I bought mine in 2022. 79,000 miles on the clock. 64 plate. Cost £5000 and its been perfect. His that a ratchet or a hammer. No wonder the cars knakked.
I noticed on my 2012 Kia PICANTO car, acceleration cuts and vibrations when I drive on 3 or 4! after several checks with a mechanic, he discovered that the fault comes from the PCV valve!!! the spring was stuck!! it is a small plastic part integrated into the exhaust gas recycling circuit
I disagree. There is no shaking these engines are quite well balanced. They also shouldn’t rattle, the older ones did like the old Corsas they were very loud, this Picanto engines are meant to be quiet, and they are, usually.
Those Halfords 3/8 ratchets are well known for breaking, lifetime guarantee, so they will replace them for free if you take it in store. Sometimes get them say guarantee doesn't cover moving parts but just try another store. Disappointing on the engine, first sound clip thought it sounded bad.
Well that's probably why your timing chain is knackering up.... Kia spec 5w20 on API SM certification. What you put in was 5w30 using API SL/CF certification.
My picanto sounds quite rough on idle i have never not known it to be anything else for the 4 years I've had it well except when I press the a/c button then it really rumbles in to life and shakes lol
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽 I'm at my first KIA PICANTO. I want to know how to adjust the clutch pedal when you sometimes have difficulty moving the gear. And also if I want to test the air conditioning engine. 😅I know I ask a lot...but if you have a link 😏
Kia .. My sons got 3 .. never had a problem with any .. Now I've got a 20 year old Nissan Micra K11 .. 78K .. never gave me a problem either .. but wanted to get a new Kia .. now I don't know //
The take the plugs out it’s just a normal deep socket, can’t remember the size it’s either 13 or 19mm. (Probably 19) and an extension bar and ratchet. Mine are from Halfords. The car is 2013.
@@moonar5820 No i wouldn't touch those crap heaps. The Kia's for the Japanese market are built in Japan thought. The Mazda 2 is a very good car, heard great things about it.
@@taichihead42 Kia and Hyundai after like 2010 are different. But then it also depends if they were actually built in korea or locally assembled CBU VS CKD, I have a Accord and a Picanto. Both are CBU and both seems great been using the picanto for the past 8 years, and accord roughly 10 (Was handed to me). I mean they arent as bad as they were during the early 2000's but I'd still pick a Toyota or Honda over them if I found a good deal. So I am just wondering why you hated Kia's and Hyundai so much? You owned one?
@@smokegames1179 picanto is very good car we had one before but change it for another auto car since that was manual the engine is quiet and very cold ac

Thanks for the video. Look like you have halfords advanced tool kit they are guaranteed for life. You should be able to replace them for free.
The rattle is normal as 3 cylinder engines are usually loud and out of balance, hence the plenty of shaking.
I disagree. There is no shaking these engines are quite well balanced. They also shouldn’t rattle, the older ones did like the old Corsas they were very loud, this Picanto engines are meant to be quiet, and they are, usually.
@@RSPYT both of my mechanic contacs with decades behind them say, that this i how theese engines sound
@@RSPYT I agree
Most of the ones I’ve come across don’t sounds anything like my one, so those ones that are quiet must be broken then? And my one isn’t?
Hi there did u fixed rattle noise?have the same in mine checked with OBD scan tool timing is at perfect 0 degres should I be worried?
Mine sounds the same, was wondering if it had an issue but I’ve been told so many times it’s ok 😅
I clicked on video... Went and made a coffee came back and thought I was watching wheeler dealers... You certainly know you way around a engine👍
Haha thanks :) many years of playing with them lol

I’ve been meaning to take it back, one of those things on the list lmao
Use a funnel instead of pouring some of it over that spectacular clean engine.
Well that's probably why your timing chain is knackering up.... Kia spec 5w20 on API SM certification. What you put in was 5w30 using API SL/CF certification.
That’s what the manual specs 🤷🏻♂️
@@RSPYT I got mine from the website... well if Kia don't know, how are we meant to!?
Exactly lol 5w30 is fine I’m sure
My picanto sounds quite rough on idle i have never not known it to be anything else for the 4 years I've had it well except when I press the a/c button then it really rumbles in to life and shakes lol
Haha mate it shouldn’t be rough, my one is smooth, just rattly ;(

Good work, but putting new spark plugs back Where is oily is bad , fix ur top gasket

Good job my friend,i have one question...could you show the filler plug in transmission pls.
I can’t do that right now but I will do in the next service, but by then you’ll be gone I suppose lol.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽

Hmmm. Did you check the spark plug gap settings off camera.. bet you did..
Nah didn’t bother lol
Good job bro..can you tell me what type of the sparks and the oil filter?
Kia .. My sons got 3 .. never had a problem with any .. Now I've got a 20 year old Nissan Micra K11 .. 78K .. never gave me a problem either .. but wanted to get a new Kia .. now I don't know //
This one is 10 years old, I’m not 100% sure but I believe they changed the engines in the new ones so this problem doesn’t happen.
Why did he buy 3 so
Its frikked mate.
Tell me about it :D
Oil leak on the gasket. TIME TO GIVE UP AND GET RID.
Theres more dust on the engine then the air filter he took out.
That's what happens when you work in a quarry Lol.
Where did you get the tool from to take the spark plugs out ? And what year is the car ? Thanks
The take the plugs out it’s just a normal deep socket, can’t remember the size it’s either 13 or 19mm. (Probably 19) and an extension bar and ratchet. Mine are from Halfords.
The car is 2013.
I also hear same rattles in my engine, car is 21k kms friven only,
What is the issue? Why it does that?
- Spend Your Time And Not Your Money - th-cam.com/users/CarGuruDIY
Timing chain or the crankshaft.
Timing chain malfunction.
Turned out to be a rat in it.
Whats wrong wi kids they talking more sense then you do. At least the planes running above.
Let this be a lesson to all of you, stay away from Kia and Hyundai. Absolute rubbish.
Did someone rip you off with a bad one?
