1. I bought a 2008 kia Optima LX 2.7L V6 three weeks ago, with 36,544 miles on it. The second day I Had the car I Noticed a Slight Ticking coming from the engine compartment. I opened the hood and it seemed to come from the passanger side by the pully. I have had three mechanics look at it encluding the dealer I bought it from. They all stated that it was the fuel injector pulse the closing and opening of them releasing gas?? I have never heard this you?? And is it possible? Any suggestions?.
2. Mostly In the morning on take off my kia will buck shifting from second to third. An Abrupt early upshift is the best way to descride it any ideas??
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Kia Optima. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The clicking sound you hear could quite possibly be the fuel injectors but its hard to comment without hearing the noise first hand. The transmission issue I think I heard about "re-flash software" for the computer in your car. Kia as a car manufacturer put a lot of great technical information and work shop manuals on line for free for Kia owners. www.kiatechinfo.com
