@@themarginalmechanic5928 ahh gotcha, thanks. My car is doing the same exact thing right now and I'm getting one single error code, 420641, which says something about the parking lock being incorrectly applied. I was reading over on bimmerpost, and two other people had the same problem and their issue was also low fluid and they also had that one single code so I'm hoping my issue is just low fluid. I had to screw in that emergency neutral release lever, and get my car towed home about an hour ago. :/
I replaced the engine on a 2009 clubman. When I put start it, it idles really rough. Did you put the vvt solenoids and the vanos actuator from the original engine onto the new one?
I did not move any components like that from the old engine to the new engine. Before I purchase the replacement engine I personally witnessed it running in the smashed up car that donated it. It ran great and only had 70,000 mi on it so I wasn't going to take anything from the old engine
I was just watching this video and laughing that he kept referring to the transaxle as a transfer case. I'm sure he knows the difference but in his mind somehow they got crisscrossed.
I have a 2005 with this same CA compliant pump. The ring was a bitch to get off. I used some Blaster to loosen and clean it , then I tapped for like a half hour in each hole going counterclockwise..... I accidently bought the non CA compliant pump (has 3 connectors and a different top. do you know if I can use this ? Otherwise, I just ordered another CA compliant pump (was cheaper) that has 2 connections and fits the ring.
Given that it's a fuel pump and we're talking about electrical connectors it could be different I would strongly recommend the correct part. It doesn't have to be Kia but it should at least be the right part. Good luck
Thank you for the video - I am going to try to loosen the passenger panel to allow the flexibility without geting under the side panel. Then I'll try to get the speakers and floor piece out of the way to access the fuel filter assembly. That's the plan to avoid some of the more painful areas..
Hey there. I just saw this video. A good friend of mine has a 2006 Sedona LX that he's willing to work with me $$$ wise because I need something else for transportation. I'm bringing a good friend who's a mechanic with me to look it over this Saturday. The van has an electrical smell coming from under the hood. The van runs and drives, but doesn't overheat at all. It only gives the smell after the engine has warmed up. It has 156,000 miles on it. We're hoping it's not an expensive fix. He had the brakes and rotors done earlier this year. What do you think is causing the electrical smell?
Just removed a starter from 07 Kia Sedona and all I had to remove was the battery tray. Bolt was a straight shot,then under got the other bolt. Starter came out from the top.didnt remove the mount
Great video. I bought the haynes manual and your video included allot more insight and detail about the process. For example the trans dip stick tube, steering column, and power steering are all absent in the book. Everything else is pretty much to the tee, however your starter removal method seems easier.
5 years later and you've helped me fix my car's horrible vibrating and noise. I straight up thought it was my cv joint but it seems to have completely fixed my problem.
Sooo.... Is the drivers side actuator on the opposite side? I have a 2012 Sedona, the drivers side is going bad. Im looking for an instruction video on that... Im mechanical, but not keen to tearing apart dashes lol. But.. looks like I'm going to have to so i can make a happy wife.
If you do normal 5k oil changes I would think the car would last but if you go by the “factory” recommendations of over 10k then 😂😂😂😂. Or life time fluids 😂😂😂😂
It takes 20 minutes or less to remove the bumper, headlights and radiator core support. Gives you WAY more room to work but also more room to remove the engine.
Had no idea what that was for!! My parents van, windows are always cracked. They had me just zip tie that little latch open to eliminate that problem (no chance of a head in their windows! LOL). Good to know why that latch is there though. Thanks!
Has anybody ever changed internal bearings only? I have a constant rumble and wonder exactly how hard it would be to only change bearings that effect rumbling when car is in drive or neutral rolling. I changed both hubs and the carrier. Not sure anymore what to do other than a swap. Any hints would be appreciated.
Great video. Still not sure if i want to mess with it. The shifts are still great and no problems. Have 130k on a 2011. I have had no problems using Valvoline for my honda Odyssey or other vehicles so i agree that as long as a person gets the rated fluid to their vehicle and follow the proceedures correctly, no problems arise from it.
