DIY kia carens repair

Hello.
In the month of May, you sorted out the engine to my father on Karens, state number 820, giving a guarantee for the bulkhead. The motor was after! Oil starvation !. We received about 60 thousand rubles for the repair!
Not having passed even three thousand km. engine on the way to Yaroslavl! on the go! overheated due to the airiness of the system and apparently due to a punctured cylinder head gasket, as they said in Yaroslavl. In Yaroslavl, of course, they refused to repair the car, because no new cylinder head bolts.
Having brought on a tow truck for 10 tr. from Yaroslavl to your service, it turns out that my father specifically overheated the motor and you all sorts of idiotic guesses discard responsibility for poor-quality repairs!

As a result, you have already UNKNOWN my father BY ANOTHER 70 TR! You demand an advance payment for every sneeze! And the motor has not yet been made. The car was handed over to you a month ago. He has to go to work on foot in the heat. Does he look like a boy?

It didn’t occur to me that he’s been a pedestrian for a month.

Gentlemen, are you crazy? You have completely lost your conscience and fear. Personally, do all sons need to come and stand up for their old man?

I demand an immediate explanation! Why is the repair not guaranteed? you yourself admitted that you tightened the cylinder head on the OLD BOLTS!

I do not know who my father communicates with from the foremen, but according to him, you need to call every day and remind you that you have a car for repair and it needs to be repaired.

Gentlemen, owners of the service, please sort out this shameful situation for you!

On my Kia Carens car, which is somewhat similar to Lifan, I was smiled with its exterior and technical characteristics, I have already traveled a considerable distance, the odometer clocked over 62 thousand kilometers. After a little thought, I decided to clean the throttle assembly. I didn't have much money, so I decided to carry out this procedure myself. My hands, thank God, do not grow from the fifth point, so I was not afraid to take on this business. To begin with, we need to drive to the store and purchase spare parts and means for cleaning parts. When everything is purchased, we drive the car into the garage and start work. We need to remove the air pipe that distills air from the mass air flow sensor to the throttle. The second step will be to disconnect the two chips from the TPS and the Idle Air Regulator. In order to remove these chips, we need to unscrew the four mounting bolts. Next, carefully remove the throttle, then disconnect the two tubes for heating the throttle.

After the throttle is removed, you will see what horror is going on inside. The throttle valve is covered with some kind of resinous mass, which in the future could disrupt the engine idling.

We should wash off this mass. In order to clean the damper from carbon deposits and any nasty filth, we need a solution for cleaning carburetors. Water the choke liberally with a cleaner and wait about fifteen minutes for the liquid to be absorbed into the plaque. Further, with the help of a toothbrush or a soft brush, we begin to clean off the dirt from the damper and the walls of the throttle shaft. Then we pour over the part with the cleaner again and wait again. We repeat the operation with the brush again. When the throttle is completely clean, you can reinstall it.

This is done in reverse order. When all parts are in place, a test run can be performed. If the car, after cleaning the throttle, behaves incorrectly, or to be more precise, work at high revs, then you will need to disconnect the battery terminal and reconnect it. This is done in order to reset the car electrical system settings and bring it to the default state. Good luck with your car repair.

Repair of the Kia Karens engine can be major, or it can be partial. The type of repair is determined only after diagnostics by a minder. Partial overhaul of a Kia Carens engine may include replacing the GBK gasket, replacing valve stem seals, replacing valves. Partial repairs usually do not include removing the engine block, boring, grinding, liner, etc.

You should not make the decision to repair the Kia Karens engine on your own. People often come to the service who say - “my neighbor told me that I need to change the cylinder head gasket and everything will go away”. Of course, we can listen to the client and go to a meeting, but if this does not help in solving the problem, all responsibility will fall on the client, and not on the service minder who diagnoses and is responsible for him.

When to repair the engine:
- increased consumption of engine oil in the internal combustion engine;
- smoke from the exhaust pipe;
- carbon deposits on spark plugs;
- uneven engine idling;
- increased consumption of gasoline;
- significant drop in engine power;
- knocking in the engine or extraneous sounds that were not there before;
- low oil pressure in the engine;
- the engine is overheated.

Warranty for work- 6 months no mileage limit.

Engine diagnostics during repair with us is free!

The final cost of an engine repair depends on many factors. Often, people disassemble the engine themselves, trying to make engine repairs with their own hands. When it comes to the understanding that they cannot assemble it themselves, they bring us a disassembled engine. When you call the service station, please specify the current condition of the engine and you will be told the exact cost of its repair.

If the car is not in motion, we can send a tow truck.

Recently I noticed that when the Kia Carens car was closed from the remote control button, it stopped giving a signal in the form of double blinking of the parking lights. It is logical to assume that one of the four doors will not close. And there is. The rear left left door refuses to close when the central locking is activated. I began to understand, and realized that the button inside on this very door, which is responsible for manual opening and closing, is jammed. Numerous twitches led nowhere. It was decided to disassemble the doors. Having reached the entire door lock assembly, I discovered that the electric drive mechanism had jammed. Dismantled the entire assembly of the lock and disconnected the electric drive. It turned out to be unattended. I called the dealers of Korean auto parts and was upset, the electric drive module is not sold separately, but only the whole lock. OK. Nothing to lose. I will try to disassemble.

Kia Carens electric lock is ready for disassembly.

The reverse side of the electric lock.

Daeki electric lock - Automotive Security System

In order to separate the upper part of the lid, I try to use a Powertec drill.

We use a cut-off wheel for a burmashinka.

We begin the separation process.

We remove the plastic rocker.

Now you can start removing the cover.

And here are the units of the electric lock.

We remove the plastic mechanism above the gear.

We remove the plastic gear near the worm.

We see a broken spring above the plastic gear due to corrosion. It is a pity that the photo has not survived, where literally the entire inner space of the castle was in "rusty dust".

Here is a closer look at the remains of the spring.

Disassembled electric lock. I didn’t pull out the electromagnet itself with the plastic worm.

Having picked up a steel wire of the required diameter, I asked my father to make a spring. It turned out 8 turns. Spring diameter 25mm.

After testing, we collect. They did not put the lid on the glue. We made a hole in the center and connected with a bolt and nut.

Done Deal was applied to the body joints.

Here are the things. Could and apply anti-corrosion words to the metal of the spring. Surely, all these pressure washers with the use of chemicals caused the spring to break.

Kia body and design
Carens 2013

The design team at the Korean company is led by
permanent head designer Peter Schreier and I must say that this model he has
and designers came out with a somewhat unusual appearance, here a combination of sports
swiftness and original features of KIA. Body shape compact MPV Carens
looks a lot like a hatchback, at least that's the first impression. Topics
no less, it is a fairly roomy and comfortable family minibus,
created on the platform from Kia ceed, which in turn is quite long and
spacious. The fact is that the new generation Kia Carens has absolutely
new, revolutionary design, which is why it looks smaller than the older one
fellow.

At the front, the Kia Carens stands out for its modern equipment and
original-looking large double headlights, in which, in addition to powerful
head light installed LED daytime running lights. False radiator grille
practically did not change and retained the style of its predecessors. Korean
the manufacturer says that in this form the grille is as similar as possible to the nose
tiger, however, everyone has different fantasies. Asian manufacturers, in particular
Koreans have an original taste and design. In addition to air intake through
radiator grill, at the bottom, on the front bumper, there is a large
two-level air intake, which is cleverly protected by a mesh. By form
the air intake resembles a trapezoid, from which to the vertical anti-fog
headlights are stamped in the form of grooves.

If you go to the side of the car, then the slope of the frontal
glass, the angle is very large due to the pillars of the front frame, the roof is made with
sloping down almost immediately from the top. The back ends
roof spoiler neat. The sill is high throughout the body,
four rectangular windows, the front windows are quite large with good visibility.
The front and hind fenders stand out vividly, swollen and at the same time very
harmonious wheel arches that merge with the stampings at the bottom
stretched along the entire length of the body.

A look from behind reveals a neat and at the same time powerful
the stern of the compact van. Karens of the third generation, as already written, is indigenous
changed the appearance, it is noticeable both in the body and in the external elements.
The large rear lighting equipment stands out clearly, in addition to the stylish dimensions, it is visible
filling of LEDs, which is present in sufficient quantity in the front.
Large rear bumper is made in conjunction with a spoiler that stands out unpainted
plastic. The tailgate is quite compact, almost perfect
rectangle, through it you can see a large and roomy trunk.

As for the dimensions of the 2013 Kia Carens minivan, then
the exact dimensions were not provided, however the manufacturer from all over
with responsibility assured that the novelty will fully satisfy the size
compact van, as well as the fact that it will be larger than its base donor Kia
ceed. As for the well-known wheelbase, it is equal to 2750 mm.

Kia trim and interior
Carens 2013

Considering that this is a minivan, then its interior really
spacious and comfortable, there is enough light inside, a lot can still depend on
on how many seats the salon will be made of, as they said, there is
the ability to install 5 and 7 seats. In the case of the third row, then he, of course,
slightly constrained by the size of free space, although children or adolescents will themselves
feel good. The second row has three seats, which
provide three separate chairs with the possibility of individual adjustment
backs. In addition, the seats move along, the back can be reclined
horizontally. There is more than enough space in the second row in all directions and
floor without any protrusions.

The backrests of the second row seats can be folded without any problems, behind
the second row also transforms the third row of seats, as a result it turns out
ideally flat surface of the trunk, on such an area you can transport a very
large loads. If you need to further increase the dimensions
luggage compartment, in addition you can push forward the front
the passenger seat and fold the backrest. This will give you almost another meter in length.
luggage carrier, so you can accommodate cargo longer than 3 meters.

The front seats of the driver and passenger are made one by one
structures, they are quite comfortable, there is effective lateral support in the form
rollers. It would be appropriate to assume that the dashboard and center console would
are similar to one of their predecessors - Sid or Karens, but this is not the case. V
the new Kia Carens everything is original and made in a new way, like the interior
does not look like brothers either in decoration or design. Here in the center on the console
installed 7-inch touchscreen monitor, multifunction steering wheel with comfortable
the location of the buttons, below the screen there is control
climate control. The driver's dashboard is very large and accommodates
two circles for devices and in the center between them convenient and easily visible
on-board computer screen with all the data, the panel is very ergonomic and
pleasing to the eye.

It is worth noting that Karens' novelty is quite rich
packed with a variety of modern systems, the management of which
produced via a touchscreen monitor and center console. However, on
the consoles are all very well located, all devices and buttons are visually clear
and there is no confusion. In general, it should be noted that the materials used, as well,
as well as the build quality at a very high level and there is nothing to complain about. Though
the manufacturer kept silent about all possible configuration options and installed
systems, but at the same time promises that the third generation Kia Carens will have
all possible new items of equipment. Used for finishing high quality
leather, heated seats are installed, and the first and second rows, front
the seats have ventilation, climate control, rear-view cameras and an assistant
rear parking, also installed the latest media system with all the inherent
for new items with playback functions, there is also a navigation system and much more.

Technical
2013 Kia Carens performance and chassis

Despite the fact that Karens has the same platform, it does not
less, the suspension is put here a little easier than that of Sid, but this does not mean
which is worse. MacPherson strut front struts, rear suspension
made in the form of a torsion beam. There are two positive aspects here at once. Firstly, it is a reliable and at the same time cheap solution, and secondly, it will allow
increase the volume of the trunk.

The line of units is represented by diesel and gasoline
engines, given that the last Goths, two concerns Hyndai and Kia work in
one direction, then the motors will be from this series.

The first gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, power 135 l / s, the second unit
2.0 l with a capacity of 150 and 163 l / s.

There are also two diesel engines. The first with a volume of 1.7 l,
engine power is offered as an option of 115 l / s and 135 l / s. Second engine
2.0 l with CRDI system, its capacity is 177 l / s.

In Kia Carens 2013 gearboxes are presented to choose from, automatic and mechanics,
but both directions are six-step.

As for the above mentioned characteristics of engines, then for
Russian configurations, they can be supplemented with power.

At the moment, the manufacturer has not yet announced the exact
cost, but depending on the configuration, the price will start from 850 thousand.
rubles for the basic model. More accurate data will be announced later.

It is no secret for the driver of Kia Karenz that the indicator on the dashboard "Check-Engene" is a Kia malfunction signal. In a normal state, this icon should light up when the ignition is turned on, at this moment a check of all Kia Carens systems begins, in a working car the indicator goes out after a few seconds.

If something is wrong with Kia Carens, then "Check-Engene" does not go out, or it lights up again after a while. It can also blink, which clearly indicates a serious malfunction. This indicator will not tell the Kia owner what exactly the problem is, it draws attention to the fact that a Kia Karenz engine diagnosis is required.

Since all foreign cars, not excluding Kia Carens, are tightly tied to electronics, a huge number of sensors monitor the operation of the car. Therefore, diagnostics of the Kia Karenz engine is, by and large, checking the most important unit of the car, with the exception of the suspension, which is checked mechanically.

There is a large number of specialized equipment for diagnostics of the Kia Karenz engine. There are compact and fairly versatile scanners that not only professionals can afford. But there are times when conventional portable scanners do not detect malfunctions in the Kia Carens engine, then diagnostics must be carried out exclusively with licensed software and a scanner from Kia.

Kia Diagnostic Scanner Shows:

• Throttle valve opening percentage;
• Engine speed in rpm;
• Kia Karenz engine temperature;
• Voltage in the on-board network of Kia Carens;
• The temperature of the air sucked into the engine;
• Kia Carens ignition timing;
• Fuel injection time by the injector. Displayed in milliseconds;
• Kia Carens air flow sensor readings;
• Engine load;
• Kia Karenz oxygen sensor readings;

Before diagnosing the Kia Karenz engine, you should listen to him, in normal condition it works quietly, monotonously, confidently keeps the speed. When you press the gas pedal, it steadily, without jerking, picks up speed, without extraneous sounds. At the same time, the exhaust is practically invisible. Also, in a normal Kia Carens engine, there can be no increased consumption of fuel and other fluids.

1. To diagnose the Kia Karenz engine, first of all, the engine compartment is inspected visually. A serviceable engine should not have any leaks of technical fluids, be it oil, coolant, brake fluid. In general, it is important to periodically clean the Kia Carens engine from dust, sand, dirt, this is necessary not only for aesthetics, but also for normal heat dissipation!

2. Checking the level and condition of oil in the Kia Carens engine, the second step of testing. To do this, you need to pull out the dipstick, and also look at the oil by unscrewing the filler cap. If the oil is black, and even worse black and thick, then this indicates that the oil has changed for a long time.

If there is a white emulsion on the filler cap or you can see how the oil foams, then this may indicate that water or coolant has entered the oil.

3. Checking spark plugs Kia Carens. Remove all plugs from the engine; they can be checked one at a time. They must be dry. If the candles are covered with an insignificant layer of yellowish or light brown carbon deposits, then you should not worry, such carbon deposits are quite normal and permissible, and do not affect the work.

If there are traces of liquid oil on the Kia Karenz candles, then the piston rings or valve stem seals are likely to be replaced. Black carbon deposits indicate an over-enriched fuel mixture. The reason is improper operation of the Kia fuel system, or a too clogged air filter. The main symptom will be increased fuel consumption.

Red plaque on Kia Carens candles is formed due to low-quality gasoline, which contains a large amount of metal particles (for example, manganese, which increases the octane number of the fuel). Such a plaque conducts current well, which means that with a significant layer of this plaque, the current will flow through it without forming a spark.

4. The Kia Carens ignition coil does not often fail, most often this happens due to old age, insulation is damaged and a short circuit occurs. It is better to change the coils in accordance with the mileage according to the regulations. But it happens that a breakdown is caused by bad candles or punctured high-voltage wires. To check the Kia coil, it must be removed.

After removal, you need to make sure that the insulation is intact, there should be no black spots or cracks. Next, a multimeter should go into the course, if the coil is burnt out, then the device will show the maximum possible value. You should not check the Kia Carens coil using the old-fashioned method for the presence of a spark between the spark plugs and the metal part of the car. This method takes place in old cars, while on Kia Carens, due to such manipulations, not only the coil can burn out, but also the entire electrics of the car.

5. Is it possible to diagnose engine malfunction by smoke from the exhaust pipe of Kia Carens? Exhaust can tell a lot about the condition of an engine. In the warm season, no thick or gray smoke should be visible from a serviceable car.

If white smoke is visible, then this may indicate a burnt gasket or a leak in the Kia Karenz cooling system. If the smoke is black, then at best these are problems due to an over-enriched fuel mixture. At worst, problems with the piston group.

If the smoke has a bluish tint, it means that the Kia Carens engine is using oil. In the best case, it will require replacement of the valve stem seals, in the worst case, the repair of the piston group. All this fumes clog up and shorten the life of the Kia Karenz catalyst, which cannot cope with the purification of such impurities.

6. Diagnostics of the Kia Karenz engine by sound. Sound is a gap, this is what the theory of mechanics says. There are gaps in almost all moving joints. This small gap contains an oil film that prevents parts from touching.But over time, the gap widens, the oily film can no longer be evenly distributed, friction of the parts of the Kia Carens engine occurs, as a result of which very intense wear begins.

Each node in the Kia Carens engine has a specific sound:

• A loud, frequent sound heard at all engine speeds indicates the need to adjust the valves;
• An even knock, which does not depend on the speed, is caused by the valve-distributor mechanism, which indicates the wear of its elements;
• A distinct short knock, increasing at higher revs, warns of the imminent end of the connecting rod bearing.

This is only a small part of the possible sounds as a result of certain malfunctions. Every Kia driver must remember the sound of a normally working engine in order to quickly respond to any changes in it.

7. Diagnostics of the engine cooling system Kia Karenz. With proper operation of the cooling system and sufficient heat dissipation, after starting the engine, the liquid circulates only in a small circle through the heater radiator, which contributes to the rapid warming up of both the engine itself and the Kia Carens interior in the cold season.

When the normal operating temperature of the Kia Carens engine is reached (about 60-80 degrees), then the valve opens slightly, i.e. the liquid partially flows into the radiator, where it gives off heat through it. In case of reaching a critical level under 100 degrees, the Kia Karenz thermostat opens to the full, and the entire volume of liquid passes through the radiator.

Together with this, the Kia Karenz radiator fan turns on, it contributes to better blowing out of hot air between the radiator cells. Overheating can damage the engine and require costly repairs.

8. Typical malfunctions of the Kia Carens cooling system. If the fan does not work when the critical temperature is reached, then first of all it is necessary to check the fuse, then the Kia Karenz fan itself and the integrity of the wires to it are examined. But the problem may turn out to be more global, perhaps the temperature sensor (thermostat) is out of order.

The performance of the Kia Karenz thermostat is checked as follows: the engine is preheated, a hand is applied to the bottom of the thermostat, if it is hot, then it is in good order.

More serious problems may arise: the pump fails, the Kia Karenz radiator leaks or clogs up, the valve in the filler cap breaks. If problems arose after replacing the coolant, then most likely an air lock is to blame.
