Water pump assembly and power steerin pump brackets

Go back to the STORE, they ship Cores every 2-3 Days.... They have the box marked and they can get it back for you...

air pocket in block find heater hose take off either end pour antifreeze in radiator until runs out of hose or block with motor not running then put hose back on

Instructions

• Raise the hood of the KIA and locate the battery. Disconnect the positive and negative cables.
• 2Drain all of the coolant from the radiator and engine assembly. If you do not do this it will result in a large mess when you disconnect the hoses and the pump.
  
• 3
  
• Use a screwdriver to remove the mounting screws from the lower splash shield. Remove the shield from the vehicle. Disconnect both the air duct and fan by removing the screws which hold them in place.
  
• 4Use a socket wrench to remove the tension bolt which is fixed to the alternator. This is the bolt that attaches the alternator to its bracket. Once the bracket is disconnect you will be able to slide the belt off the alternator. Remove the mounting bolt on the bottom of the alternator. Lift the alternator clear of the assembly. If you are struggling to move it on your own, have help on hand to aid in the lifting process.
  
• 5Remove the coolant reservoir and radiator hoses from the engine assembly. On most Sportage models the coolant reservoir will have no mounting bolts and can be removed manually. You should be able to simply remove the hoses from the vehicle by pulling them with your hand.
  
• 6Use a wrench to remove the tensioner bolts which fix the water pump in place. Lift the damaged pump out of the KIA.
  
• 7Insert the new pump in the same place from which you removed the old one. Remove the old gasket and replace it with a new one at the contact point of the water pump. Fix the new part in place with the mounting bolts to a torque of 19 lbs. Place the reservoir coolant and radiator hoses back into the engine assembly by pressing them in to their connectors.
  
• 8Attach the alternator to its bracket by fixing the mounting bolts in to the bottom. Attach the belt to the alternator and fix it in place with the tension bolt. Place the splash shield back on the vehicle and insert the coolant back in to the radiator. Reattach the battery terminals and turn on the engine to check that the water pump is now working correctly. Keep an eye out for leaks.
  

I also need help knowing how to replace the belt tensioner pulley. It looks like you can't get out the bolt because the pulley is real close to the frame, unless the bolt has nuts on both ends, but it doesn't look like it.

Hi

the battery is weak although it may have power to turn the engine over it is not enough to make it start, it will need changing. the other fault is common with loosing revs while turning full lock. this is often a loose power steering belt or power steering rack or pump starting to fail. to be honest though they seem to last forever like this and there are a number of wheel related faults such as bottom suspension arms, ball joints and bushes that can also make the car do this as the steering is extended beyond where it's maximum capacity is.

Hope this helps

Water Pump - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CAUTION When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.

Hi:
If you have power steering, first check to see if you have fluid in the power steering reservoir. If you don't have power steering, you most likely have binding in the rack and pinion unit, and that has to be replaced as an assembly, and is a bit pricey, so check your fluid first.

If the fluid is full the power steering pump could be bad, but usually they growl, and are noticeable.

Hello
To replace water pump : Raise the car
1- Drain cooling system. 2- Remove drive belt tensioner clip (if there is one) 3- Remove accessory drivebelt * Rotate the belt tensioner counter clock wise , 3/8 inch square drive bar should do it
* Remove accessory drive belt
4- Lower the car 5- Remove the upper shield. 6- Remove the throttle body. 7- Detch the coolant hose from housing assembly. 8- Remove the upper radiator mounting bracket 9- Detach the hose assembly from the water pump and lower hose. 10- Remove the hose assembly * Detach the hose clips
11- Remove intake manifold support bracket * Detach wiring harness
* Remove intake manifold support bracket
12- Detach coolant hose from water pump 13- Remove coolant hose from the water pump to lower housing. 14- Remove water pump
Installation :
in reverse order and make sure to use new gaskets and seals

To access and remove the waterpump, the powersteer bracket has to be removed completely. To do this, the rear camshaft drive pulley must be removed (need a tool to hold pulley, bolt tight) and then the thin sheetmetal shield behind the pulley. This allows access to the lower powersteer bracket bolts.
Removal of the engine mount is also required to perform timing belt replacement. It also helps to increase your access room too.
I would recommend you replace the waterpump why you are there as they have a tendancy to fail at around 140000 km's.

1. Remove coolant
2. loosen off alternator belt tension
3. loosen off power steering pump tension if applicable
4. Same with AC if needed
   
5. remove fan hub bolts
6. remove belts shared by water pump pulley
   
7. remove hoses from water pump
8. remove heater core hose from water pump
9. remove alternator support bracket bolt thru water pump housing
10. remove power steering bracket support bolt if applicable
11. remove AC bracket support bolts if applicable.
12. Now remove water pump housing to block bolts(remember sequence)
13. using a pry bar or large screw driver, gently pry the water pump until it releases from the block
14. clean all old gasket material from connecting surfaces
15. Place new gasket in place with a little bit of spray tack
16. then re-install water pump and install bolts as they came out(some are longer than others)
17. Re-assemble all parts in reverse order of removal
18. fill system with new coolant
19. start vehicle and test for leaks before driving anywhere(make sure you have a drop pan under the vehicle
20. Let the vehicle come up to operating temperature,,do final check for leaks with Radiator cap on
    
21. If you have access to a cooling system pressure pump and tester, it would be easier to use this tool to test system.
22. Road test vehicle, add fluid if necessary, enjoy driving.!!
