FREE SCAN AND RECORD CODES LOCATED IN SYSTEM. PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TESTS TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO TOOLS TESTING
Technician checked codes. Found coloration codes for the camshaft and no oil reading on the engine dip stick. Technician performed an oil change to check if low oil level was creating the issue. Codes returned on the drive cycle and technician inspected the intake and exhaust Variable Valve Timing solenoids. Found the exhaust solenoid damaged and pieces missing most likely due to the low engine oil and the amount of distance since last oil change. ( Oil sticker in windshield showed last service of 4/09/24 and due at 73,197 approx 26,000 miles over due) Its possible that the broken pieces from the solenoid are still in the engine and caused internal damage or can cause further damage. Recommend replacing the Exhaust Variable Valve Timing solenoid and recheck. Spoke with the customer and gave them the option to use OEM Kia Variable Valve Timing solenoid with a warranty on the part or an Aftermarket with no warranty. The customer requested us to install an Aftermarket Variable Valve Timing solenoid. After replacing the solenoid and rechecking the engine has internal damage and engine knock in the lower side of the engine. Engine replacement will be needed. Customer declined any further repairs at this time.
Recommendations along with engine replacement. – Rear tires will require replacement in the near future. – Perform tune up with fuel system service. – Front brakes require attention due to rust on rotors an uneven. – Replace brake fluid – Perform transmission service – Perform coolant service – Replace engine and cabin air filters
