A buddy of mine had Kline exhaust on his F12 and now has it on his 812. These vehicles do not need intricate exhaust systems to provide a powerful sound.

manufactures exceptional V12 items for the F12, 812, and GTC4 models. Strongly recommended!

Commence by recalibrating the window action.

There may be a loose wire, resulting in insufficient power to the starter. Is your battery just defective?

I consulted the service manager at the dealership, who said that the manual's recommendations pertain to relieving pressure to facilitate the unobstructed flow of oil and provide a more precise measurement of the oil level. Removing and replacing the oil filler cap is a straightforward task, therefore I will continue to monitor it in that manner. To my recollection, the instructions for previous iterations of the Soul did not instruct the removal of the cap prior to assessing the oil level, suggesting a potential alteration in the engine's architecture.

The handbook instructs to use the engine until it attains "normal operating temperature" and thereafter allow the oil to settle for 15 minutes prior to assessing the oil level. The guidelines pertain to a minimum of a heated engine.

It is incomprehensible to me as well, except maybe as a means of alleviating strain. It is advisable to remove the oil filler cap for 15 minutes after engine operation prior to assessing the oil level.

The dipstick indicates the oil level, indeed. The handbook instructs to verify the oil level subsequent to the removal of the oil filler cap (section 8-15; page 427): https://www.kiatechinfo.com/files/328/6909/2025 Soul.pdf

I just purchased a 2025 Soul LX and opted to inspect the oil right away for precautionary measures. The handbook instructs to remove the oil filler cap prior to checking the oil, which seems peculiar, but I complied. I secured the oil filler lid until it emitted a single click. Is this accurate? The handbook does not provide the appropriate torque for the oil filler cap, and the cap just has an arrow indicating the direction for loosening.

It is possible. This point is becoming tiresome. The left body damper was frozen and deformed. The right was satisfactory. Removed both. No alteration. There seem to be several discussions on front-end clunks. I will continue to replace components till I identify the solution. The front differential has many questionable bushings; nonetheless, they do not display significant play, but braking may cause the differential to shift somewhat. They seem almost hard to extract from the vehicle.

Indeed, both upper and lower components. The uppers were quite constricted, but the ball joint exhibited looseness. No genuine engagement, only laxity. The lowers were all substandard. The bushings were fractured, and the ball joint exhibited significant play. I have only been changing components on the left side. I own the correct components for the right side, but I have been concentrating on this peculiar hammering sound. The damaged strut likely resolved the shaking, since it must have been defective. I have not removed the airbag for inspection, but I suspect that the airbag was functioning as the shock absorber.

Intriguing. A search reveals a Technical Service Bulletin about these dampers, applicable just to ACE vehicles. I will likely remove it to assess its impact. This evokes memories of my former Bavaria BMW from my childhood. Replaced the driveline and differential to identify that the noise was from a $20 front wheel bearing.

Perhaps someone has encountered this situation. I have been delving deeply into my 06 sport sans ACE. Background information. Initiated with a rattling noise and an unstable steering wheel when applying little brake pressure. Replaced rotors produce same noise. Replaced control arms; noise persists. Both arms exhibited characteristic deterioration and loose ball joints. Replaced strut assembly; instability ceased when braking. The noise persists. It seems like an individual is using a hammer. This occurs only with little braking pressure. Caliper pins are effective. The sway bar bushings are rigid. The rack and pinion seems to be constricted. The sound seems to be in close proximity to my left foot. I saw a peculiar body strut when I removed the plastic tire cover and was interested if anybody had experienced a failure of that body strut. It was somewhat loose, although I was unable to produce a knocking sound when manipulating it; yet, that is precisely where the noise appears to originate. I may just eliminate it for a test drive. What is its purpose, anyway? Does the body oscillate enough from the frame to need a shock absorber? I have seen someone substituting the steering rod for the rack. Mine seems constricted without any significant free movement. Any insights would be appreciated.

I sequentially test drove the premium Ioniq 5, EV6, EV9, ID.4, and the Highland Model 3 LR. Entirely within a month. Tesla fulfilled all my criteria. It was $6,000 cheaper and has more functionality. I find the uncluttered cabin more soothing, as is the driving experience itself. It seems robust and durable. It resembles a tablet on wheels more than an electric vehicle. It is straightforward and effective, and the technology enhances my driving skills. Therefore, I consider Tesla to be the optimal selection for an electric vehicle.
