Love the engine videos🤙. I have always liked how different techs attack the same job's differently. We remove the whole front end and remove the engine that way. Cheers.
Same here, popping off the bumper and core support cuts many hours off this job and no alignment needed afterward, same with the V6 Sorento. Also car can be pushed outside with front end off but cradle still in as there is often a back order on something you need for those.
What was the reason for the engine replacement on your van? I have mine at Kia right now for a loud ticking noise that sounds abnormal..... Awaiting the diagnosis results soon.
@@WrenchingRyan How much to replace this engine? The dealer told me the bolt backed out of my engine block causing the head gasket to fail. I put in some liquid head gasket that is holding me over but would like to save the van.
@@tamatama18 Hello! Please give me advice, I was offered to buy a Kia Sedona 2015, engine size 3.3 gasoline, mileage 240 km! Is it worth buying such a device or is it better to refrain?
My 2015 Kia Sedona has 94k miles. Kia says the engine needs replaced but hasn’t yet given me a price. If I was the original owner it would be covered by warranty. But since I bought it one year old it’s on me to pay for everything. I was meticulously about the maintenance on this car. Loved it until now. I’ll never walk in to a Kia dealership again.
I spoke with the DPSM and requested good will assistance. They strung me along for TWO MONTHS, requested my proof of maintenance. I supplied that. Then one day they emailed me denying any assistance. No reason just “denied” Never again Kia. Never again.
I was denied by DPSM , in my case I am the third owner having 60k mileage on it ,In my case a faulty oil pressure switch ($160) brings down an entire engine into crap , but I have seen kia sedona 2016 and 17 running over 250k miles .I resolved my issue with a jungard engine 55k miles on it to replace original , almost 14k miles covered still no problem
Wife just fried our motor and I love the van so am getting it replaced! Everything else works fine so I’m turning into a mini camper and adding a trailer hitch for my Harley! I’m gonna take my bike and my dog and will probably never come home!
Hey Bud thanks for the video! I see on your other video that you removed the "front rad support" instead of dropping the frame. Which method would you prefer on 4X4, removing the front rad support (splitting the engine and transmission) or drop the frame (drop both engine and transmission together)? Thanks in advance.
If you working on 4X4 and you have the equipment like the red table or equivalent I used I strongly recommend of dropping the subframe with engine and transmission in it a lot easier this way. I the other video you see I think other technician using the table so I have to do it in different method but dropping everything works best for me.

What was the failure requiring replacement? Seems you went to the trouble of pulling the cams before deciding to replace the engine. I assume you saw something in the cams or valves that told you the engine was wrecked? I'm currently doing a major job on my 2015 Sedona. It had a head gasket leak. I read about block head bolt threads failing on some of these engines. I had two head bolts on each bank that were loose when disassembling. I've installed threaded inserts from Huhn Solutions, which seem to me to be better than Timeserts. I should get the heads back from the machine shop tomorrow. Hoping to have it all back together in a few days (I'm very slow compared to you). I currently have 125K miles on the engine and I'm hoping to get 100K more. Any comments or advice?
Hello! Please give me advice, I was offered to buy a Kia Sedona 2015, engine size 3.3 gasoline, mileage 240 km! Is it worth buying such a device or is it better to refrain?
So the engine failed on my 2016 kia sedona weeks ago due to crank bearing let go! The Milage was 135,000. Extra warranty thank God! They said the order a block replacement, is this what they mean? Lol I hope so!!
In the fuel rail itself, you have to removed surge tank and intake manifold to access the sensor, also the high pressure fuel pipe removal is required and that parts is one time used only.
My 2015 Kia Sedona only has 67,000 I bought it in 2016 a lease trade in with 25,000 miles Ive been dealing with health issues in the past 3 years so ive barely drove my vehicle. But always keep my fluids topped off matience etc. Well ' i went to drive my car the week of Christmas 2 major Christmas shopping trips! No over heating etc. But my last trip my heat was going in and out blowing a harsh chemical smell. Kia couldn't get my car in until Feb 8th!!! I hadn't even drove my car at all. Because the weather is so cold. I cant drive without heat with arthritis! Kia place called me and Said Head Gasket is cracked??? Went to pick it up today. Now its blowing white smoke and making a weird sound when i crank it! The service guy said take it across the street and sell it to Car Max! Well i couldn't because the car temperature went all the way to extreme. Now im having it towed home tonight.... I just paid off the car! Any suggestions as to What i can do? If i have to head Gasket fixed? Could i still trade it in somewhere? Or am i screwed already? I really need advice????? Thanks 😊
I am not a vehicle expert but gone through the same issue , I think the smell is from coolant leakage from head crack , Only option is change engine with a used engine from companies like LKQ or Junkyard like chucks auto from PA, Question is do you have money for engine replacement which will take almost $8000k, used engine alone cost $5000 plus then labour to put on the engine , In my case I don't have any other option , so put an engine from LKQ , as of today no problem , initially wetness under oil pan , but dealership told oil pressure switch was faulty ,Mine almost completed 12000 miles recently after engine replacement , Companies like Chuck auto give lifetime warranty if you are ready to pay , make sure you fully understand what offer they give before taking a decision .Never go for Remanufactured engine from any 3rd party vendors , they will take your money and will not stand behind the product ,Jungard is better bz there engine is original factory fit
Great video. I know the 2.4's and 2.0's have issues, but I had no idea the 3.3L had problems. This is the 2nd 3.3L replacement video you have done. Is this common?
I've got a sorento with the 3.3 and we have always done maintenance properly and it still spun its rod bearings. Extremely expensive for a used replacement engine!
@@WrenchingRyan Im having trouble finding a sorento engine,do you know if the sedona engine would work? I've seen several with the same vin digit that I need for my sorento.
It just cost this customer $125,000 for the engine swap. 5x the what they paid for it. KIAs suck yo. They quoted me $2,000 just to figure out the ticking noise which is the timing chain tensioners. $60 worth of parts that I can do on my own. Dont buy a KIA.
This is the reason I do my own maintenance. This guy never used a torque wrench for any of the bolts including the wheel lug nuts! Basically throw it together as fast as you can and hope nothing falls off when the owners are driving 👎
You sound really dumb. A kia engine pays around 5 hours for a 2.4L. Haven't done a sedona engine yet before but my guess is doesn't pay enough. HE IS TOUCHING HUNDREDS OF BOLTS AND NUTS YOU THINK EVERY TECH IS GONNA TORQUE EVERY SINGLE BOLT? If we did it would take weeks to put back together and get paid no MORE THAN 8 HOURS FOR THE WHOLE JOB. AND ALSO IF YOU STOP RUNNING YOUR MOUTH AND WATCH THE OTHER VIDEOS HE SNUGS UP THE WHEELS AND THAN USES A TORQUE WRENCH MR. KNOW IT ALL. Clearly you've never worked as a tech for a living since it's easy to talk and not actually experience it. We are paid by commission not hourly. Go troll somewhere else with your stupid comment.
@@ronijr4918 Now who sounds stupid admitting you do shoddy workmanship! I rest my case, this is why if you have the knowledge do it yourself! Kia and every manufacturer specify torque settings for every nut and bolt and I agree not all are critical but some are. But so called technicians like you think it’s ok to rattle away with your impact tools with no regards and no idea how tight or loose a bolt is. I guess you have never had a wheel fall off because the bone head tech didn’t tighten or over tightened the lug nuts, because they were in a rush to move on to the next job. It’s never happened to me because I always torque them but it’s happened to many people I know who blindly thought the Stealerships people do good work.
@@peterbutler904 Since you like to play DIY go play doctor ohhh, ohh and go play attorney at a cout hearing 🙃 and tell the JUDGE YOUR DIY ATTORNEY SINCE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING AND CAN TELL A PROFESSIONAL HOW TO DO THERE JOBS. Bye troll. 👋
@@ronijr4918 I’m not a troll, just pointing out that technicians are not encouraged to do good, safe workmanship by the stealerships with the pay structure and they get away with it! Does that make it right? If the aircraft maintenance technicians worked like you guys, there would be planes falling from the sky left and right. They don’t because every single nut and bolt has to torqued, checked and double checked. That’s to save people’s lives. It should be no different in the vehicle repair because peoples lives could be at risk too.
@@peterbutler904 Okay I'll take your word that you ain't clowning. But listen as a aviation technician you don't get paid " FLAT RATE AKA COMMISSION " you get paid a salary or hourly rate, so you can take a month playing dumb and taking naps. And for your 2nd concern " USE A TORQUE WRENCH ON EVERY BOLT " Well yes every car manufacturer needs torque specs for everything. Does that mean we have to torque the Air box, Headlight nut, Glove box nuts, blend door actuators, ignition coil, interior trims.Etc...? Yes any qualified tech will know ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH WITH CRITICAL COMPONENTS. Like when rebuild an engine, head gasket bolts etc. But for wheels we also have " Torque sticks " MANU SHOPS USE THOSE because it's within in specs. However if you paid attention he was doing a " Long block " meaning he only had to tighten bolts that are sizes "10,12,14mm in size and those don't require but 10-15Ft Lb. And just by using your hands and a wrench you can have a good feeling on how tight it is. P.S THE KIA STINGER I BELIEVE IT'S THE 3.3L YOU CAN'T EVEN USE A SOCKET AND RACHET, the only way to acces the drain plug is to use the thinnest WRENCH you have. So you tell me how can I torque something if my torque wrench doesn't even fit to begin with??
Nice work. You're a very patient man. My wife owns one of these, and i hate working on it. Too cramped. Lol
