Anyone get carbon buildup in their engine? Clean it effectively?

So I'm hearing a ticking noise... Initially I thought It was the exhaust gasket noise as it sounded the same, but the other day my ticking noise got worse .. depending on the rpm it comes and goes. While Idling, the ticking can completely go away and then come back even worse.... you can hear...

Hello all, My 2017 Kia Sorento has 56K miles on it. I have had it for almost 2 years. I bought it pre-owned and am financing it. I owe a little under 15K on it. Recently, I have been experiencing an engine knock sound. I have stayed on top of oil changes as well. I took my Kia to my trusty...

I was having issues with my battery, while looking online I saw that disconnecting your negative battery cable while the car is on will test your alternator. I was telling a friend who is a mechanic and they tried it themselves and proceeded to disconnect the positive cable. After disconnecting...

I bought my 2015, 6 cylinder Kia Sorento less than two years ago. At that point it had 87,000 miles on it (so clearly outside of the 60,000 miles warranty). Last weekend my car left me unsafetly stranded after the wheel wouldn’t turn and the breaks locked. Managed to get a mechanic out and...

In the UAE and other GCC countries the Sorento comes with either the 2.5L 4 cylinder (180 ps) or 3.5L 6 cylinder (272 ps). I was wondering which other region, if any, get these engines, especially the V6. Can’t seem to find any reviews of the 2021 Sorento with this engine so I guess not many…

So I was surprised I didn’t find anyone talking about this yet... This whole auto-shut off feature when you come to a stop... is this a common thing on newer cars now? I have to say of all the features that I thought I would never get used to, after 1 month of driving, this is the ONE feature...

Hi guys, So I have a 61 plate (2011) Picanto and it's caused me nothing but trouble lately. It started where I would try turn the engine on and it would click a few times before turning over, this then developed into clicking a lot before turning over and then rapidly turned into just clicking...

So I have a predicament. I just found out that my Kia Sorento doesn't have its OEM engine in it. When the camshaft bolt blew, the block was replaced with one it wasn't meant to have since that's all they had in stock. I would like to know which engine. All I have are part numbers from the...

Can a newer engine be put into a 2015 Soul+? My oil pump went bad, apparently, and it looks like I need a new engine. (Only 84000 miles on it, but my understanding is that Kia's 100000 mile powertrain warranty does not transfer to second owners like me. Sigh.) The 2015 engines I've found are...

Hi all, I found out there was a law suite involving the engines on various cars including the 2019 Optima where the engine could catch fire or something. What happens to unsold cars? do they get them fixed before they get sold?

Hello guys, I recently bough a Sorento, its a 2016 V6, it has a 3.3L but its not GDI, I'm in Costa Rica so we get a different engine. Thing it, it recently started making a weird noise but exclusively when accelerating, as soon as I come off the accelerator the noise stops. Only way for me to...

I have my Kia Optima SXL in the shop, the turbo has failed. It has had the usual Kia failures new engine at 30,000. Steer colum plastic union. All cpu updates 120 engine point check etc. Now let me explain this one to you. As of the above mileage, I was on the way to work when all of a sudden I...
