I purchased a used 2002 Kia Sportage 4x4 and the vacuum hoses for the 4WD are not there. I need a diagram so that I can get the hoses and hook them up. And, are there any special things I should know about hooking them up?

The rubber vacuum hose comes off the intake manifold inside the engine compartment. The vacuum lines are located on left side fender, under the hood. If you look facing motor you will see tehm on the right side.
I own a 2001 Sportage, purchased in 2004. After struggling with the stupid vacuum system leaks over a 4 year period, I finally decided to replace the vacuum hubs with manual hubs. So simple, even a caveman can do it. Simply remove the bolts on each hub using an electric screwdriver with a nut driver attachment (I think it\'s 6 or 8), slide out the old vacuum hubs, slide in the new manual hubs and tighten them in with the existing bolts. Block off the vacuum nozzle with some duct tape or a small screw. That\'s it! Easy! Cost of replacement manual hubs: around $130. Repair time: around 20 minutes! You have to lock the hubs manually, but no more hassles with the vacuum system.
Take to a wheel mechanic and have the hubs turned around so they are always engaged,not much differt fuel consumtion,or have warn hubs put in.the vaccum thing sucks.

Oh dear, my 1992 GMC S15 has the same problem. Just found out it's in the vacuum 4wd activation system. Could be vacuum hoses (they've never been checked or changed), or some sensor. But my light comes on!! After a bit of time it does kick in. This next spring I'll check out the hoses etc. You might have someone check yours.
the vacuum hoses or wheel seals are leaking in the front wheels. they are vacuum operated. the dealer has kits you can buy to convert to manuel locking hubs, they had alot of problems with the vacuum hubs
IT IS PROBABLY THE LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL. IT USES A VACUUM TO LOCK IN THE FRONT WHEELS. CHECK TO SEE IF THE HOSES ARE ROTTED OR CHRACKED OR TORN. OR IT COULD BE THE VACCUM TANK OR PUMP IS BAD
It is a press in pipe. just pull it out of the steel pipe and get the same type of pipe. Press it back onto the steel pipe. no clamps needed. enjoy from Willem SA
