#3893 of 4012 06 Sorento altimeter by retired96 Feb 27, 2007 (7:32 pm)
I bought a 06 Sorento EX 3 weeks ago and the only problem I have is the altimeter. I live at a elevation of about 1600 feet and as I drive around the altimeter usually will display -200-300 ft. I went to my sons last weekend where the elevation is 40 feet above sea level and the altimeter was reading minus 1300 ft. Does anyone know how to set the altimeter to read the proper altitude.

Replying to: retired96 (Feb 27, 2007 7:32 pm) its in the owners manual..the reason in the swing is the altmeter records the change from point A to point B... not the actual level...you have to reset it every time if you are going to use it...its a button pushing drill to reset it..I just dont remember the order from memory...as I seldom use the feature.....
#3895 of 4012 Aftermarket CAI and Iat sensor by afrayedknot Mar 06, 2007 (9:43 pm)
I have an 06 Sorento 3.5L V6 that I have just installed an CAI with a K&N filter. It sounds strong when you put your foot into it but actually only increased hp by maybe 5 on low end. Now I also bought a module that plugs into the Iat(intake air temperature sensor) but am unable to locate to install. It's stated to increase 30-40hp along with K&N filter and premium gas, is there anyone that can give me a diagram of where this sensor is? Thanks for your help will let you know if module does what it claims. Richard Replies to this message: pao (Mar 08, 2007 5:59 am)

Replying to: afrayedknot (Mar 06, 2007 9:43 pm) your after market CAI is causing the wooshing sound.....I assume you removed the stock airbox (resonnator) when you installed the CAI....that sound is normal.....and your HP gain...if any will be minimal......what did you pay for this "chip/module"....I highly doubt that the module will provide that kind of HP without a ECM retune....and adding premium gas is a waste of $$ IMHO....most power chips run in the 150-200 range or higher......just curious
#3897 of 4012 drive shaft vibration? by lucient Mar 11, 2007 (7:57 am)
Has anyone found the solution to the vibration problem that happens at 2500 rpm? My sorento starts to vibrate at 2400 rpm(no matter what the speed) then dissapears at around 3000 rpm. The problem is that I have to drive 75 mph on the highway in order for the vibration to stop. Sound like a balance problem in the drive shaft to me.This has been a common problem over the years for many sorento owners. Some people have mentioned replacing the rear axle bushing to rotating the drive shaft itself but has anyone found the solution?

Replying to: lucient (Mar 11, 2007 7:57 am) what engine do you have ? and is it a 2wd or 4wd ? and if 4wd is it a TOD system or part time ? it makes a difference in diagnoising Replies to this message: lucient (Mar 12, 2007 12:36 pm) taomerni (Mar 12, 2007 12:52 pm) lucient (Mar 12, 2007 5:27 pm)

Replying to: beyond_help (Mar 11, 2007 10:13 am) I have the 3.8L V6 4wd TOD. Are you experiencing the same problem? Replies to this message: taomerni (Mar 12, 2007 12:52 pm) lucient (Mar 12, 2007 5:27 pm)

Replying to: lucient (Mar 12, 2007 12:36 pm) I have an 03 that has had the vibration at 70 mph . 68 was good and over 72 , but at 70 it vibrated on a trip this summer . I do not know if it still does it, as we don't hit the highway to often with our Sorento . At 55 we get 22 mpg ... at 70 we get like 18 . Replies to this message: lucient (Mar 12, 2007 5:27 pm)
#3901 of 4012 no vib but noise by beyond_help Mar 12, 2007 (1:49 pm)

#3902 of 4012 Re: drive shaft vibration? [taomerni] by lucient Mar 12, 2007 (5:27 pm)
Replying to: taomerni (Mar 12, 2007 12:52 pm) Mine is very smooth until I hit that 2500 rpm mark. Then the vibration can really be felt through the foot pedal and stearing wheel. It feels normal again once the rpm go past 3000 or the next gear kicks in. This vibration can be felt in each gear even at slow speeds. On the highway, once my speed is over 75, its very smooth with absolutely no vibration. The service manager thought the vibration was caused by part of the exhaust being rusted through. He even replaced most of it under warranty but it made no difference in the end. I'm going in to see a kia tech. on wednesday. Hope he can help.
