Hi All, new member here from New Zealand, have posted an intro thread! My Wife's 2020 Sorento (21 model year, it's weird in NZ) has now travelled ~76000km or ~48500 miles. We love it and it's an excellent vehicle to drive. At about 68000km, we had a routine service and they advised there was a...

Can someone show me in a picture where the Oil Control Valve is on a 2012 SX Turbo? Every video I find online shows the 2.4L and it doesn't appear to be the same. I've got a P0014 error I'm trying to resolve.

I did a spark plug change and noticed that #2 spark plug (from left to right) has what appears to be oil on it and is quite dark. there was really no oil in the chamber, there was something oil colored right where the hole is where the tip of the spark plug goes in to the engine, however when I...

So I'm deciding between a Rav4 hybrid and Sportage. Well, more accurately I'm waiting for both and will probably buy the one that I can get at msrp first. But I digress. I saw a review today that said that the Kia uses a turbo engine, which could lead to more problems since it tends to...

So i've had a 2016 2.0T a little while now and over the last month i've noticed a hissing, air escaping noise coming from the left side in the rear of the cabin when accelerating above 2500rpm. This is my first turbo vehicle so I want check if this is normal spooling or is there an issue with...

Hi folks, I LOVE my new car... but I have a question about her. Off the lot, she drove nice and smooth - but about a week after I got her home (and after a new tank of gas), I noticed that she seems a bit "jerkier" in low gears. Despite being an automatic, I can feel her shifting and...

Took delivery of a 2022 Kia Seltos SX (Turbo) 4 days ago and I am loving the new ride. This vehicle is a step up from the 2015 and 2021 Kia Soul (both very good cars). The 2015 Soul (Base) was traded in for a 2021 Soul (GT Line) back in March, and the 2021 traded in for the Seltos. I wanted...

At about 88k started using 1qt/1000mi. Never had to add between 4k changes before. Took to KIA dealer. Told had to do oil consumption test protocol for $125. Okay started that. Service called said lots of oil on rear of engine need to clean and put dye in to find leak. Car parked in same place...

2017 Sportage sx 2.0 Getting code P2562 Turbocharger boost control position sensor A circuit. I want to swap out this sensor. Anyone know where it is located? Also, any ideas as to where to buy the sensor other than the dealer?

Hello, My friend bought few years ago that car. The seller told that the turbo was replaced few months before, and the car is remaped. For a while the car runned well, but after about 40-50K kms the turbo became noisy. His mecanic told that he must replace the turbo. They changed only the...

Hey all, I've got a 2012 Optima SX with just over 110k miles on it. Late 2017 or 2018 I had the engine block replaced as part of the recall and have had very little major repairs needed. I'm the second owner, I bought it ~2015. I do regular maintenance with synthetic oil every 5k miles or so...

Hi everyone, I've done a little bit of digging into my problem, but the videos I see online aren't quite the sound I hear from my engine. This Forte is brand new, 800km so far. Here's what it sounds like on a cold start: And here's what it sounds like when the engine is warmed up: The...

Other than making the gas companies richer, is there any benefit to running 89 or 93 octane in my 16 1.6t? Car seems to run fine on 87 but I know other turbo cars need 89 or 93.

I've purchased a 2007 2.5 diesel Sorento. 200k on clock. It runs fine but there a really significant turbo lag and some black smoke when I really put the foot down. Runs smooth generally though. Mechanic checked it out at last device. He said the turbo has a bit of forward and side to side...

Hi all, new to Kia & found this forum. I just purchased the 2021 Seltos SX a month ago. Learning all about DCT right now, as well as re-acclimating to a turbo.

2015 Sorento 2.4 ... recently had the engine recall swap from KIA, and they declined to add the turbo unit (which I thought would be just sporting of them, for all the trouble they were putting me through). Transparency: I ask for ridiculous stuff sometimes... and sometimes I get it! You...

Hello, New to the forum...I’m looking to confirm the motor/engine similarities between a 2014 Hyundai Veloster/Veloster Turbo and 2016 Kia Rio5. I owned the 2014 Veloster Turbo and now own the 2016 Rio5. I want the power of the VT in my Rio5. I have some fabrication/mechanical skills and know...

Hey everyone! I have a 2007 Cee'd, the turbo recently went on it and i'm looking to do the replacement myself as the car really isn't worth much. I have ordered a replacement turbocharger and i am waiting on delivery. I was wondering if anybody had some helpful advice or rough instructions for...
