Hi
Bought my Magentis 4 months ago. Noticed that over small bumps and at low speeds the front suspension knocks. Had the front struts changed by Kia in Worcester, however it still keeps on knocking. Almost given up with embarrasment going back to dealer so many times.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Also had all 4 alloyts changed as all the laquer started peeling off on the back edges. Also had a new front grill as the chrome started bubbling. Gee wizz. Beggining to regret this purchase. Came out of a Ford 2.5 V6 thet never missed a beat in 10 years.
Also if i go through the rev range and accelorate hard the engine seems to growl at my right foot. Like it dousn't like it very much.
Apperantly you can have this car re-mapped for £180. Gives you an extra 20bhp. At the moment struggling with this suspension business so not willing to spend any money on it in case i'm forced to sell it on. Such ashame as it's quite a good car for the money. Nice to hear from others if you have any comments to make. (PULLING HAIR OUT NOW)
