How to change the HSG engine drive belt hyundai ioniq kona niro and bonus tutorial for spark plugs

[@mikedimaio1237]

Getting ready to do my 100k service, this video is perfect, thanks again Sir.

[@romano3292]

Thank you for sharing to us your knowledge and experience. Great job! I believed on your word and didn’t buy that extra tool. I changed my Ioniq plug-in hybrid HSG belt with a box wrench (slightly offset) and 2 feet extension on it. I’ve done that with no problem, but very, very slowly and use my force. Definitely doable. You need another person to help you from the top while working underneath. Did it on my car placed on a little Harbor Freight ramp. First belt change after 200,310 miles (highway), as well as clutch actuator reservoir DOT 4 fluid change, and spark plugs. Didn’t have any problems with my car before, and the old belt was still good. Great quality. Thank you again and keep doing your best, God bless!

Great video!! I tried this method and I broke the 12point 17mm torque point on the tensioner arm - too much torque applied by myself (I guess)... I then ordered the belt tensioner compression for 100$ CDN and even though a bit slow process, I found this a safer method when you are working alone... BTW, keep on posting this great videos on the Ioniq Hydrid. They are well done, easy to understand and very educational. THANKS!!!

[@alexands1]

Where did you buy the tensioner compressor in Canada?

[@HollywoodsStang]

@@alexands1 Sorry for the late reply! I bought the tool online directly from Sealey in the UK... Tool model No VSE4309.

[@leul7998]

Same 😢… it needs a special tool

[@danielxhallari818]

Really nice content we'll done for education us non mechanic people really good

[@samuelfox8126]

I appreciate your videos for the ioniq. This car really lacks videos about it. My belt has over 83000 miles on it all it's definitely due.

[@zonie1953]

Jose, I started watching your channel because you used the Toyota Hybrid badge at the start ! After watching some of your videos on repairs of these Hyundais with the HSG drive belt , along with the ridiculous automatic dual clutch transmission they have . With the low mileage problems you have shown , along with the high priced upkeep . So glad I own a Toyota !😊

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Yes indeed.☝️😖

[@steves7973]

Those spark plug coil boots do a good job of keeping the dust out !

[@ADDwithJTC]

You are amazing my friend. Most pleasant and educational video! I will watch again when mine is due. Thank you!

[@nicholasarechabala5291]

Doing it this way I broke the nut end on the car that was used for the tensioner right off. Should’ve bought the proper tool. Love your videos. Just warning others

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

If you don’t do it the proper way then yes, you can brake it… but at the right position it’s just fine this way

[@motorwerks_uk]

@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics just a littile compression is enough. too much and it will break

[@roul3688]

Floki is doing cars instead of boats now huh? Thanks for the video! Just got a hybrid and trying to learn as much as possible.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Jajajajajajajajajajaja thanks. Follow our TikTok is more in-depth of daily stuff about hybrids

[@xf1961]

Great video! When he says go slow releasing the main tensioner, GO SLOW. Don’t ask me how I know but let’s say you did not go slow enough and sheared the bolt off so now you have to find another way to reset the tensioner… but who would do that😅😅 Floor jack and a pry bar going vertical while going SLOW can get it done 😅

[@mohammedali4439]

nice work ⚙️ keep going 👍🏻

Nice and informative video thank you :)

Top job Jose , I'll be tackling this job for the first time next week so it's nice to see a fellow mechanic doing this job 👍

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Glad it helps my friend, it is very easy just take your time and proper tools with the tenssioner 👋😎

[@CarsExposed]

@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics I bought the bottom tensioner tool but it seems like Hyundai didn't leave much room for us to work in there , will see how I get on Cheers Pal

Saluti dall'Italia. Sono una persona del fai da te,ho una Kia Niro Hybrid 1.6.🎉Potresti fare un disegno su un foglio per capire i vari passaggi della cinghia da togliere. Perché nella parte inferiore non si è visto bene. Grazie di una risposta e complimenti🎉

[@ReflejosdelCielo]

Muy buen video, estaría bien en otra ocasión hacer un vídeo de cómo se limpia el caudalimetro del aire y la mariposa de aire ya que con el tiempo pueden acumular suciedad. Es solo una idea. Un saludo y gracias por enseñarnos estos vídeos.

Gracias raul. Voy hacer ese video muy pronto...

Hi Jose when the belt has to be changed

[@ruimendes3130]

you are a king!

[@DKTek07]

My 2017 FE has 423K miles and the original belt was replaced at 340K after damage from hitting a wild boar. All Florida driving. My original plugs were replaced at 387K despite functioning fine.

[@samuelfox8126]

Wow, that's hi mileage. My belt still looks new at 94000 miles. Zero cracks on the grooves. Makes sense though if it lasted you that long. Car companies trying to make money on parts I guess, saying to change it sooner.

[@DKTek07]

@@samuelfox8126 I’ve got another 2017 Niro FE with 282k miles. Although, I bought it used with 168k.

[@leetos.4915]

Hey Jose my name is Joselito hehe I really valued your blog on these ioniq models cuz I own a 2017 model one with 256K mileage due to Uber Lyft here in LA and I wanted to ask if these are all possible to do without a lifter but maybe just a ramp cuz I have limited access here in my garage…about the spark plugs…is it recommended also I can use a Bosch double iridium spark plugs from auto zone instead of OEM? I figured you use a non OEM transmission oil on one of your videos to replace the trans oil hehe thanks brother

[@aguzmanNY]

Followed this video and I did it with ramps successfully

[@Peaches-N-Mango]

Do you know if a stretched belt could effect cold-start idle? I've got no OBD codes but if the car hasn't been started for a few hours the idle sort of bounces, almost like a random misfire but not quite as bad

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Clean the injectors and replace the spark plugs

[@Peaches-N-Mango]

@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics tried that, still does it. Have you ever seen a stretched belt cause a slightly bouncing idle?

[@mmkk8384]

What are the torques for the ignition coil and spark plugs? Are the plugs pregapped? Measure by any chance and/or know the allowed range? Great videos!

[@hakunamatata6641]

UPDATE: got a reply from the dealer *The recommended manufacturers torque settings for these spark plugs is between 14.7nm and 25.5nm.*

[@mmkk8384]

Found all the torques and other great service-manual info here: www.kniro.net/kia_niro_2017_de_hev_service_manual-689.html

[@bertorio]

I appreciate the video but you're leaving out very important information. We need to see how you are loosening the tension below, hand position, what tool, how much turn, etc. Also, we need to see how you remove and install the belt.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

It is actually very easy…

[@s980845]

My 2013 3rd Gen Prius is coming up on 100,000 miles. How much does it cost to clean the EGR cooler, valve, and intake manifold? I've heard that those clog, which can cause head temps to be above tolerance, which can lead to head gasket failure.

Yes... its coming very soon 😎👍 ... subscribe

[@kyrosmike]

That tensioner was so tight it bent my 17mm 12 point, I had to use a pickle fork and a jack to compress that sucker. Plus, the 12 point nut on the tensioner arm rounded off.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Yes they are very tight so you need laverage and move it very slow... you can't move it fast...

[@CarolineBielskis1]

Great video. My question is, The belt looks like it's in good condition. Is there a way to tell if it's worn, And must be replaced? Or do you replace it at the intervals you stated, As regular maintenance, Just to be sure? Thank you.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

By mileage

[@remywien]

Hello What is the cylindrical motor/pump? just under the engine? I thought it was the alternator… is it the climate control pump ?

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

It's the HSG (hybrid starter Generator) we have a full tear down video about it... check it out 👋😎👋😎

[@remywien]

@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics Ok Thank you for your quick answer but my question was too imprecise : I was talking about the part below the engine, in the lowest place...but I think I found : it must be the climate control compressor. Indeed, it has to work even when the engine is off...

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

@@remywien yes... it is the AC Compressor... it is full electric and works with high voltage...

[@remywien]

@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics ok… by the way, does the HSG work on 12v or high voltage? I noticed that un EV mode, when the engine is on, and disengaged (for heating), the battery is charging…

[@RelaxingandMeditation736]

Hey Bro it’s the same belt with sonata hybrid Lf 2106 ? what’s the part number ?

[@plin20000]

Owners manual says to gap to 0.04" except the Hyundai OE spark plugs are pre-gapped to 0.028". I have had so much fuel dilution in my oil report after 4000 miles oil change interval.

Hello friend, how are you doing? The engine of my 2014 Hyundai Sonata has recently changed, but it doesn't turn on because I need to calibrate the Engine/HSG but I have no idea how to do it. You can help me in some way, I really appreciate your time.

[@allenpaskewitz276]

Hello. I pulled the tensioner bolt too much and it snapped right off. Is there another way I can change my belt? Or do I have to remove the engine and take it apart to put on a new belt

What's this part number?

[@21boxhead]

I DON'T THINK DIY'ERS HAVE A 10,000 DOLLAR LIFT IN THEIR DRIVEWAY TO PERFORM THAT JOB

[@nowheretoofar]

This is a very poor method. The tension on that 17mm tensioner is not built to accommodate the stress applied. The tensioner broke following this method, so others beware!! Whe nthe tensioner broke, I was lucky I did not get seriously injured. Just replace the belt the correct way and save yourself the risk.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

I explained very well… you probably did it wrong because I always change normally with no problems… use the right tools and the right angle…

[@tomg8069]
