where is the temperature sensor in a 2005 Kia Sedona? Going to attempt changing myself.
Would it ruin the engine on 2003 Kia Sedona if timing belt broke?
Once there were no timing belts, there were only internal timing metal chains and the owner would never even have to know about it. Then, external timing belts were introduced which are built of special plastics. A timing belt or timing chain allows the engines's valves to close and open at the proper time meaning they are syncronized. If such syncronization is not achieved it could happen that the piston in its upward trust could hit a valve that is open and should be closed breaking metal parts which in turn would fall into the running engine and cause havoc and destruction. Timing belts are built to last only a certain number of miles (many are built to be changed at 20000 miles). If the manufacturer's limit is surpassed, the belt may fail and break with catastrophic effects on the engine. The timing belt's life depends on the manufacturer's specifications thus the car manufacturer's manual will state the number of miles after which it needs to be changed.
Miles per gallon does a 2003 Kia Sedona get?
I get about 34 mph on my 2003 Sedonna Auto
I would like to know how is your driving habit, because 34mpg is almost impossible for a 4700lb+ van, even the latest van can't even beat 30mpg on fwy only. I got 16-18 if mostly city driving, 20-21 if mostly fwy driving.
34 is impossible for me, a trip of 300miles without AC on will get me around 21-22mpg, a city & hwy mix will get about 16-18mpg. Are you sure you get 34?
Why is the alternator light on in your 2002 Kia Sedona?
The charging system is not producing enough amps as required. Which means either the battery or alternator needs to be replaced.
The 2002 & 2003 has problem with their alternator, the pully of the alternator is too big so the rpm is not fast enough to charge the battery, especially if you drive a lot, or local street only. I think since 2004, they change to a alternator with smaller pully. If you plan to replace it yourself, make sure you search online before you start. you have to get all parts before you start, a new alternator (most likely with smaller pully), that mean you'll need a shorter belt. When i bought it, it wasn't in stock. The long bolt that hold the alternator is not easy to remove, you will need to jack up the engine to certain degree to remove the bolt, you will need to remove the radiator, hoses, clip for hoses, engine cover, engine mount. MFG will remove the AC line but I was able to remove the alternator without remove the AC line so i can save lot of money for freon. Prepare to spend a whole day or possibly 2 days or move depend how handy you are.
Possible causes of a loud knocking noise from the engine of a kia sedona 2003?
Is the oil lever OK ? Also get a compression check in each cylinder to see if one of the piston rings have worn out.

answer
2010 kia sedona can store maximum of 21.1 gallons
-------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a great answer for fuel capacity, however the question is regarding oil capacity. It's not clear what size engine you have or what year, so let's take a guess that it's a 3.8 liter engine from 2006+. It can take up to 6 quarts if you're doing a full drain and replace, including the oil filter.
From the KIA online shop manual:
OIL LUBRICANTS CAPACITIESDescription for 3.8 engine
Oil pan5.5 (5.81, 4.84)Oil filter0.4 (0.42, 0.35)Drain and refill5.2 (5.49, 4.58)Total6.4 (6.76, 5.63)
Can an automatic AE86 Corolla be changed to stick and if so how much would it cost to change it?
The conversion should be pretty simple if you are mechanically minded(even a little knowledge will do).Find a wrecker or look for an 86 that is being dismantled privately, take a camera and photograph such things as pedal positioning/mounting etc. Location of gearbox and mountings etc. Buy these parts and use your pics as reference or better yet go to Toyota and buy an ae86 repair and service manual.This reference will give you an even better understanding of how to fit thew parts for this application. Check out online auctions like EBAY for parts if you cant find what you are after.The best way to do anything is to do it yourself.If you can remove the parts yourself you'll have a better understanding of how to install them into your own car.Off the top of my head you will need:
- T50 gearbox and bellhousing
- Driveshaft from a manual version
- Clutch kit and flywheel
- Scatterplate
- Slave cylinder and possibly the speedo cable
- Clutch pedal
- Gearbox mounts. All these parts will bolt straight on.
Has this put you off, if not .
What would cause oil to be splattered under hood of a 2003 kia sedona?
blowby caused either by worn or broken piston rings and or valves May want to check for missing dipstick, oil filler cap etc.
How many gallons of gas do you have left once your Kia Sedona gas light comes on?
ussually when your gas light comes on your getting down to your last gallon of fuel
Just drop the transmission. KIA uses a special tool for installing the new seal (09231-33000). I wonder if a piece of PVC pipe, of the correct size, would work for that. The engine may need to be supported while the trans is removed. Lots of things to disconnect first; Drive axles, hoses etc.
Likely will take lots of time and patience.
What causes a woo noise under my 2004 kia sedona mid-car?
I have a 02 Sedona and I think I'm getting the same noise. It happens when you are driving and it sounds kind of like one of those slide whistles. I think it only happens when the A/C is on so that leads me to believe it is a vent or something that automatically opens and closes. Or maybe it's a ghost.
i also have an 04 sedona, and i frequently get noise which seems to come from the a/c heater motor.
I had that problem also on my 2004 Sedona EX and had it repaired at dealer. They replaced the rear AC purge/evaporator. Thank god for the warranty! They told me the noise complaints are similar to a ghost, siren, or motorcyle accellerating noise.
Where are the spark plugs located in a Kia Sedona 3.5 Liter V6 engine?
You have to remove the intake manifold to get to the 3 rear ones. Search this forum, this question has been answered at length with full description of step by step method.
Why would the heater not work in a kia?
Replace the resister, if that doesn't work replace the blower motor.
How hard is to replace spark plugs and wires on 2005 Kia Sedona?
It cost me over $450 at the dealer. This is due to the fact that they must remove the intake manifold to access the back 3 plugs.
How do you change the wiper arm for a 2005 Kia Sedona?
If it is for the rear wiper then you would pop the cap off at the base of the wiper arm. You will see a nut which should be a 13mm. Loosen the nut and pull up on the wiper arm to stand up. Do a little wiggle and it should pop up to realign the wiper arm if it is positioned too low or too high. To completely remove then just unscrew the nut and in the stand up position pull off.
The basic approach applies to the front wiper arms but looks like you would have to pop open the hood first.
Good luck.
Where is the speed sensor in 2003 Kia Sedona?
The speed sensor is located on the right side facing the driver side. It is on the transmission under the air filter and air line that leads to the intake manifold. It is on the left side of the transmission. It is not on top of the transmission but on the left side of the transmission close to the firewall. It is best to raise the car and locate it from underneath.
