sHy3r 4th Gear November 17, 2020 Share November 17, 2020 (edited) I am 2nd owner of Optima K5 (2013). Since taking care of this Optima, I have always been to C&C for servicing and changing of parts. So far I changed since bought over this 2013 baby: - Air con compressor and Condenser (Claim warranty) - Car battery X2 (1 in 2018 and 1 in 2020) - Alternator and Pulley Collant pump (Claim warranty) + Ribbed Belt-V - Side mirror motor - Rear Brake Pad - Original HID Bulb - Radiator Upper and Lower Hose - Front Stabilizer Bar Link (Left Hand and Right Hand) - Front Stabilizer Bar Bush - Front Brake pad and Brake Disc Rotor - Crankshaft Positioning Sensor - Aircon Actuator - Temperature Door - EPB Switch - Right Hand Front Door Latch and Actuator - Petrol and Rear Boot Switch - Engine Mounting Taking good care of this baby, gives me dilemma on whether to let this baby go when it reach 10th year in 2.5 years time. 😞 Edited November 17, 2020 by sHy3r Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonong Clutched November 22, 2020 Author Share November 22, 2020 Hi there. I was told my headlights original are not HIDs when one of the bulb fuse recently. Weird. I tot they all are HIDs. what’s an EPB switch ? for me I feel the car is too much of a drinker to keep. It’s a nice car with huge space in the seats and boot. Especially good for long distance drive too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2013 K5 dont have handbrake.. but it comes with electronic hand brake... similar to what current KIA GT line has... the cabin size is big... hard to find another car with big cabin size.... maybe Sportage? Sorento? Stinger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
