  1. It supposed to be changed at 80k km or before 100k km. If you touched that km, get that change.

    If in doubt check with dealer if they have record, if no record found and its more than 100k kms better get it change than not. As timing belt failure becomes very expensive and in some cases you need to buy new engine. So these couple of thousand is better than that much money and hassle.

  2. Steering oil also known as PSF (Power Steering Fluid) usually need a top up after sometime. Change is required in major service of 40k kms.

    Check the level and top up to see if it helps, then change the whole fluid. If still same that means your steering pump must be dying.

  3. You can try in deira opp hyatt there is big car accessory market and good companies selling many kia stuff. Take a round and im sure you will be very happy. Careful, parking is killer and pavement stepping gets you instant fine. So be patient and park properly around.

  4. Actually fans come MUCH ABOVE radiator. And in fan there are two fans in your car: engine (clutch) fan and AC fan.

    AC fan works on electric as soon as you switch AC on it supposed to start to cool engine from extra load of AC.

    Engine fan works with belt, that is running on slow speed due to viscose clutch in the fan. When car overheat little bit this fan supposed to work on high speed and bring the temperature down. For checking this when u pick your car in morning and when its cold for first 5 or 10 seconds engine fan shud run on high speed and make big noise as a self check, same as all lights in dash appear for 5 secs on first start and then dissapear. If its doing that, that mans fan is fine and you need to look somewhere else.

    Ask your mechanic to change the clutch of fan and not whole fan it will save a lot. As viscose clutch is the main culprit here which gets failed due to age, nothing else.

  5. There must be some air lock build up in the radiator. Open the radiator cap and drive the car and keep adding coolant until it fills and leave the cap open for 10 good minutes, this shud flush out few time air bubble and release the air from engine jacket that sometimes causes hesitation.
