The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Kia documented the 1995 Sportage down to its own tightening sequences and adjustment values, and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to that exact year, engine and trim — so the figure you set a wrench to is the one Kia published for your Sportage, not a near match carried over from another model year.

Engines covered

  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • Base
  • EX

Known issues on the 1995 Sportage. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front seat belt buckle assembly: the safety belt buckle may "false latch" and expose the driver to unrestrained movement during a crash, and in the event of a crash the seat occupant may not be properly restrained. The second covers the rear suspension, where the nuts attaching the rear axle bearing oil seal retainers and brake backing plates to the rear axle housing may be under-torqued, causing those units to loosen or fall off — a condition that can cause oil leakage into the rear brake and onto the brake linings. Owners have filed 88 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 7 technical service bulletins.

From verifying a belt buckle that latches but does not hold to re-torquing the rear axle hardware or running a scheduled service, it keeps you on Kia’s own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1995 Sportage.

NHTSA #02V21600016/08/2002Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLE MAY "FALSE LATCH" AND EXPOSE THE DRIVER TO UNRESTRAINED MOVEMENT DURING A CRASH.

Consequence

IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

NHTSA #95V07300011/04/1995Component: SUSPENSION:REAR

THE NUTS ATTACHING THE REAR AXLE BEARING OIL SEAL RETAINERS AND BRAKE BACKING PLATES TO THE REAR AXLE HOUSING MAY BE UNDER- TORQUED CAUSING THESE UNITS TO LOOSEN OR FALL OFF.
