The best ever video on V6 3.3 sorento spark plugs replacement, I watched it 2 times to get familiar with and I'm ready to replace my spark plugs on my sta fe xl 3.3 V6. Maraming salamat Bai and more power to your channel.
To the point and no pointless explanations. My kind of instructional video! I'm reconsidering paying the shop $600 for this monstrosity of a job. Thank you!
Great video, it is the same as in my 2013 Santa Fe 3.3 V6. Only addition- change the PCV valve at the same time. An OEM PCV is only 10-12 dollars. It is located behind and to the right of the last spark plug near the firewall and is EASY to get at once you have cleared everything away to get at those back plugs!
Great video! Exactly what I needed showing all the work start to finish and part numbers. These can be intimidating for the weekend wrencher but this. Keep them coming!
thank u so much man. this is the vid to follow. i have a 14 santa fe gls and it was exactly the same. FYI: google search says spark gap is 0.044, however the ones I pulled out were 0.041 and the new NGK ones were pre-gapped to 0.041 as well.
Thanks for the video. I lost track of what was being removed about 3 minutes in. Of all things this I’ll end having to pay to have done. Thanks for keeping me from getting over my head.
Well done sir. This is why I paid my mechanic to do this work. Didn't want to get stuck. I admire your work entirely. Now...my 4 cylinder Camry? That I'll do...it's kind of like the final 3 plugs you replaced. 🤓
I have a 2015 kia sorento. bought it a year ago it needed spark plugs change. It was a challenge to replace them so watching your video i was able to change them. I'm pretty good in car mechanics thank you for your video that was awesome.. just save about 300 dollars. Thanks again.
That what I call real useful video tutorials, not like the other ones, like or allredy replace the spark and deside to make a video or with the shake hand and one wranch teaching other one. But this video is super.
Excellent video I would like to see a complete flush and fill of the cooling system on this same model it would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
The two “sensors” or electric part on the top left side of the valve covers (in the wing washer/ butterfly washer) vat solenoids? Mine leak oil and are full of oil… I took the “butterfly” washer off and it seems I need to take the valve cover off entirely to get the solenoid replaced…
The last shop that took apart my manifold on my car didn't put that hidden 14mm bolt back. Do you know the replacement part number or what it's called?
Wow, I wouldn't dare to do it myself. I guess it will be helpful if you list some other works to go at the same time with spark plug replacement, may be such as Ignition coils.
Hands down the best car maintenance video I've seen so far. Def sub. Question, I'm at 62k with the same vehicle - do you think it's overdue for a change?
Hello and thanks for the sub. the book recommend spark plugs replacement at 60k, few days ago I had vehicle with 66k miles in it and experienced engine misfires, during my diagnosis I notice few spark plugs porcelain has cracked in it causing a misfires, customers decided to drive the vehicle for few weeks before she decided to get look at, I replaced a set of spark plugs and fixed the misfires but it’s too late to save catalyst converter. and yes you are overdue at 62k, to avoid other components failure I strongly suggest to follow factory maintenance recommendations.
Will you able to do on replacing the high pressure fuel pump and cam follower? Pand the PCV valve as well I think this is one of other issue on Kia Sorento.Thanks for this video save me a lot of money!
At 15:30 the bottom left push on grommet for the plastic cover. Whats the part directly above it thats shaped like a diamond with 2 bolts. Silver on the outside and has the black circle in the middle. Mine looks to be leaking oil and was wondering what part that is but i cant find anything online. I would appreciate an answer
That part called OCV oil control valve, I’m not 100% sure but I think the diamond shape with 2 bolt can buy separately, I’ll ask my part guy on Monday then I’ll get back to you. Thanks for watching.
Is the part you removed with the red towel at around the 5:18 mark the intake valves? (Or just the valves) whatever the case, the things that get carbon buildup due to it being a gdi engine, I've been wanting to clean out that carbon buildup since I've got a 2019 with this same engine at 91k miles right now
yes, those are intake valve, cleaning them individually something I don’t recommend for DIY, BG product offers induction valve service, kinda pricey but worth it.
This video also worked for my 2016 Kia Sedona LX, with the exception that there are two more 10mm bolts holding up a big hose on the back of the big black box that mounts on the air intake. Those both need to come off otherwise you cannot move this black box aside. I am in the middle of this repair as we speak, I bought new coil packs but I'm unsure if it makes sense to put them in. I didn't have any misfires and I think the coil packs are still okay but I'm considering replacing them to prevent having to go through all this labor again. My Sedona has 100,000 miles on it, what do you guys think?
you got 100k miles in it and if you have the coil I suggest to replace them, I have another video showing a helpful trick of how to installed those two 10mm bolts on the back of intake manifold. please check it out ua-cam.com/video/FKYDFZXXdTw/v-deo.html
@@WrenchingRyan Thanks, I got it all put back together. I sure wish I would have watched your other video first, but ultimately it all worked out. I looked at the intake valves while I had to cover off and saw that they had lots of buildup. I kind of wish I would have sprayed the intake valve cleaner through the system before replacing the spark plugs. Now I'm a bit worried that if I spray the intake cleaner all of this crud will fall off, potentially scrape up the cylinder walls and perhaps even damage the new spark plugs.
Thanks for the video and I just subscribed! I am planning to do this job soon but was wondering if you, as a technician working on Kias, would recommend replacing the oil pressure switch at the same time? I have a 2015 Sedona with the 3.3 motor with 110k miles and read that these switches can be a problem. AM I OK if I have reached 110K miles with no oil pressure switch problems (seems they typically fail between 60k to 90k from what I have read) or is it still a good idea to change it since I will already be taking apart much of the top end that needs to be removed to access the switch? Sorry for the long comment, but I would really appreciate your expert opinion.
Thank you for supporting my channel. Is your oil pressure switch leaking oil? Replacing oil pressure switch is not something I recommend for few reasons, first reason will be removing fuel rail those injector seals are one time used only replacing them required special service tool, in this video ua-cam.com/video/5VH-5AMOKok/v-deo.html at 3:57 I rebuild fuel rail in Timelapse mode but you will get idea what I’m talking about, 2nd will be the coolant pipe is in the way regular socket is impossible to fit. I actually modified one of my socket to make it work, I’ve been wrenching at Kia for quite a while now and had switch issue only twice, if your oil pressure switch not leaking at 110 k miles leave it alone that switch is doing good. Good luck wrenching.
@@WrenchingRyan Thank you so much for this reply. I know you cannot guarantee anything because no one can, but it helps to hear that this pressure switch issue is maybe not as common as some on the forums might suggest. Not attacking any of them because I understand that if you have the issue it is a big deal for you, but my switch is not leaking and I am not losing any oil nor can I identify any oil leak anywhere. It helps to hear from someone who works on a lot of these motors that if I have made it this many miles - the switch is not necessarily a problem more than anything else once a vehicle starts to get older and with higher miles. Also, needing to remove the fuel rails and replace all of the seals and struggle with even being able to reach the switch itself seems like something to leave alone unless a problem actually occurs. Again, thanks for being willing to share your expertise to help others.
Push pin pliers, designed to remove push pin clip, I did some modifications for connector usage, I don’t see this kind of pliers anymore, some manufacturers made different styles but same usage.
I'm really not automotively inclined and I do have a 2016 Kia Sorento EX AWD V6. I had brought the vehicle in last week Wednesday, actually for major OIL LEAKS. I guess they're gonna have my vehicle for another 2 weeks, or so and they did suggested replacing these spark plugs for like $400 something, since the the majority of this area will be broken down....otherwise, the regular price was 5-600. My power-train warranty kicked in and Kia gave me a loaner for 3 weeks in addition to footing most of the bill. I really regret buying this car and all the horror stories I've read online about their engines breaking down. To think, I've really only driven 38k miles, since purchasing said vehicle in 2017 and yes I did buy it as a USED CPO with 19k miles on it. I think I've learned my lesson and I will NEVER purchase another KIA again, regardless of their great warranties, considering you're in their service garages more than you would like to be.
I’m sorry to hear that, Kia warranties are great the only issue here is the process is taking way too long, I had one sorento earlier this year and sat in my hoist for like months before Kia turned their green light on. Customer got a brand new engine with no cost plus they pay the rental bill.
I have a code p200a kia sorento 2012 v6 I check the vcm and it works properly as well I checked the manifold flaps and they're working correctly Any tips ?
There is PCM upgrade for code p200a on 2011~12 sorento if PCM upgrade didn’t fix it worst case scenario is VCMA assembly and intake manifold assembly need to be replace. Good luck.
So how long timewise with an experienced & or veteran type technician, whether at a Hyundai or Kia dealership etc. to replace all 6 sparkplugs for the 3.3L,?
Patience is a trick lol, hydraulic power steering are bit challenging, I used long flexible 1/4 ratchet and 10mm magnetic socket and mirror. With these tools removing those bolts is possible. Good luck 👍
Holy crap! This is not what I was expecting haha! The last two cars I had, it did not require this much so...might just take it in and have the car guys do it. Engine misfire so hopefully this will fix it.
This video shows everything you need to get the job done but if you’re not comfortable doing it it’s always a good idea to take it in. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@TFSGEO well, it was a bad engine. And nobody takes kia's where I live because kia is a trash car and they are an awful company. So we sold it for 3k because the cheapest fix was 11k for a new engine.

@Untouchable771 there is two rails one in front of the motor the coil packs are in plain site the other rail (3 plugs) are under all the smog equipment on top of the motor.
Hello, I didn’t replace any coil, I replaced 6 spark plugs, same process when you wish to replace ignition coil. Thanks for watching. Please don’t forget to subscribe.
No worries, maybe I can use some Seafoam, pour it in my oil pan to get it try and clean the values before I replace them completely. My car idles rough when in drive at stop lights, stop signs, etc. It's fine when it is on park

@@teddygelafeir1498 yeah it is expensive but it’s a lot cheaper when you buy your own parts and follow steps on my video. If I can do it you can do it too. Good luck.
Great video best I've seen for that engine... just curious how much in parts...have been quoted $850.00 for this same service at dealership.Also would you recommend replacing coils also have 85000 miles on odometer...
@@WrenchingRyan I was wondering the same thing? where are the other 3 spark plugs at? Also what tool was that, that you used @ 4:05 ? i would love to pick one of those up. Great video!
@@WrenchingRyan thanks man hey I need help with my 2016 Sorento is there a way to contact you. I don’t have much but I’m willing to pay for your help and instructions. I’ve replaced spark plugs and the car still won’t start please let me know.
This is really important to me as it’s my responsibility to fix my mothers car and she has a job she has to get to and she won’t be able to without her vehicle maybe I can contact u by email or something but I appreciate it
@@WrenchingRyan I believe it’s the wiring in the engine because there is oil all over the wires and the issue is it will crank but no start up and I actually think it’s starting to not crank. Which is why I believe it to be the wiring now I also called the dealership they say it sounds like an electrical issue
My bad, I’ve done a lot of this and I’m comfortable enough not using a torque wrench, but your correct I should torque them to spec. Thanks for watching.
I was impressed with some and disappointed in others. NO TORQUE SPECS??? The plugs, the intake bolts the throttle body bolts. Your video is very misleading. You left out a lot of things. Some chowda head is gonna watch this and fuck their engine up, cracked intake possible, stripped plugs possible. Throttle body air leak. Possible .
I understand some disappointed specially the NO TORQUE SPECS showing in this video. I decided to film another one showing every single thing you need to get the job done right. It’s on 2019 Sorento, please check it out. ua-cam.com/video/CCe-ltGQJQg/v-deo.html

1 more question torque specs for throttle body? And surge tank?

And i thought changing spark plugs on an rb26 is a pain in the arse. Is it the same procidure as in the 3.8l of the telluride?
for the most part yes.
How many miles do you recommend changing out the spark plugs and is the brand Denso or NGK on the OEM?
NGK and Denso are both good 👍. I personally recommend to replace them at 60k miles. Thank you for watching.
@@WrenchingRyan if you put iridium spark plug you can go way more miles.
Holy crap! This is not what I was expecting haha! The last two cars I had, it did not require this much so...might just take it in and have the car guys do it. Engine misfire so hopefully this will fix it.
This video shows everything you need to get the job done but if you’re not comfortable doing it it’s always a good idea to take it in. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Well, did it fix your misfire?
@@TFSGEO well, it was a bad engine. And nobody takes kia's where I live because kia is a trash car and they are an awful company. So we sold it for 3k because the cheapest fix was 11k for a new engine.
What is the torque and pattern for the intake manifold? Im looking to do this on the wifes car but i can't seem to find the proper torque and pattern.
I’m away from my computer right now, I’ll get back to you tonight. Thanks for watching.
@@WrenchingRyan Just checking to see if you have the torque specs and pattern.

what are that specialty tool you used to remove the connector plug?
Push pin pliers that I modified, I got it long time ago and I don’t see them anymore, this is the close one I see from Amazon.
ABN push pin pliers
Where did you get your specialty tool and look and can’t find it
That is a push pin pliers that i modified, I don’t see them anymore but this pliers is way better check it out. www.amazon.com/ARES-10071-30-Degree-Removal-Pliers/dp/B09QNGVW9B/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=21N2OXKV5CPV9&keywords=push+pin+pliers&qid=1698932894&sprefix=push+pin+%2Caps%2C283&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
Don’t forget to grind both end of the pliers so you don’t damage connectors.
Why didn't you replace the spark plug boot while you was there?
I can only replace what customer approved. thanks for watching
Do you happen to know if this would be the same as on a 2017 Sedona?
The only difference is Sedona still equipped with hydraulic power steering but the process is similar. Thanks for watching.
@@WrenchingRyan Used this video a couple of days ago to do the plugs on my Sedona. Very helpful! thanks alot
@@twowheels4041 I’m glad.
How many spark plugs are in 2015 Kia Sorento LX 6V 3.3L AWD
6 spark plugs total. Thanks for watching.
with the amount of work to get to 3 spark plugs you should just do coil packs and pcv valve
Good point, but customer only approved spark plugs. Thanks for watching!
Same part numbers for 2016 kia sedona?
Hello, I talked to my parts guy earlier to double check my self and yes sorento and Sedona have 3.3l in it.
maybe dumb question but the title says v6 so why only 3 plugs to replace?
I did replace 6 spark plugs. Thanks for watching
@Untouchable771 there is two rails one in front of the motor the coil packs are in plain site the other rail (3 plugs) are under all the smog equipment on top of the motor.
what number of coil replacement?
Hello, I didn’t replace any coil, I replaced 6 spark plugs, same process when you wish to replace ignition coil. Thanks for watching. Please don’t forget to subscribe.
I wouldn’t own a vehicle like this if you got to go through all that to change the spark plugs 🤣🤣🤣
Its almost the same procedure to change them plugs on a 2014 chrysler town and country with 3.6. I change them myself.
Link to the connector pliers?
It's actually Lisle push pin pliers, I grind both side to make it work for connector.
How can I get to the vvt solenoid? I'm having trouble locating it
@ 2:31 I removed the CVVT Oil Control Valve or OCV, is that the solenoid you looking for? To service this solenoid, valve cover removal is required.
The car has a intake one and exhaust one. @ 2:31 I only see you u hook wire harnesses
@@FarringtonMuzik oh yeah I’m sorry what I meant is I disconnect the Ocv connector, I didn’t removed the OCV.
No worries, maybe I can use some Seafoam, pour it in my oil pan to get it try and clean the values before I replace them completely. My car idles rough when in drive at stop lights, stop signs, etc. It's fine when it is on park
Did you replace only 4 plugs?
I replaced 6 spark plugs. Thanks for watching.
How many miles should u replace them and how much for labors and parts?
Hello, spark plugs service in this car is 60k miles, parts and labor may vary depending on your location, approximately around 400 to 600 dollars parts and labor. Thanks for watching and please don’t forget to subscribe.
@@WrenchingRyan Thank you. Expensive, but i don't think i can do it myself.
@@teddygelafeir1498 yeah it is expensive but it’s a lot cheaper when you buy your own parts and follow steps on my video. If I can do it you can do it too. Good luck.
Great video best I've seen for that engine... just curious how much in parts...have been quoted $850.00 for this same service at dealership.Also would you recommend replacing coils also have 85000 miles on odometer...
I feel like I missed something... was this a 4 cylinder?? He only changed 3 spark plugs. Can someone answer this?
This is 6 cylinder engine and I replaced all 6 plugs.
@@WrenchingRyan I was wondering the same thing? where are the other 3 spark plugs at? Also what tool was that, that you used @ 4:05 ? i would love to pick one of those up. Great video!
I only counted 3 plugs. Don’t know why this is not explained?
What do you charge for this service since it only took less than 18 minutes to do it? :)
took only 18 minutes with proper tool and good editing skills.. Thanks for watching.
So, Now I know why KIA wants $855 to install new plugs!!
car maintenance nowadays is so much expensive. Thanks for watching
What size are the bolts
Bolts size are 10,12 and 14 mm
@@WrenchingRyan thanks man hey I need help with my 2016 Sorento is there a way to contact you. I don’t have much but I’m willing to pay for your help and instructions. I’ve replaced spark plugs and the car still won’t start please let me know.
This is really important to me as it’s my responsibility to fix my mothers car and she has a job she has to get to and she won’t be able to without her vehicle maybe I can contact u by email or something but I appreciate it
@@realmike9316 what do you mean by car still won’t start? Is it engine crank no start conditions or engine no crank no start conditions?
@@WrenchingRyan I believe it’s the wiring in the engine because there is oil all over the wires and the issue is it will crank but no start up and I actually think it’s starting to not crank. Which is why I believe it to be the wiring now I also called the dealership they say it sounds like an electrical issue
Hurts my heart that you didn't use a torque wrench on the spark plugs.
My bad, I’ve done a lot of this and I’m comfortable enough not using a torque wrench, but your correct I should torque them to spec. Thanks for watching.
Wtf…all this to replace plugs. Man do I miss my 58 Chevy Impala!
I know right… cars nowadays are getting hard to work on.
They keep deleting my post.
Thats alot of bs just to check some spark plugs wish my tahoe wouldnt of broke down
Yeah, too much thing to do just to replace spark plugs. 4 cylinder engine aren’t that bad. Thanks for watching.
I'll just trade my sorento
You care too much for those bungee chords, probably you haven't been hit by one of those after they suddenly snap out of nowhere. Lol
I know their limits, and yes I haven’t been hit by one. 🤞🏽Thanks for watching.
Damm all this just to reach the last 3😯🤷
yeah. it does look to much but when you’re in it, it’s not too bad. Thanks for watching.
Lol, runs eng without the oil cap on
😂
Yo that pays 3.6 I did it in 15 minutes today lol 😆 omg
Gravy
15 minutes wow… that’s for the record. thanks for watching.
Bad design Hyundi.
Pain in the as...
I was impressed with some and disappointed in others. NO TORQUE SPECS??? The plugs, the intake bolts the throttle body bolts. Your video is very misleading. You left out a lot of things. Some chowda head is gonna watch this and fuck their engine up, cracked intake possible, stripped plugs possible. Throttle body air leak. Possible .
I understand some disappointed specially the NO TORQUE SPECS showing in this video. I decided to film another one showing every single thing you need to get the job done right. It’s on 2019 Sorento, please check it out. ua-cam.com/video/CCe-ltGQJQg/v-deo.html
