For those who want to have a printed edition of books on the repair of KIA Sportage, you can see (and optionally purchase) what was published and when, for example, on this site

ABS, airbags, Conder - there are also in Niva (go to the salon or go to the site and see). The view is also normal (if you are not lower than 160 cm), and the external design is even more interesting. It is easier to service the cornfield - you can service (repair) in any car service.

Not satisfied with the moment 127.4? A 175 FOR THE FIRST TIME? So it is at revs over 4000. And at low revs you will not feel the difference in the moments.
But you will feel the difference in service very quickly. If you have any spare part right away, then try to call any sportage service and they will answer you….

Owned Sportage in 98 for about 4 years. I can’t compare the price of repairs. once rode on Shniva. Heaven and earth. these are generally different machines. after that, Kia Sportazh checked out even more, but he corrected many generic jambs with his own hands (interior ventilation, an electric fan instead of a viscous coupling, sound insulation. but a 7-year-old Sportage is better than a new Shniva.

Well, Erikovich, and you have jokes! A 7-year-old Russian-made foreign car is already rubbish.
You then got rid of the 4 year old and are happy. Go bought a cornfield?

found something to compare, the niva is an accessible service, this is true, but it is also true that in three four years you will not get out of this service. Kia Portage is a car and not a basin. Even after 5 years, it will not crumble. Yes, noisy for a foreign car, but the consumption on the highway is impressive 8-9 liters. In terms of cross-country ability, it will not yield. Personally, I crawled where only 3 bridge KAMAZ pass. The only thing I regretted was that there was no DVR, otherwise I would have provided a report. As a fisherman, I really liked the Kia fisherman, not where there is asphalt, but where I want. And you don't need to convince me that the Chevy Niva is a car. Although if it gets really tight ... ..

Vladimir. I do not have a cornfield, but I already have a 5-6 year old one from a friend of a fisherman and a hunter with a range of about 150,000 km.
He will sell it and buy a new one. Yes, problems began to appear, but the engine is rather weak if you drive for 120 km / h. But to buy for the same money an old, at least 6 year old Kia sportage ...? This is Russian-made, but you can't find a Korean and a seven-year-old, at least it's stupid.
When the holy faith in that which is foreign and eternal leaves us.
For them, a 5 year old car is already rubbish, and we round our eyes and grab this rubbish in the hope that it will also drive.
Say the fuel consumption on the highway is impressive? I will not argue, but in the city it is definitely impressive - up to 18 liters and I know that for sure.

People help! The drive on the sportage of 1998 broke down, what to do, I just can't fix it, help with advice.

I agree with Vladimir.
they say, "He will sell it and buy a new one." for fun something to create hemorrhoids?
foreign car it is still a foreign car… albeit assembled in Russia.
2006 car. from nothing serious from breakdowns was not.except that the suspension was shaken up, but this is all because of our roads. (the federal highway Yekaterinburg-Khanty, a section of 200 km that has not yet been completed) traveled a lot on it in view of the need ... who is interested, see what the section is .. 2 cornfields crumbled from this road .. one is now driving .. the second is not visible yet.

Consumption on the highway in the field - 7.2 liters (Tyumen-Surgut) on a computer state, in the city -11-12 liters. For seven years of operation, I changed the front wheel bearing (factory defect) and the camshaft speed sensor for 200r. and EVERYTHING !! I love to skid in the winter at the dacha, every day I go there to feed the dog, I love berries and mushrooms in the summer. I often went to Nizhnevartovsk, etc. During this time, friends changed third foreign cars, each spent more than a lemon on loans and additional payments for new and beautiful things. Delirium is complete, as women really are. I will skate in the field for another three years and give it to the village, where it will be useful for another 10 years. And what about KIA? air conditioner - we have summer for only one week. Airbags when driving in the city no more than 60 km / h or in the countryside? The frame structure in such a crumb is the last century. There was a cornfield and only a few decades later appeared ... cornfield is a legend, and I don't even know the sportage.

Interesting people in Russia! There, over the hill, for the happiness of getting rid of a 5 year old car. We, on the contrary, buy a used one at a higher price. Check out the price tags for repairs, including the Kia Sportage.

The sportage car is noisy and it cannot be treated. This is caused primarily by an unsuccessful engine mount from the point of view of vibration isolation. In the same Vitara, with a smaller standard noise, it is noticeably quieter! Fighting noise in Sportyag is like fighting windmills. The only thing that makes sense to do is add ...

For anyone interested and relevant - it is possible to restore the ball upper levers on the Kia Sportage. Not for money, but yourself, with the help of a grinder and welding.
The procedure is very simple: we cut off the bottom of the ball joint, take out and diagnose the insides of the finger - if it is alive, wash it out, change the lubricant of the finger, ...

Let me remind colleagues that the industry produces three types of hubs for our cars (all-wheel drive clutches): vacuum semiautomatic devices, mechanical semiautomatic devices and manual hubs. I won't say anything about vacuum ones, they are not often found on Sportyagi, more often people have mechanical ones.

Not bad for light off-road, ...

Dedicated to those who decided on the Sportyaga lift or have it in their plans.
Those who switched to Sportage from cars probably paid attention to the rather “wadded” brakes. But after the "lift" of the suspension - they (brakes) become none at all. It's scary, of course, with bad brakes ...

• Prolonged and frequently repeated contact of the oil with the skin causes dryness, irritation and dermatitis, and in some cases, used oil can cause skin cancer

• When changing the oil, to avoid contact with it, it is recommended to use oil-resistant gloves. When washing your hands, use soap and water; it is not recommended to use gasoline, washes and solvents.

• Waste oil and used filters should be collected in specially prepared containers

Owning a good foreign car can be overshadowed by an unexpected breakdown. Let the Kia Sportage 1 be a reliable car, but even with it, troubles happen. Some drivers in this case shrug their shoulders, believing that they immediately need to go to a service center. In some ways, they are right, since repairs can be a difficult task, so it is more practical to turn to professionals. If you want to save money, you should think about individual malfunctions that you can fix yourself.

When evaluating the repair of Kia Sportage 1, you first need to figure out which structural elements can be restored on their own. You can not take on individual work, as they can harm the warranty and change the principle of operation of other units. What parts are worth repairing?

Experts suggest that you can cope with some actions with your own hands. To do this, you do not have to have the skills of a mechanic, so the car owner will cope with the breakdown. Practice shows how often people take up recovery without anyone's help.

It is possible to eliminate the breakdowns of the Kia Sportage 1 body if you take it seriously. The main problem is usually dents and scratches, which are a terrible problem. This is not true, since most of them remain only on the surface of the metal, spoiling the paint. In such cases, you do not need to contact the service center, you just need to use special tools.

Usually the repair is based on polishing the body surface. After that, the damaged surface takes on its original appearance, regaining its beauty. An experienced driver does not need to work for only 1 hour, so you should not be afraid of a scratch. If the damage is deeper than anticipated, you will have to go to a workshop to get professional help.
