Kia Sportage has always been a crap car for KIA.
i have a 01/2001 Kia sportage and its a great car but has its problems like every other car, although it was slacking in power and revving like a jet engine, but last night on the way home from work i heard a big bang so checked under the hood and found the fan had broken away from the bearing area and pierced the radiator, i can get a radiator for $300 and cant find a viscus fan anywhere in stock, the up to this is the fan must be the reason for my loss of power and jet engine revving, cos without the fan trying to get home it was running perfect?
