Asked by Wiki User

Open both front doors, remove everything, replace heater core, reinstall everything. Don't laugh, that is pretty much what you have to do. If you want to tackle the job yourself I would suggest purchasing a shop manual for that vehicle to help you through step by step.

How do you removie a 2006 Kia Sportage radio?

Radio Removal 2004 Spectra/2005 Spectra

I have a 2005 Spectra...I have been told they are the same with removal of the radio.

First, remove the two screws located in the plastic trim, just above the clear lens of the speedometer assembly. These two screws are the only things holding the plastic in that goes all the way around the stereo and climate controls. Carefully insert a flat tool (flathead screwdriver) between the trim surrounding the radio and dashboard. The trim will easily pop off. Be careful not to break any of the spring action clips that hold the trim snug to the dash. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the radio from the mount you see, four screws in all. The radio slides out from behind the trim and you unplug two wires and the wiring harness. There's a little tab on the top of the harness that needs to be depressed. Once it's pushed in, this should slide right out and you are ready for a new stereo.

The front O2 sensor is located at the bottom of the heat shield just before you get to the exhaust. It has a wire connected to it. Hard to miss. You will have access to this from the top of the car.

Resetting check engine light on Kia Sportage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Repair the source, light will go out if that was the only problem. There are "monitors" or self tests the computer runs the car through a drive cycle, if a problem occurs, it may not run all of the self tests until that problem is taken care. Therefore, another problem may exist. It is emission related. OR hook up a scanner that is capable of clearing codes, and hope that none are still active. Disconnecting the battery can create other headaches and will not likely solve your dilemma. Best bet is to contact the local snap-on dealer and have him refer you to a known good shop that specializes in this technology-he will know. The " check engine light" is by far one of the most misunderstood technological advances by the public. This is an needed in-depth understanding for the public. It is a warning light that is illuminated when there is a problem affecting the EMISSION SYSTEM only. Emission system being the pollution control system. Don't get a hard on against it as it is a good thing once you understand it. One point that was brought up a a recent meeting of technicians was that the amount of hydrocarbons is greater when the gas cap is left off than when the engine is running. Hydrocarbons are part of pollution emitted as gasoline evaporates. Going a step farther, one facet of the emission system is the "Evaporative" portion. This is when the fumes from the gasoline are leaking from the system into the outside air. This is one part of the emission system that can trigger a check engine light. I would say that about 7% of the vehicles that have a check engine light are the result of a loose or inadequate gas cap. But understand that many scenarios are possible with the "check engine light" The vehicle's powertrain computer (note that some vehicles have 17 different computers) will run a series of self-tests. They will only run under certain criteria. And they can be vastly different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some self-tests are not run until preceding ones have run successfully. So if there is a problem in one particular area that is preventing another self test from running, you can have a situation where one problem is fixed, but another still exists. If you fix a problem and drive the car through a drive cycle that sets the monitor (or self test) the light will go off as it passes that criteria that triggered it in the first place. After 1996, the auto industry went to a idea called OBD II (on board diagnostics). This was to get all the manufacturers onto a similar plane for troubleshooting and powertrain control. While they still differ vastly, many corrections and adaptations were made for technicians to better fix the check engine light problems. Prior to this there were so many different and poor troubleshooting data from a check engine light problem that resolving the problem was much more difficult. Many early warning light of this nature were set to illuminate based on mileage. An Oxygen sensor was one of the things that were meant to be replaced when that mileage was hit. This is much like many current "Change oil lights

What would be the problem if you found oil in the back spark plug chamber on a 2000 Kia Sportage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Hve you noticed any other leaks like anti freeze spilling into the passanger side foot rest. also if you bought it used if the rad mixture is chalky, someone mixed a sealant compound in to temporarily fix the leaking head gasket? if it is it could very well be a faulty head gasket, once they break oil can get into alot of places. get that checked before you get an 850$ repair job like i did. Goto mechanic asap.

Could be the valve cover gasket leaking there.

the problem is the valve cover gasket on the inside part has let go allowing oilo to leak into the spark plug tubes. Clean oput oil and replace gasket for valve cover.

How many inches are wiper blades 2000 Kia Sportage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 2000 Kia Sportage takes 20" replacement windshield wiper blades on both sides front and a 16" rear wiper blade.

However, when buying windshield wiper blades be sure to always use the application guide book at the store, or now-a-days you can Google 'lookup wiper size'. You want to look this up because correct wiper fit is more than correct length, it's also proper attachment. Not all attachments fit all arms. Using the application guide or looking up wiper size online will avoid headaches of buying the right lengths with the wrong attachments.

Additionally, the installation process is simple. The replacement wiper blades will come with step-by-step, illustrated instructions and once you have the instructions and the wiper blades/arms in your hands and in front of you, it will all make better sense and will an easy maintenance task. Very simple and takes 5-15 minutes usually not requiring any tools.

If in your budget, upgrade to the newer-style frameless "beam blades" which perform better than conventional framed wipers. I use Trico NeoForm Beam Blades which are fantastic.
