Hi all, I think there is another thread in here regarding this but can't find it. I wanted to share what I found out. I had mine in for steering issues-see steering thread for that-and I raised concern about the turbo noise at start-up- colder making it worse. The dealer technician sent an inquiry dircetly to Kia and Kia said in response via e-mail . . . "Advice 1: Advice to Tech: yes, the noise is wastegate releated. Kia is currently investigating this concern. Check that everything is tight. The noise should only last for a very short time while the engine is warming up. Thanks."
Kia is aware and looking into it apparently. If you are concerned, get it logged at your dealer maybe? I brought it to the dealers attention because mine was in for steering issues already. Was told to sit tight until further notice. But the more Kia is made aware the more serious they will take the issue.
