Kia Sedona 2007D 2007 - Engine knocking noise - Fixed #

Posted by Nigel Yardley on January 27, 2015, 11:15 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2007
Engine Size and Code *: Diesel

This car had a strange engine knocking noise, like a crank pulley, or big end. We removed the sump and found the gear that drives the balance shafts/ oil pump had several damaged teeth.
Our local Kia dealer say this is becoming quite common, a new bush is also required, which is available, however we also needed a 1.5 mm thrust washer, that we had to have made by a local engineering firm.

These can also whine like an over-tight fan-belt just before break-up.
Kia - goodwill, have paid for an entire engine & turbo on a 6 year old one, due to gear failure causing loss of oil pressure. Scrapped the engine and turbo. So if the engine has Kia service history, contact Kia first.

The parts required are:

Remove no.1 bearing cap and machine a 3mm recess for the thrust washer to sit in and machine the washer centre hole to accommodate the spindle (we use a local machine shop):

It should look something like this:

Hi

what sort of mileage are these failing at ? should we be recommending preventive repair rather than waiting till they fail ?

Cheers Aidan

There appears to be no rhyme or reason to their actual failure.
The last one I did, had only done 33k, but I've had them in for service with 90k and no signs of a problem.

Bare in mind the 33k one which required Turbo/engine + ancilliaries (circa ~£9500) had full, dealer service history too.

And i suspect a very deaf driver to continue driving with the noise they make without getting it investigated....

Ours had done 80k with very sketchy service history, he had had the noise for several months before investigation.
