Kia rio steering wheel is locked and won't turn
Okay, I just had this same problem with my 2009 Kia Rio and I did this. So not to down everyone's post on here -- everyone is correct -- by turning the steering wheel back and forth and turning the ignition key at the same time is a correct method. However, after talking to a Kia Serviceman, he told me you have to do it hard -- meaning turning it violently back and forth hard (madman style). In order to do this operation, I had my wife sit in the driver side and turn the key while I was on her left side grabbing the steering wheel and violent moving it back and forth like a madman, and after about 2mins of doing it the key turned over -- problem fixed. Do not worry about breaking anything; turning the steering wheel violently hard is a must -- this was told to me by a Kia service Rep. Remember -- have someone assist you; either turning the key or violently turning the steering wheel back and forth. Hope this works for you!!!!!

I was told i need a valve replaced for my 1999 lexus gs300 . What is the going rate for this service? The mechanic quoted $1800. Does this sound accurate? I'm just afraid to be bamboozled by a
There could be a number of things causing the problem you have.The best way to find out if you have a bad valve is to have a compression check done. If there is a bad valve it will show up. There is other things that could fail the compression check. But 99% of the time it points to a valve and most often, the intake valve. The price sounds high, but if it is a valve, the cylinder head has to be removed and reworked which takes a lot of special tools, plus everything that has to be removed before you can remove the cyl. head. The intake manifold, exhaust manifold ect. So there is a lot of labor involved. You have to decide about the price. One thing i would do tho, I would have a compression ckeck done First. If it passes, it is not a valve problem. airboat233
