Kia Sportage, how does the four-wheel drive work? We deal with the drive of the sporting of different generations possible faults of the front wheels, their causes and solutions.

Signs of malfunction:car drives around.

Probable reason: The front wheel drive is damaged (Sls assembly). Front wheel drive failed (Sls)

Tools and materials: Fabric gloves, a set of heads and spanners, a set of screwdrivers, a container for the working fluid, anti-tottal stops, jack, support for the car, a thin chisel, a hammer, a soft metal simplestroke, a mounting blade.

Spare parts: Front wheel drive:

oil: for MCPP - SAE 75W-90 GL-4 (2.8 liter volume), for automatic transmission - SK ATF SP-III or DIAMOND ATF SP-III (6 liters).

1. Remove the protection of the crankcase and the protective mudguards of the engine.

2. Dry oil, transmission from the checkpoint.

3. Then remove the front wheel from the drive side, which is subject to removal.

Note. During unscrewing or tightening the nave nut, as well as nuts, which is attached to the wheel, the car must be all the wheels on the ground.

4. With the help of the jack, you should raise the car and install subheads under it.

5. Swelling the bent edges of the billet of the hub nut using a thin chisel and a hammer.

6. For several revolutions, unscrew the hub nut, while you should hold the hub from scrolling.

7. Fully unscrew the nave nut, then remove it from the shank of the outdoor shrus.

8. Unscrew two bolts that the body of the ball support is mounted to the twilty fist.

9. Having rejected the amortized front suspension rack to the side, the shank of the outdoor screen should be displayed from the hub of the front wheel.

Note. If it does not manage to remove the shank of the outdoor screen with their own efforts, then you can resort to the help of a hammer that should be applied not to strong shocks on the shank through the spacer made of wood or soft metal.

10. In the same way, the second front wheel drive from the opposite side of the car should be removed.

11. Using a mounting blade to discharge the shank of an internal screw from the semi-axis differential gear and remove the drive from the vehicle.

Note. Considering the fact that the gap between the body of an internal shrus and the CAT Carter is very small, then insert the end of the mounting blade will not be possible, so it is necessary to perform actions described in the instructions below:

Paragraph 1. By sending an acute part of the blade into the gap, with light blows of the hammer along the blade to drive it into the gap, while shouting the body of an internal screw from the crankcase of the checkpoint until the removal of the retaining ring of the shank shank with the semi-axis gear.

Paragraph 2. Then finally push the shank of the inner screw from the gear with the help of the same mounting blade.

Note. It should be monitored in order to fly to the assembly blade of the inner cut from the semi-axis gear, it is necessary to be very careful to prevent damage to the CATER CTP.

12. In the same way, perform a scope of the shank of the inner screw of the actuator of the second front wheel.

13. Replace the front wheel drive to a new one.

14. To perform the installation of the front wheel drive, first of all, to enter the slot shank of the exterior casing to the wheel hub. Then tighten the nave nut until it stops, but not to clamp it completely. After that, enter the shank slots of the front wheel drive of the front wheel drive into the semi-axle gland and rotate a bit of the drive shaft, so that the slots of the shank of the hinge and the semi-axle gear coincide.

15. Move the front suspension lever down.

16. A sharp movement of the shock absorber rack with a swivel fist to press the front wheel drive in the semi-axle gear until the first locking ring is fixed.

17. Connect the ball bearings of shock absorbing front suspension racks with swivel fists.

18. Similarly, perform the installation of the actuator of the second front wheel.

19. Run the mounting of the front wheels and tighten the nuts that they are attached, but should not be tightened completely.

20. Lower the car to the ground and tighten the hub nuts completely.

21. Fully tighten the fastening nuts of the front wheels.

22. Pour oil in the checkpoint taking into account the transmission type.

23. Mark the remaining previously removed items in the reverse order.

4.04.2017

In 1996, the release of the car Kia Sportyj began. At that time, there were no such machines in the model range of the brand, and the crossovers market, in fact, did not exist. However, the company has already clearly felt new trends that began to influence the automotive industry in Europe and Asia. Due to the rapid development of world car industry, the high continuity of brands and the transition of cars in a wide mainstream, the demand conjuncture changed, there was a need to introduce a new type of passenger car, which would have satisfied earlier, seemed incompatible requirements. Large and powerful all-wheel drive SUVs were roads in operation and maintenance. Their use for personal goals, especially in cities, turned out to be uncomfortable. The class of sedans and universal, possessed the possibilities for the capacity and position in localities with a non-ideal road surface and changeable weather conditions. Against this background, Kia's specialists decided to take part of the nascent and, as it turned out, a very promising niche, creating a modern roomy car with good handling, comfort level, high ground clearance and, most importantly, full-wheel drive.

Kia Sportage 2017 with full-wheel drive and diesel engine 2.0 CRDI

First generation

Kia Sportage of the first generation was still under the influence of the peculiarities that the SUVs of a more utilitarian class possess the framework of the body, in its running part and the transmission, some decisions were prevented from those who were his predecessor. But with the drive system, it was necessary to solve something. A permanent four-wheel drive for all four wheels for Sportyj was no longer needed, since the priority was not so much perpetrativity as the balance of opportunities, convenience and economy. Therefore, the crossover drive was implemented according to the part-time system. In this drive design, the rear axle is constantly connected, and the front can be connected temporarily if necessary. Kia Sportage 1 with this type of full drive showed itself on a light off-road, possessed a low fuel consumption and decent handling despite the high clearance. Due to the sufficiently soft suspension in the conditions of the city, the crossover possessed a good level of comfort. The disadvantages include:

  • PART-TIME system feature - you can not move along dry and solid coating in the full drive mode;
  • The low reliability of the hubs of the front wheels, they sometimes fail and the front actuator ceases to turn on;
  • The need to connect the front-wheel drive in manual mode;
  • Lack of locks, which reduces the possibilities of the car on off-road;

What is fraught with the purchase of KIA Sportage of the first generation?

Today, the KIA Sportage of the first generation KIA SUPORTAGE has already taken from the production of SUVs in our secondary market. This is not surprising, because their value with comparable consumer qualities is much lower than that of the collections in class. And among the proposals for used cars, there are not only cars of Russian origin, but also more packaged "Americans" or purebred "Koreans", having a rich equipment in their arsenal

Off-road model Sportrage from Korean automaker KIA debuted in 1993. For that time, the car had not only the original and quite attractive appearance, but also a comfortable salon. Until 1995, the car was produced with one three-door body. However, this version is the same as the option with the body of a convertible, a very rare guest in the Russian market.

The most massive five-door modification appeared only in 1995. An interesting fact, but the assembly of this car for three years was carried out in Germany, after which it was transferred to the enterprise "Avtotor" in Kaliningrad. In 1999, the model was subjected to a small exterior restyling, and the gamma of body modifications was replenished with the Grand version with the elongated rear breath and a significantly increased volume of the luggage compartment. After the new generation KIA Sportage in 2004, due to the sustainable demand for the old model, its release, including in Russia, continued for two more years.

Body and Salon

Already in the basic configuration, the car is equipped with a remotely controlled central lock, immobilizer, electric windows of the front and rear doors, vertical steering column adjustment, steering amplifier, electric outer mirrors and digital clock.

The corrosion of the body frame car is not so terrible in principle, but Sportage still rust. The first foci appear on the fourth-fifth year of operation in the lower parts of the doors and at the rear arches. Often, rust is hidden under a plastic body kit, such a favorite Korean manufacturers.

There are almost no complaints to the quality of the interior, except for the front panel on many copies with time begins to grow very much. And this annoying trouble is found both on cars produced before restyling and after. The main lack of a cabin, quite strongly affecting the crew comfort, is unimportant noise insulation. It is mainly due to the lack of modern noise absorbing materials in it. Due to the insufficiently well-thought-out system of ventilation of the cabin in crude weather, the rear, and frequent and front side windows are constantly misting.

Engine

The overwhelming majority of cars on the Russian secondary market is equipped with a four-cylinder 2.0-liter 16-valve gasoline engine with a capacity of 118 or 128 hp. In addition, on the machines released until 1999 in Korea, an eight-flaped gasoline engine was installed with a working capacity of 2.0 liters (95 hp). Diesel engines were only two - their own two-liter unit with turbocharging (83 hp) and 2.2-liter atmospheric, borrowed from the company Mazda (63 hp).

Motors installed on American copies of 2000-2002 issues are designed for more stringent environmental norms and, accordingly, more arrogantly to the quality of fuel, rather than options for the Russian market. Therefore, some problems may occur with the nutrition system of machines that arrived from the North American market.

On all engines, engine oil and oil filter prescribed to replace every 12 thousand km. At the same time, the engine filter is also recommended to change the engine filter (when driving under strong dusting conditions, with long periods of work at idle or at a permanent operation in a megalopolis, the frequency of this procedure should be reduced to 6 to 8 thousand km).

Based on the Russian specific operation of the car, the service specialists strongly recommend replacing the gear belt in the timing drive every 60 to 80 thousand km, and not through 100 thousand km, as indicated in the manufacturer's recommendations. Approximately 100 thousand km of mileage begin to tap the gap hydraulic components in the valve drive. This malfunction is treated only by their replacement.

In order to avoid engine overheating (it is especially true of gasoline-tangled motors) Once in two years it is necessary to wash the radiators of the cooling system and air conditioning, dismantling the bumper and one of the radiators. In the case of frequent overheating, it is necessary to replace the cooling system pump. The replacement of the coolant itself must be carried out every 40 - 50 thousand km.

Spark plugs in gasoline engines regularly serve 50 thousand km, but it is better to reduce this period to 30 thousand km of mileage.

On diesel engines every 60 thousand km, you must check the incandescent candles and, if necessary, install new ones.

Transmission

An either five-speed mechanical KP was installed on the model, or a four-stage automatic. Both types of transmission differ in durability and sometimes do not require interventions of the entire service life.

The KIA Sportage applies a scheme of a all-wheel drive transmission with a rigid front bridge. Due to the lack of an inter-axis differential, the drive on all the wheels can be used only in off-road conditions or on a holedice. With a large mileage, noise from the chain transmission may appear in the dispensing box. Most often, it does not progress over time and is considered safe.

The grip in the transmission with a manual box serves to 150 thousand km. To the same period, the gland in the gear shift drive can be causing. Change oil in all transmission units, regardless of its design, it is necessary every 40 thousand km. By the way, the syringe of the contamination of the front cardan shaft is recommended for each maintenance.

The clutches installed in the hubs of the front wheels on KIA Sportage are three types: Mechanical (To connect the front axle, the driver must turn the coupling checkbox), free move (turn on and disconnected automatically due to the difference in the angular drive speeds and wheels) and vacuum (triggered for Pressure change account). The latter are considered unreliable - due to leakage of leaks, their bearings are out of order after 20 thousand km. The seating places of needle bearings are affected - where the shaft is included in the hub. In this case, the node is changing only entirely, therefore it makes sense at the first repair to replace the vacuum hubs to mechanical, which are considered more durable. It is also worth remembering that for the complete shutdown of the front bridge of the transfer of the dispensing box selector into the monolrode mode is not enough to ensure complete opening of the coupling, it is necessary to stop and pass a couple of meters back. The inclusion of the full drive mode is recommended only when the car is in a static state, otherwise the mechanism breakdown will be inevitable.

Actually, the cargo of the car is very modest, despite the relatively decent (200 mm) clearance and the presence of a lower row in the transmission, confidently overcomes Sportage only small hillocks and brodes.

On the part of the Korean build machines with "automata" in the rear axle, the differential of increased friction was installed, which poured special oil. Cars with mechanical gearboxes are usually equipped with bridges without any locks.

Chassis

Kia Sportage chassis has a traditional design for most all-wheel drive machines. Front suspension is an independent spring, rear - dependent and spring, too. The top front pendant lever assembled with the ball support is almost eternal. The lower one often has to be changed due to the risen axis of the stabilizer rack (unnecessary assembly). Hinge rack serves about 150 thousand km. But the bushings of the stabilizer, as well as the rear shock absorbers, barely grabs 40 thousand km of mileage. The remaining parts of the chassis, with the correct operation, it is easily worried about more than 100 thousand km, and the rear suspension levers are even 200 thousand. With frequent trips on broken roads with serious luggage in the trunk, the rear springs break through extreme thin coats, and the front sends. Steering thrust usually be replaced after 100 thousand km. By the way, it is necessary to be careful on the off-road: when trying the front suspension, the steering traction may just break away! The steering is equipped with a waterwater, and the problem with it often occurs on copies until 1999 release. The reason is the poor-quality manufacturer of the "reverse" tube of the hydraulic agent, as a result of which the connecting elements between it and the hose occurs.

Brake system

The model is equipped with front disc and rear drum braking mechanisms. When the front pads are replaced, it is necessary to clean and lubricate their guides, and each time each second is to remove the rear drums and check the operation of the mechanism of the automatic lifting. Usually, the front brake pads are wear out when running at 30 - 40 thousand km. Brake discs require replacement to 60 to 70 thousand km, but with an unfavorable coincidence, they can be blocked after 15-20 thousand km. At dorestayling cars, when run 100 - 150 thousand km, the rear brake hoses could appear. In 1999, the node was upgraded, and the defect disappeared. The liquid in the brake system is subject to replacement every 40 thousand km.

On parts of cars of the first years of release in the rear axle gearbox, a separate rotational sensor was installed, associated with the electronic brake control unit. When blocking the rear wheels, the electronics dropped the pressure in the rear contour of the brake system - the extension between the ABS system and the mechanical pressure regulator (the people called the "sorcerer"). Later, the car got two additional sensors on the front wheels. Both options work gently and accurately, despite age, but the sensor connector on the gearbox can be broken off on the road, since it does not protect it.

Electrical equipment

The electrician in the car is quite reliable, but the floor is better to keep dry - the engine control unit is located under the legs of the front passenger. On some modifications, due to the entry of moisture under the trim, the front driver's door took place a short circuit of the power window control unit. From dampness can refuse the lighting of the cabin and the regular immobilizer. To restore the efficiency of electrical equipment for a short time, sometimes it is enough to dry the salon. However, it helps it for a while - most often the submissive block still fails. High-voltage wires are subject to replacement when running 100 thousand km. With a large mileage, the contacts of the battery wires occurs, which leads to an increase in resistance and a voltage drop in the chain. The result is required to replace the terminals.

Finally, we can say that in the secondary market KIA Sportage of the first generation has a clear advantage over competitors - this is the price!

New cars Kia Sportyj are equipped with a modern all-wheel drive system called Dynamax. This advanced installation automatically traces and analyzes driving conditions, predicting the requirements for drives. The transmission of the car is configured in advance, depending on the complexity of the road surface. A four-wheel drive at Kia Sportage is different from other systems that react to the conditions that have already developed. Let's figure out how a four-wheel drive works at Kia Sportage.

The Dynamax setting consists of an intelligent control unit that is constantly analyzing the data coming from controllers. The block adjusts the torque using the coupling of the electro-hydraulic structure. The application at Kia Sportage of the new Dynamax system made it possible to make the process of changing the car's work, depending on the road surfaces, intuitive and transparent.

Crossovers of this model with full-wheel drive are manufactured with both gasoline and diesel engine. If we consider in detail how a full-wheel drive is working on Kia, to start learning the system from the electronic unit located on the panel from the left side under the facing material. The block collects data, including information on the current load on the motor (throttle sensor), the speed of all wheels of the car, the degree of rotation of the wheels. Also, the electronic unit receives information from the block responsible for the anti-lock system. Rear-wheel drive in Kia Sportage is connected by means of an electromagnetic clutch, located in front of the rear axle differential.

In this car there are two all-wheel drive modes consisting of an automatic version and blocking mode. With automatic mode, the rear axle is connected only if the ECU is needed. While riding on a normal road, Kia Sportyj works like a classic front-wheel drive car. The special switch activates the lock mode. The button, depending on the year of release of the car, is located on the control panel, to the left of the steering wheel, or in the center of the central tunnel, near the gear lever.

When a constant four-wheel drive is turned on at Kia Sportage, the warning lamp on the dashboard lights up with orange. The blocking mode transmits half the torque to the rear wheels. Its inclusion is possible at a speed not exceeding forty kilometers per hour. When the car begins to go with a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, there is a phased shutdown of the rear axle. With an increase in speed, not ten kilometers, the rear axle turns off completely.

When the speed decreases, the same process occurs in the reverse order. In the speed range from forty to thirty kilometers per hour, the torque transmitted to the rear axle increases to the power on the full drive. Deactivation of the locking mode is performed by re-pressing the button.

On the instrument panel screen Kia Sportage, not only the control lamp, indicating the transition to the lock mode, but also a sensor that signals the presence of problems in the nodes of the all-wheel drive system. If there is a breakdown, a red light will turn around.

On the models of Kia Sportage, there is a 4WD system, consisting of a transfer box, a cardan shaft and an electromagnetic coupling. In such a system, the torque is distributed between the axes with the help of an electromagnetic clutch, to which the dispensing box transmits rotation by means of a cardan shaft.
