[@rogerroger5585]

Absolute gold standard on how to do a diy video!! Great lighting. Closeups when needed. No excessive talking. Torque values and part numbers included. Thanks so much my man.

[@WrenchingRyan]

I’m glad you appreciate my video. I do appreciate your comment, thanks man.

Couldn't agree more!!! I wish all DIYs were made this way

Editing was beautiful, the sound was engaging and the quality of the video…..I’m done searching after this one. Thanks man you fricken rocked this one. I HAVE ZERO QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER. Now I need to figure out what the hell I Im gonna do for the rest of my day seeing as though I won’t be searching for a how to video all throughout my day. You gave me back something so valuable these days. TIME! Gratitude my friend.

Just purely based off the fact he spent time to make that ziptie look better for the customer and persevering with that pesky tab.... im giving this guy a Like and Sub!!! I would want this guy working on any of my cars, any day! Well done boss!

Thank You so much.

For those who want to copy/paste to get parts... Plugs (x6): K18849 11070 Gasket: 29215 3CFA1 Great guide video. Watched your 2016 3.3L video as well. Both are well edited and helpful.

[@WrenchingRyan]

Thanks for doing this.

[@teddiazjr.6223]

Cool

[@michaelcarpenter6429]

3 plugs were all replaced?

[@naimarbaje3202]

Thanks for the vid. Bro. I just finished mine. It's 10:27 pm EST where I'm at and I started like at 4:50. The first three plugs went by surprisingly fast. When I was screwing the engine cover back on, the right corner bolt seemed take forever to tigthen. My wife was helping me when I said, "this feels sorta loose but I feel like I'm overtightening". My wife was like, "well, just stop then". I was like, "one more turn and that's it". SNAP! Freaking bolt broke ON THE BLOCK. Shit. Now to carefully extract it without damaging the threading (cuz it would have been game over at that point) and then find a similar bolt. An hour later, removed and bolt replaced. But then the three plug assemblies from the front of the engine came off in parts. Like only the center (I think that's #4) came out in one piece. The other two came out with just the top part and it was a nightmare removing the rubber plugs without damaging them. Whatever. That's my horror story. Found out that the passenger side headlight wire is fried. The fuel pump has already been replaced under warranty (just before the recall was announced). This vehicle is starting to show its true colors.

[@WrenchingRyan]

@@naimarbaje3202 I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m glad you got it done 👊🏽… here’s my story, I worked at this vehicle early Friday morning for check engine light concerns I fixed the CEL and also mentioned a spark plugs service, I got a green light from the customers around 4:30 pm , customer wants their car back at 5pm, I’m like yeah I can get it done, I was doing good and confident that I can beat the promise time until I installed the 14mm intake manifold incorrectly, the bolt is not in the hole it’s just seating in the bracket, then I started the manifold long bolt by hand, when I used my ratchet I felt something is not right, well I ignored it and kept going until I heard a snap and the 10mm bolt kept spinning, we have to give the customer car rental with company expense and I showed up the next day to get it done. Small mistake ruined my weekend…

Best DIY vidio for a auto repair ever , I am ordering parts now , You are a pro , I wish your shop was in Florida,Thank You

[@WrenchingRyan]

Good luck with your repair! Thanks for watching.

[@scottw324]

Great video! All though I don't understand why the designers would design it where you have to take the head off in order to change the rear three plugs. The front three make complete sense and look so much easier. My experience is swapping plug and coil pack on a 2.4L turn engine. Very easy to get to all four plugs on top. This obviously is a lot more intense but your video was great. Thank you very much!

[@WrenchingRyan]

Thank you. Most 3.3L V6 engine are designed this way but older Sorento with V6 in it don’t have to remove intake manifold to service all spark plugs, 2.4L are cheaper to maintain and easier to work on. Thanks again.

[@peterorser5588]

Thank you so much, I used the first part of this video (up to throttle body removal) to get to my PCV valve and replaced it with ease this past weekend. I would have gone further and did the plugs too but I had to order the surge tank gasket and it won't come until this Thursday. So will do them on the weekend. I hope the rest is as easy as you made it look. 😀 I have to comment for others to check the right spark plug for the year of your Sorento. Despite being similar to the 2019, I have a 2018 3.3L LX Sorento and the correct plug on the NGK and Kia parts websites indicates that the spark plug code is 18846 11070 for the V6 3.3L The 18849 11070 is for the 2018 2.4L, It is the correct one for the 2019 3.3L. I don't imagine the 2 plugs are that much different but it is strange they would make that switch one year later. Thanks again for your video

[@WrenchingRyan]

I’m glad this video help you out, good point about plugs part # that’s why I always compare from old to new parts. thanks for watching.

[@reikoshea]

I'm only here wondering why it was an $800 labor charge for my wife's spark plugs. (I came here after hearing the quote, but before arguing). Now I know. It's honestly wild that no one in my family ever had a FWD V6 until this car. That was a surprising amount of work for what I generally think of as a "quick" job. Guess I know for next time. No FWD V6s.

[@WrenchingRyan]

If you’re not planning of pulling anything 4cylinder engine always a good choice and cheap to maintain/repair. Thanks for watching.

I have this exact car with 108k miles and was thinking about getting this job done, what other parts would you recommend getting replaced & other services getting done if a shop is having to go this far to replace the spark plugs

[@WrenchingRyan]

They can clean the throttle body assembly and that’s about it. Thanks for watching.

[@ZloB1N]

Thanks for the video! I watched both this and another video. Thanks for adding the torque values. One of the commentators in the other video noticed that the O-ring replacement wasn't included. I would like to know if it needs to be replaced while disconnecting the throttle. Otherwise great video! Keep up the excellent work! Like and subscribe from me!

[@WrenchingRyan]

Great point! my experience you can re used the throttle O-ring, 9 out of 10 the O-ring always in a good shape, also not bad idea to replace it and clean the throttle plate. thanks for the like and sub. 👊

[@aronquezada4603]

Hello Bryan , did you calibrate the spark plugs ??, also will you recomend use an after market spark plug as NGK , Champion, Bosh ?

[@WrenchingRyan]

Hello, OEM spark plugs are pre gapped, but always a good idea to check them, I strongly suggest to spend extra money to get OEM parts, my experience on aftermarket parts always comes with surprises.

Hello this is the same procedure for the Kia Sorento 2019 L 2.4 GDI? i saw you changed only 3 spark plugs, and mine have 4 spark plugs, why you have 3 here?? pls let me know.

[@WrenchingRyan]

this is 3.3L V6 engine and I replaced 6 spark plugs, I don’t know why some of you guys only see 3 plugs but I replaced all 6. please re watch it. by the way 2.4L is way easier.

No need to change out the PCV valve while you were in there?

[@teddiazjr.6223]

I would. That was the bottom hose

[@RichardCorbeil]

Hi, great video, well explain, plus all the torque value. Will it be the same procedure for a Sorento 2014 V6?

Is it the same for the 2020 v6

[@WrenchingRyan]

Part number might be different but the procedure is the same.

Would this be the same procedure for 2013 Sorento V6?

I’m at 79k miles or 127k km on my Kia Sorento. I’m going to replace the spark plugs with the help of this awesome video, but as you mentioned the ignition coils aren’t due till 90k miles. Is it worth it or too much expense to replace them at the same time? It’ll probably be about 4 months and I’ll hit the mark anyways

If you’re that close to hit 90k service interval probably good idea to replace the coil as well. Happy wrenching.
