Weak places Kia Sorento (Kia Sorento) will help additives? What is the real engine resource on Kia Sorento Kia Sorento 2 4 engines problems

Hello.

So I had to go to Kiya Sorento four years ago. Namely from the 13th to 15 years old. Two and a half years and 50,000 ~ km.

I got behind the steering wheel of this wonderful car when the odometer showed 50000km, and got off exactly to 100000km. Such arithmetic. And so I decided to write the other feedback, although everything has been languishing about these Sorents for a long time.

So proceed. To compare at times I will be with the personal swarb S40 which I owned at that time. The formation is a little incorrect, but by comfort you can compare them.

Kiya Sorento 10g.V. DRINESNESS.DVS atmospheric, 2.4 volume 4 cylinder 170 Korean forces, moment 225n / m (like in Volvo S40, only twisted 1450kg, and a cue is about 1600kg with something.

Equipment As I understood rather wide for this car, namely needless access, hatch if I remember correctly electro, the ESP, a double climate, ESP, but the auto breaker (authorship) was only in front (on a volley on all 4 windows), the mirrors electrorelitting, while They do not close when the doors are closed with the street from the console, and closed with a button from the cabin. Well, too, well, everything is better than it with his hands when leaving the car to fold. Heated seats two levels.

Also electrically regulating seats, but no memory (((. That is not seats, but the seat (driver).

Rear view camera with image in the mirror.

GU audio is not regular. There was an android terrible and unique. With a memory card, with Navi, which is unrealistic to use, and with a gloomy scroll, which is also extremely inconvenient. Pretty pretty, while the same uncomfortable and with poor quality sound at all. It seems that even a regular external amplifier in the car was, but I will not say exactly, the owners can correct me, whether such in Sorento. Subwoofer sort of stood regular in that Sorika.

In the general fans of headquarters on the basis of Android in the car, I do not understand. The price of it by the way for 13 years was about 30000rub. Bezuma somehow. Especially comparing the music of the Android with the audio preparation of your personal car, the comparison is not in favor of android. In general, as for me, the Gu in the car on Android is a junk. Korean backlight and light bulbs with a monitor.

Here is the "Andryusha" release of the year so 10-11th. Incess for the cupcake, he accidentally in the frame.

Wheels regular hankuk summer sizes regular on 18r, winter no longer remember that it was bought. The car was a service, in the Korean company.

When I sat down at him, the hatch was broken, did on Casco, all turnkey was 55-60 thousand rubles. But it was up to 14 years in 13m. By the way, at od Kiya on Sorento s / h almost like the forties of the Wolva)) It's if it's not to buy s / h at a volva, because there will be more expensive than on Sorento. And in specialized stores Akratic, similar rates seemed to me. So What is this truth than Kiya Chevae in the service staff.

Noise insulation is fine. Once the overall motor is isolated, I don't hear how it is spinning, and it is spinning just. After 2800 revolutions. And there is no turn no, but it falls, there is no comparison in favor of KII.

Further. Brakes. They are not bad very much. Machine with Okay. The pads are erased not quickly, wheels, too, here not to the side of Volvo comparison. I would say so. As for electronic "helpers" I will not say anything, it seems to be troubles. But on a weight car in ice, you will be accurate, because it is difficult to judge personally. I go to other people's cars extremely neatly, therefore I do not know how it is in extreme situations.

Suspension. She is not good. In general, strong, but the amorts replaced the warranty by 60000 runs somewhere. Guarantees by the way. But they did not work at all, the car as whale was crushed at the police. The staffing of the suspension is disgusting in my opinion. Very tough. Well. On the log-like police, it becomes really sorry for the rear sed colts who sit there on the "Banquet". And instinctively brake to the limit.

I was overtaking me on policemen. And bli away from behind and bibical, but what to do?))

And of course, the remaining attributes of tough suspension were present, such as grounding in the cabin.

At 70000km, somewhere dripped the seat of the front passenger. The stupid glass deflectors installed is incomprehensible why our OD ... Then they began to fall on the track in the resonance, and the result was noise. I do not remember what but was. The rear left deflector was calmed down and helped.

More than anything on the suspension did not do. And it went through asphalt in Moscow and the region.

On the road rides normally, at a speed of 130-140 quite comfortable. But.

On overtaking to go carefully, especially if the rise is even small. Since the engine is roar, but it goes so-so, and sometimes not at all as it is necessary to roll, it seems that the automatic transmission tupits, well, or the moment is not enough. In general, I think that the internal combustion engine is weak for cars (gasoline), and it spoils the impression of the car on the highway. Yes, and in the city too. Therefore, on overtakes, be careful. My Volina has no such incidents at 140 Swedish elms. I think it's not bad for a 3.5 liter sore, but did they come to us in that bodies ..? Probably not.

It was from 50 to 100 t.km. with an interval 12000km. And up to 50,000 km, as they went to the dealer, I do not know.

The engine was clean, it was not, smoke, too, but I don't know why, and Kanstra 4 liter Shell had always had to keep. By the way, how oil Shell is so-so. I heard as much as it may and so, but the oil KMK is not good.

Body, chips bloom, rust. Well, so a couple of rhymes on the car in arbitrary places were there. And of course, the Beach of Korean machines, LCP scratches from the slightest exposure from the outside.

Consumption is high in the city. As Bugatti consumes fuel. But does not go)) Although in the flow to be held without problems.

Sitting comfortably high, but the seat is so-so after even Volvo S40 where there was a rather short seat cushion ... Honestly to sit and not get tired in a sore, it should be used to them. But the quality is so-so, everything was asleep on the sidewalls for three years. I have a 10-year-old S60 Volva now better seats than Sorento was.

The climate, it is good for heat. She was warmed even in 33 frost. This is beauty. Possible compared to s40 of mine who warmed up 15 minutes to gently if you say .. and then all 20 in the frost about -30. Well, this feature of those engines Volvo or their cooling systems do not know.

In the summer, it is also normal, but rescued, and with degrees forcing to play. And this is not entirely correct IMHO.

Climate step graduate. The backlight in the salon will merge the eye. I didn't like it. Red, and even in the door of the scarlet color diode highlighted. However, the word asia. There is no backlight in the legs.

The light is good. There was an autosive (xenon), but it is not needed for the headlights should always be kept on. PTF goes down with the dimensions. So there is little where there is. This is the bias to the Americans, from there the "brake" scaber in the car.

About breakdowns. The timing of their approximate, but still remember them all.

60000 shock absorbers. Set original from one Somewhere to 80,000 flow hose High pressure gur.

It is changed at one not under warranty, somewhere for 8000 rubles. And work in my way separately. Total price about 10,000 rubles.

85000km disappeared the image from the rear view camera which is built into the mirror. Did not blame.

About 6,000,000 km was another episode with a machine gun (automatic transmission).

With that neither from this, sowing behind the wheel I discovered on the inclusion in D a terrible roar, I remember a grandmother on the street that I was frightened that went in meters five from the car. The roar was manifested in 80% of the inclusion of the selector in D.

Having gone to the diagnosis, it seems to be found that some kind of faulty sensor is there. Allegedly connected to the temperature, the box does not see the box, and does not open the valve and therefore pink and roar.

Well I do not know. In general, they changed thousands of 15 (15,000 rubles) the knock was passed.

About ride, the bottom is actually low. I clung to the borders to them quite. When it was like a curb stone how to skip the wheels. But the whole is normal for the city. A small snowdrift comes into a snowdrift. Included blocking, helped. Pulled out in the yard.

One feature of the car does not like a sharp driving. Checkers and in general what is called "aggressive ride". In general, harsh accelerations and jumps on transmissions in the automatic transmission. Two times late and accounted for a rush hour as he could accelerate. In the amplitude of speeds from 30 to 90 ~~ km / h Although the car does not have a sharp ride, but you can shout and on it: D))

But after 5 minutes, I noticed the stench in the salon .. I reminded me to the stench of clutch.

And I saw it on this sorento both times when it chased it. In general, it does not like the car with a sharp driving. She is implicit about her.

Even Volvo and even more allows))

Well, almost and everything is probably. It can have forgotten, but the main thing that seemed to be mentioned.

Would buy yourself? Not. Although I liked my wife, but the devil lies in the details. Now she traveled already on the car, and then I have not skidious yet. So I wonder what she said about her now. Having rolled on it in the city mode and highway. Although one plus, more precisely, two Sorento does not take away, it is spacious, spacious and high.

And the height of landing in traffic jams is a thing. But you need a sufficiency yet, and with it tens in this car.

The verdict of gasoline soreuto those years is not needed. Maybe diesel, but what is unknown with reliability.

Although who needs such a car, in this price segment and in such a category of cars, those little probably little choice, because the price of cars in the Russian Federation is gloomy with each month ...

That's all. Sorry for "many letters", but in no way.

Kia Sorento appreciated for unpretentiousness, reliable power units and a lively suspension. The Korean crossover is produced since 2002, during this time three generations of the model are produced. Until 2010, Sorento for the Russian market was collected on Itzhavto, then in Kazakhstan and "Avtotor" in Kaliningrad.

Engines Sorento

The first generation of the car was equipped with a 2,5-liter D4CB engine, as well as gasoline G4JS, G6CU, G6DB. The volume of gasoline engine G4JS is 2.4 liters, and the power is 139 liters. from. G6CU - 3,5-liter 195 liter unit. from. In 2006, a gasoline engine G6DB with a capacity of 3.3 l with a capacity of 247 liters came to replace him. from.

The second generation of the model, which has been produced since 2009, was equipped with a gasoline 2,4-liter G4KE motor and a 2.2-liter D4HB diesel engine. Their capacity is 197 and 175 horsepower, respectively.

The third generation appeared in 2014. This is Kia Sorento Prime. For crossover, D4HB diesel is available with a capacity of about 200 liters. s., as well as G4KE 188 liters. from. The ruler supplemented the 3,3-liter gasoline unit G6DB by 250 liters. from.

Breakdowns of Sorento engines

Kia Sorento gasoline engines are durable and rarely deliver the problems of car owners. Although each of them has characteristic weak points, certain features. All gasoline engines, starting with and ending with G6DB - ordinary atmospheric, which consume from 12 l per 100 km in the city.

The G4JS pioneer on Sorento 2.4 "digesors" even the domestic gasoline A-92. It is inclined to overheating in the winter season, which is associated with the wrong functioning of the thermostat. Speaker at the crossover with a gasoline 2,4-liter motor medium. And with serious runs, over 200 thousand km, Zhor oil begins. Of the features, it is worth noting the complex drive of the shafts, which includes balancing balances and requires competent maintenance.

More powerful versions of the G6CU and G6DB are equipped with a CVVT system and individual ignition coils that are operated without problems in Russian conditions, despite the low quality of gasoline. These are voracious engines. The G6CU with a volume of 3.5 liters has a more outdated design and has proven itself well on the old Pajero. G6DB walks, depending on the quality of service and loads, from 300 thousand km. Then an increased oil consumption appears, revolutions, increased noise. Sometimes the owners of Sorento with the G6DB engine complain about floating malfunctions. For example, from time to time, Check Engine error lights up, idling speed increases. The problem lies in a faulty throttle node.

But not all the Sorento engines are worthy of praise. So, the engine 2.5 CRDI D4CB, which was installed on dorestayling versions of the first generation, capricious in operation. During runs over 160 thousand km, it may become more difficult to get started on the cold, interruptions begin, unpleasant surprises presents the fuel system. The nozzles are clogged with metal impurities, and in the TNLD there are jackets. Partially these problems are solved on cars issued after 2006. Due to restyling, the power of the engine has increased to 170 liters. from. Engineers have provided a new design of nozzles and turbines. This entailed not only positive, but also negative consequences. There was a misunderstanding with nozzles, or rather, their fasteners, which can break through the mileage of over 100 thousand km.

In 2009, Kia Sorento began to install G4Ke with a capacity of 175 liters. from. This is an analogue of a two-liter gasoline G4KD gasoline unit, the resource of which exceeds 250 thousand km. Among typical drawbacks, increased noise, individual car owners face wear of the liners that can be checked, which will lead to crankshaft. This, as a rule, happens only with very intensive operation. After all, the erosion of the surface material of the liner occurs.

Diesel Kia Sorento with D4HB engine is very frisky if compared with its predecessor, which was equipped with a 2.5 CRDI engine. Adherents of a dynamic ride may encounter maspay. But it is rather an exception, and not a pretended practice.

What additives will be useful for engines and fuel system Kia Sorento?

An inline four-cylinder diesel D4CB with a turbine and a direct injection system accommodates 8.5 liters of oil. And in the D4HB engine of the new KIA 6.7 liters of oil. Owners of diesel crossover sorts with these motors can be given the following recommendations:

• Reduce the frequency of maintenance from 15 thousand km to 7.5-10 thousand km. Timely, the engine resource will save.
• Since the engine turbocharged after driving at high speeds on the highway is immediately not joined it. Give the motor a little work. This will prolong the resource of the turbine.
• To process the 2.5 CRDI diesel engine with D4CB marking, use additives and. Make two-time processing, each time poured into the engine of 8 liters of additives. You can read more about this here.
• For processing the modern diesel 2,2-liter D4HB motor, use an additive into the oil. After running 400-500 km, repeat the procedure.

The repair and recovery additive increases on the engine's work surfaces, the thick layer of metal ceramics and will prolong the service life of the turbocharger. Two-handing processing gives the following results: reducing the flow of oil and fuel, increase compression, simplifying the start at minus temperatures. But keep in mind that the operational characteristics of the engine depend on the health of the fuel system, the quality of the diesel fuel used.

Weak place in Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDI are copper sealing rings injectors. If they do not change them in a timely manner, you will need to repair injectors. They are clogged by Nagar due to the use of low-quality fuel. This is a typical problem for most diesel cars, which are operated in Russian conditions. Therefore, it is worth a responsible approach to the choice of gas stations, and to increase the cetane indicator to add to the diesel fuel to the additive. This will reduce the load on the nozzles, will prevent vanadium corrosion.

In the regulations for servicing gasoline Kia Sorento with engines G4JS, G6CU, G6DB, G4KE, it is also worth making preventive treatment with an additive RVS Master, which is simply added to the engine oil. This will fully retain the operational characteristics of the engine, the hardening of the friction nodes will reduce the number of noise and vibrations.

Transmissions Kia Sorento

The first generation of Kia Sorento was equipped with a five-speed mechanics, as well as a four-way and five-speed automatic machine. For the second generation of crossover, a six-speed manual transmission and automatic transmission were developed. The third generation of Kia Prime is equipped with a six-speed automatic machine. Annex and all-wheel drive versions are available.

The four-stage automatic machine that was used for the first generation sorento - A44DE, manufactured by the Japanese company AISIN. To nodes that fail with serious runs in A44DE include an overtook coupling, an oil pump, a hydraulic liqueur. Later, instead of obsolete steel, the more modern five-step A5SR1 automatic transmission from Jatco was used.

Signs of crawls of the automatic transmission on Kia Sorento can be considered impulse, pinks, vibrations, crunch when switching, howl and the gul of transmission. But the appearance of noise or knock does not mean that it will take serious repair, replacing the same hydroblock or oil pump. It will become understandable only after comprehensive diagnostics, defecting.

If you want to extend the resource of an automatic or mechanical gearbox, use the RVS Master additive. To process automatic transmission, Kia Sorento is suitable. The additive is added directly to the oil, serves as the basis for restoring worn gear wheels, bearings and other friction surfaces with a dense metal ceramic layer.

But for the mechanics of Sorento, it will be necessary or. The same compositions are used as a additive into the bridge and distribution that have characteristic weaknesses. For example, due to wear of the gland, moisture penetrates into the place of the connection of the distribution with a box, which provokes corrosion, failure the main pair of dispensing box, the differential body in the transmission. This is a constructive drawback that will not be able to solve the additive for dispensing and bridge. But it can be restored to restore the worn friction surfaces, to achieve easier and smooth operation of the transfer box, eliminate howl and rumble of the bridge.

Kia Sorento is a medium-sized crossover, named after the same resort town, which in the south of Italy. The car was put on mass production in 2002. Since then, three generation of models have been developed, which equally gained popularity on domestic roads. The second generation is made since 2009. Notable is the basis that the basis of the main competitor SORENTO - Hyundai Santa Fe was chosen as the crossover platform. Three years later, the model did not undergo significant changes during the scheduled restyling. And already in 2014 KIA, the start of the production of the third generation of crossover was announced.

If the first generation has been subjected to insignificant criticism: rigid suspension, uncomfortable control, high cost for inexpressive equipment. That second generation of Kia Sorento, on the contrary, received a lot of laudatory feedback. The buyer was provided with a wide range of power units available to choose various configurations of the crossover. At the same time, the car is adapted for Russian operating conditions, which is an important help in choosing a high-quality vehicle. But, besides this, it is important to take into account the resource of power plants. In this article, we will tell you in detail what the resource of the engine Kia Sorento.

What motors equip Kia Sorento?

The first generation of the crossover was mainly completed with a 3.5-liter G6CU power unit DOHC with a capacity of 192 horsepower. Motor aggregated by a manual transmission for five steps or automatic gearbox. In 2006, the manufacturer carried out a serious upgrade model, adding several unique assemblies into the line of power plants. So became available for purchase 2.5-liter turbodiel D4CB motor. With the advent of the second generation of the Kia Sorento model in the motor line, a new G4KE assembly appeared - the engine with a working volume of 2.4 liters, characterized by a capacity of 170 hp. It was this installation in consequence that became the basic and most popular among all available modifications.

G4KE is characterized by the following technical parameters:

• 16 valves;
• 4 cylinders;
• injector power system;
• motor resource - more than 250 thousand km.

Equipment of KIA Sorento EX with a 2.2-liter motor and today is very popular. In general, the engine for 2.2 liters fell in love with many domestic drivers for unpretentiousness and a small level of fuel consumption. Initially, the unit had a capacity of 190 forces, but in 2013, during the modernization of a number of installations, its capacity was increased to 197 forces. Simultaneously there is a diesel counterpart.

Actual motor resource

Gasoline atmospheric power units KIA Sorento differ in the presence of a chain drive of the gas distribution mechanism and a water cooling system. Some modifications, for example, a 2.4-liter G4KE motor does not have, so it requires valve adjustment after every 90-100 thousand mileage kilometers. The G4KE motor is essentially an enlarged copy of G4KD, as it includes the crankshaft with a piston of 97 mm, which is 11 mm more than in the younger versions of the unit. The timing chain itself is quite reliable, it takes 100-120 thousand km to the replacement. GBC almost all engines are made of aluminum, which gives stability and endurance of motors.

The only essential problem of G4KE, G4KD, G4KJ is to turn the crankshaft liner at the turn of 100 thousand km. Exceptionally connecting connecting liners are subject to rotten, but there were no complaints about the sneakers' owners. However, the problem is rather part. Of the total number of car owners with similar motors, only 1% marked the problem. In general, it can be noted that the reliability of all Kia Sorento gasoline engines is large enough. With due care, 300 thousand kilometers are capable of passing.

But to diesel in Russia there has always been a specific attitude. They are picky about the quality of fuel refilling, and also require increased attention during maintenance. At the same time, the Kia Sorento diesel installations is characterized by constantly coming the sound of the camshaft tapping. Diesel modifications are complicated in repair, the main difficulties are associated with the accuracy of gaps. However, their actual resource is also large enough - 280 thousand kilometers. True, it turns out far from every owner to this turn.

Ownership reviews

The first symptom of a turbodiesel modification malfunction is usually a whistle that comes from the engine compartment during engine operation. Turbine repair - the pleasure is not cheap, so it is important to diagnose all the breakdowns associated with it. The replacement of the chain is recommended to carry out 100,000 km after 100,000 km, in extreme cases - after 115,000 km of run. Tightening with the replacement of the timing chain is undesirable, as there are cases when it took place at 120 thousand kilometers passed. To determine exactly what resource of the Kia Sorento engine will help the reviews of the Krossovers owners.

Engine 2.2.

1. Vasily, Ryazan. I have a car with a turbodiesel 2.2 engine, the crossover acquired after restyling. The car has already passed 120 thousand kilometers. Most recently replaced the timing chain and that's it. There were no more problems or breakdowns. GBC is a reliable, efficiently manufactured. For a hundred, they said that she was afraid of overheating. If the arrow went into the red zone, then the probability of the need to repair the GBC is almost 100%. It is important to use only high-quality engine oil. It will only be possible to hold the internal components of the cylinder head in perfect state as long as possible.
2. Stanislav, Cheboksary. I go driving Kia Sorento since 2013. At the moment, the mileage is 100,000 km. What is important to consider and observe? Of course, the quality of diesel fuel. I recommend refueling exclusively on proven gas stations. I myself prefer "LUKOIL", "Rosneft", "Bashneft", and there is still a considerable amount of good fuel suppliers. The nozzles suffer from poor-quality "nutrition", the average resource of the TNVD is about 200,000 km. As for the general installation resource. But the manufacturer himself assures that 150,000 km they go without any problems. That is, this is a warranty resource, we throw another 100 - 150,000 km from above and get the highest possible.
3. Igor, Moscow. I purchased a car with a motor 2.2 CRDI with a capacity of 190 forces back in 2009. Today on the odometer of the figure of 190 thousand kilometers. The engine is cool, economical and moderately crawled, but, in my opinion, too noisy. Sometimes it seems that you are driving the tractor. Maybe I'm wrong. But, at one time went driving many cars with diesel, but so that the engines worked so noisy - I do not remember. Replacing the timing chain was needed after 100 thousand mileage kilometers. With its replacement, it is better not to pull, as it can break and need serious repairs. Still requires long warming up. In winter, this necessary measure. No warm-up is extremely undesirable to travel. I believe that 250-300 thousand this engine is able to pass.

The turbodiesel 2.2-liter engine perfectly copes with the difficulties of exploitation on domestic roads. His resource in some cases reaches a mark of 300,000 km. The main thing is to monitor the state of the engine oil, air and fuel filter, and also not neglect the planned replacement of consumables.

Engine 2.4.

1. Egor, Voronezh. In 2008, I acquired Kia Sorento with a 2.4 liter engine. It was already 200 thousand km. In my opinion, the most successful engine is G4KE. This power unit without problems is coping with difficult operating conditions in Russia. It is important to monitor the state of filters and carry out timely replacement of consumables. I use original Hyundai / Kia engine oil. There were no breakdown. Only once replaced the timing chain - passed 120 thousand kilometers, it was undesirable to exploit it longer, it can seriously stretch and break.
2. Vyacheslav, Moscow. I have Kia Sorento 2012 release of the second generation. I took the car from the hands, now in an odometer of 180 thousand, I do not know, twisted or not, but, it seems to me, the mileage is quite real. Motor works like a clock. I have no complaints about the quality of assembly. The oil is not "eating", though, many say that during the mileage of 200,000 and more kilometers, regular lubricant podlivals begin. I do not know if it really is. So far, everything is normal. I think that 250-300 thousand km is quite a real G4KE motor resource. By the way, it is an almost accurate copy of 4B12, which is so equipped in its reliability and quality does not have to doubt.
3. Alexey, Yalta. Personally, I did not like the car. More precisely, the motor itself is 2.4 liters. Up to 170 thousand kilometers was all right, and after the car literally fell apart. Changed the chain, nozzles, crankshaft, oil cooler and other components. I had to spend a lot of time, forces and cash. Perhaps I got unsuccessful equipment. After the passage of the first 100, the inserts began to shut. At that moment I realized that I could not avoid problems with the car in the future. In general, repaired, after which I sold the car.

Kia Sorento with a 2.4 liter motor can be purchased without any fears. In exceptionally rare cases, problems are possible with turning inserts, an early failure of injectors. But, in most cases, these problems are the consequences of poor-quality services, neglecting the rules of passage. The G4KE engine with due care takes about 300 thousand km.

Engine 2.5.

1. Evgeny, Rostov. I will not open America, if I say that the resource of the Kia Sorento engine depends more than the quality of service. The 2.5 liter D4CB engine is very complex in a constructive plan. It is not so easy to repair. By the exploitation of Kia Sorento since 2002. From the disadvantages of the motor, I note that it has a non-easy Timing system of three chains with hydraulic tensioners. The chain in our operating conditions lives long - 90 thousand, maximum 100 pumps. Very loud engine, new 2.2-liter turbodiesel is much quieter. Antifreeze is best changed every 30 pumps, engine oil after 7-8 thousand pumps. Drove on the car already 220 thousand, there was no major overhaul, the valve immediately bent with the breakdown of the timing chain, therefore, follow its resource.
2. Matvey, Yekaterinburg. The 2.5-liter motor resource is about 250 thousand - further overhaul. This is a practically identical company Japanese 4D56 from Mitsubishi. Koreans added their turbocharging, changed the fuel injection system, and also upgraded the head of the cylinder block and the piston group. I will say that adding a resource the engine was actually failed. It is difficult to repair, many masters say that he does not give in to the kapital. That is, you will have to find a good specialist. The timing chain is weak, can break and break the valve. Himself exploited Sorent from 2012 to 2015, after which he sold.
3. Alexander, Vorkuta. Diesel, like a diesel, nothing special. Works loud when you get on the cold, it seems that the camshaft is knocking. It turns out that this feature of the operation of this engine. No warm-up, one plus - "eats" fuel really little. Weaknesses - Copper Rings are rapidly destroyed, the liners also do not live long, the GBC does not like overheating. In general, the engine is not ideal, but quite acceptable for everyday work. The average resource is 250 thousand kilometers.

Like any other D4CB motor has its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of the engine is the need for a small amount of fuel. It is reliable enough, but in rare cases produces more of its operational engine weight. On average, it serves as 250 thousand kilometers.

Engine 3.5.

1. Kirill, Novokuznetsk. About this engine know, probably many. He was successfully put on Mitsubishi Pajero. Since 2017, I took the car in the secondary market, it was made in 2004 (first generation). Mileage is already 240 thousand, no one twisted. Excellent characteristics, motor has a lot of advantages, but there are also disadvantages. After the passage of 200,000 km, constantly topping the oil - about 0.5 liters per 1,000 km. The chain is not installed not the most reliable - 100,000 km limit of its resource. A hundred experts say that 300,000 km of the resource ceiling. The turns are started to swim, in general, you will need to disassemble the engine and watch the state of the cylinder block.
2. Daniel, Moscow. What I like G6DB, so this is the fact that it does not have any frills, it is simple and thoroughly studied. Weaknesses and Disadvantages: There are no hydrocomathers, the gaps are adjusted to the manual, it works on the cold "noisy, referring to the quality of engine oil. I have a KIA Sorento 3.5 L in the basic configuration. Mileage 210 thousand, recently began to top up the oil. Before that, with the consumption of the luber, everything was in order. In general, the engine does not deliver big trouble, there was no critical breakdown.
3. Egor, St. Petersburg. I have Kia Sorento with a 3.5 engine, exactly the same as 6G74. Looking under the cover, everywhere on the sensors are the mark of Mitsubishi and Bosh. Its main difference is the unit is not made of aluminum, but cast iron. Motor cool for a very long time, in winter it is convenient, in 2 hours in the cold does not lose heat. On the crossover drove 250 thousand kilometers. There were problems only with the crankshaft sensor, changed high-voltage wires and candles. It's still a belt, like a chain, change with a roller through 120 thousand. There is no problems with the fuel and oil, surprised, although many people say that this motor is peculiar to the "Masterser".

Depending on the loads and quality of service, the Kia Sorento engine at 3.5 liters is able to pass from 250 to 300 thousand kilometers. The undoubted advantage of the motor is a constructive simplicity. It is easy to maintain and repair.

Compared to its predecessor Kia Sorento of the first generation, the second generation model seriously changed its appearance, acquiring winding and smooth outlines, which further emphasize the original, but at the same time, and the strong character of the Korean manufacturer's SUV (not assembly). As evidenced by the majority of reviews, in terms of value - quality - the number of all sorts of frills, this car takes a worthy place among its such competitors. But at the same time, despite the many advantages, and the Kia Sorento of the 2nd generation has its weaknesses, diseases and disadvantages, which should be known about and to pay attention to the purchase of a car.

Comments on the salon minor. They are mainly not very high-quality finishing materials. Glossy plastic surfaces are hard, so scratches, scratching, scratch appear on them. If they do not carefully contact them, then chips are possible. There is a lack of a deflexor blowing. A whistle is heard from the device. You can get rid of the problem. To do this, it is necessary to lubricate the bearings of the motor and install new salon filters

The paintwork is not from the best, which is the main reason for the appearance on the body of chips and scratches. Despite this corrosion resistance worthy. Rust on the body indicates that the car was in an accident and there was a poor-quality recovery. Nephields with chrome elements. Over time, they are treated or covered by verses.

Four-wheel drive

The four-wheel drive is found in the car, both with gasoline and with a diesel engine. The system is not constant, turns on the electromagnetic clutch. The last part is its disadvantage. Connection motor and wiring quickly fail. They need to replace them with new ones.

First of all, it should be noted that most of the owners of this car have to deal with such a problem as malfunction in an automatic transmission (automatic transmission). Of course, it is impossible to say that the automatic box itself is weak, but that various glands are weak and hoses cooling boxes, etc. then yes, but it is important to understand that this leads to the failure of a whole unit. To do this, you must be able to determine the standard symptoms of faults that can lead to a serious breakage. Such signals are the driver, as a slip, the presence of constant or periodic vibration, jerk and twigs when switching gear, high noise, droplets, etc. Remember that the box is the second heart of the car.

The turbine on many cars is a headache with its owners and no exception has become very sophisticated. But I would like to note that in this car, the turbine is more sensitive to the quality of oil, as official dealers also speak. Therefore, the signs of the outlet or the ambulance of the turbine can be bad traction, and increased oil consumption, and the color change in exhaust gases (even or blue), and the noisy operation of the turbocharger. Therefore, in the case of buying diesel cars, it is necessary to pay attention to this, since in the future the replacement will cost the present owner in a decent amount, especially if the car mileage is about 170-200 thousand km.

Crankshaft pulley.

Frequent diseases of Kia Sorento include problems with the crankshaft pulley. It is possible to determine the malfunction in a characteristic clay in the right front wheel area. The reason for the breakdown is a pulley technological device, in which the rubber gasket drops, which leads to its turning. This can also be attributed to the problem with the pulley fastening bolt, as well as with the quality of the pulley itself. There were cases that the pulley himself gradually cleaned into pieces. Not to say that time-consuming and expensive work, but this nuance must be considered.

There are also certain clutch problems on cars with mechanical transmissions. It is not necessary to solve the problem independently, since it is necessary to help an experienced specialist, and it will be very difficult to cope with it without any understanding of knowledge and experience. If the desire to do everything itself is wins, then you should know that you need to change the entire clutch system, and not only its separate parts.

Cardana Cross.

Another "Jamb" Kia Sorento II - Kardanov's Crosss, which, unfortunately, do not have high wear resistance. In addition, the causes of the Cardanov Crosspores are: development or damage to the sealing salinity, the backlays in the spline connections, the bending of the cardan shaft, causing its imbalance.

Fuel system diesel engines.

This is not only minus diesel sore, but also other cars on diesel. But when buying a car, it is worth aware about it. Moreover, if the former owner from rural areas, then the question must be number one, in which the nearest gas stations the car was refilled.

Other weaknesses.

In addition to all of the above, you can still bring a number of patients with which the owners of these cars are most often faced, unlike the same problems on such cars of other brands. These are such malfunctions as the GUR, breaking the intake manifold (on gasoline), on turbodiesels - breaking the bolt of the nozzle fastening and breaking the rod of one of the pistons, burning the resistor of the cabin heater fan motor, front gearbox.

The main disadvantages of Kia Sorento 2

1. Crickets in the front torpedo;
2. Rigid suspension;
3. Bad noise insulation;
4. Small miscalculations in ergonomics;
5. Brands and scratched plastic;
6. Weak Middle Light;
7. Fuel consumption does not correspond to the declared;
8. Not high-quality seats, both leather and simple.

Conclusion.

The Kia Sorento car, both in the opinion of the motorists themselves, and according to its technical characteristics, is an excellent Korean SUV. Moreover, the latest changes in the crossover allowed to get rid of a number of problems inherent in previous modifications. On the other hand, some of the listed problems still remained, but with the proper operation of the car and the passing of regular, all these problems may seem insignificant.

P.S.: Dear car owners, if you were noticed by frequent breakdowns of any details, units of this model, report this in the comments below.

Weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages of the second generation KIA Sorento Was Last Modified: November 19, 2018 by Administrator.

Kia Sorento cars came to the Russian market with head factories of the Korean Concern. In August 2005, the assembly of this SUV on the Auto Plant "Izhavto" was established. Four years later, the release of Kia Sorento in Russia was discontinued due to the lack of funds for the acquisition of autocomplets. In May-September 2011, the Izhavto plant carried out an assembly of 800 cars in order to fulfill obligations to Kia Motors concern.

Restyling model in 2006 made it possible to increase the power of the diesel engine and 170 l / s. A number of force aggregates were replenished with a gasoline engine 3.3 l with a capacity of 247 l / s.

Major malfunctions of the Kia Sorento diesel engine

Practice has shown that the most problematic in Kia Sorento is a diesel engine. The components of the fuel supply system are quickly increasing, causing difficulties in the launch of the unit, interruptions in its work. In the pump, there are friction of details forming the bully. Metal particles pass along the fuel rail to the tank and the nozzles.

The main factor in the premature fault fault of the fuel system, the engine malfunction is poor-quality "dry" diesel fuel, which does not contain in sufficient lubricants.

In Kia Sorento diesel, problems may arise if necessary to replace the candles. With a mileage that exceeds a hundred thousand km, they "bike". When unscrewed, the housing can break.

The owners of the SUV after a run over 150,000 km often have to face the fact that the engine stalls during the movement or "capricious" during startup. These problems create overflowing nozzles. It is necessary to repair or replace them. The cost of new elements varies in the range of 8-11 thousand rubles. For the bulkhead of the injectors will have to pay for about 7 thousand rubles. Since the difference in sums is insignificant, it is worth spending on the purchase of new items, as they will serve much longer.

Breakdowns in diesel motors of restyled models

Not without problems and in restyled models with a more powerful diesel unit. There were cases when when working with a load on maximum speed, a piston connecting rod was broken. As a result, the engine elements were broken during rotation. The power unit has to be changed. Such breakdowns cannot be called common, but, nevertheless, the risk of this malfunction of Kia Sorento diesel exists, appears after a run over 20,000 km.

Often the owners of the machines that have passed more than 70,000 km are faced with such a problem as a "shooting" of the fortunes because of the bolt cliff. Most often, the breakdown occurs on the 4th element. The manufacturer recognizes flawlessness, in order to eliminate it was replaced by bolts for more durable options.

There are no special complaints to the turbine. Under normal operating conditions, it perfectly performs its functions up to 170 thousand. After hundreds of thousands of mileage kilometers, malfunction symptoms may appear. The first "ringing" is a whistle, the radial backlash increases, oil appears in the air duct. The repair of KIA in this case will cost 15,000 rubles. You can replace the turbine. It is approximately 30,000 rubles. For installation in the service will take 6-7 thousand rubles.

The engine is equipped with a timing chain drive. On the recommendation of specialists, its replacement is required to produce after the hundreds of thousands of km. Otherwise, the chain is drawn up, begins to grow, to 150,000 it acquires inadmissible dimensions. There were cases of drive breaks after 120 thousand. Works on the replacement of the chain are within 8-10 thousand rubles.

The life of the fuel pump is designed for 220,000 km. When running 140-180 thousand km, the instability of its work at idle, associated with malfunctions in a reduction valve.

Moting in gasoline engines Kia Sorento

Atmospheric power units are more stable. These motors are equipped with belt drives, which need to be changed after the passage of sixty thousand km.

The main problems of the COP gasoline 2.4 are associated with overheating during the winter months. The following picture is observed:

• the engine warms up to 100 ° C;
• the pipe in the cooling system does not heat;
• the fan works, cooling the motor.

The cause of the problem is a failure in the thermostat. The manufacturer failed to eliminate this problem. Some owners attempted to replace the thermostat with analogues from other models, but it does not bring results. Another problem of this motor is a significant increase in oil consumption after hundreds of thousands of run.

In the course of operation, weaknesses were revealed and the unit is 3.5 liters. Bolt fixing the pulley of the crankshaft drive is destroyed. In the event of a breakdown, it is desirable to replace it, otherwise the breakdown will soon appear again. It is about 5 thousand rubles this element.

Often, the owners of these models are faced with an unstable operation of the engine associated with the air seats in the intake manifold. In machines with a mileage exceeding 100,000, dampers breakdowns, which penetrated the cylinder. This malfunction of Kia Sorento is eliminated in the service for 30 thousand rubles. The concern conducted a campaign to eliminate this flaw in 2005.

3.3 of the owners of serious claims did not arise from the owners of serious complaints.

Maintenance Kia Sorento

Extend the life of the car, to exclude many, arising from Kia Sorento problems makes an attentive attitude to the technical means, the timely replacement of the elements for which a certain service life is provided. Owners should know the resource of some important nodes and details:

1. Tension roller drive - 130 thousand km.
2. Pomp wedge system - 110 thousand km.
3. Catalyst - 120 thousand km.
4. Steering Rake - 150 thousand km.
5. Generator - 170 thousand km.
6. Fuel level sensor - 150 thousand km.

Maintenance of KIA, like any other car, primarily includes preventive work with the brake system. This is a guarantee of driver safety and passengers. After a run, 40,000 km is required to replace the KIA pads on the front disks. Rear elements serve longer, they can be changed after one hundred thousand mileage. At the same time, a vacuum pump may come into disrepair. It is required to control the integrity of the hoses on which hernias arise, creating risk of rupture.

It is periodically necessary to syringe the slots of the disduction and the cardan shaft, crosses of the shafts. The cycle to replace the seals is 110 thousand km of mileage. Many malfunctions of the total drive of Kia Sorento are associated with their wear.

These SUVs differ durable, reliable suspension. In order to maintain it in excellent condition, after the ninety thousand km of mileage, it is necessary to replace the sleeves and the stabilizer racks, after 120,000 will have to replace the ball supports, and another twenty thousand will come to install new silent blocks and shock absorbers.

In general, the owners and experts believe that the quality and cost of this SUV are in an ideal ratio. Many characteristic of Kia Sorento breakdowns can be prevented, eliminated without exorbitant costs.
