Been doing this 20 years this was my last one ever!!! No more Kia
Thanks pal, I was having some serious issues removing the alternator fron the 2014 model! Your video shed some light to get this job done. o7
Just remove the ac compressor. And that's it . bring it from the bottom. THEN recharge the ac compressor . 30th minuets.
I just finished doing this job thanks to this and I quote"sweet video"
Thanks bud!
Thanks brother always like seeing someone else run through a job and make the mistakes so I don't have to. Great video
First, thank you for posting the six cyclinder! Yet, you said it took three hours? You have only 12 minutes of video. I need to see more of your failures and struggles in order to complete the job. I'm currently in a rain delay as I have to work on my cars in the driveway, and I'm about to loosen front items. I pondered about your time frame, and now am thinking this is going to be hell to put back in.
I loved your positive enthusiasm! I need to see your cussing and cursing tools, removal, and installation moments!
The right way to do it is drop it out the bottom , much easier if you have a lift .good job getting it done from the ground
Thank you so much this saved my ass, the truck blew up and the cars alternator went out so i needed to fix it and I didnt have the money for a tech.
Let's all agree to never buy Kia ever again
Another way you can remove Alternator is to remove AC compressor. Comes right out the passengers side wheel well. You have to discharge AC,but save a lot of time.
wow! its a fn alternator, not a motor job! great job kia, and to top it off they put a ford commercial in the middle….more garbage engineering!!…i will stick to Jeep .thx!!!..id like to find that engineer and give him a good beating!, especially around the eyes! FFS!
thanks from canada. it is -18 C at the moment and I don't know where my alternator is on this … now I do! also now know it's not something I'm going to be able to do myself. yikes.
Pull the engine, its easier.LOL
Hats off to you sir! You must’ve sold your soul to the devil to get that thing out with that much ease lol great video, I cussed for hours trying to get it out but never would’ve without your advice. I’ve changed many but this one was a pain.
You are my hero lol I knew it was going to be a pain with how little work space there is, my dads sorentos alternator just went out and love your video, I recently bought all the same tools as well lol Home Depot has great deals on Milwaukee for July4th and father day lol
Thanks for taking the time… this is quite the job
