#14 of 23 Re: No Heat at When Vehicle in Park or Neutral [fixmykia] by wknox Apr 17, 2008 (6:37 pm)
Replying to: fixmykia (Dec 19, 2007 5:17 am) I'm having the same problem it just started a couple month's ago. no matter how much antifreeze we put in it doesn't work. If we're driving after a while it works but. other then that you might as well run the a/c. does any one know what the problem is?????? help Replies to this message: mnkids2kias (Apr 19, 2008 6:24 am) pao (Apr 21, 2008 6:39 am) webbster (Jan 20, 2009 11:11 pm) marcog (Mar 18, 2009 4:17 am)

Replying to: wknox (Apr 17, 2008 6:37 pm) Okay, My wife has a 2003 Sorento EX. She experienced the same trouble and they found the following and I was surprised.   The resevour tank apparently is pressurized in opposition to other makes where it is vented to the atmosphere. It sounded like the dealer was stretching when they told me she needed a new resivor. but walla that solved it. I t sound though that now that it is out of warranty I will be dropping big dollars when it happens again. Sounds like a persistant problem. Replies to this message: pao (Apr 21, 2008 6:39 am)

Replying to: mnkids2kias (Apr 19, 2008 6:24 am) the coolant resevoir..if that is what you are referring too is ease to replace....about $80-100 for the part itself from the dealer........labor kills ya......install it yourself!!

Replying to: wknox (Apr 29, 2008 7:21 pm) not so much on how its positioned as to how it is made...the OEM ones causing the provlems have ribbed bottom..the new ones are smooth...seems the ribbed moldings have a tendency to crack and leak over time...
#19 of 23 Kia Spectra heating & AC problems by gail15 May 21, 2008 (4:12 pm)
We have a Kia Spectra 2004. Last year the air conditioning stopped blowing through the vents after 30 minutes of a 5 hour trip. We can hear the blower still working but it only emits a trickle of cool air through the vent. If we turn it off for 30 minutes or switch to vents with no AC the blower works just fine. I might think it was freezing up on us but it does the same thing in the winter when we have it on heat. The heated air just stops coming into the cabin after 30 minutes and we freeze. Does anyone have a answer for this problem? Dealership says they haven't heard of anyone with this problem. They have been unable to recreate the conditions anytime we have taken it in. Any ideas?

Replying to: mart3 (Jun 08, 2008 1:00 pm) We have been told it sounds like it might be the Blend Door Actuator that is causing the problem. Our mechanic is getting the part from the dealership.

Replying to: webbster (Jan 20, 2009 11:11 pm) My wife's 03 had the same problem, but the water temp gauge was slow to come up to the normal heat range. I changed the thermostat. It has rubber seals on it that were damaged/worn. It heats up quickly now.
