2002 Kia Sportage

2002 Kia Sportage       

      Dear Ladies and Gentlemen and Ladies! Separate greetings brother Nicholas - professional avtodela with a capital letter, which I became who I am now, and Mr. Sportyag'e. I warn once, read will have long since objective feedback on «Koreans» bit, he decided to take up the keyboard. All listed below, the truth and not public relations. At all points in pleased to respond by e-mail.
       About Me. 23 years, rising 183 cm higher technical education. Driving experience with 99 city, the rights of all categories, except for the bus. In the army a year and a half lead refueller Kamaz 43101 and ZIL-131. Prior to this car, possessed «ten» (8 cells. Leaving a good impression) and the Subaru Legacy Wagon 2.5 liters. 97 GV (complete garbage).
       About car. At this time, mileage approaching 28 t.km. Looking for a new in September 2002, the official «Altek». When you purchase a discount card to give a discount of 10% at work ihnem service. Salon liked, a great hall, but were presented to all official «Koreans». Now worse, quickly investigate, in the projection room is not delayed. I have a version of Grand - elongated trunk at 30 cm, thus not put up spare tire on «wicket», and put it under floor luggage. The body of another Korean welding. Bundling basic: Conder, an electrician \ heated mirrors, glasses, Radio (4 din. +2 NCH, automatic. Antenna) reylengi on the roof spoiler on the trunk door, ext. stop light, light alloy wheels. In addition to the basic bundling more often with ABS and pillows, you can also order a large glass hatch Webasto. There are versions with Automatic. Buy a car with ABS would not, because think in a car «I myself ABS». But from the cushions not be refused, but they are only complete with ABS.
       Since on the previous car has always lacked basic light lamps (used to Kamazovskoy prozhektornoy optics) and the operation had to install extra protivotumanki, decided to put this right away. But the staff of seats in the front bumper no. Therefore had to put «kengurin». Origin «kengurin» Kia for this model but thought that it made the Chinese PTUshniki and complete disgust, did not cause. It is approx. 100 Put steel arch firm «Cobra» (Germany, 260 USD) in black with under the protivotumanki places. Actually, I do not give short weight fan, but this detail does not spoils the appearance, and is not afraid of the word, adds 10 cm «life» in front of the hood.
       The first thousand mileage replaced full rubber «Kumho», the dimension of 205 \ 70 \ R15 at the winter neshipovannuyu Sooper Weather Master S \ T2 205 \ 75 \ R15 (there are snow-version). In general, this full-«Kumho» and rubber did not call. The material is said shaybu for hockey. And even for a car wheel is small dimension and design of the sidewall impoverished. But this is understandable, given in order to reduce the cost and buses, the main drop from the conveyor, and there is not a suit, and may change. Cooper looks much better, although the amount is not much more. For the Moscow winter at the time.
       In the salon tried to «vparit» alarm 2 times more expensive than the market price, and that it talked about the inability to install the CD-changer under the front passenger seat. After a brief conversation, people probably understood that the «signalku» divorce fail, and we disagreed on the mat in the trunk (60 USD), and installing ihnego «kengurina» and my protivotumanok. For everyone else, the proposed interior work, scored, drove in the normal place is not the first car did, and they all put on the normal price. Even the quality is significantly higher than the price. CD-changer under the front seat stood up perfectly.
       In general, the standard place under the Audio System is designed for installation of car radio, the so-called 2 dinovuyu. But such is not particularly prevalent in the sale, I found no more than 4 models. In addition, the presence of Moscow's streets every Spahn and sheluponi makes installing a car radio unsafe because panel is not removable. Normal radio comes without any problems hands normal wizard. Established dynamics «Alpine». The sound is good. Even classical music sounds good. If there is no music fan - is more than enough. Automatic antenna catches well, without interference.
       General impression. In the city in winter pret a tank. At zasnezhennoy track behavior is also predictable. Clearance allows not to think about the curb when parking. Even with a crankcase is sufficient clearance. Mode 4x4 includes a couple of times in the yard of the house. Because of the snow from the courtyard of the building had not taken out, and throughout the winter moves on parking spaces, periodically Taya in the thaw, so «Eats» substantial amount of free space for parking. In the 4x4 can stand up to any such place, provided that the height of snow is not above the wheel. In addition to cases with no inclusion of «razdatki» (see below), the cable vytaskivali only once. Zaehal in soft snow for almost a mirror (to know what I go, but wanted to verify the maximum difficult circumstances. A number of tractor ride guaranteed assistance if that). Summed rubber, is not adapted to such conditions. If there are special. a set of wheels left to itself.
       Rudder route «pustovat», but for any reasonable maneuver rather informative. When parking - perfect. During the summer period has lacked momentum booster when you start to the asphalt. By the time disperse a little faster standard «Ninth». In the summer put rubber Pirelli P4000 215 \ 70 \ R15 to drive AEZ. Actually wanted the same Sooper (old version), but accidentally hit on the sale of Pirelli dealer. As such, the wheels leave a bit of wheel arches post rasshiritelyami. Because of this, almost always bedraggled door. The width of the rear spray-suppression is sufficient to hold the mudflows.
       On his way more than 140 km. \ H. not clocked. But, given what the stock remains, I think passport to 165 km. \ H. go. Loaded is better than empty. Without passengers, the rear axle is not enough pressure forces. Generally on the route, with the management of any car, the speed of 120-130 km. \ H. think for yourself enough.
       Frame body and suspension, with a military background, are very sturdy construction. Easy to digest the quality of local roads outside of Moscow. While open hatches are in the center of Moscow (no joke, he obezzhal on speed). The lack of sound creates the effect of poorly functioning suspension on uneven. In fact, it is not. Suspension is working properly in any mode. Impacts on the body is not passed, the rudder is not drozhit. Off-the collapse of doing once a year. The design of the brakes a bit different from the patterns of previous years production. The changes affected the front carriage and shoes. Rear - «eternal» drum design. Comments about no, nothing skripit, wear uniform. The only thing that happens, it hit products of wear on the wheels. At the same scale as if absorbed in the metal discs. Periodically take the toxic chemistry - «cleaner wheel drives» domestic production. Actually, regardless of wear pads, going the entire system be replaced by Ferrodo or something like that. But the problem started with shoes. By that time, there was no alternative to the original. So far ezzhu throughout the home. I would try the spring.
       About service. In «Alteke», to my knowledge, not a cheap service. There are two services: 1) st. Smirnovskaya (near the intersection of the street. Nizhny Novgorod with the 3rd ring) 2) st. Plekhanov (next to Rd. Entuziastov). At Plekhanov was once, but in general ezzhu to Smirnovskuyu (geographically closer). 1 st located inside a former factory. Work shop - much hangar, ca. 8 th lifts. The reception and lounge with a telecom customer. In general, all cultural. According to the will of fate in kuzovnom shop and malyarke has not yet been. But I think that any beginner Tommi Mäkinen and I was there. Although a small nick on the rear bumper I had «given» local ZhEKa, PRONAM stolen by a steel corner. In Moscow, is not without accidents.
       At Plekhanov main shop small but pochische. The reception and waiting room more than Smirnovskoy. There is a master inspector. All cars in the shop drive himself a master. Self can zaehat \ leaving only cleaning. Continue to talk only about the service at Smirnovskoy. For all of the time that I have visited, I had the impression that the double shift managers and craftsmen are divided (so forgive me insult) to the goats and good specialists of their cause. In general, guys can all, but sometimes do not want. In the sheet with a list of the TO, after the meeting, «ticking» stands, but watched or not, in fact, no check.
       The first conflict took place a month after buying, when passing through a checklist TO (1000 km.). Pre-recorded, came to the opening of the first. Putting a car parked in front of the entrance to a hangar, met to go to process documents. Local grandfather-keeper (a ringer for a copy of the hero Mikhail Ulyanov in the film «Voroshilov Sharpshooter»), found that the car is all the same a few degrees curves, as required by statute to guide for military drivers edition in 1965 (there are such, the in the hands holding), forgetting about his limp, almost combatant step towards me. I have to miss his main unprintable remarks, describing just about the culmination of our «conversation». With the words «well-being program will take away their cart away at the wee ... ... .... but I scha ... ... ... ... .. scha have other cars coming, and you then wee ... ... ... ... »direct steady hand movement was impacted on the driver's door. After that I did had to equalize before the statutory degrees trajectory to anticipate with pleasure the scandal to go to a meeting with the «most important» in the service. Without going into details, I will say once the final result. «General Manager», which I later attributed to the good professionals of their cause, long sorry, promised a warm reception each time my next visit to the service, a ringleader incident declare a severe reprimand. At the expense of reprimand did not know, but grandfather-«parkovschika» I have not seen for a long time. After the oil changed, everything looked set to seal a service record. Then headed off-collapse (ibid.). For it had some reason to pay. At the factory geometry of the wheels exhibited very approximate, or it is violated in the process of transporting up to the showroom.
       During the year, after this incident, a couple of times came with small defects (weakening attachment laisse stekloochistitelya. Delal diagnosis of engine and suspension as they wish, because going to go to another city, and once at 10 t.km. ). Everything was really welcomed. If that day worked as a manager (as the name, I know, but I will not hang labels), it is almost always drive myself to a car lift, additionally talked with the master, asked me how a car behaves.
       It is time to do the 20 t.km. Popal to the other team managers and masters. Not forced to wash a car (a net), the master himself fit to lift. Usually at the beginning of work has always come a little look. Long delay, so as not to stand «over the soul». The first question that the master burknul to my side, was this: «And you have a car in the garage SERVICE?» I do not immediately understand that the issue is addressed to me. Having surprised expression, as Saveliya Kramarova and also pomorgav eyes, said: «Well, if you call the organization« garage », then, yes, just in the garage!» Actually there are fond of the word, just that once «garage ». They all cars coming. Of the other salons to go, «Avelly» and «Pony» «killed» hang on the lifts. But such questions «head» shodu asked regular customers .... This case is not over. Since then I have set myself the task to make a retaliatory move, had asked for the filling. To do so, went to the main manager of the change, which call themselves pro «evil genius» (his name is also known, but ignored until without labels). The question was as follows: «Why does it take to pay for motor oil in the number ve 4.5 liters. When actually in the Carter 4l get a little less.?» Next to me was used tactic, which the man seized command. As a horn of plenty posypalis record of technological tables service standards of cars, fueling the current model, printed and signed almost by the president of Kia Motors, as well as the question of where you can learn about the exact amount of oil the system, except when self - replace oil? What is the warranty period is unacceptable. During the conversation had «otshit» a trainee, which is something talked about the occupancy Shrove filter. At this engine filter is installed bottom up, and fill it with oil (as the replacement for the Zhiguli, etc.) do not need to, just grease seal ring. And even if the filter would be needed to complete its volume amounted to no more than 100 ml. That does not cover the difference of 0.5 liters. Vrazumitelnogo answer, I never received, and continued the dispute could end up lifting of the guarantee. This time, TO ended suspiciously quickly, approx. for 1.5 hours. On leaving, I met the very grandfather-«parkovschika», helping someone to align to the position of geometry ...
       I must admit that the case of replacing oil, took place to be. When you run 17.5 t.km. I was required to travel to another city. The distance there and back, plus local travel could make approx. 1800 km. To go to have decent working conditions in the oil city did not like, besides that all the costs of his replacement would be 1500 rubles. And yet it is not known how many would have had to travel to Moscow after that. After returning to be a lengthy trip abroad, and do the 20 t.km. was going to return. Moreover, was the likelihood of exploitation car in my absence. The replacement was made on the special. Service for Korean cars, where I filled himself approx. 3.9 liters. Neraspechatannaya liters jerry can, bought in doves to 4 liters. still lies in the garage. Now I wait, when the guarantee is to come with their oil and to demonstrate the «evil genius» real oil system (tee-hee). Just have to wait a long time ...
       breakage and replacement. 1. The most significant breakage ever since then, I think disconnecting the drive from the CPR to «razdatke». So said at the service. Just as he could disconnected, or how this can say at this service? Mileage was approx. 6 tons km. A case was so ... chilly winter day, almost, that sat on the «belly» in a field in the region Nikolinoy mountains Rublevo Dormition directions. Before passing checks ukatannogo fresh snow on the strength, but apparently the mass of cars was incompatible with the surface. Front-wheel zarylis half and rear are free and firmly stood in the track. Attempts to switch to 4x4 or nothing. LED lights on the dashboard, but the front wheels are not cool. In general, the case in the evening, but around any motorized soul. Twice traveling Mercedes 500 \ 126. The driver, with the head without warning rolling in the torso, passing the first time at first sympathetic look. A passing note. one hour back, priotkryl window, and said: «Well, four, Bratan, sitting? But I have no cable ... », without waiting for my answer, left.
       I came apart at the Opel Frontera, 3-BO-kyo, was riding in the Institute for examination. In the suit, with tie, «spurs» from the pockets torchat. Got him some kapronovy cable, ostensibly designed to 2,5 tons and let koryachitsya. Complicate the situation so that there was no direct road had to pull at an angle. The first surrendered to a metal hook is not aware and full of tension. Once, securing the end of the cable with a hook for obrubkom proushinoy wheeled key twice more vomiting cable. In the end, after 10 minutes. victory was ours. When running a «4x4» slightly left to itself, even without the inclusion of down. In this situation regret not what the mechanism did not work, including 4x4, it is still half woes. A failure in that it was broken at precisely the moment when he was arhinuzhen, and because it is not included. As the service of «from non-use can also break». The phenomenon, incidentally, the technology is widespread. Solution. Periodically include 4x4 mode for a short straight section, approx. every 2 weeks.
       2. Voditsya Sportazhem for one disease. By 20 t.km. are beginning to leak dampers. At the 17 th thousand replaced the rear left. Under the guarantee has not hit since on such things free replacement applies only within six months after purchase. Solution. If you are beginning to leak more than 2 and damper, replace all of the new company (I know that makes Kayyaba and Bilshtayn). Rear and Shrove soydut and forward recommend gas - one place and forget for the next 80 thousand km Of course if that does not go to Peter on rails. If podtekanie reflected in the unit case (as I), it can be put back home. But the fact that this not be repeated again after 20 thousand kilometers.
       3. I do not know what to attribute the problem to lyuchkom benzobaka. By disease or imperfect design. Lyuchok design is conceived so that in extreme opened slightly does not reach the body. There is a protector. His work could disturb the mud and water freeze in winter or «pistoletchiki» at gas stations. Faced a whole. Because of these reasons violated geometry of attachment and lyuchok skew. There are big gaps between lyuchkom and body. Once straighten this protector is one of the following winter. A second time, just removed this restraint, after «pistoletchik» Lukoyl'ovskoy at filling stations too much pressure on lyuchok, trying to put in extreme situation. Now ezzhu without this limiter, lyuchok opens completely, but the mechanism of attachment with open impinges on the body. No paint chips were not seen and not feel discomfort. Solution. In fact, several of whom as love. Zapravlyatsya himself, or every time to prevent «pistoletchika» of the malfunction of the lyuchka and all of the opening \ closing perform independently. (my selection) Regularly clean the mud from. (still at the filling station minimized) Immediately remove the limiter, which skewed the entire happening. (or may not happen, M. anyone lucky or more, this problem has been solved).
       4. I am gauge light bulb and a passing beam. There are no comments. Solution. For the greatest period of light could be home instead, put the light bulb company Hella, Sales saw. Stojat twice as expensive, but lifetime MB More of the car.
       5. After the second autumn had to clean the engine heater. At the fan rolled up Maple Leaf a few. 20 min. work. Solution. Theoretically, you can pave marlyu between motor wiper and the engine compartment. But less itself sometimes will simply open the hood and remove the entire autumn defoliation, where he is. And at the Moika ask to get washed all the joints. But strong pressure could push the leaves, etc. even further.
       Features. Do not affect the running properties. 1. In the week after the purchase noticed that the end of the exhaust pipe is situated too close to the edge of the bumper. Going gases, as it seemed to me at the moment in time could significantly «burn» paint on the bumper. And the trumpet is the desire to have lyumpenov zapihnut a piece of garbage. With all the perceived problems are not confronted, but simply took into account the risk. Similar machines with «charred» bumper not seen, but the problem with «sabotage the trumpet» with the standard pipe remains. Solution. Rear of the pipe cut approx. at 15 cm «Bulgarian». Installed nozzle-«double-barreled gun». All the exhaust comes from the bumper and into the tube has simply nothing zapihnesh. Actually want to replace the entire exhaust system on the straight without a catalyst. Stops only the likelihood of withdrawal from the guarantee.
       2. Stickers on the front door. At the silver and red background body looks nothing yet. But on a black background color inscription «4WD» looks cheap and vulgar. At the beginning thought that soon they spoil heaps. But after a year, only the driver's door was a small spot of paint detached from the bonded bases. And this framework probably not Unstick ever. In their Unstick service offered at a price of $ 20 per unit. Personal opinion is. We have to unstick them as soon after purchase or not unstick ever. Since If they remove the already threadbare body will be allocated new neobvetrennaya paint.
       3. I thought that the bumper made of such material, which is not painted, but simply otpolirovan. Since it already has a deep chipped, about the origin of which is to say something above and shows that the structure of plastic as a uniform. Generally bumper design in a good sense of oak. When reasonable impact damage would be minimal.
       inexplicable. Over the entire period and was unable to find a reasonable explanation periodically emerging sulfuric smell from the exhaust pipe. Alternatively, at the beginning of a new catalyst was suspected. While the new, must prirabotatsya. It has been 1.5 years, the smell all the same. First, that thought itself, and gave an explanation for the service, certainly the quality of fuel. At one time called for TNCs. Depending on fuel, a recurrent indicator «Check Engine». At TO 20 t.km. replaced the spark plugs (standard). Since then, over 2500 kilometers. first turn «Check Engine». I went to the service. They removed the candles on a black thief with lead deposits. Calls the hotline TNCs, to those I have traveled refueling mobile laboratories. The quality was within GOST, but the regulations in 1993 Since then, I call, ostensibly from the central office (can any student a penny, in fact, phone stolovki), I apologize. Long explained that the fuel from the plant goes relevant standards, a modern engines are not always able to digest it. This is 2.5 months at the wheel just BP. What can be better found in Moscow do not know. Unless brother podgonit fresh benzinchika directly from the factory. Smell all the same. I've heard absolutely absurd explanations. Type that education smell of sulfur tinge occurs in contact and then mixing exhaust gas discharged from layers of the atmosphere during the period of low pressure ... I can certainly continue, but will have to write formulas ...
       the shortcomings. 1. Of course, a weak engine. MB for a short version of it, and enough, but Grande have something pomoschnee. Ideally, of course 2.5 V6 from Madzhentisa, but place limits under the hood. You can, and 2 liters. 136 hp from the same Maji. From the weakness of engine and related expense: the city 14,5-15 liter. in summer and 15-17 liters. in the winter. The route within 10-12 liters. depending on the boot. Clear: in a car with unbalanced parameter of body weight \ engine power (koim and is Sporteydzh) dviglu be «sleeping» more fuel per unit distance than the same model car, but with a more powerful engine. Should reservation that winter in the parking lot (if I can not leave the car) in tempr. below -5 engine is not wilderness. As a result, costs «cheap», then warm than cold. Although the time for idle too has its limits.
       2. Neprodumanna winter ventilation. Continuing steam side glass. A weak stream of hot air from side to side window blinds. Because of the inability to cut central shutters in the face hurts the flow of hot air. Solution. The brother suggested zakleit these central blinds skotchem, as do old «gazelisty» cabin Gazeley. Was used PAINTING Scotch with a non-aggressive adhesive coating. The decision has been brilliant! Power side flows increased substantially in person is not blowing. The invention take a second winter, periodically changing the dry Scotch. After half an hour with no ventilation included steam, even the side windows luggage. Although temperature is usually not povorachivayu next half red zone. Once a friend last winter, sat down with me in a cold car, immediately transferred to a maximum heat control. I have not noticed, and as usual at the beginning to warm the passenger compartment, put the fan in the 2 nd speed ... After 15 min. We sat down as chief film Ace Ventura ch.2, if anyone remembers when a mechanical rhino broken fan, and the hero Jim Curry from the heat started, all with a lift. If someone is not watching, simply skazhu - the heat proshib through sweat jacket.
       3. When using omyvatelya glass at a speed exceeding 60 km. \ h. Water flows in the driver's side window. However, a counter wind flow is already dirty liquid spreads across the side glass, significantly undermining the review of side-mirrors. Solution. Set kit vetrovikov. True, their performance I am not sure, do not set. Confused attachment to be used. But if to confirm their effectiveness and «persistence», is sure to put.
       4. Poor quality paint reylingov on the roof. At the junction of beams with the holders of paint gradually vspuchivaetsya. Recently, at the Moika, from the head, broke the first piece. Solution. Wait until oblezet to indecent kind, and recolor normal paint.
       5. Automatic antenna. Mounted on the right wing at right angles. There when you turn on the radio, and the same is at shutdown or with the inclusion of CD-changer. At a speed of 80 km. \ H. and a significant deviation from the center line. After 100 km. \ H. «Sausage» so that it seems now it vydernet by the roots. Therefore, always add, and if there is no desire to go to silence include disk or tape. All of waiting until the break to be replaced by weedy, short black plastic carrying case. But stubbornly does not want to break. Sometimes the fray of mud cloth, but if a good mood, then «WD'shkoy» can besprent. Solution. Spend time searching than «machine», with a suitable design attachment. But work on the replacement will probably cost more of the antenna.
       6. Lack of full front mud-guards-vanes. Spray-suppression is continued rasshiritelya wheel arches, in the form of rigid fixed projection. Solution. Ezzhu, as it is, but formed in the winter snow and ice stalagmites on the sides of the bottom. Previously, the idea was this. Place a piece of colored «linoleum» type «Sparko», as the car à la «Street Racing». Will look cheap, but with sound installation by 95% perekroet release of mud from under the wheels.
       7. Neudobny block air flow. The most frequently used for «on the windscreen» and «chest». But to switch from one to another must undergo a «full circle» regimes. Solution. No. Only re-construction unit by the manufacturer.
       8. In winter, when tempr. -8 Or less completely freeze door locks. «Buttons» does not get out. If you can not open by «Production \ lifting» with alarm, the key opens the door luggage (you can open almost always), going inside and inside open the rear passenger door. The constant lubrication of locks and mechanisms of central lock, for removing the door panels, lubrication «WD-40» nothing. The de-locks never used. Always has been able to open out ways. At night, put in a warm garage. Solution. Carry with them approval.
       Conclusion. Still, it inomarka. If you forget how much it costs and do not chase for «Ponto» - doedesh where you want. Argued that a good new imported SUV is less than $ 20 thousand cost is unable to. Deny - can! The main feature (travel, the plant in any weather, not «live» in the service, not encumber expensive services) to comply fully. All work on something, even official, for real money. Lord, have the opportunity to buy H5, ML, etc., of course, not agitiruyu. But those who look for a working car tour buildings of secondary homes or winter trips to give ski, highly recommend. The right to be second or third car in the family deserves absolute precision. About a saying that if an opportunity to buy the SUV class above, this car will not sell. Thousands of up to 100 km. bring, but they look M. someone has to descend, even at the same stop.
       Thank you for your attention.
