FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE OF THE TIMING BELT

Timing belt replacement is part of the planned Maintenance of the Kia Sportage and plays an important role in the operation of the engine vehicle... Untimely replacement of the belt can lead to a malfunction of the motor, and an open circuit can lead to deformation of the valve of the gas distribution mechanism and the need for an overhaul of the engine.

All parts of the gas distribution mechanism are closely connected with each other, the injection of the air-fuel mixture drives the piston of the engine cylinder, which in turn pushes the crankshaft connected by the drive belt to the camshaft. Thus, the camshaft moves, which regulates the frequency of the valves. The Kia Sportage timing belt connects the gears and transmits torque from the crankshaft to the camshaft, affecting the speed of its rotation. If the system is working properly, the frequency of their revolutions should be equal.

TIMING BELT FAULTS

Timing belt wear leads to a change in the force of transmission of torque from the crankshaft to the camshaft, as a result of which there is a change in the frequency of movement of the pistons and engine valves. This, in turn, leads to a malfunction of the gas distribution system, rapid heating of the engine and, as a consequence, a decrease in engine power and an increase in the consumption of the fuel mixture. For reliable and uninterrupted operation of the motor, it is necessary that the valves close and open at the same frequency as the engine pistons. If, due to wear, slippage of the timing belt occurs, this can cause a break.
A break in the Kia Sportage timing belt is the most dangerous damage to the engine. In the event of such a malfunction, the camshaft ceases to be associated with the crankshaft and can stop completely arbitrarily in such a position in which any of the valves of the gas distribution mechanism will be open. In this case, the piston, moving upward, can collide with the valve, which will lead to its deformation. In this case, the car engine is in danger of serious repairs. It should be noted that a timing belt breakage does not occur unexpectedly, almost always this is accompanied by changes in the operation of the car's engine, a decrease in its power, a change in gasoline consumption, the occurrence of extraneous squeaks, squeaks, etc.

To prevent and prevent the operation of the gas distribution mechanism, it is necessary to periodically replace the timing belt, this will save the engine of the Kia Sportage car from damage, prevent premature engine wear and increase its service life.

REASONS AND ASSESSMENT OF TIMING BELT WEAR

Timing belt wear occurs for a number of reasons, avoiding which you can extend the life of the car engine.

To prevent complete wear of the timing belt, it is necessary periodically, when visual inspection timing mechanism, check for damage on the belt surface. To inspect and evaluate the belt drive, unscrew and remove protective cover mechanism under which the engine is hidden. The first signs of wear are:

the appearance of oil and antifreeze smudges capable of chemically destroy the timing belt, with prolonged exposure;
the occurrence of longitudinal cracks on the back surface of the belt;
the formation of transverse cracks on the inner surface of the drive belt;
a loose surface and a violation of the integrity of the edge are also a sign of wear;
the wear of the belt is also indicated by rubber dust on the surface of the part;
if the timing belt teeth began to peel off or wear off, the part must be immediately replaced with a new one.

SYMPTOMS OF THE TIMING BELT

Increased consumption of gasoline by car
Decreased engine power
Full stop of the car on the move, when trying to start, the engine does not start, and the starter rotates easier than usual
Unstable engine idling and in motion;
The occurrence of shots in the receiver of the injector and the exhaust pipe

All these malfunctions may indicate a shift in valve timing and a loosening of the belt tension. If on your Kia Sportage car you notice one or more of the signs and this list - immediately contact the service station for an inspection.

HOW OFTEN YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT Kia Sportage

The frequency of replacement of any car consumable depends on the driving style and operating mode of the vehicle. With extreme driving style and aggressive use of the vehicle, it is necessary to replace the timing belt as it wears out and the teeth wear off.

Under normal operating conditions, it is necessary to replace the original timing belt as planned, every 60 - 70,000 km. mileage. During this period, it develops its resource and becomes unusable. If your Kia Sportage has an analog belt, you need to replace it a little ahead of time recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

WHICH TIMING BELT IS BETTER TO CHOOSE

Modern belts for the gas distribution system are a high-tech product, characterized by increased strength and wear resistance, capable of withstanding high dynamic loads. Timing belts are made of neoprene or polychloroprene reinforced with durable fiberglass, nylon and cotton cords.

To avoid the mistake associated with buying a timing belt, contact the specialists who will help you order a timing belt suitable for your car's engine using the WIN code of your car. This part is one of the most important in the design of the motor, the slightest deviation in the length, width, shape and size of the teeth can lead to malfunctions in the engine of the Kia Sportage.
Do not try to save money when buying a timing belt, a cheap product can be a low-quality fake, which will quickly deteriorate and may cause serious engine damage in the future. The best option for any car, there are original parts, their cost is higher than analog ones, but during the operation of the car they quickly pay for themselves.
When buying a timing belt, check it for rigidity; a good belt should be elastic and easy to bend. The worse the belt, the more rigid it will be.
The presence of teeth, sagging, pores on the belt is not allowed - these are signs of a low-quality belt that will quickly become unusable. The surface of the product must be smooth, small burrs are allowed.
When buying by yourself, check the timing belt part number printed on the back, it must match the WIN code of the car. If it is not possible to compare the code of the belt and the car, then it is necessary to make a visual comparison of the old and new belt, they must be completely identical.
To avoid buying a fake, try to purchase spare parts only from authorized, verified dealers.
Do not save on a qualified timing belt replacement, contact our certified car service, where competent mechanics will help you repair your Kia Sportage car. And in the spare parts store, you can buy original spare parts for your car.

Many drivers forget about such a consumable as a timing belt. Its condition must be regularly monitored and changed in time. The article describes how to replace the timing belt on a Kia Sportage 2 with your own hands. A video is also attached, which describes the main stages of replacement.

[Hide]

In what cases is replacement necessary?

The timing belt is replaced according to the recommendations that are specified in the operating instructions for the Kia Sportage 2. Usually, the consumable for a gasoline engine and a diesel engine is changed after 60-90 thousand kilometers. The frequency of replacement depends on the conditions in which the car is operated and the quality of the product. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the timing belt both on a gasoline engine and on a diesel engine. It is recommended to make a check after 20 thousand kilometers or when extraneous noise appears in the engine area.

The need to replace a consumable is determined by the following criteria:

Defects can be caused by:

natural wear and tear;
weak tension;
excessive tension;
misalignment;
overheating of the belt.

It is necessary to change the belt in time, not allowing it to break. Since in case of a break, the valves can be bent, and on a diesel engine there are also pushers. In this case, an overhaul of the engine will be required.

Replacement instructions

The procedure should only be carried out on a cold engine. It is more convenient to work on a flyover, a lift or a viewing groove.

Required tools

From the tools you should prepare:

a set of keys;
set of heads;
jack;
torque wrench;
clean rags.

Stages

The procedure consists of two stages: removal and installation.

First you need to de-energize the vehicle. To do this, you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery.
To make it easier to work with the crankshaft, you must unscrew the spark plugs.
Next, you should drain the liquid from the cooling system.
Then you need to remove the belts of the suspension units.
The cooling fan is dismantled together with the bracket.
After unscrewing the mounting bolts, you need to remove the crankshaft pulley.
Then the upper and lower protective covers of the timing drive are removed.
Further, turning the crankshaft clockwise, you need to set the correct marks on the crankshaft and camshaft.
Having loosened the tension roller, take it to the side and remove the timing belt.
Then dismantle the tensioner.

Installation is in the reverse order:

We clean all surfaces from dirt.
A new tensioner roller is installed.
Checking the labels for alignment.
We begin to put on the belt from the camshaft gear. Moving clockwise, we wind the belt to its original place.
After loosening the tension roller, you need to turn the crankshaft two turns and check the marks for coincidence. If they do not match, you need to remove the strap and repeat the operation.
Next, check the tension and tighten the tensioner bolt.
Further installation of the removed components is carried out in the reverse order.

After aligning the marks, the shafts must not be turned.

Replacement on a Kia Sportage 2 diesel is carried out in the same way. After replacement, add coolant and start the engine to check.

Spare parts

Guarantee

Gas distribution system is rightfully considered one of the most critical parts of the car. Moreover - from correct work timing system largely depends on the correct operation of the engine, its power, dynamic characteristics, that is, to some extent, and the level of comfort while driving. Do not forget about fuel consumption - an incorrectly adjusted or faulty timing mechanism may well cause an increased "appetite" of the car.

In addition, grinding in the timing mechanism can result in the failure of the entire engine and costly overhaul power unit. That is why it is so important to maintain the timing system on time, periodically monitor its condition and make the necessary adjustments. Kia Sportage cars are equipped with a timing mechanism with a chain drive. In it, the synchronization of the crankshaft and the camshaft is carried out using a chain.

The use of this concept can significantly increase the reliability of the timing belt and the engine as a whole, because the service life of the chain significantly exceeds the service life of the timing belt. That's why replacement timing chain Kia Sportage- the procedure is infrequent. Control and adjustment work for timing chains is also carried out less frequently than for timing mechanisms with a belt drive.

However, given the important role that the timing plays in the operation of the engine, it is still not worth neglecting the maintenance regulations and the manufacturer's recommendations. And Kia engineers advise you to pay attention to the timing system, checking its condition within the framework of each MOT Kia Sportage.

It should be noted that, despite the fact that Replacing the Sportage timing chain is rarely required, it is very important to monitor the serviceability of all elements of the timing mechanism, including dampers and chain tensioners. After all, a loose or overly tensioned chain will wear out much faster, in addition, a deviation of the tension force from the recommended parameters can lead to stretching or breakage of the chain, with all the ensuing consequences such as bent valves and destroyed valve guides.

Of course, in this case, there is only one way out - replacing the Kia Sportage timing chain. By the way, replacing the timing chain is not enough - as a rule, this operation is carried out in a complex manner and the tension rollers and the chain damper are also changed. In this case, the resource of the timing system increases significantly. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that all the work provided for by the maintenance card, including the maintenance of the timing, must be performed carefully and in full.

At the same time, it is very important that all diagnostics and maintenance work is carried out only at specialized service stations, because to service or replace the Kia Sportage timing belt, special tools are required and the staff must have the appropriate skills. That is why the majority of Moscow owners of Kia for many years prefer to contact Hyundai-Kia-Service for servicing their cars.

The thing is that over the years, the employees of the technical center have accumulated vast experience in servicing and repairing KIA vehicles. In addition, Hyundai-Kia-Service has all the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment and related dealer equipment. We guarantee our clients the highest possible diagnostic accuracy, high-quality repairs and qualified service.
