Kia Sportage 2000 4x4, Loud grinding sound every time i accelerate:
I am getting a load metal grinding-like sound everytime I accelerate. The sound seemed to be coming from the Rear Diff. so I changed the diff Oil, it was very dark in color, and replaced with new diff Oil, Same problem, Load grinding. This metal grinding sound is only heard when I accelerate (mash gas). it stops once I release my foot off the gas pedal or if I am coasting downhill... its quiet. Can you tell me what is cause this load sound and how to fix the problem? Thanks.

Hi Missippirebe, I think you should replace the fuel filter and if the problem persists check fuel pump pressure. It should be at around 3.7 bar. Regards John
The chassis acceleration sensor is located on the left side below the
motor. Not on the motor but on a little metal plate connected to the
body. I paid $55 at KIA for the part. The part # is 0K2NC-18911. They
say it's a universal part. It took me two days to convince them the part
even exist. But I have it now. I hope this helps.
