2010 Sorento replacement of main driving door locks, belts and cleaning three-way catalytic operations

September 2, 2024

Since I purchased Dasuo in June 2010, I have been with me for 12 years. For twelve years, I have been diligent and hardworking, and I have never left me halfway!And I only drink No. 92 coarse grain, which is very durable and durable. So far, I have traveled a total of 132,000 kilometers. Because I only use it to commute to work on weekdays, the number of kilometers is not much. Unlike many of the 12 car owners in the forum, which have hundreds of thousands of kilometers. I basically keep it 10,000 kilometers a year. Last week, it was discovered that the mechanical part of the door lock on one side of the main cab was defective. The door could be opened normally from the inside, but it could not be opened from the outside. It was very troublesome every time I got on the bus. Sometimes I unlocked it from the back door, and sometimes I unlocked it from the co-driver.We found one of our local (Wuhan) auto repair shops to replace it. When we entered the factory, we found that the engine valve cover gasket was also damaged, causing oil leakage, so we simply replaced it together. It’s equivalent to a major health care. The store owner used to work as a maintenance technician at the imported Kia 4s store. He is very familiar with imported Kia models and is very handy at doing it. So it saved most of my time! Now I will describe to you the specific health care operation process!

Start removing the driver’s side door liner

For the first time in 12 years,

The materials are still very kind

This is the faulty door lock. It is only a mechanical failure, not a circuit failure. The electronic control is normal.

The production date for the old parts is April 2010, and I picked up the car in June! At least not in stock.

This is a picture of the final completion of the door lock construction and resuming normal loading

Start the second item of health care: replace the valve chamber cover pad. The inside is very clean. I have been using Castrol All-Synthetic and have never changed to another brand.

The old gasket no longer has any tension or elasticity

Item 3: Replace the belt and tensioner and idler pulley

Replace the idler gear and make it shiny and polished

The replaced belt has only been in service for five years, and it is still in good condition. Unfortunately, the tensioner and idler pulley were not replaced in 2017. Only the belt was replaced, which means that it was not replaced! All replaced this time
