- This video will show you how to replace the spark plugs in the 2014-2018 Kia Sorento with the 3.3L V6 engine. Parts were purchased from Amazon and I have provided a link to both below.

Just want to comment on how thorough you were with this video. You clearly spent time moving the camera around, getting close-up views and explaining what you were doing as you walked through it. I haven't seen any other video which tackles this type of work with the same detail. Thank you. My Sorento hit 200k the other day and I need to replace the fuel rail sensor, the camshaft position sensor - figured while I am under the manifold, I can swap the coils, plugs, gaskets at the same time. Your video helped tremendously. Thank you.
HO-LEE-SHEET. This is unbelievably complicated to just swap the danged spark plugs! Engineers just don't design for reasonable serviceability anymore. 😞
Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you. I appreciate the clear step by step tutorial. I recently found car maintenance was my responsibility . Trying to educate myself so I understand what I can do and when I need to have the work done. Also so that if I choose to have the work done what is a fair and reasonable cost. Your video boosted my confidence level on spark plug replacement. I knew nothing and now my 74 year old female brain has a clear idea of what all is involved. I have been taken advantage of in the past and videos like this help to insure that doesn't continue to happen. Thank you
Thank you that is why I do this videos because there’s quite a few dishonest mechanics out there nowadays and these vehicles just keep getting more complex.
I like the fact that you use anti seize AND dielectric grease….. not just for the next guy, but with aluminum heads(and other components) it’s very cheap insurance. Same thing for the grease, both might save you from replacing expensive parts because you can’t get them apart 👍👍👍👍
Just replaced Spark plugs on my 2016 Kia Sorento 3.3L. Thank you very much (:
Excellent video showing a little time and patience will save $$$ for DIY guys. I usually take a few pictures before removal so I make sure things go back where they belong
😂 well done glad I found this thanks again very informative
Thanks. You save me some time.
Great job. I wish I could have seen you change the PCV valve.
Amazing job! Would love to get some details on the torque wrench you are using and suitable for this work! Thanks again in advance!
Thank you, sir. Nicely done demonstration here.
Thank you for this, it helped immensely. Thank for the info bro 🙏
Excellent video and camera skills.
Superb video! Thank you very much!
Excellent video, many thanks!
That would be a great time to replace the pcv valve under the throttle body
Great job brother
Would it make sense to clean inside the intake while it's open like that?
You can wipe out any of the oil with a clean rag while it’s off.
Will this be the same procedure for a 2019 V6 Kia Sorento all-wheel drive?
Yes same procedure but the parts numbers will most likely be different.
This should be the same procedure for any of the Kia vehicle that uses this 3.3L Lambda V6 engine like the the Sedona. Same part number for the surge tank gasket.
Do you need to replace the gasket? Or thats just extra your doing?
If they are the original gaskets you will want to replace them. You can reuse them in a pinch but I don’t recommend that because they can start to leak and then you have to tear back into it.
is #4 spark plug in the back or the front (facing the car)
@@boxingking10457 it will be the middle one in the front closet to the radiator.
@BLUECOLLARGARAGE your awesome and informative bro I appreciate you
How long does this job usually take?
40 minutes.
FYI, the three holes in the back are for the power steering hose on vehicles that has hydraulic power steering. From the video it looks like the Sorento has mechanical power steering, hence the lack of the power steering reservoir and the line.
The brakes and rotors seem easy to do, but im debating on just paying someone to do the spark plugs. Maybe a local mechanic would be cheaper than the kia dealership. Still debating if i should try myself, it looks complicated. I have 155k miles and haven't changed them yet.
The first time around is nerve racking. Everything is basically plug and play, most plugs are lined right up or will not go into another one. The 14 mill bolt in the back is a pain in the ass but once you get it out, then the whole intake comes off. Just take your time, look what goes where and reverse how it came apart!
🙏
Shoot! This is lot of work to just replace spark plugs
Yeah engineers don’t make general maintenance easy anymore.
Very helpful video!
