    INTRODUCTION

    KIA Venga, whose world premiere took place in 2009, was completely developed in Europe, respectively, for the European market. The 4068 mm long car has an unusually long wheelbase (2615 mm) as well as a height (1600 mm) to increase interior space. KIA compares the interior space of the Venga with the space of C-class cars.
    And already at the end of 2010, the ix20 single-box appeared, which technically and structurally differs from the Venga only in the front part.
    The Kia Venga features a 60/40 split split seat which can also be folded flat to provide enormous luggage space. Depending on the configuration, buyers can also choose a panoramic glass roof, which will create a feeling of freedom and comfort.
    For people from Korea, a wide range of engines is available, represented by two diesel and two petrol units: a 1.4-liter CRDi with a power of 90 hp. s., 1.6-liter CRDi with 128 hp. s., 1.4-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 90 hp. s., and the 1.6-liter 125 hp. With. These engines can be combined with 5-, 6-speed manual transmissions or 4-speed automatic transmissions.
    Thanks to a rational approach, the designers managed to create a car with a spacious interior with wide transformation capabilities. Everything here is simple and convenient, no unnecessary details: an elegant dashboard, a comfortable steering wheel with adjustment for both tilt and reach. There is enough space in the back to comfortably accommodate three people.
    The Korean manufacturer did not skimp on the functionality of the basic configuration. Thus, the cheapest version already includes climate control, an MP3 radio with a large information display, a multifunction steering wheel, tire pressure sensors, power windows, electric side windows, airbags and a cooled glove box. The package also includes an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and an electronic stability program (ESP).
    Hyundai i20 is a compact hatchback that replaced the popular Hyundai Getz and is the donor platform for the Venga and ix20 compact vans. The car was first introduced in France in 2008.
    The differences in the configuration of the hatchback from its one-volume sisters are minimal. So, it is possible to install a 1.25-liter gasoline unit here and there is no version with a full glass roof.
    This manual provides instructions for the operation and repair of all modifications of the KIA Venga and Hyundai ix20, produced since 2009 and 2010, respectively.

The operational reliability of each vehicle directly depends on the condition it is in. A car will never fail on the road if it is regularly inspected and consumables are changed on time. You can change some parts of the car yourself, but to do this you need to have at least a basic understanding of its structure. Here we will talk about how you can change the timing drive on a Kia Rio 1.6 yourself.

The gas distribution unit serves to remove exhaust gases and to allow air to enter the cylinders. The air mass enters the cylinders due to the cyclic opening and closing of the valve system. This is possible thanks to the operation of the shafts that are connected by the drive. Some Kia Rio models use a chain as a drive, while others use a belt. Let's take a closer look at this.

Chain resource

Of course, the chain is more durable, since it is made of hard metal, and the belt is made of, albeit high-quality, but still rubber. Metal, by definition, lasts longer. The tension of the chain drive is provided by a hydraulic tensioner. This mechanism is automatically lubricated with oil, as it is located inside the motor system. The chain can be used up to 300,000 km, but over time it can stretch, so it is highly recommended to have it diagnosed at least after 40,000 km. If there is play between the links, the chain stretches. This can lead to consumables coming off the sprockets, and then serious repairs cannot be avoided.

The belt is made of rubber alloy, and has serious wear resistance. The belt is no longer built into the engine, but is located outside it. The tension of the belt drive occurs on the gears, which are protected by a plastic cover. The belt has to be changed more often than the chain; this should be done after 150-170,000 km. But the need to replace it may arise much earlier. This is influenced by a number of factors, the main one of which is driving under increased loads. If you use a trailer, then you should check the condition of the belt drive more often, as its use greatly wears out the belt. But increased loads are not the only factor influencing premature wear. Aggressive driving is also important. In this case, the belt also wears out faster. In this aspect, extreme weather conditions can also be mentioned. In severe frost, the belt freezes, and while driving it has to experience strong friction, this also affects wear. Finally, engine oil can get on the belt. This happens when the seal loses its tightness and begins to leak. In this case, it will also need to be replaced along with the belt drive. If this is not done, engine oil will continue to drip onto the new consumable. This will definitely hurt him, as the oil corrodes the rubber.

But what external signs will indicate that the belt is already worn out enough and needs to be replaced with a new one:

  • the outer and inner surfaces look clearly worn out;
  • the sides are frayed and individual threads stick out from them;
  • the material began to delaminate;
  • cracks and bulges are visible on the surface;
  • oil stains.

Above we talked about the chain. So, its main advantage is the fact that it never breaks. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the belt. If you do not monitor its condition, it can wear out greatly, resulting in its breakage. In this case, the car will receive serious damage, after which serious repairs will be necessary. Judge for yourself, as a result of a broken belt drive, the valves will collide with the pistons and bend. Other parts of the assembly will also be damaged, so it is better not to let it break. It is necessary to check the condition of the belt from time to time and change it if necessary.

You can also replace the belt drive yourself. Every car enthusiast can do this if he follows the instructions. To carry out such repairs, it is necessary to prepare the necessary tools and new consumables. Here's what we might need:

  • a set of keys;
  • set of heads;
  • screwdrivers with different tips;
  • pliers;
  • jack;
  • shaft clamp;
  • torque wrench;
  • new drive;
  • set of seals;
  • gasket set;
  • new tension roller (if necessary).

Replacement process
  • Remove the front wheel from the engine side;
  • Loosen and remove the tension belts of the mounted units;
  • Remove the clutch housing cover. To do this you will also have to unscrew several bolts.
  • We combine the marks. To do this, the crankshaft should be turned 2 turns to the right.
  • We fix the crankshaft so that it does not rotate. To do this, you can use a special clamp, or you can get by with a regular screwdriver. It is inserted between the crankcase and the teeth. Loosen the crankshaft pulley mounting bolt.
  • Now we dismantle the pulley.
  • Remove the spacer washer to expose the crankshaft sprocket.
  • We remove the pump.
  • After unscrewing several bolts, remove the lower casing.
  • Checking the alignment of the marks. The mark on the camshaft gear should align with the mark on the cylinder head.
  • We move the tensioner to the side, having first unscrewed the fasteners.
  • Remove the belt drive. If it is not removed for replacement, then marks should be placed on it that will indicate the direction of its movement.
  • 13. Before installing a new consumable, check that the mark on the camshaft sprocket aligns with the mark on the cylinder head.
    14. You should start tightening the gear from the camshaft gear and then counterclockwise.
    15. Let the automatic tensioner work by loosening its fastening bolt.
    16. Tighten all the bolts and check the tension of the belt drive. It should be optimal - without sagging or tugging.
    17. We check all the marks again and begin to assemble the mechanism in the reverse order.

    After replacing the belt drive, you need to check the operation of the engine. Start it up and listen to how it works. If there is extraneous noise, everything will have to be done again.

With regular technical inspection and timely replacement of consumables, the car will not let you down on the road. To replace spare parts yourself, you need to know the internal structure of the machine and the parts that require replacement. The article examines what is installed on a Kia Rio: or a chain, and also provides a comparative analysis of both consumables and a description of replacing the timing belt on a Kia Rio.

    Which is better: belt or chain?

    The gas distribution mechanism on the Kia Rio is designed to supply air to the cylinders and remove exhaust gases. Air is supplied by the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. The entire process is carried out using a camshaft and crankshaft connected by a chain or belt. What are the pros and cons of a strap and chain?

    The main advantage of the chain is durability. A chain is more reliable than a belt, since it is made of metal, and metal has a much longer service life than rubber. The chain fits onto the timing sprockets. Constant tension is ensured by a hydraulic tensioner. The mechanism is located inside the engine, so it is constantly lubricated with engine oil.

    The service life of the product is on average 150-300 thousand kilometers. But during operation, the chain stretches over time, so every 70 thousand km it is necessary to carry out a timing inspection. If play is detected, the tensioner must be changed, as it may jump over the teeth, which can lead to serious repairs. If play remains after replacing the tensioner, the chain must be replaced.


    A belt is a cheaper design, but less reliable than a chain. Although modern timing belts are made of a rubber alloy, which is wear-resistant. The belt drive is similar to the chain drive, but is located outside the engine compartment. The strap is not tensioned on the sprockets, but on the shaft drive pulleys, which are located on the front panel and protected by a plastic casing. Belt replacement is performed approximately twice as often as chains: every 70-150 thousand kilometers.

    Thus, we can conclude that the chain is more reliable than the belt. Kia Rio cars of the 1st and 2nd generations have a strap, but the chain is more reliable, so all versions of the 3rd generation have a chain drive.

    In what cases is replacement necessary?

    Although the chain is heavier and the chain mechanism has additional parts, this does not affect the reliability of the mechanism. It is recommended to change the chain on a Kia Rio as it wears out, after about 180 thousand kilometers or after 12 years of operation, it depends on which comes first. Replacement possible during engine overhaul.
    The belt has to be changed every 60 thousand km. But the main criterion for replacement is visual inspection. Replacement is carried out if the following defects are detected:

    • wear of surfaces, both internal and external;
    • frayed side edges;
    • peeling of material from the base;
    • cracks, tears;
    • traces of motor oil.

    One of the advantages of the chain is that it will never break. If the belt breaks, the valves may bend and the pistons may be damaged, which will require engine overhaul. Step-by-step instructions for replacement

    It is convenient to carry out replacement work on an inspection pit, lift or overpass. The car must be put on the handbrake and the wheels secured to prevent the car from moving.

    Tools

    From tools and materials you need to prepare:

    • set of spanners and sockets;
    • set of wrenches;
    • flat screwdriver;
    • engine supports;
    • torque wrench;
    • jack;
    • consumables (belt, tension roller).

    Repair kit for Kia Rio

    You should purchase only original consumables, this will save you from unpleasant surprises due to low-quality parts. If the reason for the replacement is traces of oil, the cause of the stains must be eliminated.

    Stages
  • First, the front right wheel is removed, then the protection on the right side of the engine.
  • The next step is to remove the drive belts from the attachment by loosening their tension.
  • After unscrewing the mounting bolts, you need to remove the clutch housing.
  • Turn the crankshaft clockwise to align the alignment marks.
  • Next, loosen the crankshaft pulley mounting bolt. To do this, you need to secure the crankshaft from turning, for example, using a flat-head screwdriver, inserting it between the crankcase and the teeth.
  • After this, completely unscrew the mounting bolt along with the washer and remove the crankshaft pulley.
  • To open the shaft gear, you need to remove the spacer washer.
  • Next you need to dismantle the pump.
  • Then unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the lower protective cover.
  • Next, you need to check that the sprocket on the camshaft is aligned with the cylinder head alignment mark.
  • After loosening the tension bolts, you need to move it to the side and tighten the bolts a little.
  • Next, remove the timing belt. When reusing the product, marks should be placed to indicate the direction of rotation.

  • Timing belt without protective cover

    Installation:

  • Before installation, you need to check the alignment of all installation marks, as well as the sprockets on the camshaft with the mark on the cylinder head.
  • Belt tension should start from the crankshaft gear in a counterclockwise direction.
  • After loosening the tension roller bolt, you need to let it work.
  • Then tighten the tensioner bolts with a force of 20-27 Nm.
  • Next you need to check the strap tension.
  • Then check the alignment of the marks again.
  • Reassembly must be done in reverse order.
  • After completing the timing belt replacement procedure, you should check the vehicle's performance.

    Video “Replacing the timing belt on a Kia Rio 2”

    This video explains and demonstrates how to change the timing belt on a Kia Rio.

    The Kia Sportage 2.0 petrol engine in the second and third generations of the popular crossover in Russia are power units that are completely different in design. The second generation of the Korean car has the G4GC model with a cast iron block and a timing belt (Beta II) with a power of 141 hp. On the third generation of the Kia Sportage, a more sophisticated G4KD engine of the Theta II series appeared with an aluminum block and a timing chain drive with a power of 150 hp. (although in other markets it easily produces 165 hp) Today we’ll talk about both engines of the Kia Sportage.

    Engine design Sportage 2.0

    The two-liter G4GC engine is a gasoline naturally aspirated in-line, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC, water-cooled and timing belt driven. The location in the engine compartment is longitudinal. The engine has a variable valve timing system on the intake shaft. The power unit has hydraulic compensators, so there is no need to adjust the valve clearance. The engine has a cast iron cylinder block.

    The two-liter G4KD engine is a gasoline naturally aspirated in-line, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC, water-cooled and timing chain drive. The location in the engine compartment is longitudinal. The engine has a CVVT variable valve timing system on both camshafts. Unfortunately, the engine does not have hydraulic compensators, so valve adjustment is required approximately once every 90-100 thousand kilometers. Aluminum cylinder block.

    Replacing the Kia Sportage 2.0 belt must be carried out strictly according to the regulations. A broken belt will lead to bent valves and costly repairs. In the picture above, the phase change actuator (phase shifter) is not drawn on the intake camshaft pulley, but the second generation Kia Sportage has it, although the first one really didn’t have it.

    For a more modern engine with an aluminum block, the timing drive looks like this. See the photo below.

    If you look closely at the picture, you will notice that the motor has two circuits. The second small one goes into the sump and rotates the oil pump sprocket.
