Great video. Looks like a harder job than I was hoping for 😂

[@jasonb4566]

Thank you for the thorough instructions! Just did this last week and my heat and temperature gauge are working nicely again! 2013 kia sorento 3.5 V6 w/ 190,000 miles

[@shinola228]

You made it look easy. I need to do a 2008 Sonata V6 and it looks like the same pump/ process. Thanks for making this video.

[@TheDuskmourn]

Thankfully the thermostat was very easy on this version of the motor is facing towards the radiator next to the battery. It's below the top hose. Make sure to put it at 12 o'clock position. With shorter end facing out. There is a mark on the housing to indicate where the top of the thermostat goes.

Nice work

[@2victor2]

Great video. Thank you.

[@dinscool85]

Did you replace the tensioner as well ? It looks new towards the end of the video.

[@LG-tq5mu]

Great video. Did you replace tensioner assembly also?

[@e.s.l5861]

This looks almost identical to the process for a 2017 3.3 lamba as well

How did he get that off with the Bolt won't come out I didn't see any breaks in the pump why is the bolt still in there and how did the pump come off

[@tashahuffman8552]

I need to know where the water goes in a Kia a Kia Sinatra Dan to cool it off where does the water go under the hood

[@missflip90]

Mounting bolt torque specs?

[@shakilahmed4003]

Hey mate. Do I need replace my kia sorento water pump at 150k. No issue or no leaking currently.

[@floydbryant8711]

If its not broke why would it need replaced

[@ThanhNguyen-mm7wo]

The video skipped the 6mm hex socket. Doing the job now and that one stuck. I guess it was the same as well but was cut for production value ;)

[@worth287]

I am having problems with one running a little warm thinking it's something going on with the pump 😮

[@jonathanbelanger6574]

My 2015 no need to take the top mount off

[@rafaelcervantes6655]

2016 how do I bleed the air out the system plz
