Being the target of recurring problems on your automobile is really frustrating, furthermore the economic side that these complications signify, one must also add the time lost with a non-functional Kia Stronic and the time spent to identify and fix the breakdown. However, some problems are less significant than others, which is not to say that they do not worry us. On this page we are going to take a look at a problem that can affect everyone, feeling vibrations at acceleration on Kia Stronic. This problem can sometimes be hard to perceive but it must be dealt with. We will consequently begin our article with the origins of these vibrations on Kia Stronic, then, with the answers you have to reduce or stop these tremors.

Why does my Kia Stronic produce vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s begin our article with the origins of this kind of problem on your car. You should already know that an engine, specifically if it is ancient or if it has been driven quite a bit, can naturally vibrate without being a problem behind it. Large diesel engines, specifically those with a lot of torque, can cause this form of discomfort, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Kia Stronic only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this article. The fact that you feel trembling on your Kia Stronic during your acceleration periods, in this situation you will have to check the condition of some elements because many of elements can be at the starting point of these vibrations and even if you are unlucky a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of components that can be involved.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Kia Stronic is defective, it may cause vibrations that you will come to feel when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disrupt the behavior of your turbo and generate vibrations that you may come to feel at the time of acceleration of your Kia Stronic.

    • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or injured, the result will be alike, the power supply of your turbo will be disturbed and its behavior too. Be sure to visually verify their state.

I’m having vibrations on my Kia Stronic at acceleration and deceleration

We will now look into the scenario where you come to feel vibrations on your Kia Stronic when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only come to feel vibrations when you are idling on your Kia Stronic, please browse our article focused upon this problem to get rid of your problem. If, alternatively, you notice that your Kia Stronic vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of elements to verify:

  • EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which controls the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and affect the evacuation of exhaust gases which can cause Kia Stronic 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 effectively, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running properly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is clogged it will not let the fuel pass properly and therefore affect the operation of your Kia Stronic, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.

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

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

To conclude, in this last section, we will provide you the solutions available to you to overcome these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt dependent on the component that is affected:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Kia Stronic, it will be good for you to control all the components connected to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and most of the time the problem does not come specifically from the turbo. So make sure to examine your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Kia Stronic to your mechanic.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is generally easy to access and simple to take apart/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our article on cleaning the EGR valve of an Kia Stronic.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very fragile components and a few harmful particles may be enough to affect 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 locate the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Kia Stronic. If you don’t feel able to execute certain procedures don’t hesitate to go to your repair shop.
