A new turbo designed for the versatile use of the Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage is a family SUV frequently called upon for mixed driving: town, A-roads and motorways, sometimes with a substantial load (luggage, light trailer, large family). This type of use — alternating between idling in urban traffic and brisk acceleration on open roads — puts the turbocharger under considerable strain, particularly on the 2.0 GDI petrol engine fitted with the Theta block. Driving with rapid rev increases followed by an immediate engine cut, without any cooling-down period, accelerates wear on the bearings and the forced-induction system.
Compatibility with the Sportage 2.0 GDI engine
This new turbo is compatible with reference 28231-2G420 and applies to the 2.0 GDI petrol engine (engine family Theta, Theta 2, 2L-THETA2, 6AT4WD) fitted to the Kia Sportage. Before placing an order, we recommend checking the exact reference printed on your old turbo or on your vehicle registration document, as certain versions of the Sportage may be fitted with different turbos depending on their trim level.
Warranty and delivery of the Sportage turbo
This turbo is new and sold as a straightforward purchase: no old unit to return — there is no return or collection of your old turbo. A single delivery is made, that of your new turbo. The product is covered by a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment for your order can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.
Symptoms and advice before fitting
A loss of power under acceleration, unusual exhaust smoke, a pronounced whistling noise, or abnormal oil consumption are common signs of a worn turbo on the 2.0 GDI engine. The main causes of failure are linked to insufficient lubrication, poor-quality engine oil or neglected oil changes, a clogged air filter, or a cracked intercooler hose. Before fitting the new turbo, check the condition of the oil circuit, hoses and air intake, and remember to pre-lubricate the turbo with oil before the first engine start to ensure immediate bearing lubrication.
