action and not a recall so you may have to get in touch with your dealer to request its carried out.

Please dont PM me about this, I cannot supply any more information as Kia TSB's are restricted and cannot be discussed outside of the dealer networks.

Hi I have been having issues with my gt line s. I am experiencing what seems like a kind of clutch slip from 2nd to 3rd. Also I can hear what I can only describe as secondary engine rattle ie a tappet kind of noise towards top end revs. Could any of what I’ve described be down to what you’ve mentioned. Would really appreciate you opinion tia.

No, doesn't sound like this issue at all. Is it manual or DCT?

Hello @kiamech , thank you for the update. This is indeed good news.

Do you happen to know if the 2019 1.6 136hp hybrid had a chain or belt? I've been told in the service that I have a chain. Is this correct?

Thank you in advance.

Both KCS and my local dealer have informed me that there is no such outstanding action in respect of my VIN number, so I can only assume that the problem is confined to a particular batch of engines, or that mine was rectified when they mysteriously kept the car for 2 days to replace the forward looking camera, and they didn't inform me.
