I have a 2004 Kia Sorento and my thermostat needs to be changed out the guy told me it's going to be the whole days to fix that there are no other cars ahead of me or anyting is he correct how long does it take
I have a 2004 Kia Spectra EX (2.0) . The bottom hose is cold and the top hose is warm/hot. Would that be a thermostat or a water pump. Also, the radiator fan doesn't click on. Please help.
+jackslater230011 Correct, either thermostat or water pump. The cooling system has two circuits basically. One cycles around the engine block keeping your engine cool until it reaches optimum operating temperature. Then the thermostat opens up and allows coolant to reach the second circuit which goes through the radiator. Forward speed of the car is usually enough for the radiator to lower the temperature of the coolant, if the car is not moving at enough speed there is a thermal switch which engages the fans to draw air through the radiator for added regulation protection. Either your thermostat is faulty and not allowing coolant to flow to the radiator circuit, or the water pump is not moving the coolant at all. The fans are not engaging because the thermal switch is not triggered. It is unlikely that your fans or thermal switch are faulty. The fact that the lower pipe is cold, makes me suspect the thermostat. This is good news. Thermostats are much cheaper and easier to replace than water pumps ($15 and one hour compared to a few hundred dollars and your weekend gone). SOLUTION: replace your thermostat as per this video, top up your coolant, then burp your cooling system. DO NOT IGNORE THIS PROBLEM!!! Do not drive your car any more! The next thing to happen is the head gasket will blow or the head will crack, because the overheated coolant cannot escape to the cooling circuit and the excess pressure will have to go somewhere. This will cost thousands if you take it to a mechanic. If this happens it may be cheaper to scrap you car.
Thanks. I kind of figured it was a thermostat. So I went ahead and ordered on from Kia. I bought one from Duracrap, and the damn thing didn't open until the water boiled. My thermostat is supposed to crack at 177 and fully opened at 203. I definitely know the dangers of driving a car that overheats. I learned that when I was about 7. My dad did that and he regretted it. But, in any case, I always start with the cheapest thing first. Thanks for the info.

I know this is an old(er) video but what is the best way to drain the coolant fluid, just remove the lowest hose and let it drain?
Wassili Productions the drain plug
Nice video - thanks.
Where the thermostat is located kia sorento 2.5 crdi 2002 years?
Awesome video.. Thank you
Thanx alot
Thanks!!
I can't take the bottom nut off of mine. There are wires and a tube (a/c?) directly in the way. What do I do. need to know ASAP. Thanks.
Same problem.. Did u ever fix it
12 mm open end box wrench

Ver todas las líneas que yeban agua
My kia 2003 keeps overheating, added 50)50 antifreeze... could be thermostat how much$
$3.00 for thermostat lol. so that's a bargain
Why do you have to drain the fluid again
So coolant doesn't spill everywhere
thank
Wow the 2003 has wayyy more room to get at that housing area. My 2005 is a tight little bitch!
