Replying to: erussell1 (Aug 02, 2006 6:35 am)  It seems that when the bolt snapped, it broke the crank shaft as well, which drove a piston into the head.  Kia is going to replace the engine (now going on week 4) As soon as I get it back, I am dumping this piece of Korean Junk We will see what happens!

Hi, I wanted to change the differential fluid. I have a 05 EX with limited slip. I cannot find the the gear oil that KIA reccomends in my local auto part stores. I stopped in a KIA dealership that also sells Chrysler and they wanted to give me Mopar gear oil. (They said its what they use in the Kia's). Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Replying to: jxd (Aug 05, 2006 3:38 am) most high quality gear oils is listed for limited slip diffs on the container you can't get the factory fill stuff very easly but any gl-5 spect should be acceptable, but with kia warrenty you never know make sure the rear of the vehicle is 8 inches higher than the front to put the proper amount in, you can't if the vehicle is level, as per kia service instructions don't worry about the dark color of the fluid that you drain out of the rear diff (if limited slip) orignal it has grafite in it remember to protect your warrenty you must change your front and rear diff fluids every 15 mounths or 15,000 miles, read you owners manual carefully under "severe service" since nobody qualifies under "normal service" and i got that right from a kia area rep !

I have a 2005 Kia Sorento EX I recently purchased the vechile with 6800 miles on dealer demo. During the Purchase they told be the vechile had a sticky ignition switch with the key. On certain time after you put the vechile in park and turn off the key the key only will stop a the accessory position you cannot turn the key complete off or remove it. So i took the vechile in they replace the switch as so as i get it home it still does the same thing does not tuen off. I have try to turn the steering wheel does not work. The only way to get it out is to crank the vechile up again put it in rev and the back to drive. I thinking the key switch might have a shifter adjustment need? any ideas?

not being able to remove the key from the ignition....there was the service bulliten on this about enlarging the adjustment slot for the shifter cable, you can replace all the key switches in the world and it will not fix the problem, why don't kia service depts read their own service bullitens |
