Malfunctions and repair of the G4KD / 4B11 2.0 l engine.

The G4KD / 4B11 engine is part of the Theta II family, according to Mitsubishi it is 4B1 (where 4B11 is the heir to the well-known), replacing the old series engines. Also, these engines were installed on Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, on these cars they are called Chrysler world. The engine is a modernized Magentis G4KA (Theta) engine, in which the intake receiver was changed, the BPG was changed, the CVVT valve timing system was finalized, the phase shifters are now on both shafts, the exhaust manifold has been changed, mounted, other firmware, in general, the motor has changed significantly and became more powerful - 163 hp, in Russia the engine is strangled to 150 hp, to optimize the owners' tax payments. The engine, with the recommended 95 gasoline, also digests the 92nd, although there are no hydraulic lifters, so once every 90 thousand km, in the presence of characteristic noises, it is necessary to adjust the valve clearances.
Now about the faults and shortcomings.
1. Diesel before warming up is a common thing for the G4KD 4B11, let's write it off on the features of the engine.
2. Whistle of the bearing of the air conditioning compressor, change and there are no problems.
3. Whirring, this sound is present on all G4KD 4B11 and makes owners nervous, calm down, this is the work of injectors.
4. Vibrations at 1000-1200 rpm, we change the candles, we go further.
Among other things, there are various hissing sounds, they are emitted by the fuel pump. The motor itself is not the quietest, be prepared for sounds, but in general it is not bad, high-torque and performs its function quite well. It is also worth monitoring the condition of the catalyst and you need to have time to replace or cut it out in time, otherwise its dust will get into the cylinders and scuffs will form there. Usually, its service life is about 100-150 thousand km.
On the basis of this motor, an engine was created , with a working volume of 2.4 liters. In addition, a turbo version was created on the basis of 4B11 4B11T, for sports Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart.

Chip tuning G4KD / 4B11

All owners have long known that the engine was originally 165 horsepower and that it develops just such power all over the world, while in Russia the power is artificially reduced to 150 hp. without interfering with the hardware, so we go to the tuners, we take the firmware for 165 hp. and restore justice
In addition, all owners are aware of the fact that there are turbo versions of this engine and people are itching to install a boost, but the T-GDI engine is seriously different from a simple G4KD, the presence direct injection fuel, ShPG, which in design resembles a piston from Lancer evolution X and a number of other changes. You can build a G4KD 4B11 on a TD04 turbo, but the cost of the engine, suspension, brakes, etc. will be very high.

The current state of the automotive market is characterized by increased customer demand for crossovers. Almost all big brands have their own models of this class of cars. Crossover Kia Sportage already has quite a long, by automotive standards, history of its evolution. Debuting as a smaller version of the full-fledged frame SUV, with each generation he became more and more a city dweller.

Its tasks and purpose have changed, and with it the requirements for power plants. After all, each generation had its own characteristics. About engines different generations and will be discussed in this article.

I generation (1993-2004)

Kia Sportage of the first generation managed to hold out on the assembly line for quite a long time. For more than ten years, the company continued to release the model. The SUV was equipped with five engines: three petrol and two diesel.

The most widespread are four-cylinder aspirated 2.0-liter and 118 or 128 hp. The line also included a two-liter unit with a capacity of 95 hp. However, it is less common.

There were two diesel engines: a 2.0 liter with a capacity of 83 hp, as well as a volume of 2.2 liters, but with a lower power of 63 hp.

The engines were not weak point models. In general, there are no questions about reliability and resource. Their main enemy now is venerable age. Therefore, they require increased attention during operation and great care when buying.

The only thing worth noting is the problems with diesel engines when using low-quality diesel fuel. Because of this, the fuel pump ECU may fail, as well as critically wear out the cylinder head. All this is fraught with serious repair costs.

II generation (2004-2010)

When developing the second generation, the concept of the model was revised. Now Sportage has become not an SUV, but a crossover. Having lost some of its off-road abilities, the car received decent handling on hard surfaces. Accordingly, the new model also needed new modern power units.

There are three engines to choose from:

• 2.0 MPi 141 hp
• 2.7i V6 175 HP
• 2.0 CRDi 112 hp

Engines are characterized as very reliable. Their main diseases are sensor malfunctions and problems with the cooling system. Therefore, when buying, special attention should be paid to the condition of the pipes and the radiator. Also, it will not be superfluous to check which radiator is installed, as well as to assess the condition of the wiring going to it. Also not the best design fuel filter, which is made in a single unit with a gasoline pump.

2.0 MPi (G4GC)

The two-liter gasoline unit G4GC of the Beta II family is the most widely used. Its roots go back to Mitsubishi engines, but at the same time there are many original solutions from KIA.

So, for example, the timing in this mixed-type motor. Both chain and belt are used. In this particular case, the system proved to be quite reliable. The chain runs up to 200-250 thousand km, and the main thing is to change the belt according to the regulations, not forgetting about the rollers.

With the wrong choice of oil, the phase regulator can present surprises. The consequences of this can be the replacement of the clutch, and sometimes even the valves. The valves themselves are adjustable here, since there are no hydraulic compensators. It is better to monitor their condition and carry out adjustments much earlier than the regulations.

The total resource of the piston group is about 300-400 thousand km without overhaul, which is good enough. At the same time, you should pay attention to attachments after 150-200 thousand km.

2.7i V6 (G6BA)

The flagship six-cylinder unit has many things in common. design features with two liter engine. Among them is the combined timing drive.

Of the unpleasant features, the design of the belt tensioner can be distinguished. She didn't turn out the best. During winter starts, when the oil loses viscosity, slippage is possible.

Often there are problems with the intake flaps and exhaust manifolds. Do not have sufficient resource and collectors. In addition, there are two of them on this engine.

The engine block is made of aluminum, but with cast iron liners. He has just an excellent resource by modern standards. With proper timely maintenance, it can go up to 400-500 thousand km.

2.0 CRDi (D4EA)

The diesel engine is much less common. The motor of this series is not particularly reliable. This is partly due to the generally poor quality of diesel fuel. Therefore, even in large cities, where this figure is at a more or less acceptable level, all injectors and a high-pressure fuel pump require replacement by 100 thousand km. And this is quite a significant expense. It should also be understood that such a procedure also involves a complete flushing of the fuel line. From children's sores, strange computer operation algorithms were noted, as well as frequent burnouts of glow plugs.

Weighing the pros and cons of this unit, we can conclude that this is not the most best option. The motor itself is quite problematic, and besides, it is not superimposed on it. best quality diesel fuel.

III generation (2010-2016) 2.0 l. (G4KD)

Derated up to 150 hp the gasoline engine of this generation has the glory of not being the most successful. The timing chain drive and attachments are generally quite reliable. But at the same time, after 100 thousand km, the liners can simply turn around at the engine. At the same time, it is quite difficult to make repairs. There are practically no original repair parts, and substitutes cannot boast of a sufficient level of reliability. The situation began to change in better side closer to restyling. And in the updated version, the motor has undergone significant changes. The base remained the same, but direct injection appeared.

In the early years of production, there was a problem of sticking of the control valves of the phase shifter clutches. This usually manifested itself by 80-100 thousand km.

Diesels

Diesel units turned out to be more successful. Two-liter turbocharged engines with a capacity of 136 and 184 hp. have earned a positive reputation. At the same time, the 184-horsepower beat the gasoline one both in terms of economy and dynamics.

Like a gasoline unit, a diesel engine has no problems with timing and attachments. Turbines are also reliable. Problems can be precisely with the shortage of spare parts. You should also be prepared for the fact that the service will be much more expensive, sometimes even twice.

Traditional weaknesses diesel engines- fuel equipment. Over time in fuel pump high pressure, chips are formed that clog the nozzles. Restoration, and even more so the installation of new parts, is quite expensive. It is recommended to repair exactly all nozzles, since it is difficult to guess which one is clogged. In addition, when repairing one or more injectors, an imbalance in the operation of the engine may occur.

After 100 thousand km, the dual-mass flywheel may need to be replaced. The symptom is a ringing sound when starting and stopping the engine.

IV generation (2016)

The line of motors is represented by four units:

• 1.6 GDI (132 hp)
• 2.0i (155 HP)
• 2.0 DTCI (185 hp)
• 1.6 TDGI (177 hp)

two liter Gas engine- This is the G4KD inherited from past generations. It was slightly modernized, while improving dynamics and reducing fuel consumption.

The DTCI diesel engine allows you to get good dynamics, while not going beyond the economy.

The 1.6-liter engines stand apart. These are completely new developments that have not previously been installed on previous generations sportage.

The atmospheric GDI is the base engine. Despite its modest volume, it produces decent power figures. Giving a difficult crossover decent dynamics, it allows the car to keep a modest appetite.

The turbocharged version of the TDGI is suitable for those who like to drive. With a fairly small volume of 1.6 liters, the developers managed to remove 177 hp. and 265 Nm of torque. Such indicators are comparable to three-liter atmospheric units.

With motors familiar from past generations in matters of reliability and resource, everything is more or less clear. But there will certainly be questions about the new ones. New technologies allow you to remove significant power and torque from small engines, but you have to pay for all this. Most often, the price for excellent performance is resource and reliability.

The leaders of the two largest automobile concerns Skoda and Volkswagen announced that the Russian dealers of the brand will have updated models of Rapid, Karoq and Jetta, which have been significantly upgraded from a technical point of view.

According to the developers, the updated cars can compete with the models that are currently the best sellers in the Russian market.

The Karoq crossover is developed on the MQB platform. The standard equipment of the car includes: alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and a multifunctional center armrest.

Under the hood is a 1.4-liter power unit with a capacity of 150 Horse power. It is paired with an automatic transmission. The basic version is equipped with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is available for buyers in the top configuration.

The updated Rapid received significant changes to the exterior and interior. Manufacturers are confident that the updated model will be able to become one of the most popular in the Russian market. The car is equipped with a 1.6-liter unit, with a capacity of 90 and 110 horsepower, respectively. Paired with them is a manual or automatic transmission and a front-wheel drive system.

The main changes to the exterior and interior include: a modernized rear bumper, modified head optics, increased ground clearance, door sills, an advanced multimedia system with a large digital screen, a new trim material and luggage compartment lighting.

Deutsch Jetta sedan also received updates and is ready to compete on Russian market. The production of the car in an updated version has been established in the Mexican city of Puebla. The modern design of the exterior and interior is reminiscent of the Korean competitors that were introduced earlier.

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

Sportage 2.0 engine device

2 liter G4GC engine, it is a gasoline atmospheric in-line, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC, water-cooled and timing belt drive. Location in engine compartment longitudinal. The engine has a variable valve timing system on the intake shaft. The power unit has hydraulic lifters, so it is not necessary to adjust the valve clearance. The motor has a cast iron cylinder block.

2 liter G4KD engine, it is a gasoline atmospheric 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 motor does not have hydraulic lifters, so valve adjustment is required approximately once every 90-100 thousand kilometers. Aluminum cylinder block.

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

Do more modern motor with an aluminum block, the timing drive looks like this. See the photo below.

If you look closely at the picture, you can see that the motor has two chains. The second small one goes into the pan and rotates the sprocket oil pump.
