#1878 of 1990 Cost for Dome Light Diode Replacement by howardskid May 25, 2008 (3:17 pm)
I'm just out of warranty. Does anyone have an idea what the dealers are charging for this replacement, or whether it's something an owner can do himself?
#1879 of 1990 Suspension upgrade kit by sampson3199 May 27, 2008 (5:27 am)
My brand new LX CRDi feels every bump in the road and transfers them through to every passenger and the driver.It also bounces and judders. I am wondering if anyone can recommend a bolt-on suspension upgrade kit that can make life bearable in a country with lousy highways??? It seems a great car in most respects...very economical even though the trip computer doesn't seem to have a clue what is going on!! Also the clutch engages about 3 mm above the floor...is this normal? Thanks for any help....

Replying to: beyond_help (May 23, 2008 11:51 am) I had to replace this part last year and am not sure that it was replaced with this newly designed/improved part. Regardless, I paid over $1000 for the service and do not see how they KIA can now do the service for those who have not had this done yet and not compensate those who have! Anyone out there who is out lots of coin for this service - what to do about this! I will check with the dealer who did the work to make sure that the part they put in my car is this approved/improved part.

Replying to: esj1 (May 27, 2008 7:06 am) I just had my 04 in yesterday at the dealer for an oil change and was informed about the recall for the ICV. The part was replaced. Thank god that I wasn't having any problems with that yet! I just wonder why it takes Kia so long to notify customers about recalls! I have had almost my whole engine replaced because of the crankshaft bolt breaking(of course before the recall). Then having to have the bolt replaced again because it was not recalled until after I had mine replaced. I finally received a recall notice about 3 months after the second replacement. If it were not for the fact that I have to have all my work done, even oil changes, done at the dealer, I guess I would never hear about the recalls!

#1882 of 1990 Anti-freeze coolant hose connector leak by lok888 Jun 05, 2008 (9:03 am)
This happened in about a month ago. Everything is fixed now.   I thought I had a leak in the coolant reservoir again in my '03 Sorento (72,000 miles). I replaced the reservior at my buddy's garage. Then it leaked again.... coolant level was way low (below the LOW mark). I could see the coolant was dripping on the exhaust pipe.... like cooking oil in a hot pan.   I returned to my mechanic few days later and he found a leak in the coolant hose connector. The parts was like $40 but I paid $120 for labor. The leaking area was hard to see. The hose was even hard to reach. He had to remove the surge tank, windshelid wipers & motors, air filter box. Well, no more leak.

#1884 of 1990 Re: New owner of used 03 Sorento [tbeautybella] by lok888 Jun 12, 2008 (8:51 am)
Replying to: tbeautybella (Jun 09, 2008 8:07 pm) 2003 Sorento has air bag warning light for driver side only. Mine was on and dealer replaced the clock spring inside the steering wheel column under warranty. Did you buy yours from a dealer? Replies to this message: tbeautybella (Jun 18, 2008 2:19 pm)
#1885 of 1990 03 sorento timing belt by buddyridesagai Jun 13, 2008 (4:28 am)
I was told that I should be changing my timing belt before I hit 103,000 km on the SUV. I have been checking around and the cost would vary from $500 to $700 as for estimates from various garages. So I was hoping there was a manual out there or someone would be able to point me in the right direction as to where I could get the manual or at least tell me how to change the belt. thanks all.

Replying to: zowwie (May 08, 2008 10:16 am) What was the name of the system you installed in your Sorento? And what year is yours? Have you had any problems since installing the system in your Sorento in regards to the HHo system or mechanical from the conversion of yours.
#1887 of 1990 Re: 03 sorento timing belt [buddyridesagai] by lok888 Jun 16, 2008 (6:32 am)
Replying to: buddyridesagai (Jun 13, 2008 4:28 am) Timing belt is a replacement item at 60,000 mile (or 96,000 km) intervals. If the timing belt is letting go and cause damage to the engine, Kia (powertrain warranty) will not cover it.   I replaced the timing belt (and drive belts) and did the 60,000 miles service at 64,000 miles last fall for my '03 Sorento. I paid $860 at a local shop. My mechanic also replaced the timing belt tensioner.
