Top 20 2002 Kia Rio Questions & Answers

What exactly are you trying to do? Is this a protective 'stick on' clear cover your trying to remove or are you trying to remove the whole light fitting from the car? If it is the stick on cover you can usually peel it off if you take your time. Be patient as they can split and break if your too rough removing them. Try blowing it with a hair drier as this can soften the glue holding it on. If you are removing the whole light fitting they are usually bolted on from the inside. The small cover in side the boot is held on with two small screws and should swing outwards and off. On the actual lens there are 3 cross head bolts, two on the top edge, ( the top left corner and the top right corner), and one on the bottom edge. The bottom one should be on the edge nearest the middle of the car. The light lens should become loose as you remove the last screw. Sometimes over time dirt can get into the edges of the lens creating a 'sticky' seal holding the light fitting in place. Using ONLY the palm of your hand, give the side of the lens a firm bump and it should drop out. I would suggest you give the edge of the metal hole the lens fits into a clean to make sure when you refit the lens you get a good water proof seal.

I too have had the same issues with my 2004 Kia Rio. I personally believe that this should have been a recall in the door locks. I went to a pick and pull and retrieved the drivers side and passengers side locking mechanism from both doors (not the locks themselves because I needed to use the same key) and one worked like a charm and the other didnt. I since have went back and got another one and that one stopped working correctly. It seems that this a major issue with these cars.

Need more data. Check fuel pressure at the injector rail.

Bad connection at the battery. As soon as large current is demanded by the starter, you lose the connection. Make sure both terminal connections on battery are clean and tight. Now is a good time to do a voltage drop test. Watch youtube videos. Most are quite good at explaining the test. This test is great for finding a bad connection.

Have you checked the fluid level?Was there any oil leak spots under the car? Correct any low fluid level and give it a try. If the fluid is at the correct level,disconnect the battery for 10 mins then reconnect and try it again,if it still won't work you may have to have a transmission expert take a look at it. You can put in a used transmission if needed and not spend lots of $$$ for a rebuilt trans,or just buy another complete vehicle to drive and not fix your 2002.

The only thing you can do is pull the player out and have it repaired.

I didn't know liter engine size? You put it back in the same place it came from? One exploded view showed four bolts, they may be different lengths. To go further, I need more info. If the compressor pulley is belt driven, the pulley has to go on the same end as accessory belt, correct?

Hi, it may not be the master cylinder but a leak in the piping or other brake parts. The system was bled to get all the air out when the new cylinder was fitted and it sounds like you are getting air back into the system again that will cause the brakes not to work .Some times it can be caused by a perforated brake pipe due to rust.

You definitely want to get hooked up to a scanner to get the OBD codes for your vehicle malfunctions. AutoZone, AdvanceAuto, or your local Auto Parts store will help if you ask them to scan your vehicle.

I guess you are right and it has something to do with having the transmission changed, rather than the transmission itself. I can't help regarding what is wrong but if you paid good money to have the transmission changed the responsibility for rectifying the fault is the person or company that caused it. I suggest you go and have a meaningful discussion...

Recommended oil should be marked on the oil cap and in your owners manual. Also on the sticker where you last changed the oil. Normally it is either 5w30 or 10w30 weight.
