Great video! I seen two others, one said pull intake manifold, the other loosen it up. I was able to follow yours and completed it with no issues. Thanks!

I am happy I could help. Share to others.

Awesome video! Hands down the best video on how to replace this starter. Removing the bracket under the starter was a game changer. The job would have taken way longer without that tidbit of information. Thank you!!

[@all-about-cars-basics]

🙏🙏 I appreciate the positive feedback.

[@colej1206]

Excellent video. Followed your advice and tied back the coolant line/throttle body with zip ties. Did the whole job in about 1.5hrs. Cranked right up!

[@all-about-cars-basics]

Excellent work.

Good video. Got it out in 15 mins

[@all-about-cars-basics]

Wow! that is excellent. That is record time lol.

[@austinfromaustin320]

Just followed ur tutorial with success, took under 3 hours. Definitely reccomend having wobble sockets on hand. Could have taken 1.5-2.5hrs (or less for a seasoned professional) with the right tools.

[@all-about-cars-basics]

I am glad that you enjoyed the video 👍

[@ernieb820]

Much better video the plate thing was very helpful. Also I would like to inform you guys to get a oem starter the replacement ones are longer and not fun. I just ordered the oem to finish the job.

[@all-about-cars-basics]

Thank you for your kind words. And yes, the plate thing solves most of the problem to access the starter.

What kind of flex sockets are you using?

[@all-about-cars-basics]

Hey Jeff. You can use any regular flex socket you can get. For my case I used a snap-on flex socket tool. All the best with your car project :)

[@kalani1987]

2013 and already needs third starter? My 2007 Rondo still going on original starter

[@all-about-cars-basics]

That is interesting. Normally for that to happen that frequent there might be low power going to the starter or a bad connection to it or there's a faulty or insufficient engine ground or the engine is starting to lock up. Those are the only possible causes as to why the starter would burn up that often. I would recommend you take it to a car electrical technician to have a look at it.

[@jasonmacjonesjones5347]

Thank you 👍

[@all-about-cars-basics]

You are welcome.

2013kia Sportage starter replacement

[@all-about-cars-basics]

The process is practically the same. Just watch through this video and you will have the required skill to take it out with ease. Good luck with the job ahead. 👍

[@matthius1382]

I search 2012 I get 2013 2019 every year but the year I need

[@all-about-cars-basics]

Sorry about that. Although 2011 to 2015 Kia Optima models have the same engine design.

[@Kmacesf]

Save your money on buying a starter! Try starting the car up in neutral. Thank me later!! Something with the security system starter reset.

[@all-about-cars-basics]

That is brilliant. Thanks for the tips!

[@jackiefluker5100]

Why are you whispering?

[@all-about-cars-basics]

Lol, I had a cold.
