This sounds very much like your magnetic clutch dropping in and out possibly due to and electrical cut off ether in the wiring or a faulty switch on the dash board that you operate to bring in the A/C. This magnetic clutch is actually attached to the drive pulley of the a/c unit get some body to switch the a/c on and off whilst you look to see if it engages before you decide what to do about it, also check that engine oil drips have not got between the plates, if this is the case or you think it's slipping for some other reason. spay between the plates with a can of Carburettor cleaner. Best of luck

What is the fault code?

sounds like your vacuum line is disconnected. does the car idle higher since this has happened? or the cable came off if it is a cable type.

check for power at the wiper motor if you have power when the switch is activated if you have power there the motor needs to be replaced. if you have no power change the fuse and check again for power when the wiper switch it activated there is a relay that will cut out if the wiper is frozen to the window but unlikely that this will be your problem 9 times out of 10 the motor is gone.

One of the first things I do when I get a new-to-me vehicle is to get a Chiltons/Haynes repair manual for that make/model/year. These repair manuals have the codes, troubleshooting guides, and even tell you when you may well be in over your head. And yes, I keep the manual when I get rid of the car. You never know if you may well buy another. I have Kia repair manuals, but they are for Sephia/Spectra. And to my knowledge these sedans did not come with a diesel engine. I didn't even know the Sportage could be ordered with this powerplant. Just checked my books. Neither address diesel powered Kias. You will have to find a repair manual the specifically addresses Kia Sportages with the diesel engine.

Hi Judith, you'll need to take the left an right lower dash panels an lay on the floor an follow the clicking noise, it's a bad actuator of one kind or another not sure how many are on this one ! Take those panels off an listen an reach you hand up there an you'll feel it. Two or three screws hold it in place.

Hi Judith , that clicking noise is annoying ! That's what there do when there wore out, just plastic gears inside. It is located under the dash left side I'll add a picture of it's location. You will probably have to take some kind of panel off on the left side under the steering wheel .Have to lay on floor to look up under the dash to see it. Once you do that you can reach you hand up and feel the actuator clicking,

depends engine there,? bank one is means that bank closes to #1 cylinder sensor 2 is down stream, sensor, for cat monitor. never post about an engine,not stating what it is, as we cant guess engines,99% nor country, as many run many engines.

check the internal fuse block. there may be a map to the fuses on the cover that tells you what each fuse supplies power to. more than likely the dash lights have their own fuse that is blown, some times this happens when a bulb goes out but doesn't completely blow.

some where in there I imagine you have a question. come back with a comment as to what it is.

check that the inlet defuser is moving to allow air into the blower.

not enough information. check fuel pressure, firing order... which should be 1-3-4-2 on a 4 cyl.

you have to remove the transmission in order to get the bearing off the input shaft.

A Chilton/Haynes repair manual that covers this vehicle has an entire section on interior fascias/trims and how to remove them and maintain them. As well as the information for general repair and maintenance.

The high beams may go out while the low beam doesn't however it's usually the other way around. One may go out while the other light is fine so no, they won't go out at the same time.

On a guess--- without the vehicle--- to do any testing on? You Ask !!

Code 038 means the computer is getting a high voltage return in the heater circuit from the O2 sensor mounted after the catalytic converter. The O2 sensors have an internal heater to make them work as soon as you start the engine. You would need to test the circuit to and from the sensor to find the real problem.

have the OBD code read , has the engine got enough coolant ? start there or take to a KIA dealer who will know instantly what is wrong but ofcourse you will pay for that knowldge

One of cpl things most likely the blower control switch stuck in high or the blower motor shorted in high last thing a short in the wire. Would suspect the actual blower motor 1st.
