Hi guys been out of warranty for 3 month and already 1500$ in.
Got a forte koup sx 2014 with 100k km (60k miles)
First the fuel pump went out 2 months out of warranty at 95k (my car is 5 year 2 months old at this point). Cost me 870$ to replace
The engine died again yesterday on me while driving. Check engine was flashing and had the car towed to Kia.
4 new sparks plug and 450$ after they find the problem with cylinder 3 fuel injector.
The engine is having multiple misfire code (Kia Forte P0303: Cylinder 3) also P0300 KIA - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
They wanted another 700$ to remove carbon buildup, new fuel injector on cylinder, new gasket , new high pressure fuel line.
The car at the moment run on 3 cylinders and is shaking like crazy on idle and after 40mph the shaking is not bad.
Now the rate of stealership is way to high and I know my way a little around engine so I think I can replace my injector by myself (Shouldn't be more complicated than changing spark plug).
Have anyone ever changed their own fuel injector here?
Part for fuel injector is 353102B120. Should I change only one or all of them at the same time?
Also is aftermarket injector OK? 50% of the price of OEM.
Some tips would appreciated on maintenance because I'm starting to go crazy. my car is worth 11k and I'm near 2k repair in 2 months...
