Kia Sportage : Noise Coming From Rear Differential Part I
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- In this video we check out a noise coming from the rear end of this Kia Sportage. Kia has a service TSB regarding this noise and they claim it is unrepairable and the whole $1450.00 viscous coupler unit must be replaced!! HA! This sounds like a challenge :)
Seal: 19-00-044-027
Bearing: KBC 6008Z

"Let's pull it out, take it apart, and see if we can fix it before throwing 1500 bucks at it...." I cheered inside when Eric said that! Even cooler that you can make the car front-wheel drive until the parts come in!
Han Skinslo That front wheel drive solution✔️
Depends on the car. Could not do this with my Subie WRX.
Nice thing about them first gen Saturn VUE awd models. You can pull the rear driveshaft and run it as front wheel drive.
That's one of the reasons why i like Eric He's willing to think outside the box to get it done. Help a customer. And still do the job right. Wish all mechanics and techs were this way.
+45AMT Well heck that is the only way to do it right?
You got it!
SMA: Your right but don`t forget to factor in the poor guy on the line who works flat rate. The writers and service manager are tapping on his production too. The dealerships want to make as much money as they can. I don`t know how the mechs can make money anymore with warranty repair times being unfair.
I have a local guy near me. Just a small one man shop, he has done me plenty of solids over the years, and he is first on my recommendations list. It's hard to find a good car guy.
I'm us also too cheap by far, never up sells you in parts and has silly hour charge. Probably not changed in 20 years. He also refuses to charge for fixes he diagnoses wrongly. I had a loose wire causing a 2005 laguna to drop power at about 1500 rpm. He
' fixed' a few things before he traced a broken wire which he soldered and charged me abit a tenner. He must of spent 3 days on it.
His reason what, "if I was a better michanic I'd of diagnosed it correctly first time, so it's not your fault". I recon most would of just said "this thst and the other also need changing".
I felt embarrassed that day, a bit like I robbed him. It wasn't like we was friends back then, I'd orobay been going his garage 2 years, so probably my 3rd or 4th time. He defo made it back in future business and my recommendations. Both my children use him now also.
Also a very nice bloke I've come to find out over th years.
The usual way of working in most repair shops is max. profit, min. effort. He is very rare, and unlike some, has the experience to not mess up.
"Got a brand new Snap-on ratchet today. Broke the other one."
***proceeds to smash a socket on with new ratchet***
I like your style, Eric-O!
That was hilarious :)
+Adrian Kingsley-Hughes Almost cried laughing when that happened. HAHAHAHAHAHA
+Adrian Kingsley-Hughes The ratchet is worth more than the Kia.
+Adrian Kingsley-Hughes How would you like to be me. I'm the guy that sells him tools. Glutton for punishment.
+Adrian Kingsley-Hughes Hey man gotta do what we gotta do right?!
Non serviceable ya right, I have always said "if it was put together it can be taken apart" good call.
Tony Gostling non serviceable doesn’t t mean it can’t be taken apart, it means that when shit brakes the parts must be replaced not remanufactured.
Thank you I hate when anything claims to be none serviceable
Very refreshing to see a real mechanic who at least tries to repair something rather than replace it. It's also helpful when your customer isn't on the phone every 15 minutes to see if it's done yet and as cheaply as possible. Usually when I repair something like that (which isn't often any more) something else inside fails in short order and we end up eating it cuz we worked on it last and are referred to as hacks. I guess it's a BIG city thing. Maybe that's why Kia recommends the whole unit to be replaced. In our trade who knows. You are very entertaining to watch and you do make me laugh sometimes. A good thing after a rough day.
+wysetech2000 Oh yeah I know it is a chance we take repairing it but the customers I have are pretty chill and willing to give it a try first.
Should use that mentality on the whole car. Fuck it, replace the whole thing, it's a KIA
Good for you fixing the unfixable part. Shame on Kia for being greedy in making a part like that.
It's not just Kia/Hyundai.All the manufacturers are the same.
Funny that it is actually serviceable.
Nothing more satisfying than fixing something that's supposedly unfixable. That's always going to make you feel a little smug. How can anyone give this a 'thumbs down' ? I bet that was Kia! :-)
Mechanics like you are some of the best problem solvers in the world change my mind. If any major world leaders have a problem I say they hire a bunch of down to earth mechanics like you and that problem won’t have shit on y’all
Great work Eric you have shown the difference between a good mechanic and a parts changer. Nice work.
+richard pearce I agree there seams to be more and more parts changers these days.. I was taught the old school way..
Eric does awsome work. He makes everything look so damn easy. Love how he takes the time to clean everything after his work and takes the few extra mins to explain what he's about to do and talks through the whole video.
"If they didn't want us to take it apart they wouldn't have put nuts and bolts on it." Priceless!
not one shop I know would have made this effort to save a customer money. Great job Eric!
+EZRider1979 Well it is what we do!
This shows the difference between a mechanic and a parts changer. Where was the brake clean?
+eldoradony part two?
+eldoradony Well this video did have the dramatic music! Could you have both the dramatic build-up and a brake cleaner interlude? :)
The old shop teacher says:"
Every Tool Has A Hammer Side"
+Bill Johnson That is a wise man sir
You're a natural born super smart mechanic and entertainer. A great combination. We love your videos.
best tech on RUclips...
This almost felt like a "day in the life of" video with all the cameo's, jokes, and repairs you had going on.
I guess this is what the old timers mean when they say "back in the day people fixed things, now we trash and replace".
With the ease of this repair, it makes me wonder what's really going on when they send those service bulletins out. Yes we all know car companies are in business to make money. But is there really any excuse for this? Are they charging for the new part, but actually only replacing the bearing. Makes me ponder their motive.
Outstanding video man!
Keep em coming!
+Darren G. Makes me wonder too.
best auto repair channel on yt , see for yourself, no bs just a great mechanic
+nigel kendall Thank you sir and thank you for the support to keep the channel going strong!
It's refreshing to see a mechanic that still "fixes" things and doesn't just "plug and play", and also has the customer's best interests at heart, not just making a quick buck. Also, you have a ton of knowledge/experience now I cant imagine how you'll be when you're in your 60's! My hats off to you, keep up the good work and thanks for all the knowledge/tips you share with us.
the extra mile you go for your customers is just unreal. you're the man!
$1450 replacement part and the only thing that was bad was a $60 bearing. Manufacturers are pricks. Loved the video.
LOL "Broke my other one" *uses it as a hammer* Love your channel man.
The sign of a true mechanic, fixes things he hasn't done before without any information about disassembly. Not just replacing parts. I love watching your videos man.
+Sweet six gaming Glad you enjoy them!
better to pay eric the labor than let the dealer make money for the part.
Agree. We need to boycott the dealer repairs. I am.
You should market a repair kit for this fix with all the parts "to do it right" (and a link to your video as a bonus). One of your best videos yet.
Great work. It's so nice to see you repair at the component level. I work with people who practice swaptronics and I have to go back and clean up the mess and fix it right. Have a nice day Eric.
That is the difference between a mechanic and a technician.
Good job
Neat video! You won't find many mechanics that would go this route anymore. Thumbs up to you Eric!!
Loved the part with the new Snap-On ratchet. Use it as a hammer! LOL!!
+Rick Anderson I thought the same thing ! New Snappy and using it as a hammer !! LOL !
Hence the nickname "SNAP_OFF" lol
to think many dealers would charge 1500 bucks and not even think about a repair like this, great job
+nigel kendall If you did it yourself it is less that 50 bucks....
"Got a new Snap-On. Broke my other one." - (proceeds to use the new ratchet as a hammer)
I don't own a Kia, and I had no intention of watching this, but I found myself hanging out at the workbench, totally absorbed with how you worked your way through the problem of disassembling the differential unit. The joys and terrors of auto mechanics are so closely intertwined, moving from one task to the next, which, now that I think about it, is, surprisingly, much the same enjoyment that I derive from watching baseball. Thumbs up!
Awesome work man! It's nice to see a few of us out there still try and FIX things! Great job
Gotta tell ya, Eric. Don't think there are too many mechanics running around anymore that are as considerate and honest as you are. I am so impressed with your attitude, diligence, and willingness to go the extra mile. In the last 2 years I have only commented once on a video, this makes #2, so take that for what it's worth (probably nothing!). I can only wish I lived in your area.
morre informative than anything on cable ! thanks.
Wow! The things your child is learning being in the shop is priceless. Great job Dad!
Actually a nice simple repair... someone should start selling a kit.
+Thomas EXOVCDS Yeah you'd think dorman or one of the aftermarkets would have this as a listing. Especially sense it is common enough to have a TSB on it...
Your one and few honest mechanic . Thank you for being you . You are teaching me a lot save me from going to a junk yard and tearing things apart finding out how things work . Your a good guy .
Brilliant mechanic. Love how you truly help & care about your clients.
you sir are the last of a dying breed, there are those who blindly follow the manufactures instructions to a tee no matter what, and there are those like us who dont and who want instead whats best for our clients. my hat is off to you sir great job!
You da man. How many other mechanics would do this? not many. This is something I would do just because I like taking shit apart to figure out how things work.
+Bruce L. You and me both :)
+South Main Auto Repair great job man. My mechanic also fixed my "unserviceable" EGR valve on my Mondeo, quoted factory refurbished (as apparently you cannot buy a new one)at 600 USD.
krugerblue l
It's refreshing to see a real mechanic, not just a "replacement" mechanic like most dealerships today have. You learned like I did, you learned to to take something apart and replace a component or part of an item instead of replacing the entire item. Although I am not a mechanic, I was taught by my Dad who was a Mechanical Engineer by profession but a mechanic at heart. He had nothing but disdain for modern day mechanics especially those overpaid flunkies at dealerships. I wish he was still alive today, I would show him your videos and I'm sure it would bring a smile to his face. I still, at 65 years old do all my own repairs to my vehicles if I can physically do so, but when it's too big a job, especially electrical, I have a trusted mechanic I've been dealing with for many years who's usually up to the task.
This world needs more people like you, Eric. Fantastic!
+Dave Killam Thanks Dave!
Your the man, defying manufacturers orders to save the day. I know she was happy to save that money.
I was pondering this morning why Kia or any manufacturer would do things this way. Then it came to me. In order to break into the American market, Kia like a few others makes had to offer these very competitive (and long) warranties. But supporting warranties in the American markets is EXPENSIVE because American labor is super expensive.
So...they call the parts "unservicable" so that the part can only be swapped at the dealership to keep the American labor to an absolute minimum, while the original core is sent back to the foreign country where the vehicle is manufactured to be fixed with labor that is a tiny fraction of what it would have been in America. Plus if you have a small team of unskilled workers that only fix this one single component - they don't even need to be technicians, they can literally be teenagers with only the most basic training in this one single job.
It makes good business sense, but it is ultimately dishonest to say a part is non-serviceable when it is completely serviceable.
Fuck that lmao
It's just the way the business is going in general no one fixes anything anymore, they just swap.
Even easier now with a mobile phone eltellijgvyouvwhat part is broken. Shame it's harder than ever for a layman to get into spannering. The days of a socket set and Haynes manual are long gone. Or very almost.
I'm amazed at the level of useful feedback that woman was able to provide. Well done, lady! Most people can't provide data as relevant as that.
That's funny, Dodge says the same thing about their trucks.."Non-Serviceable, Replace Only"........hehehe
+Jeffrey dontyouwish haha true story!
i love your comment... "if they didn't want us to take it apart, why did they put nuts and bolts on it?" That comment rings so true in our field. You sir are an inspiration to all. if you can do it, so can we.
looking forward to the fix...great job Dr O! (and helper)
+Jason Michaels coming soon!
"Let's start rippin' and tearin' because that's how we learn." True words of wisdom.
looking forward to the next part eric..good work as always.

I am really proud of the service you did for this woman. Excellent. And what we mechs try to do for the public. Save them money and don't waste resources. Good work Eric O.
Hey Eric, I'm the guy that told you to buy Kroil and I'm only 63 you smart ass.
+SATAMAN Schmidt It smells so good. Yummy.
+SATAMAN Schmidt My garage has a permanent smell of Kroil. I use it on every job. I researched oils when I did my Honda timing belt job, and picked it up for helping with the crank bolt, have never been without it since!
SATAMAN Schmidt PB blaster is best....
Leon Springs Boys TV actually, a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone is probably one of the best penetrating oils to use, only thing better is to use toluene instead of acetone. with the toluene it eats away the rust on fasteners along with dissolves all forms of thread locker and soaks way deep into the threads. on older farmer told me about that, didn't belive him but have never gone back, i keep a mix in a little hand squirter oil can and a big premix in an old acetone can marked what it is.
Aarons Automotive where do you buy toluene
This is the second time I've seen this video you saved her probably $500 by fixing this thing a guy with a heart in the mechanic with tools and all the right stuff
great video saving the folks $$ . An honest mechanic very cool
+greg collins
A lot of mechanics would have sand blasted the housing and claimed it was 'refurbished' but only cost $750
I agree or said nope can't fix it need a new part plus labor $$$.
+lineartechbd1600 or "job was done not our fault pay us anyway"
Erik, you are the man. Necessity is the mother of invention.
You had this apart in less than an hour. Could order the bearing and the seal and save this lady a ton of money and her car from the scrap yard.
SMA to the rescue Again.
Your motto should be:
“The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
When replacing bearings, you can usually find them really easily from a bearing supplier. They're everywhere!
Man, I thought old school was dead. Kroil AND the determination to prove a non-serviceable part is indeed serviceable all in one video? I had to pause it half way through just to call my shrink so I could get my head read. I guess I am old.
SMA never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work Eric.
+ManicMechanic007 Lol thanks... and in part 2, kroil, mechanical repair AND brake clean! BOOM!
Your a good man with talent Eric.
+wyattoneable Thanks
I liked that you went out your way to help a customer save money, if only all mechanics had your ethics! Love it.
What??? No brake cleaner? LOL! Great video! Kia/Hyundai don't trust the dealer techs with the repair of this assembly is my guess. Great video of how it's done!! Thanks Eric!!
Jeff Powers that’s on part 2. Cleaning out the diff
The fact that you attempted this without knowing if you would be able to truly fix it then giving the vehicle back at 2wd in the meantime to the customer makes all the mechanic by my area look like crap! It's easier for them to tell me " yeah you have to spent the 1500 there's no other way". You truly go above and beyond for your customers and that's a rare find now. Because of this I subbed! and thank you for your hard work and dedication, if you are in the n.y area I would be more than happy to have you service my vehicle..be safe brother.
Not serviceable? LoL Eric to the rescue!
I haven't even finished watching the video and all I can say is, this is a man that thinks outside of the box. This is the type of mechanic that you want and the type of mechanic that is rare these days

Eric O. You are one of my favorite RUclips auto techs. always entertaining, always informative, and my favorite, always honest. As a fellow mechanic, I can easily say that the industry needs more people like you. My favorite part of your videos is seeing how similarily we work. Rip and tear and learn as we go. usually in pursuit of saving the customer a few beans. Keep up the fantastic work and the customers will keep on coming. And I will continue to learn more and more as I watch. South Main Auto for the Win. If I was in the area I'd love to work for you.
+Joe Rosenbush Thanks Joe, it means a lot :)
+South Main Auto Repair more than anything you are an inspiration. I hope to one day own my own garage. And your shop seems like the ideal place. The work you do, the way you work, the focus on quality over all else. I am inspired by every video.
I think I concern myself too much with your videos lol. You're trying to take it apart, and I'm all over here in youtube land saying to myself... don't break, don't break, don't break. Then you get it all apart, and I'm like whoo. Now I can relax and enjoy the video. :)
+OnTheBrink Haha simmer down!
You really went above and beyond to save the customer a lot of money. You are one helluva mechanic.
You're a good man. I second SilveradoDeath Dan, best channel on RUclips. God bless.
+Stephen Malone SMA , ETCG , SCANNER DANNER AND SCHRONDINGER´S BOX. THE BEST OF RUclips!
Please don't put ETCG in the same category as SMA. ETCG just make videos for the money from RUclips. SMA makes videos that are informative from diagnosing a code problem (the money light) to repairs other than by the book as this video illustrate.
Don't forget to check out motoYam82. Ivan, for some of the SMA channel fans! He does a great job, and makes pretty good videos, too! Check out his channel and subscribe! He and SMA and blood brothers, compadres, comrades, buddies, pal, friends, wellllllllllll, y'all get the picture!

This is my favorite so far! Non serviceable my ass. I love days and jobs like these.
Nice save, Eric! What you did here is an example of the difference between a parts changer and a true mechanic. Bravo!
clean undercarriage for 140k particularly for the rust belt
The residents of the Podunk little NY town you live in are very lucky to have you.
I love the smell of kroil in the morning
Am not a mechanic, but watching your Vids...
You go above and beyond all expectations.
Taking no BS from the corporate, and digging into the technical details of such complex machinery.
You're good. Firetruck, You' re good.
Keep up the good work!!
What??? NO BRAKE PARTS CLEANER??? A little bit disappointed... but a very good job!
Your so good to your customers, you save them money, by being innovative. Not many like you around anymore. Most would just chuck the whole assembly and go full price. We need more mechanics like you in this day and age. Your a mechanic, not a part changer. I didn't think it was possible anymore. Good job man.
Man, that has to be a record. I've never seen one guy take so much crap for not using brake cleaner. It's obviously become a trademark, and I'd like to say I'm impressed, but I still have yet to see you jump out of a trash can yelling at the camera, soooo....... Baby steps. One day....if you work really hard at it....
Seriously though, I thought Hannah was your summertime helper. I assumed she was a high school kid making some summer cash. Is she a full-time apprentice now? Kudos to her if she's learning the trade. Apologies if you've already answered this as I tend to jump around the vids and don't watch them in chronological order, or always read all the comments.
Quick note on bearings: I agree with some of the others that you might consider industrial suppliers. Depending on who you use, they might be able to drop-ship from a manufacturer or other supplier in your area the next day. Also, you referred to that as a sealed bearing. It is actually just shielded. When you see Z or ZZ after a bearing number, that is a metal shielded bearing. RS or 2RS after the number is a sealed bearing that actually has a BUNA-N lip seal over the metal shield.
+Zack Brown Great tips on the bearings and the part numbers. Hannah is my summer helper but when she gets out of school she comes over to help out for the last few hours of the day.
Eric you always work in the customers best interest and look for ways to save the customer money. It's little wonder you are never hurting for business. Like the old saying goes "if you provide a good product or service at a reasonable price they will beat your door down to get it". Hats off to you sir.
this is the kind of stuff i love to do...salvaging a part that the manufacturer considers a throw-away.
Nice to see honest mechanic still exists. Dealership would have charged 1500 plus. I wish you were here in the pasadena ca area. Thank you for being honest
+southmainauto 1, kia 0. Something that would take kia dealer an hour to do, (or 2) plus small cost in parts, were differed to spend 1k (plus probably another 1k in labor) or get rid of the car. un freaking real. passing on their laziness/overhead to the customer. imagine all the people suffering because of this noise because they cant afford the 1k to fix it. Took one guy a few hours to find a solution to this problem, where kia just said replace it. WOW!
+Bardia Ghajari Well I always say it is just nuts and bolts right :)

Thanks for your FINE atttitude! I taught this stuff for years in Public Schools. You have shown the mental diagnostics needed to solve problems and thus help people with their driving problems. Also shown is the way to tear into things you knew nothing about. And part of our problems in dealing with the manufacturer's Service Bulletins.
fun exploration
great first time diagnosis . My 2007 2.2 diesel Citroen C6 . Handbrake cables are so corroded with broken rusty strands of wire . that I decided to replace them. One Citroen parts supplioer claimed the electric parking brake assembly is only supplied as a complete unit . insane money .. so i asked the guy who I bought it off and he insisted the parking brake cables were listed separately in the parts list .. A trip to another Citroen Dealership and the nice spares guy ordered them for me and even gave 10% discount . I had to make an appointment to collect the parts because of the Chinese CCP Killer bio virus weapon lock down in Portugal. €260 euros . fitted the cables myself . a real fiddly job but at 75 years old still possible . Keep up your brilliant and informative videos .. I love all of them .
Wait ! No brake cleaner in this video ? :)

Sure hope Kia don't sue you over this for making them looking bad... LOL This is why I watch your videos hell I own F350 and you don't even work on them,, Thanks Eric
I did my apprenticeship as a diesel and plant fitter in the early 60 ts without the aid of snap on tools or electric spanners but just like you and the sealed unit if it’s been made by hand it can be repaired by hand .I am retired now here in the UK but love to see how things have moved on in the garage scene it’s all mind boggling now keep up the honest work a repair shop takes along time to get a good name and easy to get a bad one cheers now John in the UK
Wow no brake clean? Great video though.
Great job going a little further to save the customer $$$.
I took my Subaru to a dealership for a crank no start. They said my aftermarket fuel pump (walbro 255) had too much pressure and I needed a new OEM fuel pump ($650).
I declined, and took it to a 2nd shop for their opinion.
Bad fuel pressure regulator.
The dealership apparently was not able to diagnose a bad pressure regulator..
Everyone yearns for a mechanic like you: capable of diagnostics, willing to try and save the customer money.
I like your mentality of "everything can be fixed". I follow that same mindset, it might not always work out well but its better than not trying at all.
Kia being A-holes. They want money. Their worst enemy is people who take things apart and actually fix it instead of being a parts changer.
Eric, absolute genius. This is the difference between a mechanic and a technician. Love the work.
