8th digit of the vin is the engine code.

It is in the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) located by your inspection sticker in the windshiled, it is a little riveted plate on the corner of the dash below the windshield and in the corner - can only be viewed from outside. The engine code is a particular digit, it's the 8th digit on your VIN. If you call any parts store or the dealer they can tell you what engine is in your vehicle by that digit. They can also give you a spare key (at a price) if you ever lose your key, only need identification, your registration and usually 50. to $200 if you have a chip in your key. Just saying... Go to this website I found through a google search and enter your VIN (which is also on the Registration) and this site says it will give you info on your car. http://www.vindecoder.net/car-brand-manufacturer/kia Good luck, hope this helps East Coast Canada Rocks :)

In my experience, car forums are the best place to ask such questions except for trained mechanics. Try this: http://www.kia-forums.com/do-yourself/33370-all-kia-trouble-codes.html

-what engine? -what error code? -under what conditions does it happen? -how many miles on vehicle? my car is broken, how do I fix it.....

it's either coming in from a bad trunk weather strip gasket or it could be coming in from the tail lights. You need to strip everything out of the trunk, get in the trunk close the trunk and have someone outside with a garden hose and let the water flow on the roof towards the trunk and you will need to see where it is coming from. once the leak is found you either need to change the weatherstrip or use an RTV or body seam sealer to stop the water from coming in.

If you smell gas in your engine oil, it can be a sign of a number of problems.The problem can be caused by cold weather preventing the excess fuel to not be burned.Engine problems will need to be diagnosed by a mechanic. The one quick fix you can do until then when you smell gas in your engine oil is to change the oil right away.

If it is the thermostat the engine will overheat fast because the hot water can't be exchanged for cooler water. If its the heater core that means that the heater core is leaking, you will loose coolant and then the engine will overheat. Some times in cold weather just being low on coolant can make the heater not work. Check the radiator coolant level while the engine is cool. Start the engine and let it warm up to normal operating temp. make sure the radiator is full, check your heater to see if heat is coming out. If not then you should look into other heater control function. Hope this helped you. Remember survey's are what keep us here for you.
