Hi-

oes anyone know where to get a maintenance manual for an 01 Sportage? Haynes does not have one. i don't want to buy the Kia one from the dealer if i can avoid it.

Do you mean owners manual or repair manual? A so called "maintenance" manual is not made.

If it's a repair manual you're looking for most of what you'll need can be found here. >>> http://www.kiatechinfo.com/index.asp Just register and go to "shop". I use it all the time for my customer vehicles.

i do not mean the owner's manual. i call it a maintenance manual, you call it a repair manual. maintenance sometimes requires repairs- e.g., changing a timing belt (preventative maint.) requires some disassembly and instruction.

so, i need a repair/maintenance manual. i have checked that site, but it is not comprehensive. also, i prefer hard copies, they are easier to work with.
