Ik ben op dit moment bezig met vervangen distributie en spanrol. In de timing zat behoorlijke afwijking! Schat ongeveer 5 graden op de nokkenas. Nu bezig met spanrol, maar dat is blijkbaar geen automatische? Paar keer ronddraaien en dan aandraaien. Deze is niet na afmonteren nog zelfstellend ... toch?Mocht de auto na deze ingreep nog vreemd doen, dan ga ik niet naar KIA in Woerden maar kom zeker jouw kant op. Bij de KIA hier hadden ze alleen nog ervaring met de nieuwere auto's van KIA. Verder hebben ze al wel eens geholpen om de auto uit te lezen, maar gaf geen foutcodes. Lees meer...

Auto blijft vreemd lopen. Ik heb ontstekingstijdstip gecontroleerd en ik heb het idee dat daar iets mis is. Lijkt wel of de timing tussen kruk en nokkenas is verlopen? Kan dat door uitrekken of verspringen van de ditributie?Morgen ga ik dat maar eens loshalen. Weet iemand hoe de ontsteking hoort te staan? Wel of geen vacuum los en hoeveel graden BDP? Lees meer...

There’s a great head-to-head comparison test between the*2010 Kia Soul and 2010 Nissan Cube on the Youtube.*Both of the*“cubes” have just recently entered the US market and although I’m not sure how Cube has sold in it’s first full sales month, I know that Soul did a tremendous job.

According to several professionals here the first cat is known to brake up, and it's a very common problem on this engine.Normally the second cat does not brake, but there are always exceptions. Lees meer...

thanks a lot for your input. I think i will go to a second garage to check it once more as you suggest. However i think if the problem is true that i will fix it..besides who will buy it with a problem?or better at what price?I am not of this people that know how to cheat or would cheat even if i could.But truth is kia sorento at least the model i have is a quite problematic car. For sure I will never buy a kia again. Lees meer...

You have one chance:Go to an independent garage and let them do the APK.2 choices: don't tell them anything and see what they say about the quality of the exhaust gasses,or tell them the problem and get the readings from both the gas-test and the codes read from the car.With any luck the gasses will still pass the test and you can drive on for another year and sell the car.

i am sorry for not opening a new thread.I didnt know, and thank you very much for your reply. The engine light is on. I went to a garage changed the lambda sensor, and while i was not given the codes, (they said that they performed the reading) and* they physically inspected the catalysers. According to them they are both broken and they dont give me a new APK.I dont plan to own the car for more than 8 months as I will be leaving the country and for tax purposes i cant take it with me thus 2500 euros is a lot of money for me at least to put new catalysers. I found some sites with used cats that give guarantee but it is really hard to find some.Once more my apologies for posting in this thread and i will create a new one for any future use. Your help if possible would be very much appreciated for this issue, as i am New to this country and i dont have a garage which i really trust. Lees meer...

Excuse me for writing in english but my dutch is very limited as i havent been to netherlands for too long.I own a kia sorento as well 2003 (2.4l benzene), the check engine light (orange) is constantly on for a month now. I went to a garage and they told me that according to the reading they performed was the lamba sensor. After i changed it, the engine light continued to be on. They performed a second reading and they found that my both catalysers had a problem. They told me that they physically inspected the catalysers and they were both broken.Now after having paid already ~600 euros for inspection etc... they tell me that the new katalysators + the work would cost me at about 2500 euros! and till then i cant get a new APK. ( i was not given on paper my emissions or the code for the check engine light)I live in the netehrlands for about 10 months and i am planning to leave in about 8 months. For tax purposes i cant get the car with me so i plan to sell it thus 2500 euros is a large amount of money for me. Could maybe someone suggest some no name brand for catalyser or used car parts. I have found some sites which offer 3 years guarantee but availability for kia sorento is limited.My true apologies for posting in english as my dutch is at very basic level. any help would be absolutely appreciated.

another issue is that i dont have a garage that i really could trust as i havent used oneso far except for the regular check up of the car which did not have any problems so far. Lees meer...

Hello, Excuse me for writing in english but my dutch is very limited as i havent been to netherlands for too long.I won a kia sorento as well 2003, and the garage tells me both my cats are broken..the same as the first post i get the check engine light indication.For new katalysators the ask 2500 euros inc work. Does anyone know places to buy used ones?? thank you! Lees meer...

nikokons, next time please open a new topic of your own.Basically you get the same reply as the first poster.You need to spend some money to see if one or both of the cats are really broken.If the engine light (MIL) is on, then there's a fault code present. If you post the number(s) of these codes that helps.If you don't have them, get the codes read by a dealer or independent garage.You can also have a independent garage perform an exhaust gas test for you.Need to know the numbers for CO, CO2, HC, O2 and Lambda on idle and around 3000rpm.Are you planning on owning this car for a number of years to come or not?Used cats will brake up faster then new ones, the same goes for cheap imitation.

wat noem je een hele poos?het lijkt wel op een oververhitte katalysator en dat kan voorkomen dat er een injector continue staat in te spuiten,dit is een probleem waar je serieus naar moet kijken (kan vervelende gevolgen hebben)hoop dat je je probleem kunt oplossen.gr danny Lees meer...
