Since people are using this video ,including myself to do their timing belt,l want to note that when you read the directions included with this kit it clearly states that you release the pin,tighten tensioner snug,then turn crankshaft clockwise 2 teeth on cam gear.Loosen adjuster slightly and turn tensioner counter clockwise till pointer is between marks,tighten to spec.
Thanks for pointing out the most important stuff saved me a lot of time when I changed my son’s water pump and timing belt. Although I’ve figured out I’ll never work on another Kia again, that job sucks!!
this old tech 2.0 is rock solid and probably last forever. purchased new, I now have 140k mostly driven by my two sons in HS, college, and now lives in Chicago. 10k oil change interval with cheapest synthetic and oem filter works perfectly and no additional oil between change. everything is oem and one t-belt changed at 90k. this is a really good video showing a-z.
I just used this video to guide me through the process on my daughter’s 2011 Soul with 260000 km. This tutorial is 100% accurate, complete and comprehensive. I couldn’t have asked for more. The job went very smoothly. Thanks!!
Great video. I am so glad that I saw this video! When I aligned my tensioner on the 2001 Sonata V6 it was the same stupid thing. When I did the 2011 Kia Soul it was again the same.
I ordered the same Aisin Kit on Amazon. Everything went well, until I got to the tensioner & idler bearing. I turned the crankshaft by hand and the tensioner bearing kept slipping off center. Attempted to reinstall 5x and eventually consulted with my mechanic neighbor, as well as a reputable auto shop. They both suggested ordering another new tensioner & idler bearing, so I have a Gates unit coming tomorrow. What a PITA 🤦🏽♂️
@@who8dapple thought I was as thourough as I could be about how to load that tensioner. If it loosens up, it is probably going passed the eccentric, or the the tensioner is not getting tightened down properly for whatever reason.
Don't know if you will see this, but I'll give it a try. First, great vid! No BS, just getting it done straight forward as it should be. At the 12:32 mark while you are putting the new water pump in, there is a pulley/tensioner in the frame. It is clearly marked with a white "HCC". Can you tell me what this part is? I have the same Kia where this item is making a screeching noise when turning the wheels lock-to-lock and I would like to replace it. I verified the noise is from this item by use of Chassis Ears. Nothing else was making any unusual noises. Appreciate the help.
@@privatesender5281 try tigthening the belt a little more. The power steering has more pressure, and requires more belt force (hp), lock to lock. Should be a ps tensioner pulley.
@@RustBeltAuto Thanks for the rapid response. To ensure I do this correctly. I should first loosen the center bolt (in the subject tensioner) and then adjust the tension by tightening/loosening the adjusting bolt that is about the 8 O'clock position when viewed from the side of the vehicle followed by retightening the center bolt. Yes? BTWFWITW - I don't own this Kia, it's my new son-in-law's and he has little mechanical sense or ability and he was ready to take it to a dealer...trying to save him a bit of cash.
so ive been looking at several vids. this one is very well done. however all the vids i see assume you havent jumped any time. you're simply removing/replacing the belt. what if your cam->crank is off by a couple tooth? can you just move the cam back (or forward) by the specified amount or do you need to cycle it full round to realign the marks? p.s. great vid
@@dmccarty1006 I would drain the oil, and see if it comes out. Maybe try to fish it out if it doesn't. No guarantees in this world, but the screen in the pick up tube should not allow it to go any farther than the oil pan. It may slosh around in there, and break apart, if it doesn't sink. It should sink to the bottom, because it's heavier than oil.
My car came back noisey ( brake rotor on a grinder sound ) after timing belt change in 2019, 2024 , barey a few thousand miles on it , belt is cracking in spots and slmost halfway coming out the top sprocket. Was it over tightened?
@disgustingpharmaadvoiceact74 i try to get a kit with korean parts for these. Continental pro series plus kits seem to be the way to go now. Napa sells an Altrom line that is Korean import too.
I like to smack them rusted bolts with a hammer to break the rust free before i break them off..sometimes you have to bang the socket on cuz the heads of the bolts might peen bigger
You must have spent too much money to graduate beyond the back yard, and got a job working for imbaciles that turned your career into a crime syndicate for a paycheck, 401k, and a pension, and profit you will never see. Just a guess. Thanks for the advice.
The timing belt kit is the same for both years. Just figured they were the same procedure. There are a lot of Hyundai 's that have the same kit, and use the same engine too.
I guess i lucked out for i do not have the timing belt on my 2012 Soul but have the timing chain and double overhead cam or at least i guess i lucked out lol
@@RustBeltAuto why are they better, i dont care so much about performance I just dont want to have it blow up on me, im exactly who chains were made for the low maint guy with his car
Now one of the bolts for the water pump doesn't want to return home, it's the right bolt, sigh, this lil car I'm now calling El Bastardo, and oddly it's been so easy to take apart, not so much together lol, I'll figure it out, but yeah that lower plastic drive belt guard was just so many kinds of fun to "Squirrel" out of there as well as the Big Dumb thing, but after it get it's passport stamped a gazillion times it makes a discreet exit out by the AC compressor, which if your AC belt tensioner fell apart like mine did, there's plenty of room if it's not in the way lol, I won't lie it's been an adventure! Goofy car to work on, at least mine is. I've torn down engines and worked on transmissions no problems this things like okay you want that off fine but it's gonna cost you lol. It's coming along, and I'll get it. Thankfully it's mine and I'm in no big hurry, sort of...
@@RustBeltAuto lol no it was a statement of my adventure. I'm wondering if the water pump isn't fully seated, as you said in your video there is a bit of a lip up top the water pump has to go under so I'm hoping that's why one of the two smaller fasteners towards the firewall top bolt, won't go in. I'll find out later today. But I thank you for the reply.
@@RustBeltAuto if figured out what happened, the bracket for the alternator was removed during the removal of the water pump and the car god's frowned upon my decision lol the 4 small bolts were mixed two for the bracket and two for the water pump, as the two on the water pump are not pass through anyhow I got the big dumb water pump on and alternator bracket all good a bit of a fight there as I completely removed the alternator bracket to make more room to work and pushed the thing back, but next is that stupid timing belt tensioner/eccentric thingy lol, and all back the plastic garbage. I have a nerve disease in my feet and legs wherein I'm in pain all the time, so it's slow going but I'll save this car yet. Haven't lost one in 35 years lol. On a funny note I tried to find a repair manual on this vehicle and I called the good people at Haynes (I know) anyway the lady I spoke to said they never made one because KIA never made enough of them, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE out here in NC....anyway it will usually only go back together one way lol but I do thank you for the communication on this topic. I'm half German and Irish, and the German side (well yes Germany) came up through North Dakota and Minnesota, so I miss the humor and way with words. Thank you. If we lived close to each other we'd be friends....okay enough with the emotions lol. This is the only car I've ever worked on wherein the parts where easy to come off but hard and time consuming to put back on like this has been. Thank God after this I won't have to touch the thing until the next oil change....fingers crossed.
Now hopefully all those weird engine light codes will get away!! That’s what the Napa auto center said. Sensors & computer hood so has to be the timing belt. Oh well
Oops. Speller correct on. Sorry about that. Ok tomorrow is reverse everything I did today. At 150k is time to redo all belts. Hope this makes the P0170 & P0452 codes for away. Or go fishing in the wire harness. Oh well. Hey thanks for the Video. Appreciate that.

Doing this now on my daughters 2011 with 110k. So grateful for your video! Well done sir!
Thanks for pointing out the most important stuff saved me a lot of time when I changed my son’s water pump and timing belt. Although I’ve figured out I’ll never work on another Kia again, that job sucks!!
Thank you for all the info on how to install the belt tensioner.

Running 250k on my 2011. Ready for 3rd belt change and thinking about braving the water pump while I’m at it.
Why does my belt comes off n hits the walll I starts Deteriorating from the sides in five days, he was half gone belt

This helped a ton ! I’ll add that Removing the motor mount made it easier to bolt the water pump bolt
Setting up the timing marks scares the crap out of me. But I feel more confident now after watching your video.
Thank you.
Just a wanted to say thank you . Finished the job and everything went smooth thanks to you.
thanks for the video,,,,done my first timing belt, tensioner, and idler change and it went smooth !!!!
That's an amazing story.

Luck gets you nowhere. Good skill.
Is there any way to line up the crankshaft with the timing mark without taking the bolt out?
@@recedingtexas4635 Don't really understand the question, maybe be creative. Just don't whack any valves on the pistons with all your screwing around.

the tip of my oil dipstick broke off and is floatin around in the oil pan will this harm my engine?

So you are starting to get used to torque wrench stuff. Nice
there is marks also to align with the head (look hard you will see or just look) . You got to love back yard mechanics lol
you align that with the plane of the cylinder head or valve cover gasket area.

re-upped the video?
Yes. There were wrong things in it.
Thank you for sharing great video quick question how many hours did it take from start to finish this job?
I don't know.
Pretty big job. .. you made it look easy
I dont see that 12mm adjuster bolt on the old alternator or the new one. What am I missing?? 2010 Kia Soul 2.0L
It must have a different tensioning system somewhere.
Hi, do you recommend the thermostat be replaced as well?
You choose.
That was pretty damn good, thanks.
Part# tkk-003 when I go to order off Amazon it says it doesn't fit 2010 kia soul 2.0?? Is that just an error?
Call napa. Ask them.
I did this job 3 years ago with a Import direct timing kit.. the bearing in the water pump just went out
Yes. Chinese pump.
Where r u located men ??
Great, great job!!
Can I change my water pump without removing the timing belt cover ?
My sources say no.
Thank you!
Summer reruns 📺 😎
I had to do it. Make it more right, and a little wrong.
Great video, thanks.
You are so very welcome.
Thank you :)
Good tutorial

About to change my belt at 180,000 miles
whys it say 2010-2011? the 2011 is a little different from the 2010

I do believe 2016 has a chain.

You can get a Korean import from Napa, by asking for an Altrom.
My water pump just went out in my 2010 Kia soul an this be my first ever water pump I half to change an i pray i can do it
