New Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEB...
The tensioner is a springed device that keeps the serpentine belt in your vehicle at the correct tension to keep it on the pulleys, without being so tight that it breaks. Eventually the tensioner may become worn, loose, or stuck, resulting in belts that squeak, slip, or fall off. This video shows you how to install a new TRQ tensioner pulley in your 2011-15 Kia Sorento.

Thank you, this was very detailed and gave me the confidence to perform the tensioner and belt replacement myself.

This is an amazing channel and resource. The charge light in my 2015 Sorento LX illuminates during heavy downpours. I know the belt is good, since my dealer replaced it recently, but I'm not so sure about the tensioner or alternator. I'll be testing the alternator within the next couple of days; if it passes, I'll order a new tensioner and install it myself. My car has 209K. It may be time to replace the tensioner

This is not the tensioner for a 2015 Kia sorento lx with a 2.4.

Could you write the torque values mount bolts of this tensioner ?

What is the name of the piece you remove at 0:27? I can't seem to find it anywhere
