The Kia Sorento Thread [Merged]

Otep - thanks for the info. Still on VGT (might as well ask this in this forum) the Santa Fe's specs says its VGT and is written on the brochure, no badge though. Would you know if this is true ?

[OTEP]

Yep, the Sta. Fe is VGT. It does not really need a badge as all diesel Santa Fe's are VGT units unlike the Sorento which is availble with a fixed geometry turbocharger.

Good Day everyone!

May minor query lang ako tungkol sa aircon vent ng Sorento. Everytime I start the engine, the vents are always open. Pag nakalimutan i-press di masyado lumalamig and of course I get to smell outside air. Dati naman, close sya pag start ko. Any procedure that i forgot to do or do I have to go to the casa to have it reprogrammed.

Thanks!

Hi CRG

What i do is turn the aircon off before turning off the engine, in that way, it remembers its last known settings when you turn it on....

Btw, I saw sa sorento V6 for sale at a used car dealer. 2005 model priced at P850 thou. Don't know the mileage though. My point lang is, parang masyado low ang pricing ng vehicle considering its features, naka-focus na lang yata sa gas mileage per liter. Anyway, just a comment.

Crg, did it work for you?

Sa unit ko, it will automatically set the vents to open maski na it was in recirculate mode ng turn off ko ang engine. It's good naman if you'll park the car sa mga open parking para di mag build up ang init sa loob. Kaya lang as what CRG mentioned, pumapasok ang amoy. I don't know too if casa can change the setting of the vents.

Hi Gregg!

Sorry for the late reply, quite busy the past 2 days.

Tried it bro but open pa rin ang vents. Will ask Kia on my next check-up.

I saw in one Sorento site the 2007 Sorento headlamp with LED signal lights and HID. I just don't know if it will fit the older Sorento model. Sporty at astig ang dating. Checked with my dealer pero wala pa daw sila. Gregg_g kung mapadaan ka sa sabi mo na vendor ng Sorento accessories sa cebu paki check naman. TIA

[gregg_g]

Yep, will do...

[jeanpierre]

Yep, will do...

Thanks gregg_g! At least mag mukhang updated naman Sorie natin. Sa ibang ammenities medyo okay na unit natin at di naiiwan sa mga bagong car tech that's being introduced ngayon.
