Kia Sportage owners begin to complain about the knocker in the engine: the cause becomes the cylinders. Kia Sportage owners begin to complain about the knuckle in the engine: the cause of the cylinder cylinders becomes the cause of the cabin-oriented cabin
Being not the cheapest crossover, Kia Sportage. perfectly fit into the segment compact crossovers in the Russian market. The third generation produced in the third generation, becoming one of those cars that helped capital update the image of Kia, in the fourth generation of the year promises to rise to a new level. A wide range of new technologies and convenient features are now available on a new sport. It can be one of the most gadget oriented car in its segment. In addition, the extensive capital update of the interior and the chassis also suggests that the Sports will be more modern than the car, which will change to the shift. After the debut of the Sportage of the 4th generation on the Motor Show in Los Angeles, we decided to make a list of funny facts and interesting features about the upcoming Kia Sportage.
Models KIA Optima and Kia Sorento were specially created for the North American market, but Sportage is one of the few cars of the South Korean automaker the lineup which began to be produced first in his homeland. 
The creation of the fourth generation Sportage occurred in the United States, in California on auto polygons of the Hyundai-Kia concern. Prototypes, among other things, were tested for stability when driving at high speeds, off-road, and on the reliability of the suspension with long-term operation on poorly served road surfaces.
In Russia, Kia Sports of the 3rd generation will be captured from the territory of the Republic of Slovakia, where one of the KIA plants is located. This modern plant produces the bulk of Sportage crossovers for the European and Russian markets. The same plant will begin the production of fourth-generation Sportridge. The plant provides a complete cycle of Sportage production, including the production of all body elements, elements of the cabin and KIA Sportage engines.
Compared to the previous generation of Sportage, the 4th generation model 2017 will be built using more advanced high-strength steel alloys. It makes his body even stronger than before. Fifty-one percent of the new car body is made of modern high strength steels. In the previous model there were 18 percent. As a result, in 2017, Sportage, the rigidity of the twist improved by as much as 39 percent. The body fortress was also strengthened due to the wide use of hot-filled steel on the body racks, side thresholds, in the design of the roof and wheeled arches.
Rotary optics, new, but recognizable appearance
Take a look again at the Sports 2017, and you will realize that there is nothing like in its class. This is a compact crossover that will have a swivel headlight. Highly located headlights and LED daytime lights rotate as a three-blade propeller! Sportage, 2017 denotes his presence everywhere, wherever he is going to turn. Yes, even now he has such a person that only a native mother can love, but this is a useful change of appearance - in the segment are full of cars, which are only shades of vanilla fragrances. At the same time, the car has a familiar silhouette that appeared in III generation Sportage that still supports his recognition even with a new (and embarrassing) foreground.
"Ice Cube" instead of fog headlights
Another characteristic elements of the new Kia design are its "ice cubes" - LED elements fog lightswhich replace traditional halogen lamps with a set of four small LED blocks grouped together. In combination with an aggressive front bumper, these lights form characteristic. This allows the car to stand out even more than before. At night, the feeling of the presence of Sportyj is enhanced by these unusual LED clusters, as they look like luminous ice cubes.
Vertical Radiator Grille
A part of what makes the 2017 Sports Sports so amazing, in addition to highly located headlights and ice cubes with LED fonts, is a massive radiator grille. Unlike other cars KIA, a branded lattice in the form of "tiger's nose" is more in height. It gives the car a more impressive look, which can embarrass, those who prefer classic design. However, we assure you, a huge grille of the radiator still retains the image of a compact SUV in Kia. If you decide to buy the 2017 Sportage IV generation, as soon as it goes on sale, you can be sure that there will be nothing like it on the market.
Significant changes in the design of suspension and steering
For Kia Sportyj. 2017 year constructors completely redesigned independent suspension And they made it so to improve the smoothness of the stroke, the handling and stability of the car. Multi-type rear suspension Received most of the changes and now has a two-storey shock absorber in the case and double lower lever In the design. Front of the MacPherson racks were recycled to improve stability and improved testing of road coating.
If you want your sports looking, to be more sporty, know that the top SX version comes with a unique adjustment of the elasticity of shock absorbers in the suspension. All models will also receive a recycled electric power steering, where 25 percent reduced friction of structural elements for better accuracy and control sensitivity. The steering mechanism was also mounted further for better weight distribution.
Blocking the inter-axis differential and unique front bumper in all-wheel drive versions
Like his older brother of 2016 Sorento, a generation IV Sports Living in 2017 will be equipped with an inter-sieve differential lock in a 50/50 proportion for complete sets with a full drive system. The new Sportage with the AWD system predicts and feels the road in front so that optimizes cravings, especially in bad weather conditions. This means that you can pass almost everything that the mother-nature will throw on you. AWD Sportages will also be with another front bumper, which will provide him with a coolest exaltation angle when you move on some off-road.
The turbocharged engine returns to bis
Although some competitors Sports ceased to offer more powerful engines, Kia took the 2.0-liter CRDI engine with a turbocharger from the previous generation and placed it under the hood of the 2017 model. Let new environmental norms affect the easiest reduction of power up to 185 liters. With., Sportage remains one of the few representatives in the segment of compact SUVs, which are still offering a powerful engine for those who want a little more than just a family car.
Here is the full line of the engines that expect us:
- new gasoline atmospheric motor 1,6-liters 132 hp and 161 nm,
- he, but in a turbocharged version, at 177 hp. and 265 nm,
- the turbocharged diesel CRDI 1.7 liters. at 115 hp and 280 nm,
- turbated diesel CRDI 2.0 l. at 136 hp 373 nm,
- turbated diesel CRDI 2.0 l. at 185 hp 400 nm.
Three driving modes according to your mood
A few years ago, you would have to lay out a decent amount for a chic machine to get the opportunity to choose driving mode. But now most are wide famous marks These features have an opportunity as an option or in the database on higher equipment. Driving on the 4th generation gym promises to be solid pleasure - all configurations make it possible to select the driving mode between Normal, Eco and Sport. Normal mode is implemented golden middle In an attempt to balance fuel economy and acceleration. Sport mode determines the priority of speed over everything else. Well, and Eco mode tries to extract as much energy from each drop of fuel.
Driver-oriented cabin
Considering that the 2017th Sportage promises to be a crossover, which will offer a lot of acute sensations behind the wheel, the salon was recycled with a priority for the driver. As a result, the central console was inclined to the side driver's seat, stressing that a man who has driving experience must drive a car, which enjoys driving more often than the carriage of his family from point A at point B. Additional interior details in the SX version, such as steering wheel with a flat "bottom" bottom of the ram, steering Switches also hint at the car sports chairs.
More cargo space
SUVs must be practical. In addition to the fact that they combine the properties of Hatback and wagon, have increased clearance, there must be more reasons for themselves for themselves and their family car class SUV. By 2017, the Sportage Salon will be optimized in such a way that it will become more than just for family holidays and will have more space. As a result of the best layout there will be more space for passengers of both seats and more cargo spaces with separately folding rear seats. The volume of the Kia Sportage luggage compartment will be 503 liters, which is more than the 3rd generation for 8 liters. The panel on the floor of the trunk is adjustable in two positions - it gives more freedom in the location of the overall things. And under the floor, a special compartment is now provided, where you can hide the sliding curtain.
Uvo3 debuts in Sportsj 2017
In the new iteration of all models of KIA, the debut of an infotainment system called UVO3 will be held. She will be included in the configuration for Sportsj 2017. Depending on the level of configuration, it will be installed either 5, 7 or an 8-inch touch screen into the cabin of your car. Each of the screens, in addition, has certain features. The SX top model will be offered in the database navigation with the 320-watt premium audio system HARMAN KARDON on eight speakers. For all versions there are additional ports for a USB connector, which are supposed to be used only for charging your mobile devices. The new feature for the latest version of UVO is the presence of built-in 8 GB of available memory for storing music and playlists.
Android AUTO is a standard set of EX and SX versions
Android users rejoice! Kia Sports 2017 is equipped with an android for a car as standard (Android AUTO), so you can link your smartphone with a car and use all its capabilities controlled using a touchscreen. As soon as you connect your Android device to the system via the USB port, the system gets access to the Internet, which means that you can request on Google traffic data on traffic, the choice of several routes, and also use, for example, Google music to listen new Melodies on the way. Later, Kia will also add Apple CarPlay so iOS users can connect their devices to their vehicles, and give Siri to take control over the information and entertainment system.
Wide set of active safety functions
Following the footsteps of your native brother 2016 Kia Optima, the new Kia Sportage in 2017 will be the second car Kia. In turn, which will offer a complete set of active safety. Although in 2016, Sorento also includes a warning about leaving the strip of movement, warning about the danger of a collision, and a warning about the movement in the "blind" zone in new Kia. Sportage raises safety on the step above, adding automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection feature.
The SX top packs will have these active security systems in the database. Ex version will offer them as part additional package. The lucky owner of the Sportage 2017 equipped with these security features will not have a chance to hit another car or pedestrian while driving.
Since 1992, four generations of KIA Sportage with diesel and gasoline engines, mono- and complete drives were issued. A truly competitive in the segment of compact crossovers Kia Sportage became in 2004, after the presentation of the second generation, built on the same platform as - Hyundai-Kia J3. Less often in Russia there are versions of the first generation, which were collected at the factory in Kaliningrad.
Kia Sportage Engine
First generation
Kia Sportage of the first generation was produced from 1993 to 2006. Completed five different gasoline and diesel engines. The volume, as a rule, was 2.0 liters, and the power varied from 63 to 128 horse power. Although the KIA Sportage motor line is presented with a 2.2-liter diesel engine, borrowed from Mazda.
In Russia, four-cylinder power units issuing 118 or 128 liters are most common. from. Engine Kia Sportjage works in a pair with a five-speed mechanic or a four-step automatic machine. The average consumption per 100 km varies from 8 to 14 liters.
Versions designed for domestic market, not particularly picky about fuel quality. Oil, on the prescriptions of the manufacturer, you need to change every 12 thousand km. But with permanent operation in urban environments, it is desirable to reduce interservice runs up to 8-10 thousand km. To avoid overheating, you should take care of the replacement of antifreeze every 50 thousand km, as well as prophylactically make flushing radiators.
The owners of Kia Sports I generation I rarely complain about the engine. The main claims are associated with corrosion of body, poor noise insulation, noisy crushes, weak stabilizer bushings. Most breakdowns are associated with the old age of the crossover. The power units are reliable and unpretentious, although the KIA Sportage diesel can deliver problems when using a low-quality diesel fuel. It often comes out of the system of the fuel pump, the cylinder head and crank mechanism critically wear out, problems appear with starting to cold.
If you are the owner of the Diesel Sport I generation, to increase the resource of the power unit and fuel system Use. The additive will increase the cetane indicator for 3-5 units, reduce the flow rate of 10-15%, will reduce the wear of the motor under load, protect the fuel injectors. It removes water from diesel fuel, thereby facilitating the start on the cold at minus temperatures.
Second and third generation
The second generation crossover was produced from 2004 to 2010. It was already built not on the frame of the staircase type, so it became less adapted to off-road. The KIA Sportage II generation was completed with gasoline engines with a volume of 2.0 to 2.7 liters.
In 2010, the second generation was replaced by the second generation. The crossover was equipped with an anterior or complete drive, a five-speed mechanic or a six-speed automatic machine.
For Kia, the second and third generations, the following power plants were used:
1) D4EA. - turbocharged four-cylinder engine volume 1991 cubic meters. See Power is 113 liters. from. With solid runs in the motor 2.0 CRDI, compression gradually decreases. This negatively reflects on fuel consumption, power, problems appear with the start of the motor to the cold. Over time, the EGR system is clogged, due to the wear of the turbine and the CPG in the exhaust, particles of oil are falling, soot, which leads to a deterioration of thrust. Serious problems in the KIA Sportage with the D4EA motor appear during runs over 200 thousand km.
2) G4GC. - two-liter petrol motor with a cast-iron cylinder block that was widely used for cars implemented on russian market. This is an ordinary atmospheric with a capacity of 143 liters. from. The volume of oil in the lubricant system is 4 liters.
Resource Ply proper service and normal operation exceeds 300 thousand km. This engine Kia. The Beta II Sportage Series is equipped with a CVVT system, but does not have hydraulic components. Therefore, it may be necessary to adjust the valve gaps when running less than 100 thousand km. It is important to change the belt in a timely manner. It follows every 60 thousand km, because when it is gap, the flashes valve.
Among the shortcomings of G4GC are high noise, increased vibrations, characteristic jerks during acceleration. Sometimes they freeze the revolutions, to eliminate the problem, reflash the ECU.
3) G4KD. - two-liter gasoline engine Kia Sports with an aluminum block of cylinders. Power is 150 liters. from. In the Russian conditions, its resource reaches 250 thousand km. On the cold Motor "Dieselit", characteristic discrimination comes from the injectors. In general, the engine is unpretentious and reliable. Constructive disadvantages include insufficient piston cooling, which leads to bulk, knocking of pistons and fingers in skirts.
4) G4KE - 2,4 l KIA Sportage gasoline engine, which gives 175 liters. from. Power. The lubricant system accommodates 4.6 liters of oil. This is a prototype of the MITSUBISHI 4B12 power unit with an aluminum cylinder block. The advantages of G4KE include a proven design, a good power supply and strength.
5) 2.0 CRDI - used at Kia Sports of III generation, issues 136 or 184 liters. from. Completed by the direct injection system. Pleases low fuel consumption. During solid runs, controllers are delivered, sensors, fuel system.
Fourth generation
The new Kia Sportage is manufactured since 2016. It is equipped with 3 gasoline and 3 diesel engines. Among them are improved units from previous generations. For example, the same G4KE is 185 liters. from. The Korean manufacturer has not refused and from 1.7 CRDI with a capacity of 115 liters. from. This is a record holder in terms of efficiency: consumes up to 5 liters per 100 km of a mixed cycle.
G4fd appeared in the bus line - 1.6 GDI. GAMMA gasoline engine can work in a pair with mechanics or machine gun. Thanks to the direct fuel injection, it was possible to achieve the best responsiveness on low revolutions. And the increased compression and optimization of gear ratios in the box had a positive effect on gasoline consumption.
How to increase the resource of the engine Kia Sportage?
To extend the life of the KIA Sportage power unit, you need to adhere to only two rules: properly operate the car and spend competent maintenance, reducing the frequency of oil change to 7-10 thousand km. An increase in the resource is facilitated by the RVS-Master additive and the prophylactic, which is carried out by MF5. We will analyze individually the features of these products.
Additive in DVS - Repair and recovery, which restores conjugate pairs of friction from ferrous metals by increasing the tight layer of metal ceramics. The fine composition is not a classic oil additive, since it does not affect its physicochemical properties.
Due to the G4GC processing with the cast-iron cylinder block, it is possible to achieve an increase in compression, reducing the oil and fuel consumption, increasing the engine resource, incidence of noise and vibrations. The friction geomodifier forms a metal-ceramic layer on surfaces from ferrous metals, resistant to corrosion, oxidation, wear, and it simply cleans parts from aluminum and contaminants. Impact efficiency impact repair At Kia, Sportage may differ depending on the design and technical condition of the motor. The adding to the additive is appropriate to combine with the planned something - the replacement of engine oil and other consumables.
MF5 - Additive for washing the oil system, which is used to clean the working surfaces from carbon black and wear products. The composition is safe for seals, gaskets. The frequency of its use depends on the nature of the KIA Sportage. Without additives, it is not necessary when you go to new oil, discovered an extraneous substance in the fusion working fluid Or purchased a used car, but not sure about the quality of its service. MF5 additive is useful for planned serviceSince it has a comprehensive impact:
- Restores damaged cylinders.
- Disposals utilizes metal oxides.
- Restores the elasticity of seals.
- Generates a layer of metal ceramics on working surfaces.
MF5 should be applied before replacing the oil. Consider, unlike the RVS-Master, the flushing does not help if the troit motor, compression fell, there is wear of the friction surfaces. In such cases, it is necessary to fully diagnose and restore the power unit.
Drive, automatic transmission and MCPP KIA SPORTAGE
Mechanics Kia Sportage all generations are very reliable. On cars that are operating in sophisticated conditionsAt high loads, the characteristic howl, noise, hum. Often it is associated with wear gears. For their recovery, the additive is suitable or. But it is necessary to use it before the debris and chips fall into the lubricant system. This will avoid major repairs, will extend the transmission resource, make switching more smooth and easy, eliminates an unpleasant crunch, knock.
Similar additives are used to handle the bridge, dispensing to eliminate howl, hum, improve the operation of the full drive. Most of the 4WD Kia Sportage breakdowns are associated with the overheating of the clutch, oil leaks, a breakdown of the pump, whose filters are clogged with mud. Therefore, the crossover owners need to closely monitor the oil level and tightness of the system, to propagate the additive to the oil to disperse and the bridge to the oil.
As for the automatic transmission, its breakdowns are manifested by jogs and pinks, slippets when switching. As practice shows, this may occur with any run, which will lead to the need for expensive repair or full replacement of the box. For recovery and impact repair, we recommend. The additive compensates for wear bearing, gear wheels and other parts, makes switching easy and smooth. It will be useful for any of the automatic transmission: re4R01A, F4A42, F4A51, A6GF1.
Sportage - sign model for Kia. This name has already been a quarter of a century, and the car itself changed 4 generations.
Sportage I generation engines
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!
Kia Sportyj made debut in 1993. This is the first and only time when Sportage had several body options. In addition to the standard five-door version, the "Three-door" with an open top and a vehicle with an extended rear breath (Sportage Grand) was proposed.
The Korean manufacturer created its first SUV on the basis of Mazda car. Sportage uses frame design. Most of the time SUV rear-wheel drive, the front is rigidly connected.
Motors have switched from the Japanese. Under the hood, Sportage could be found a gasoline double-liter motor in three different versions and two diesel engines: the volume of 2.0 and 2.2 liters.
FE.
The FE KIA series began to release Mazda licenses in 1992. This is a four-cylinder atmospheric unit with a block of cast iron and aluminum GBC. Before installing in Sportage, the engine has been modified a little, in particular changed the intake receiver, installed another camshaft and reduced the compression ratio.
There were two versions: with an 8- and 16-valve head block. The first could only be found on cars korean assembly until 1999. This motor develops only 95 horsepower compared to 118 forces of the 16-valve. In addition, he has a record low compression ratio - 8.6. 
Since 1995, engines with Fe-DOHC with a double camshaft appeared under the hood. The diameter of the cylinder and the stroke of the piston was left unchanged.
| Engine | Fe SOHC (DOHC) 16V |

R2 and RF
On the sporty of the first generation two were installed diesel engines. One of them is R2 with a volume of 2.2 liters without turbocharging. It gives only 63 horsepower and 127 Nm of torque. This power unit is early could be found on the Mazda Bongo minibus. It was put on Sportage until 2002.
The second motor is a diesel modification of the FE series unit. The block itself has not changed any changes, but the GBC is completely different. The Korean designers themselves have added a turbine to it, so that the power has increased to 83 horses. By reliability, this motor is less preferred than gasoline. Diesel works under a larger load, plus it has a more complex design (forkar ignition, turbine, intercooler).

| Average flow | 9.1 L. |
Generation Sportage II engines
In 2004, generations change. And at the same time, the concept of a car was changed. Sportage has ceased to be frame SUV.by going to the class of crossovers. The basis is the new carrying body and the Elantra platform. 
G4GC.
A two-liter gasoline "four" was the most common engine at the Sportage of the second generation. This is a simple and unpretentious unit. Pig-iron block, CBC from aluminum. In the timing belt, the belt that needs to be changed every 50-70 thousand to avoid the cliff and damage to the valves about the cylinder. In the head, one phasemaker is installed, changing the corners of the phases of the inlet valves. 
But due to the lack of hydrocompensators, the adjustment of valve gaps is required every 90 thousand km.

| Acceleration | 11.3 S. |
| Maximum speed | 176 |
| Average flow | 9.3 |
D4EA.
There are two modifications of the D4EA motor. They differ only to the turbine and hinged equipment. The younger version uses the supervision of WGT and gives 112 horsepower. An VGT turbine and another TNVD with increased performance are used on a more powerful modification. The engine is considered sufficiently reliable, but expensive components and considerable age cars make the purchase of diesel Sportage of the second generation of a risky occupation.

Generation Sportage III engines
The third generation saw the light in 2010. The crossover received a bright and dynamic design, in which there was not a hint of a calm appearance of predecessors. Like Sportage) 2 new car in the basic configuration had front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is available for extra charge, but its task is not to increase the permeability, still the crossover has become a purely asphalt, and make behavior on slippery types of coating more confident. 
G4KD.
G4KD is a two-liter gasoline engine. Met on Sportage most often and was the only gasoline engine In the ruler. This motor had frequent claims associated with noisy work. Diesel sound on the cold engine indicates bulhira on the walls of the cylinders. Drying is a feature of the injectors.
After restyling 2014, instead of the G4KD engine, the G4NU motor began installed. It differs in the geometry of the block and the timing drive.
| Engine | G4KD. |

D4fd.
Diesel volume 1.7 liters - D4FD engine, which was represented only in 2010. This is the most voluminous motor of the new u series of Hönde aggregates. It is equipped with a timetable timetable timetable, two camshafts, each of which is on the phase regulator. In addition, the VGT turbine is installed variable geometry.
There are two versions of this engine. On the Sportage applies only the least powerful with a return of 115 horses. This motor is sensitive to fuel quality. The low-grade diesel brake quickly removes the nozzles due to which the engine operation becomes uneven. 
If the thrust disappeared and jerks appeared, then the filters of fine or coarse cleaning were earthen.

D4HA.
Diesel two-liter motor appeared in 2009. Unlike the 1.7 l motor, its block is cast from aluminum, and not from cast iron. A chain is used in the TRG drive. Hydrocompensators independently regulate valve gaps. A turbine with a variable geometry is applied in the supervision system. As well as the younger diesel engine D4HA is demanding of fuel quality. In addition, with a dynamic ride at high revs, a small oil consumption appears, it is desirable to monitor its level.
Motor D4HA has two versions: standard and forced to 184 horses. Both can be found under the hood of Sportage.

Sportage IV generation engines
In Russia fourth generation Kia. Sportage arrived in 2016, six months after official premiere In Frankfurt. Technically, the car has not changed much, the crossover is built on a modified predecessor platform and inherited engines from it. For example, a diesel engine moved from under the Sportage 3 hood at all unchanged. 
G4na.
The basic motor for the sporty is still there is still a row four-cylinder four of 2 liter. The new unit received the designation G4NA, it refers to the NU family, which was presented in 2010. Following modern trends, the designers preferred an aluminum block and a cylinder head. On both camshafts, phase studies are installed for better filling cylinders on different revs. 
Hydrocompensators are provided, they will get rid of manual adjustment Valves every 90 thousand km. A chain is used in the timing.

G4FJ.
The only truly new unit is a gasoline turbochetter. Trendy Downsaysing got to kia crossover. This Motor volume of 1.6 liters gives 177 horsepower, which is 27 horses more than its two-liter gasoline fellow. In addition to the turbine, they are distinguished by the fuel supply system. On G4FJ is applied direct injection. The CVVT phase management system is also inlet, and on the graduation shaft. 
Hydrocompensators are not provided, it is necessary to manually adjust the valves every 90 thousand km. Timing timing chain. From the factory there are three versions of different power: 177, 186 and 204 horsepower.
Considerable merit in improved dynamics belongs to a new robotic transmission with double clutch. Only a pair with her and full drive is available a turbocharged motor.

On the example of KIA Sportage clearly seen how the engine development occurs. From the unpretentious units of simple design, which gave out little power and consumed a lot of fuel, evolution gradually comes to more efficient and complex DVS with a smaller resource.
In Russian club forums and social networks, alarming bells about the reliability of the 2.0-liter Kia / Hyundai G4KD motor, associated with the appearance of the knocks in the cylindropional group (CPG), began to appear on social networks. At the same time, in Belarus about problems with these motors, it is not heard. What is this - features of Russian operating, as some say, or still technological miscalculation? To find out, journalists ABW.BY gathered several cars and sent them to the Endoscopy of the CPG.
Let's start with the fact that the engines "clones" G4KD (THAETA II) and 4B11 are built on the architecture of the Global Engine Alliance - the Alliance created by Corporations Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Hyundai, but at the initiative of Hyundai. Each company introduced some adjustments to their brand, but the architecture remained uniform. The main part of the development was carried out by Hyundai.
The motor is completely aluminum, contains four valves per cylinder, two camshafts in the cylinder head (DOHC), as well as a system for changing the phase distribution with electronically control Mivec (intake and release). Accordingly, on Korean cars, the letter designation is G4KD, on Japanese - 4B11. Motor was put on Kia Cerato, Kia Optima, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai IX35, Hyundai Sonata, Mitsubishi Lancer, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi ASX And numerous models of American production Chrysler and Dodge.
On the basis of this unit, the engine G4KE (Theta II) / 4B12 with a working volume of 2.4 liters was created. In addition, on the basis of 4B11, 4B11T Turbops was created for sports Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart.
"I recently addressed the owner of the negarantine Kia Sportage," says the car master from Minsk. "The car arrived from Russia a year ago, there are all service documents - served at the dealer. Here the owner did not drive 8,000 kilometers. After 120 thousand ordinary operation, the engine boomed. Initially, the owner went to the Hyundai dealer. They listened the car, they said that the piston was knocking, they say, the burdens, the motor will be shifted, piston change - we know about the problem ... We did not believe, went to endoscopy. It turns out that the guys from Hyundai were right . What I saw is normal for old engines with runs of 400-600 thousand working on Tine, with a leaky toe instead air filterBut not at a four-year-old KIA with a careful mileage of 120 thousand. Cylinder walls in jackets, long, abundant and ugly. So far, there are still shallow, as it stumbled recently, approximately kilometers of 500 years ago. Memorial compression showed 13-12-13-13. That is, the motor is still "alive", but in the second cylinder there is already pressure drops. Another 10 thousand kilometers, and will consume butter on the avgar and the "sampling" in the oil refining neck. After 50 thousand it trips and "die." If not evincible before. "
Having removed the pallet and finding the metal powder in it, the motor was dismantled and dismantled. It turned out that the jacies are present in all cylinders on the front and rear walls. At the same time, the most damage in the second, third and fourth "pots".
It goes without saying, pistons suffered. Running on the Internet, they found out that the case is not alleged.
At the Russian Forum of the Kia Club forum already 640 (!) Pages of discussion of this issue, there are many cases of problems with CPG G4KD on DRIVE2.RU, and in Youtube suspiciously many videos about Zadira and knocks korean motor. The symptoms are as follows: in the period 50.000-150.000 km the engine appears on the cold "on the cold". With mighties, the knock is enhanced and stops disappearing as it warked. The autopsy shows the presence of jackets on the "skirts" of the pistons and the walls of the cylinders. And it does not matter where the car was served, at the dealer, on third parties or in the garages.
What is interesting, in the US, there was even an revocable campaign, touched half a million (!) Machines with engines of Theta II series, in which the engine indicated by us. In addition, a campaign was conducted to extend the guarantees on the engines. But there is a slightly different problem associated with blocking metal chips of oil channels, which led to oil starvation and stop of the motor.
Nevertheless, in Belarus sold a large number of Korean cars with these engines, and it seems to be heard about our forums about the problem, unlike Russian forums. Initially abw.by found out about the question of the history with the Kia Sportage engine from the Minsk Automaster: It seems that the mileage is small, and the motor has already demanded repairs due to the jackets.
To find out if these problems are not inflated, ABW.BY contacted Kia Sportage Fans Club.
In total, four cars were found in Minsk (in two cases, the knocks were already "on hot"), of which three cars eventually took part in our "disassembly". Also invited the owners of two cars with a mileage of 70.000 and 140.000 km, which were not complained about the knocks.
Endoscope has problems. Saved from Russia "Video Wheel Pro" does not see the walls of the cylinders. It turns out that endoscopes in Minsk can be considered, no. There is only an individual entrepreneur, a car machine with an experience, which is engaged in engine endoscopy. By the way, it was almost a month ago a car was diagnosed, the internal content of the engine of which was shown at the beginning of the article.
Endoscope at the Master Special Medical. The probe can be rotated in any direction and bending with special "twist". The walls of the cylinders are visible very well. But the problem is that the device does not make a photo. There are two more Chinese electronic endoscope, but problems arose with them in the process of work. In general, we look at the cylinders with a medical optical endoscope.
The first inspected car of 2011 was already driving 87,000 km. Purchased new in the Belarusian dealer, after which was operated by one owner. After the end of the warranty, the stuffs "on the cold" appeared. Over time, they were present and after the engine warming, the truth is noticeably quieter. At the same time, small vibrations began to be felt before warming the motor.
The owner of the day before the experiment visited the KIA official dealer service station. The endoscope of the "official" was not found, but the mechanics on the hearing were determined that in the cylinders of the jackets. They say, this is a well-known problem, you need to open the engine and change the cylinder block worth about $ 4,000.
The owner claims that it goes well, the first kilometers presses the "gas" carefully. The car is serviced at the dealer in a timely manner. Moreover, he even reduced the interval from 15,000 to 10.000-12.000 km. In Carter, then the oil, which is recommended by our dealer, is Motul 8100 5W30.
Remove the coils, get the candle. And we see that the insulators of candles are punched. What is interesting, this picture was observed in all viewed Sportage, where NGK candles were used.
Moreover, even the candles that have been replaced less than 10,000 km back. The regulations of their replacement - as much as 30,000 km. Lot. But on one machine there were whole Bosch, so, most likely, the case is in the candlelight.
We look at the endoscope in the cylinders - we discover the strong incommensuits in the second and third cylinders, which, a total of two sides, occupy almost 2/3 of the entire circumference. In the fourth there are less than, but they are. The first cylinder is clean. According to the vehicle, he did not see scores in the upper part of the cylinders, which says that the scratches leave the "skirt" of the piston.
Running ahead: Nagar on the bottom of the pistons is found in all machines, somewhere less, somewhere else. The amount of deposits Master qualifies as "average", but on these runs there should be no such picture at all.
What's next? Over time, the problem progresses. The knocks will be enhanced, the strong maslip will begin. After a while, the motor will simply stop starting. Expensive repair of the engine (replacement of the cylinder block or sleeve) is no longer avoided. When it happens exactly, it is difficult to say.
The next car is 2011. Also bought in Minsk. At the moment, the mileage is 109.000 km, the warranty is over. The owner is concerned about the knocking "on the cold". The car was serviced on time, in the frost, a short time he warmed up, driving style calm. Applied total oils and zic 5w30. The dealer stopped serviced after the third that.
However, listen - the knock is perfectly audible and "on the hot". From all cars here we heard the most loud and clear knock. But even it is not heard in the cabin after heating.
As expected, the jackets were found in all cylinders. Moreover, the most problems in the second and third, where the bulbs are located on a large area around the circumference of the front and rear walls. In the first and fourth cylinders, there are fewer problems, although the loops are concentrated relatively in a small zone from the exhaust manifold, but they are very deep. Nagara on the bottom of the engine pistons of this car Most. In general, the most running option. But, according to the owner, Zhora oil seems to be not yet.
At the knocks, the owner of the next car did not complain. The mileage is only 76.000 km, the year of release - 2012, the owner bought it in Russia, when there were 42,000 km on the odometer. The service book with marks about the passage is in stock. In Russia, shell 5W30 oil was flooded in 11.000-12.000 km, in Belarus, the Kroon-Oil 5W30 oil is changed at 7000-8,000 km. Original orders are, original spare parts were used, so the owner hopes to preserve the guarantee in Russia.
In the first cylinder there are no loans, but in the fourth they showed strong scratches in a small zone from the exhaust manifold. In the second and third - small bully from the issue. At the knocks, the owner did not complain, but the motorist still heard "on the cold" small "clan". There is no oil consumption.
The next car came from Russia in 2015. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 86.000 km, now 115.000. The knocks after starting the engine appeared when the owner read the forums. Yes, maybe many people simply do not hear them.
The presence of problems in the cylinders was confirmed. On the walls of the second and third cylinders - the middle jackets from the exhaust manifold. The first cylinder is clean, in the fourth there is a pair of scratches on the back wall. Nagara relative to other machines is a bit, but still clearly not at 115.000 km of mileage.
It was this car that journalists tried to remove Chinese USB endoscopes. The first saw only the piston, the second one was recorded vertical scratches on the wall of the cylinder. True, rotate the camera managed to a small angle, so the wall is visible only at the very bottom. After five minutes of attempts, the probe overheated and the device turned off forever.
By the way, pay attention to the ends of the candle housing. It is in the second and third candles that carbon deposits are noticeable. So, if you have suspicion of jackets in G4KD, but there is no endoscope, you can try to unscrew the candles and look at the ends of the case. Black sediments will say that in the cylindropional group is not all right.
In general, the car is still driving, how much will erupt - it is unknown, but the problems have already begun.
Black Sportage 2012 I ran the most - 140.000 km, bought with a mileage of 40,000 km in Russia. There is practically nothing about maintenance there. The first fusion oil was surprised by the owner: according to the form or did not change it for a very long time, or it was counterfeit. The sticker says that shell oil was pouring. After purchase, the owner uses Zic 5W30. On the oil probe, the black crust of sediments was formed - the owner had to count it for a long time. The engine sounded very loud, but after the service began to work fine.
In Belarus, the car was serviced properly and in a timely manner, but the owner admits that he loves to press the Gaza pedal well. True, it makes it only after a complete engine warming up, before that it goes carefully. Also installed autorun, so the engine in front of the start is heated for some time at idle.
The owner did not declare any foreign sounds, it was a completely random car, but "on the cold" knocks still audible.
We looked at the oil level, they estimated which it was 5000 km back, - a small consumption is still present, approximately 200-250 g for 5000 km.
In the first cylinder only one scratch. The second cylinder from the output is medium-sized jackets, and the same as the previous car. In the third cylinder, medium scratches are located on both sides, in the fourth - only on the back wall, but deep enough. The angle of accommodation is 15-20 °.
Carbon deposits are on the ends of three candles, except for one - the first cylinder, on the wall of which only one scratch.
What is the result? We disassembled one engine. There were five more engines - they discovered loops in all. In three out of five cases, the owners declared the presence of a knocks - these cars were taken on endoscopy specifically to find out the reason for the knocks. The other two are chosen completely by chance, about the knocks and any problems the owners did not speak.
To be honest, it is strange that in all three cars with the stated presence of foreign sounds there will be any problems. After all, it can knock anything or not to knock. Car enthusiast can take for outsided sounds The usual shock is nozzles, problems with the timing drive or the operation of non-regulated valves, since there are no hydrocompensators at G4KD, the valves must be adjusted. But no, in three cars - Zadira. In addition, they showed out in cars whose owners did not hear any knocks ... And another car with a knock and did not reach the endoscopy. In general, it is surprising.
Any pattern of identifying could not be revealed. Carters from these engines are distinguished: there is both 4-liter and 6-liter. There were mainly cars on the inspection filling capacity 6 l, but it is unlikely to influence something. Oils were used very different. Service, as the owners assure, was carried out only on the regulations, and some of them reduced the oil replacement interval. Two cars were bought in Belarus, four are driven during the favorable course of the ruble from Russia. Some cars were served by official dealers, There are service documents, others - on unofficial hundred. "Automatic", "Mechanics"? No matter.
The only thing that was detected - different machines Zadira are developing with different "intensity". At one of them, on mileage 115.000, the beginning of the occurrence of problems, and the second on 87,000 km will soon need to be repaired. Also, judging by the reviews, the problem did not touch owners Mitsubishi.Under the hood of which a copy of G4KD - 4B11 is installed. At least nothing hear about it.
There is an opinion that the problem lies in poor-quality services russian cars, counterfeit butter, bad gasoline and aggressive ride, especially "on the cold". Of course, illiterate exploitation aggravates the problem, but if it were the main reason, then half of the Belarusian and Russian cars would have stood in line on the engine overhaul.
You can guess about the reason before infinity, besides, we are not Kia or Hyundai engineers, we have no statistical data. But there is an assumption of experienced carkers that everything is fault - a mistake in the calculation of thermal extensions. As it seems to us, the version looks very convincing.
"When designing any engine, the coefficients of the body are calculated and the coefficients of the temperature expansion of the body are calculated," said Aleksandr. - In this case, most likely, we are talking about the wrong selection of the heat gap in the pair of "piston - cylinder" or an incorrect choice of piston material and its shape. When the engine is running, especially in the increased range of revolutions, the oil film is disappeared from the walls of the cylinder with the transition to semi-dry friction. The consequence of such an engine operation is jackets or "grab" on the cylinder walls. Increased gaps in the assemblies of the CPG due to semi-dry friction gives rise to the piston and occurrence The knob in the engine caused by the strikes of the "skirt" of the piston at the smoke of the cylinder wall. The situation exacerbates the high degree of forsing and temperature mode Motor, visually insufficient area of \u200b\u200bwater channels block or insufficient operation of the water pump. In favor of this version, it is said that always the most damaged - the second and third cylinders, that is, the most thermally loaded to remove from the water pump. Based on the above, most likely, there is a constructive miscalculation.
Can the incorrect operation of the CU cause such serious problems with the engine? Not. Riding on an immentable engine can be exacerbated, but it cannot be the main cause of a malfunction. In the global engine practice, there are a lot of motors with aluminum blocks, and with the walls of cylinders such problems does not occur. For example, DVS RENAULT / VOLVO B5254 or a turbated six-cylinder version B6284T. The manufacturer is laid by the admission when calculating the CPG, as well as the absence of the need for a special engine running after the assembly.
Does the quality of fuel and fuel affect the occurrence of jackets in the cylinders? No, does not affect. The presence of at least one detonation sensor in the G4KD injection system will not allow the engine to operate on a fuel mixture causing devastating detonation due to poor-quality fuels. The nature and type of wear can not be caused by detonation, as the "skirt" is damaged, and not the bottom of the piston. There are no plates that burst rings and interclause bulkheads. Quality fuels unreasonable replacement expressed in the form of resinous / varnish sediments on engine parts and cause premature liners wear crankshaft, "Logging" rings and increased oil consumption. There were no such problems to reveal such problems. "
Often in the blocks of engines there are oil nozzles, which are designed to water the piston oil from below, thereby cooling them, as well as improving cylinder lubrication. In the atmospheric version of this motor there are no such nozzles, they are only in the turbocharged version of the Japanese 4B11T, as well as in all diesel engines that are put on Sportage. Some motorists believe that it aggravates the situation with the G4KD absence, the piston overheats, which leads to a decrease in the gap.
True, there are engines and without oil nozzles, which do not have problems with jackets. In nozzles, it is difficult or not, it is difficult to say, but at will, you will certainly be embedded in a block with overhaul. It may also be possible to help the installation of a water-oil heat exchanger from the "senior" engine G4KE, as the lack of circulation of oil "on the cold" in the winter period also aggravates the situation. True, we did not conduct any calculations and expertise, so all this is only assumptions.
How to solve the problem if the motor staped and began to consume butter on the avgar? Two options are available: or replacing the cylinder block, which is very expensive, or the plot of the block, which is also expensive, but at least it makes sense. The second option is most common. Standard pistons and rings, sleeves (suitable from Toyota), a set of gaskets and other necessary parts for repair will cost, as we counted, about $ 1000. With work and other trifles, it turns out a round sum: for example, for repair Sportage From the very beginning of the article, the owner gave $ 1750 - a lot. At the same time, how many motor passes after the guilzovka, it is not known to anyone, there are enough nuances here, hardly as much as the factory engine. If the car is under warranty - you are saved: there is a chance that the unit will be replaced under warranty.
Replacing the aggregate on the contract? Also an option, but they are still not on sale. And if they appear, they recommend buying such a used unit only after the CPG endoscopy.
It is not yet known whether this problem, the statistics of the automaker and technical examination of journalists do not have. While in Belarus really fixed single cases.
But in any way you need to be guided by a number of recommendations. High-quality oil changes at least once every 10,000 km, to pour only 95th gasoline. On traffic lights forget forever - the heavy loads of this motor, apparently, does not like. It is important to carefully ride until the engine output to the operating temperature. At the same time, "in the tension" is also not worth riding, but at the same time the "gas" pedal must literally stroke. Especially careful should be in winter, it is recommended to warm the engine before starting or installing an autonomous heater.
And what will the representatives of the exclusive distributor of the KIA brand in the Republic of Belarus "Avtopalasses-M" say?
"The service of our car center received single appeals on the specified problem with the G4KD engine. Basically they were associated with non-compliance with the rules of operation of the car: tough exploitation, ignoring winter conditions, using low-quality fuel and fuel, etc. Almost all appeals from legal entities, which such attitude towards the car prevails.
Warranty obligations are always executed if the Customer's claim is justified. In particular, we, as a rule, cannot prove that the car has been tight operation, for example high revs On a cold engine, then the vehicle assembly is subject to a warranty. In this case, such cases for the specified engine were very small. There can be no speech about the mass.
We recommend that all car owners carefully read and follow the instruction manual, carefully refer to the recommendations of the masters, to use only high-quality fuel. This Council is universal for owners of any cars with any motors.
Are there any problems with the new generation of crossover? Specified Engine 2.0 was used for the models of the previous Sportage. New model Sportage Qle, which comes to Belarus from May 2016, is equipped with a new engine. "
Hyunde Avtograd LLC also suggests that cases with jackets in the engines of their Hyundai IX35 are single. Perhaps it is.
While we will not say anything 100%, but the story with G4KD is strange. Yes, six cars are a drop in the sea of \u200b\u200bcars sold with this engine (not only Kia Sportage), we really have a lot. In the Minsk club of Sportage lovers, already 50 cars with runs around 100,000 km. And yet, no one of them did overhaul, most of the owners on the knocks do not complain. Nobody is going to change cars in the club too.
But such noise on the Internet arises for no accident, and the results of our endoscopy of five engines and disassembling one, to put it mildly, surprise. In general, time will show.
