#6 of 8 Re: 2005 Kia Sportage AC trouble! [ebennet] by lmp4 May 31, 2008 (6:06 am)
Replying to: ebennet (May 25, 2008 8:59 am) ... replaced the AC motor (which was clogged with ice).   YOu mean the blower motor? I cannot see how it could be covered with ice, please explain... ....One thing is not clear: does the air flow change during that event? Ice forming on the AC evaporator could be a factor, meaning the detent valve being set at too low a pressure and causing too low a temperature, hence icing....and it would then restrict the air flow...then it might indeed be a "common trouble" with that series of vehicle, as the dealer said....with the consequence as he describes about taking off the dash...but is that a fact...I do not know, anyway, it seems that changing the motor did not solve anything, did it? ....when it works, do you have the feeling that the air is VERY cold..? that is, colder than you have experienced with other ac equipped vehicles. That is a tricky question, not very precise as a "feeling"...but if it verifies something you might have tought of, it would point in the direction stated above. It would be a gross mistake from the manufacturer then .... I'll ask the question to the local dealer here...just to see their reply...also, will check for any report in CONsumer's report and other agencies...

Replying to: ebennet (May 25, 2008 8:59 am) Folks, I had a problem with A/C getting cold then sputtering out. Landed in Antigonish Nova Scotia after traveling from Calgary. There is a Temperature sensor under the dash that needs to be replaced, we also experienced visible cold vapor from the vents, this took about four hours to replace and was covered by warranty. The dealer in Antigonish was great and informed me my timing belt should be replaced at 96K, on the way back from Cape Breton I had 98K on my vehicle and had the belt replaced for $400
