#593 of 607 2007 kia sportage battery replacement by keebler1 Sep 27, 2009 (5:02 pm)
So I went to replace the battery today and discovered the factory battery had no helpful info on it. No stores seem to have any info on this car's battery either. Any suggestions outside of taking it to the dealership?

Replying to: pnarido (Sep 20, 2009 6:08 am) Kia recommends changing the bekt after 100,000 km, and some who did not got stranded in the middle of nowhere...but others went much longer than that. I suggest it has to do with the kind of use the car goes through. IF one revs the engine to 6000 cold all the time on starts, the toll on the belt is much worse than one who run conservatively and never exceeds 4500......Mine just passes 107,000km....and I'm ordering a complete kit on ebay, that comes with gaskets, water pump, idler and tensioner. As I do not expect to run more than 4000km till next summer, I think I'll wait till then.

#598 of 607 Brakes and roters by bethinbr Oct 25, 2009 (9:40 pm)
Hi, I haven't posted for a long time, but now I have a couple of questions. Has anyone had to have new front brake pads and their roters turned on a 05 Sportage with about 40,000 miles on it? Also I have been hearing noises when I brake, hit a bump or turn. It sounds like maybe the shocks but I don't know. These issues have just recently come up and I wanted opinions before I took it to the dealer. I already spent $180 to replace the front brakes and turn the roters.

Replying to: keyop (Aug 30, 2009 5:50 pm) My 20 y.o. son has a 2000 Sportage with the same problems which has worsened to loss of power at 60 mph and rapid decel to about 40...   I have done the coil packs, wires, plugs, fuel filter, injector cleaner, better fuel, valve cover gasket, oil changes, timing belt, and main belt.   I was about to replace the air flow meter/sensor, but if that was of no use...   It may be time for a coffin and a boycott...   Ditto on frustrated sportage owner !

Replying to: rmeav8r (Oct 26, 2009 7:48 pm) Solved problem today.     It was the cats after all.   I am going to still check the fuel pressue.   But after the rear cat was cut off (it was clogged Really Bad) the sporty ran like a raped ape...or as much of a raped ape as it could!   Best O Luck M8s. God Bless America and Hell take Kia!

Replying to: bethinbr (Oct 25, 2009 9:40 pm) I usualy change brakes and rotors myself, the 2005 Sportage has one of the the beefiest rotors in the auto. industry. At a $180 you were treated very fairly, but you should also change your rear pads as they will be as worn as the front. Run your finger over the rear rotors and if they are smooth just have the pads replaced.   You should have the bolts checked for tightness on your front pads, this could cause noises if they havent been tightened properly.
