Sirs,gents
I have a 2005 2.5 Diesel with 4 wheel drive (Auto / Low ) i think this called TOD.
In 2007 i had a noise from behind and KIA service just changed my transmission oil and the problem solved.
In 2010 i lost my 4 wheel possibility and then the KIA service also changed transfer oil and some other things inside like pump oil,motor... and the problem was solved.
Now 2013 i am not in Greece but i am in Belgium.Before one week i had 130000Km service and also i asked to fix a problem with a noise from the front and wheel trempling.KIA service changed the whole front right bearing with the knuckle (667 euro) and the service (486) total 1153.
After one week i had the symptom:
When i start and full turn left the wheel there was a noise from the frotn left like a metalic noise in a small frequency(click-click-click...).
I went back to KIA service assuming that they didnt fix well the bearing and they said that there is a possibility of failure front differential (cost 1990 euros) or the whole transfer (cost 4900 euros).
Then i told them that i need to think about it...
They put out the front shaft propeller and they said that i can now drive safe to home.
I would like to mention that i dont have the noise any more since i remove the front shaft propeller.I spoke with KIA in Greece and said:change the oil in the transmission and check how it goes.
May i ask is it a problem to continue drive my car without the front shaft propeller since i dont care for 4 wheel drive since i drive very smoothly with my 17month baby on board.
Please is there any someone who can give me any advice since you can understand my dissapointment.I can not afford much more money for a almost ten years car
