Vehicle Description
Very good Kia that needs steel brake line replaced. 90,000 miles. Was bought new by my Father when he was 87 years old, driven until he was 95, when he went into a nursing home in Sebring. As he aged, he had acquired some small dents, but nothing major. I took him out on Sundays, drove it occasionally until he passed away at 98, then drove it locally for 2 years. I then bought a Jaguar which I prefer, so parked it but started it occasionally. Mileage is just under 90,000. It has 5 full size wheels and tires plus the factory small spare. Interior is very nice, back seat hardly used.AC simply stopped working one day. I think it is just a relay, but do not know. I moved it to my warehouse in Venus, 30 miles South where I go on Sunday to retrieve Jaguar parts I sell on eBay. 2 months ago I was moving it around the warehouse when I noticed a loss of brakes, saw fluid leaking and parked it. I jacked it up and diagnosed it . Brake fluid was empty. I filled reservoir, pressed pedal, it l lost fluid. I found there is a junction block or hydraulic unit, behind and 6 inches above steering rack crossmember, there is rust on brake lines going into it, one is leaking. I think it simply weakened and began leaking. I would suggest replacing all those steel lines going into that block, you will have a very good low mileage Kia. I have attached a diagram showing the 5 brake lines, cost is $157 plus shipping. Service manager said it was a 4 hour job to replace the 5 lines. If you want the work done locally, and to have it checked, I also have a very reliable mechanic who gives estimates, but you would have to transport it to Sebring. I have clear Florida title. If you are out of the US, I know a reliable shipping agent in Fort Lauderdale. Please contact me for more details. You must meet me in Venus to view it. I am there Sunday afternoons, or can come by appointment. Please call or email me do NOT text. NOTE, Because I am a British car specialist, might consider an English car part trade. Please contact me.
