What is the automatic Kia Sportage 3. What is the gearbox on the new Kia Sportage

In this article I will briefly outline what most often breaks down on a car. Kia sportage 3, model 2010-2016, factory designation Sl or Sle. I work at a service station and have practical experience in this matter. Here we will describe not only typical "diseases" of the sportage, but also methods of their treatment. The article is intended to save the owner of such a car from hours of searching for information on sections of automobile forums. It will also be useful for those who are just going to buy a used sportswear, because it is important to understand what should be checked when buying. If I suddenly missed something, write in the comments.

Four-wheel drive does not work!

A very common malfunction in the 3rd generation Sportage is a breakdown of the all-wheel drive system. It occurs even when the car is operated exclusively as an urban SUV, without using the all-wheel drive blocking function. After all, even if you do not press the 4WD lock button, the control unit automatically engages the rear axle at moments of sharp acceleration when starting off, or when the front wheels slip. The torque is constantly redistributed by the ITM unit between the front and rear wheels in a proportion from 100% - 0% to 50% - 50%, respectively.

There are two faults with all-wheel drive on the Sportage:

• breakage of the all-wheel drive (FD) coupling;
• corrosion of the splined connection between the gearbox (gearbox) and the transfer case;

Moreover, the second malfunction occurs much more often than the first.

Malfunction of the PP engagement clutch

All-wheel drive clutch, Sportage; 1 - clutch pack, 2 - pump

It appears as follows: no connection rear wheels, even in 4WD lock mode (i.e. when the button is pressed), while the 4WD system malfunction lamp on the instrument panel is on. It is important that the PTO shaft rotates during this process!

In general terms, the clutch is a conventional multi-plate clutch system that is compressed under oil pressure. The pressure is generated by a pump attached to the coupling housing.

Error codes "P1832 Clutch Thermal Overstress Shutdown" or "P1831 Clutch Thermal Overstress Warning" appear. Here is a detailed description of what exactly breaks down in this case and how you can repair it.

This happens especially often when the coupling overheats, with prolonged slip. Or with frequent use of 4WD lock mode. But this mode is intended only for short-term use in an area with difficult road conditions... Do not drive for a long time with the 4WD lock button pressed.

The problem is solved by replacing the PP clutch assembly. The part is not cheap, but there are firms that provide coupling repair services. These services are easy to find on the internet.

Another possible breakdown is a malfunction of the clutch pump itself. In this case, error code P1822 or P1820 occurs. On this issue, KIA even issued a service bulletin, according to which of. the dealer must replace the clutch assembly.

If the car is not under warranty, you need to replace the pump separately, which will be much cheaper. Only the new pump has already been modified and requires the purchase of a wiring.

Part Numbers: 4WD Clutch Pump - 478103B520, pump wiring 478913B310

The price for a pump with wiring is approximately 22,000 rubles.

If you are buying a used Sportage, be sure to check the car for these problems. Repair is quite expensive, it consists of the prices for differential parts (approx. 20,000 rubles) and the cost transfer case($ 600 used price) and, of course, work on removing the gearbox and replacing parts (up to 20,000 rubles).

Do not engage / difficult to engage gears on a manual transmission, or extraneous noise

This disease begins to manifest itself with a characteristic noise from the gearbox, which is heard on a cold, when the engine is running on Idling... The service bulletin for this problem prescribes the replacement of the synchronizer rings for the 4th, 5th and 6th gears of the manual transmission.

Sometimes the reason may be in the "synchronization" of the 3rd gear and the corresponding gear. The reason is specifically determined after disassembling the box.

If the synchronizers are not replaced in time, more serious consequences may occur - the fur. damage to the teeth of the gears of the gears, which entails their replacement, and, consequently, more expensive repairs.

The cost of work usually costs up to $ 300. Plus the necessary spare parts.

The car does not drive, a strong grinding in the area of ​​the right wheel, a malfunction of the intermediate shaft

The problem is similar to the one described above with four-wheel drive. Rotting out the spline connection between the right-hand drive shaft and the inner CV joint. This happens due to the ingress of water through the oil seal (or rather the boot). Further, corrosion does its job, the splines weaken and completely cut off. When the splines of the flush are cut off completely, the car will be able to reach the service only when the all-wheel drive is on, because as a result of the differential operation, all the torque of the front axle will go to the right side.

Corrosion of the splines of the flush shaft and drive, right, Sportage 3

Repair price: ramval 4 500 rubles., CV joint right up to 45 000 rubles.

As in the case with the connection of the transfer case - the box, it is necessary to do the prevention of flushing with the replacement of the oil seal and the application of lubricant, this will prolong the life of the splines.

The engine does not develop more than 3000 rpm, the "CHECK" lamp is on or flashing

Of course, such symptoms are typical for many breakdowns. diesel cars... But here we are talking about the most frequent malfunctions, those that sooner or later happen on all Sportage.

This "disease" is characteristic of diesel configurations, with engines R 2.0 and U2 1.7. There are usually two reasons for these symptoms:

• malfunction of the boost pressure sensor, on a car with a 2-liter engine;
• malfunction of the boost pressure sensor wiring, on cars with a 1.7 engine;

In both cases, the control unit transfers the operation of the motor to emergency mode, which means, in particular, a cut-off of engine speed at around 3000 rpm. The driver has the feeling that the turbine is simply not working. This is certainly not the case.

Kia Sportage 3 is one of the most popular crossovers in Russia. The machine is renowned for its reliability and ease of maintenance. But in order for the units to serve for a long time (meaning the engine and gearbox), it is necessary to periodically carry out preventive maintenance, namely, an oil change. Any car owner knows about the engine - this operation must be performed every 10 thousand kilometers. But not everyone knows about the checkpoint, especially the automatic one. But she also needs what kind of casting and how to change it in general? We will talk about this in our today's article.

The ways

Today, there are two methods of changing the oil in automatic box:

· Partial. In this case, the operation involves only fluid renewal. This option is the easiest for owners of a used car (especially those whose car is no longer under warranty). The operation is performed independently, without the help of specialized tools. But, unfortunately, there are also disadvantages of a partial double replacement of ATF oil in an automatic transmission. Replacement does not guarantee that the fluid will be 100 percent new. The new ATP fluid will only partially mix with the old one. Therefore, such an operation is performed twice in one replacement procedure.

· Full. How is the oil change in the automatic transmission "Kia Sportage" 3 carried out here? This method involves the use of a special washer. It is connected to the box through special hoses and pumps liquid under pressure. The old oil comes out. At the same time, new fluid is pumped into the system. Among the advantages of this method, it is worth noting more quality service Automatic transmission. An oil change in an automatic transmission will not be required as often as in the case of a partial method. After all, the system is filled with 100 percent new fluid. But this is where all the pros end. The main disadvantage of the method is that it cannot be repeated at home. Also, for a complete oil change in the automatic transmission for "Kia Sportage" 3, much more ATP fluid will be required. And it is not cheap. Well, plus everything you need to pay for the work of the craftsmen at the service station.

Which method should you choose? If the oil change in the automatic transmission is done on a Kia Sportage 3 car with your own hands, the partial method is the only one suitable option.

What to pour and how much?

What oil to use for the third generation Kia Sportage automatic transmission? Experts recommend using the original Hyundai SP-4 or Castrol Transmax E oil. As analogues you can consider "Shell Spyrax S4" and "Zeke ATP S4". Products from "Allison" receive quite good reviews. Allison C4 oil is suitable for Kia Sportage. Another good oil is Dexron 3. As for the volume, for partial replacement oils in Kia automatic transmission The Sportage 3 will require up to six liters of ATP fluid. In the event that a hardware (complete) replacement is performed, it is necessary to prepare about twelve liters. But we will not consider this method.

Helpful advice: car owners recommend changing the oil in the automatic transmission "Kia Sportage" 3 on the eve of winter. During this period, it will be better if the box runs on fresh oil. This will slightly extend the resource of automatic transmission mechanisms and units.

Instruments

For a successful replacement, we need:

· Standard set of keys and heads (in particular, "10" and "14").

· Pliers (or we will loosen the hose clamps).

· Empty container for used oil. Its volume must be at least five liters.

· Plastic funnel and hose.

· Liquid for cleaning the carburetor (it needs to process the pallet of the box).

We also need a new gasket for the pallet and filter. The work on replacing the fluid must be done in the pit. In the absence of one, you can use a jack, but this will be inconvenient.

Getting Started

So, first we install the car on a pit or overpass and warm up the box. It is enough to let the machine run for 5-7 minutes at idle. This will be especially useful for liquids in cold weather. The heated oil will be less viscous and will drain out of the box faster. And to even arrange the process, you can remove the dipstick from the box in order to ensure the flow of air inside.

Next, we find the plastic plug that is located at the bottom of the automatic transmission crankcase. We unscrew it and immediately substitute an empty container for draining. After a couple of minutes, the liquid will stop flowing out of the box. But it is worth remembering that half of the volume still remains in the torque converter and valve body.

Please note: the automatic transmission drain plug on the Kia Sportage is not in the most convenient place. Therefore, many motorists drain the liquid through the radiator hose, having previously loosened its clamp with pliers.

Next, we remove the pallet itself. It is fastened with bolts in the amount of 21 pcs. It is necessary to remove the pan very carefully, since some of the liquid (about two hundred milliliters) may remain in it. Will remain at the top oil filter... You need to extract it and install a new one (we will talk about it at the end of the article). Also, do not forget about the filter on the pallet. These are small magnets that hold the products of production in themselves. Before installing the pallet, it is imperative to clean it of this shavings. Flushing the cavity of the pallet will not be a superfluous operation. How to do it? You need to splash the carburetor cleaner and wipe everything dry with a rag. Ordinary gasoline does a good job of this. This will remove most of the emulsion and dirt that was at the bottom of the automatic transmission. After that, you can safely install the pallet in place. But you need to put it on a new gasket. The old one is no longer suitable for reuse.

After that we twist drain plug and using a funnel and a hose, fill in new liquid through the dipstick. You only need to pour exactly how much has flowed out of the box when replacing. Ideally, the oil level should be in the middle.

What's next?

Now the matter remains small. You need to start the engine and run the oil in the box. To do this faster, you can switch the automatic transmission modes several times with a delay of five seconds. Then we turn off the engine and once again check the liquid level on the dipstick. If it becomes less, we resume the level to the normal level.

About the filter

Many believe that for long and trouble-free operation automatic transmission it is enough to change only the oil in it. But this is a delusion. Both the ATP liquid and the filter change. A two-layer felt element is installed on such boxes. It cannot be cleaned and is replaced entirely with a new one. Why is it so important? The fact is that clogged filter can cause a drop in oil pressure in the box.

Because of this, various kicks and jerks occur, as well as delays in shifting gears. Do not forget about the sediment at the bottom of the pallet. Over time, it begins to clog the valve body channels and solenoids. Because of this, kicks are also possible when shifting gears.

How often to change?

The manufacturer regulates the next oil change period in the automatic transmission - 60 thousand kilometers. But this is applicable only when carrying out a complete fluid change at the stand. If a partial method is used, this period should be halved. Thus, the repeated replacement (or rather renewal) of the oil will be in 30 thousand kilometers.

Conclusion

So, we figured out how to change the oil in the Kia Sportage automatic transmission. By adhering to the specified schedule and replacing filters, you can significantly extend the service life of an automatic transmission without any additives. But don't skimp on consumables... A cheap filter and oil will not guarantee a long transmission life, even if the work is done on time.

The second generation Kia Sportage was one of the most popular crossovers in its segment. The appearance of the third generation caused a lot of dissatisfaction with the design, but over time, the negative perception changed towards the positive. Note that most find similarities korean crossover with German premium SUV Porsche cayenne, especially after updating the latter, which even has rear optics, now, like the Sportage.

Like all Kia models the crossover has its own counterpart from Hyundai, for Sportage such an analogue is with which they have completely similar technical characteristics, including a line of engines and transmissions. Potential owners are offered a choice of two gasoline engines and one diesel. The petrol line of engines consists of a 2.0-liter aspirated engine with a capacity of 150 hp. and a 1.6 lira turbo engine producing 177 hp. diesel engine a volume of 2.0 liters is capable of producing 185 hp.

Transmissions include a 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox, as well as a new DCT robot with seven gears and two dry clutches.

Relatively recently, almost all models of the Kia brand have acquired a sports package, which adds a sporty interior and exterior design to the car, and in some cases a new robot and a turbo vehicle are available.

• 1.6 liter petrol turbo engine with 177 hp. four-wheel drive price from 2 084 900 rubles

• 2.0 liter diesel engine with 185 hp. four-wheel drive price from 2,094,900 rubles.

Of all the above versions, we would prefer a diesel engine, all-wheel drive and the classic automaton, because in our opinion, this is the optimal ratio of price / fuel consumption / dynamics and reliability.

Competitors in this segment for Sportage 2018 can be considered Volkswagen tiguan price from 1,349,000 rubles, Ford Kuga price from 1 399 000 rubles, Honda cr-v price from 1 769 900 rubles, Hyundai Tucson from 1,505,900 rubles, Mazda CX-5 price from 1,431,000 rubles and Toyota RAV4 from 1,493,000 rubles.

Kia Sportage 3 is equipped with either mechanical box gears (5-speed for the 2-liter petrol engine and 6-speed for the 2-liter diesel engine), or 6-speed automatic transmission.

Manual Transmission

Vehicle modifications with a 2-liter gasoline engine are completed 5-speed transmission model M5GF1... It is installed in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the crossover and has, depending on the type of drive design features... Kia Sportage with 2-liter diesel engine aggregated 6-speed gearbox M6GF2... Specifications of two types mechanical transmissions are shown in the table below.

Automatic transmission

For modifications with a 2-liter gasoline engine installation is provided automatic transmission model A6MF1, for versions with a 2-liter diesel engine - model A6LF2... Both boxes have almost the same design and are arranged according to the traditional scheme - torque converter + planetary gear... The differences lie in the gear ratios and the diameter of the converter. The gearbox installed on a 4WD crossover has an additional flange for mounting the transfer case. Gear shifting is carried out using electronic unit management, which analyzes many parameters and determines the optimal moment for switching. The characteristics of the automatic transmissions installed on the Kia Sportage 3 are shown in the table.

Prestigious Korean car kia Sportage III is a worthy successor to its second generation predecessor. This vehicle is equipped with an economical six-speed Kia Sportage. Like the entire presented machine, the automatic transmission is characterized by reliable technical indicators and unpretentious service. Changing the oil in the automatic transmission Kia Sportage 3 is done in one of two ways: partial or full change transmission.

Description of oil change methods for automatic transmission Kia Sportage 3

Many owners service their vehicles themselves. For the successful holding of this event, you need to study in detail the intricacies of each oil change operation in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission.

Most often, a simplified method is used for a partial oil change in an automatic gearbox. This does not require specialized equipment and complex fixtures. but this way has significant disadvantages. The main one is the lack of a guarantee of 100% replacement. transmission fluid ATP in the lubrication system vehicle... In this case, there is a partial mixing of the new composition with the old substance.

To increase the percentage of fresh transmission material in the automatic transmission lubrication system, this procedure is carried out not in one, but in two steps.

When performing a complete replacement lubricant in the automatic transmission Kia Sportage 3 you will need:

• acquire a special flushing apparatus;
• connect the device to an automatic transmission using hoses;
• pump fluid under pressure through the entire transmission system.

In the process of pumping working fluid through the entire transmission, the old waste composition is completely removed from the valve body and other secluded places of the box crankcase. Simultaneously with the removal of the old composition, the entire lubrication system of the machine is filled with fresh transmission ATF oil.

The advantages of a complete replacement of the lubricant in the automatic gearbox:

1. Providing 100% renewal in the automatic transmission.
2. An increase in the time period between service vehicle.
3. Improvement technical characteristics lubricant.
4. Noticeable ease and comfort of gear shifting.
5. The absence of negative manifestations in the operation of the car (slipping of the clutches, slipping of the automatic transmission, jolts, vibrations, incorrect operation of the valve body, etc.).

Cons of the second method:

• this method cannot be used at home;
• the need for an increased amount of consumables;
• relatively high price corporate transmission oil ATP;
• the services of qualified service station specialists are a relatively expensive service.

Conclusion: According to most car owners, a do-it-yourself partial oil change in a garage is the best alternative to a high-cost event for a complete replacement of transmission material in service centers.

What kind of oil to fill in the 3rd generation Kia Sportage automatic transmission

It is known that to ensure stable work Automatic transmission during the declared operational period, it is necessary to use only recommended brands of transmission oils. The following work materials are best suited for the Kia Sportage 3 vehicle:

1. Hyundai SP-4.
2. Castrol Transmax E.
3. Shell Spyrax S4.
4. Allison C4.
5. Dexron 3.

The first two positions from the presented list are the most suitable original oils for this car model.

How much oil will you need to buy in order to carry out a partial or complete replacement of the working fluid in the Kia automatic transmission:

• partial replacement - 6 liters of ATP;
• hardware room (full) - not less than 12 liters, respectively.

Tip: To ensure the stability of the car's functioning over a long winter period, experienced car owners recommend changing the transmission oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission on the eve of the winter months. It is necessary to let the box run on fresh lubricant before the onset of frost. This contributes to a significant extension of the service life of the working units and mechanisms of the automatic transmission.

Frequency of replacement of the ATF lubricant

How many kilometers does the service run Maintenance automatic transmission? Based on the manufacturer's recommendations, complete replacement transmission oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission should be carried out after 60,000 km of the covered path. If the decision is made to change the lubricant using the partial replacement method, the set time interval is automatically halved. This means that when using the method of partial change of the transmission fluid in the automatic transmission, the measures are carried out after a run of 30,000 km.

Subject to the presented regulations for updating the transmission fluid in the gearbox, it is possible to significantly lengthen the service life of an automatic transmission of a car without the use of additional additives.

Simultaneously with the replacement of the working lubricant in the box, the automatic transmission filter of the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission must be changed.

List of required consumables and tools

Before changing the transmission oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission, it is recommended to prepare a special elevated platform with inspection pit to install the vehicle on a convenient elevation (overpass). For work, you will also need tools and accessories:

1. A new portion of ATF transmission oil.
2. A set of wrenches.
3. Pliers.
4. A container in the form of an empty bucket or basin, with a volume of at least five liters, for collecting used oil.
5. Funnel in the transmission filler neck.
6. Rubber hose of appropriate diameter.
7. Composition for processing carburetors (useful for cleaning the pan).
8. Automatic transmission pan gasket.
9. New oil filter.

The procedure for replacing the lubricant in the automatic transmission: Kia Sportage do it yourself

Direct work begins with a thorough warming up of the working fluid in the gearbox to the working temperature regime... To do this, you need to start the engine and drive the car for several kilometers for seven minutes. This is especially true in winter, when the temperature the environment has negative values. The fulfillment of this condition is necessary to dilute the transmission oil inside the automatic gearbox. Hot, low viscosity oil drains faster and more easily from the automatic transmission crankcase.

Tip: To speed up the process, experienced craftsmen additionally remove the dipstick from the automatic transmission, while air enters the inside of the box.

Algorithm of actions for changing the oil in the automatic transmission:

1. Place the car on the overpass.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the prepared container under the gearbox drain hole.
5. Unscrew the drain plug located at the bottom of the box crankcase. It is known that, in this case, not all of the lubricating fluid... Almost half of the volume of transmission lubricant remains in the valve body and the automatic transmission torque converter.
6. When the oil stops draining, dismantle the automatic box pan. To do this, unscrew the 21 fastening screws and carefully drain the remaining oil into a container (approx. 200 ml).
7. Remove clogged oil filter and magnets.
8. Clean from metal shavings and other harmful deposits, in the form of dirt and emulsion, magnets and the oil pan.
9. When cleaning the sump, use a carburetor solution or regular gasoline.
10. Remove the remnants of the worn pallet gasket and install a new sealing element using sealant.
11. Close the drain hole.
12. Fill in new gear oil using the dipstick holes. For this, a prepared funnel and a hose are used. The volume of liquid to be poured should correspond to the amount of waste material previously removed.
13. Check the level of the filled oil. It should sit at the midpoint of the dipstick.

After filling the new transmission oil in the automatic transmission, you need to turn on the engine and drive the oil through the automatic transmission, moving the gear selector several times to different modes with a certain delay (approximately five seconds) in each position.

Interesting: In an automatic transmission Kia car Sportage 3 is equipped with an oil filter equipped not with the usual steel mesh, but with a two-layer element made of special felt. This filter material cannot be re-cleaned and refurbished. The mechanism is completely dismantled and a new oil filter of a similar design is installed.

If, during the process of updating the transmission oil in the vehicle's automatic transmission, the filter mechanism is not replaced, the oil pressure in the transmission lubrication system will drop sharply. As a result, the gearbox will start to work unstable, when shifting the gears, tangible ones will appear. The process of switching to another gear will be carried out with delays. The oil channels of the automatic transmission valve body will quickly become clogged, dangerous will begin, unscheduled expensive repairs will be required.
