[@BrucesShop]

Thanks a lot for letting me see into a Kia 1.6.

[@s33therfan]

Any time! Thank you for watching.

[@life_of_riley88]

I have one of these in my 19' Rio. . .its buzzy and odd sounding, but 37-42mpg🤷 so I can't complain.

[@marlonsarmiento4020]

can i ask a question sir,,where is the vauum pump of hyundai veloster located and the return line of fuel?

[@frsfrosty5973]

There are two holes one is right below the water pump and the the other one is in the middle left of the cover it will help you remove the. Timing chain cover. By just treating the bolt

[@s33therfan]

Great informatiom , I really appreciate it. Thank you also for watching.

[@belindamesa5836]

So I have a P219F # 4 cylinder replace, so where the holes are at, is what I need to replace?? Those 4 injectors, which is #4?? And only have 56000 miles

[@SiikPros]

I told my mom this car was a bad idea! By the time I got a chance to talk some sense into her, the stealership had already won the battle.

[@SiikPros]

When you buy one of these you're not buying a car, you're buying a problem

[@spinoplays6703]

Probably because it was neglected, proper maintenance and it'll last a long time. Also don't buy from dealerships they'll try to fuck you over.

[@jackzheng20]

​@@SiikProssounds like you don't know how to maintain a car. Mines over 200,000 miles and still kicking.

[@Nathanael-yr1du]

I have a Sportage 1.6gdi 2017. Thank you so much for your vidéo. Are the lifters hydraulic? What are the main problems on theses engines? mine has misfires when accelerating between 2 and 3000 rpm... Thank you so much for your answer😊🇨🇵

[@s33therfan]

It has the bucket style lifters. These pretty much have the same issues as any engine but they are statistically more reliable the 2.0l. If you are not getting any codes you might try the crank sensor. Appreciate the feedback.

[@johnmitchell8925]

i that your washing machine in the background 🤣🤣😂

[@sebasballeux]

humming sound was driving me nuts too 😂

[@detodo2813]

Hello friend, does the Hyundai Veloster's 1.6 turbo gamma engine have an OCV micro oil filter? I appreciate your help

[@kyleallen1193]

Watching video at 6:21 the rear lift eyelet . There’s two oxygen sensor connectors what’s the third connector at bottom of that bracket .

[@WDMtea]

this was very helpful, bc I think I have a rear main oil leak. Thanks for the vid

[@s33therfan]

Glad it helped , thank you for the great feedback.

[@SaetS13]

Thanks alot! Great video!

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much.

[@adairjanney7109]

can you replace the 1.6l engine in the generation 2 soul with the 2.0 or is it not similar mounting etc

[@TruckinBeagle]

How many miles were on this? So it was your engine? You didn’t sound sure if it had seized before or after head gasket failure. This was an NA engine? I have the turbo 1.6 in my Forte GT. Very interesting tear down thank you.

[@s33therfan]

Yes . Basically the engine was overheated from a cracked radiator. 150k miles on the vehicle.Thanks for watching.

[@johnfranklin5277]

​@@s33therfanThese cars have a temperature gauge...why would someone keep driving it till it blew the head gasket! SURELY, if it was that hot, steam was coming out from under the hood. PEOPLE, if its running hot, SHUT IT DOWN...NOW.

[@leecowell8165]

In this day it just doesn't make ANY sense to keep driving once those temps start rising above nominal. This happened on my 7.3 diesel power stroke and unbelievably reliable engine but it blew the water pump. water and steam everywhere but once the temp started rising (the truck had a REAL gauge) I shut it down an got on the horn. No damage to the engine itself just replaced the pump and was good to go. ALL engines have coolant for a reason, folks.

[@adairjanney7109]

The quesztion I have is my engine is this engine, it has 250,000 miles on it. When I first had it, about the first 100,000 to 150,000 I was not very nice to it in terms of oil changes, I just did my best to make sure oil was in it when I could, was poor at the time. Anyway I baby it now but im worried its going to go anyday even though it gives zero signs that I can see that its going to go out. Do you have any recommendations I should do to this engine that might prolong its life, should I open it up and replace seals etc or just run it to death and replace it? I have not went to kia to ask for a recall engine because I think theyll tell me to go away since I already got 250,000 miles out of it, but I thought it was a safety recall.. you know they catch on fire or something...

[@s33therfan]

The first sign of any engine noise will most likely be the rod bearings . I would quit driving it immediately . From there I would replace the crank , rod bearings , and main bearings. If you catch that early on I wouldn't be surprised if the engine would last many more years. Thanks for the feedback.

[@bryannino641]

do you think i can change the head studs from oem to arp, one by one from the valve cover without removing the cams? or would i have to remove the cams ?

[@spookyzooki1985]

Nice break down video! Now rebuild video? Wanting to rebuild my 2012 veloster believe is the same engine

[@s33therfan]

Maybe in the future , I think it would be fun to rebuild. Thank you for the feedback.

[@milosdukin5631]

Can you prevent this from happening if you are driving it lightly 2500/rpm or less, assuming regular 5000 miles synth. oil changes?

[@s33therfan]

I think with proper maintenace and just taking care of it , i would say absolutely. Thanks for the feedback.

[@lesklower7281]

There are two deal breakers on this kia soul engine firstly a plastic thermostat cover and direct injection except for Toyota motors who take the trouble to have both direct injection and port injection well we own a reasonably new car which has port injection and a metal thermostat cover its on our Suzuki Baleno but fortunately they are not sold in the USA but are sold to the rest of the world and another thing built in the same factory in lndia they make the Toyota Starlet which is just a rebadged Suzuki Baleno and the Suzuki Baleno when sold in Australia they were the cheapest car sold in Australia

[@s33therfan]

Some good information , thank you for taking the time to share this. Appreciate your feedback.

[@lesklower7281]

@@s33therfan l don't like kias or Hyundai's mainly in Australia they are the most recalled vehicles in Australia at least once a month on the news you see a recall for Kias and Hyundai's also there very rare event when they catch fire

[@nasserel.mosrati1047]

This is my task for tomorrow 😊

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for watching.

[@adairjanney7109]

we will see what happens I just scheduled service at kia and put in the form: Replace recall engine bahaha how can they claim I have not done services and regular maint when the ENGINE runs fine still and it has 242,000 miles on it, seems I should get a free engine right? or am i crazy

[@s33therfan]

I would try to get one if you are able , once any issues show themselves. That is pretty good miles by any modern cars standards for sure , unless we are talking Toyota.

[@fernandofgg]

amazing job

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much.

[@SierraForeTweny]

thank u for this informative video, good sir

[@s33therfan]

Most welcome

[@lakelandcarkeys]

I just God a 14 rio same motor. I think it lost a rod, it will turn a little but not all the way over. I can't seen any windows in the block. I am going to pull it and tear it down to see if it's savable.

[@s33therfan]

You might be able to pull the bottom apart and take a look. Hopefully caught it before any damage. Let us know what you find , thanks for the feedback.

[@lakelandcarkeys]

@@s33therfan i did find a small chunk of aluminum in the plastic catch pan, but i cant see where it came from. ill drop the pan and see what it looks like inside

[@Itseightysix]

Hey I desperately need help , I brought new fuel injectors and I'm trying to replace the old ones , I know I gotta remove the intake manifold but I don't want to remove the whole engine just to get to it , is it possible to just remove the intake manifold w/o taking out the whole engine

[@s33therfan]

I am not sure if you can get it out by simply removing the fan , or if you will need to remove the radiator , front bumper etc. You can most definitely remove it without removing the engine . Thanks for the feedback.

[@s33therfan]

Here is a video of replacing the front end components to give you an understanding of how to take things apart. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5mTgmqfbtOGmas

[@spinoplays6703]

The G4FC MPi engine is better, any engine can last a long time if you take care of it and not treat it like junk. Mine has 122k miles, i plan on turbocharging my kia soul.

[@leecowell8165]

Why? If you wanna jet buy a jet.

[@Blktpcrzrs]

is the 2.0 interchangable with the 1.6? my soul has a 1.6 seized up and was looking at my options.

[@s33therfan]

In order to switch it over youd have to swap everything . Transmission , pcm , harness . Thank you for the feedback.

[@davidmode8517]

Thanks for a well done video . Very informative.

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the terrific feedback.

[@hidinfrombiden1734]

Is this mostly the same for a 2.0l kia engine?

[@s33therfan]

Here is a 2.0L I removed and did a tear down at the end. Thank you for the feedback. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoHQo4Ccj82Gm9E

[@leecowell8165]

the 2.0 does not have a turbo and it also has port injection. after 2022 that engine's reliability skyrocketed but one needs to keep their foot atta it because its mounted to a CVT tranny, okay? Respect your drive train and it will respect you.

[@dayslife]

👀✔👍

[@s33therfan]

Thank you

[@johnfranklin5277]

Would have liked to know how many miles were on the engine, and your opinion on the condition of the engines bearings...and if you thought it had good maintenance, or look like it had poor oil change intervals. Also since it was GDI, condition of the valves for carbon build up..

[@jonathansimard1323]

its a junk of an engine, my dad has a 2013 hyundai accent with this exact engine and had to replace the pcv valve, now we think the oil control rings are stuck and its making it drink oil like crazy. its got a bad knock now and also the manifolds are f**cked

[@johnfranklin5277]

Bought new or used...how many miles on it. Oil change intervals??
