Being the target of recurring problems on your motor vehicle is particularly annoying, furthermore the economic side that these problems represent, one must also add the time lost with a non-operational Kia Rio and the time spent to establish and remedy the breakdown. On the other hand, some problems are less severe than others, which is not to say that they do not stress us. Today we are going to take a look at a problem that can occur to everyone, feeling vibrations at acceleration on Kia Rio. This problem can oftentimes be tricky to perceive but it must be looked after. We will therefore commence our guideline with the origins of these vibrations on Kia Rio, then, with the answers you have to reduce or stop these tremors.

Why does my Kia Rio release vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s commence our guideline with the origins of this type of problem on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is old or if it has been driven a lot, can naturally vibrate without being a problem behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can provoke this kind of impression, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Kia Rio only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting circumstance for us in this guideline. The fact that you suffer trembling on your Kia Rio during your acceleration periods, in this situation you will have to verify the condition of different parts because various of elements can be at the starting point of these vibrations and whether or not you are unfortunate a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Kia Rio is defective, it may provoke vibrations that you will suffer when you accelerate at the moment it is running.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will manage the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disrupt the performance of your turbo and deliver vibrations that you may feel at the time of acceleration of your Kia Rio.

    • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or harmed, the end result will be the same, the power supply of your turbo will be disrupted and its performance too. Make sure you visually examine their condition.

I’m getting vibrations on my Kia Rio at acceleration and deceleration

We will now look into the case where you feel vibrations on your Kia Rio when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only feel vibrations when you are idling on your Kia Rio, please have a look at our guideline dedicated to this problem to resolve your problem. If, on the other hand, you notice that your Kia Rio vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of components to examine:

  • EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which manages the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disturb the evacuation of exhaust gases which can provoke Kia Rio vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that control the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will bring out the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working correctly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running correctly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is blocked it will not let the fuel pass correctly and therefore disturb the operation of your Kia Rio, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the most important triggers of a Kia Rio that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Kia Rio? What can I do?

Finally, in this last section, we will tell you the solutions available to you to get over these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt according to the component that is affected:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Kia Rio, it will be good for you to control all the parts connected to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and in most cases the problem does not come exclusively from the turbo. So remember to examine your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Kia Rio to your garage area.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is often times easy to access and easy to disassemble/clean. You can always check out it and clean it, for this see our guideline on cleaning the EGR valve of an Kia Rio.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very delicate parts and a few impurities may be enough to disturb their operation. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply change it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will just have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the information you need to uncover the source of the vibrations at acceleration on your Kia Rio. If you don’t feel able to perform certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your auto technician.
