Kia Stonic

The small crossover on the Rio's platform — so Rio information covers the powertrain and the Stonic-specific part is the raised body and its suspension geometry. Front-wheel drive only, with no four-wheel-drive option at all, which removes a whole branch of the diagnosis before it starts. The 1.0 turbo GDi three-cylinder with the 48-volt mild hybrid is the version worth separating: its belt-driven starter-generator puts supply-voltage and stop-start codes on an otherwise ordinary supermini.

Service information

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
