Kia already delivers a large part of the sports equipment already ordered with the new facelifting. Front apron with headlights, rear lights, all models now have a double exhaust. Radio always belongs to series, including AUX and USB connection in front of the middle armrest. The Kia dealers are surprised here to lande itself. In Austria ( www.kia.at ) the model is already offered for sale. Greeting

I may be interested in a sportage (140 hp diesel with particulate filter), not Eu-Import. Is current experience available, how much discount are so feasible with German dealers and how long are the delivery times at the moment?

a good friend of mine without an Internet connection (yes, there is still such a thing) has a motor damage on his Sorento Bj 02, piston eater. He doesn’t know what exactly the cause is. Instead of a replacement engine he thinks about a repair. Does someone know a good engine repairer in the Black Forest ? as far as possible in the area OG, FDS, RW, VS, EM or FR. Do such engine damage occur more often at nem Sorento ? He is already disappointed that something like this happens at just 100,000 km.

Hi, joa, the thread title actually says quite clearly. I would like to know if you should upgrade cars directly to LPG, prefer to drive on gasoline, or if you can switch to LPG right away. Since it is factory new and is converted immediately that would be quite good to know…

Hi, I drove again with my father’s KIA Sportage (Bj.:1995, DOHC engine with 85hp?!) and had to find out that the power steering is no longer working. If you try to steer it, then it is very difficult… and now and then the steering wheel twitches something, as if it were working again. Furthermore, it seems to me that the sound of the servo pump is no longer heard. Well, then I have seen if a fuse is defective somewhere. All in all. Then ha b i once opened the container with the servo fluid I checked if there is anything right there anyway. Conclusion: the liquid is there… only it is bad luck-black ;-)… as far as I know it should actually be red or? Can you release the servo fluid yourself or do I have to put it in the workshop? Is there an exhaust screw? How is it best to do this? And which servo fluid do I need for this? Is there anything else special to consider? What would a new e Servo pump cost? Thanks for your help. mfg Schoash

All those who intend to buy a Kia Sorento Diesel should read through my experiences. I bought a new Kia Sorento Diesel ex in July 2004. Since there were delivery times of 12-13 months in Germany, I bought an EU car. In the first 2 years, everything was ok and I drove the car enthusiastically. Unfortunately, there was a drop of wormwood that I was absolutely not satisfied with the workshops in my region. (House and yard workshop ) Nevertheless, we were proud to have such a nice car and to drive. In September 2006, the drama started. After a water pump damage on the highway I was towed to a Kia workshop and it was repaired. For safety reasons, the cylinder head was changed immediately, because it was not clear how much the engine was overheated. Waiting 12 days since it had to be delivered from Korea. Then the problems started. After various and never-ending repeats, I set f the car a water loss. The factory satt told me to empty water after what I did. In September 2007 came the big bang. The turbocharger flatten me on the highway. Be at this time, the Kia stands in the workshop. Sage and write 6 months!!!!! Why? I had a court review done, because the source of error was not quite clear and Kia Germany (which according to EU law ) is responsible, not interested in it. in Dec. 2007, a material error detected at the cylinder head, so that water has penetrated into the engine. Result : Total technical damage !!! I first of all was of the opinion that the damage of Kia will be regulated but Pustekuchen. The legal department of Kia, has not recognized the legal opinion and has commissioned the Dekra to examine the court opinion. This has not yet happened. I have already driven some car marks but at none I was so close I didn’t get a car or anything else. I had to pay for rental cars and everything so far, myself. I don’t know how the whole thing ends. I just wanted to warn you and tell you that you are anything but a customer at Kia !!! Will keep you informed if you are interested.

moin, my father-in-law thinks about buying a new car, now he had looked at a sorento. after the inspection he was completely excited about the – according to the salesman – the engine should come from daimler chrysler, and the landing gear comes from the prosche cayenne. all these occasions I defused naturally immediately, how does it come to soche ideas? is anything true? never, right? that the engine comes from any joint venture can I’d imagine that under circumstances, but that with suspension is totally bullshit. I mean, at least. mfg florian
