Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

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.

The 2010 Kia Borrego was sold in two trims and with a choice of two engines, and the factory figures change with each of them. Every specification and sequence here is the one Kia published for the 2010 Borrego rather than a near-match carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines covered

  • 4.6L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 3.8L V6 (231 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • EX
  • LX

Known issues on the 2010 Borrego. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It was filed against the hydraulic service brakes, on the antilock and traction control side, and the consequence Kia documented is an engine compartment fire while parked or driving, which can increase the risk of injury. The campaign reaches certain 2010-2019 Borrego alongside other Kia models, so the 2010 Borrego falls inside it. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 5 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems in those filings are here.

From an antilock brake system inspection to routine service on either the V6 or the V8, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2010 Borrego.
