On the kia 2002 sportage i spent 15 Litres of fuel for 100KM is that normal?and can you tell me the normal Litres of gas foor 100KM on the kia 2002 sportage

That fuel consumption is a bit heavy, but not excessive, depending on the driving conditions. In heavy traffic and slow town driving with a lot of stop starts it would be acceptable but on the open road in 2 wheel mode it would be excessive. Kia do not seem to manage much better than about 8-10 l/100km, even on their sedans.

Drivers door won't open using outside latch.

The rod connecting the outside latch handle to the latch catch is disconnected. Someone will need to take the door panel off and repair the connection rod. It was a broken plastic connector that joined the rods on my 2003 Kia Optima that caused the problem.

Hi I need to locate the vin number on a 1997 kia sportage. I cannot locate it on the chassis

The vin number should be located on the driverside at the bottom of the windshield. Looking from the outside of the car on the driverside you should see it through the windshield. Hope this will help you.

The push rod has detached from the button making it impossible to open the door from the outside driver's side

You have to remove the door panel to get in and see if it is a broken clip or what.

Dash lights don't work

Sounds like its most likely just a blown fuse. It happened to me last week.
In the fuse box down on the driverside floor, pull the one that is on the top row closest too you (I think it shows for 'tail' on the diagram.
There should be a fuse puller in the fuse box as well as a replacement fuse down on the bottom of the box. If not, they're easy to find.

Check your fuses in the engine bay as you may have shorted them out when you washed the engine.
