Hi Guys - I've bought a replacement engine for my 2.0 petrol year 2000 Sportage. I'll be doing the transfer myself - I've done a few other vehicles but this is my first Sporty. Does anyone have any advice or tips to help me get it done either easier or quicker. Thanks in advance. Dave.

  5. Broken power steering 01 sportage ex

    The power steering went out on my friends 01 Kia Sportage Ex and I need help on diagnosing what I need to replace. Also maybe a link to a repair manual.

  6. Power steering gear repair

    1G (1993 - 2002) Sportage
    Has anyone ever rebuilt the steering gear. Mine has some play in it that makes you constantly have to move the steering wheel to keep it straight.
