2007 KIA CARNIVAL engine coolant

After the removal, engine coolant can be drained a little from that point(B) which is a matter of no importance.
11. Remove the timing belt auto tensioner(A).
12.Remove the timing belt(A).
Make a direction mark of revolution on the timing belt for reusal.
13. Remove the tensioner arm assembly(A) and the idler(B).

REMOVAL
a.Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
b. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below normal
temperature before removing it.
c. When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket.
d. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
a.Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
b. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at top dead center.
1. Remove the air duct and the battery(A) after disconnecting the terminals(B) from the battery.
2.Remove the engine cover.
3. Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly.
(1) Disconnect the MAF connector(A).
(2) Disconnect the breather hose(B) from air cleaner hose.
(3) Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly(C).
4.Remove the upper radiator hose(A) and lower radiator hose(B).

(7)Disconnect the bank 2 CMP sensor connector(A) and the ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor
connector(B).
(8)Disconnect the bank 2 front/rear O2 sensor connectors(A,B) and the CKP sensor connector(C).
(9)Disconnect the bank 1 CMP sensor connector(A).
7.Remove the PCV(Pulge Control Valve) hose(A).

(2)Connect the breather hose(B) from air cleaner hose.
(3) Connect the MAF connector(A).
26. Install the engine cover.
27. Refill engine coolant.
DISASSEMBLY
Identify MLA(Mechanical Lash Adjuster), valves and valve springs as they are removed so that each item can be
reinstalled in its original position.
1. Remove MLA(Mechanical Lash Adjuster)s(A).
2.Remove valves.
(1) Using SST(09222- 3K000, 09222 - 3C300), compress the valve spring and remove retainer lock.
(2)Remove the spring retainer.
(3) Remove the valve spring.
(4) Remove the valve.

5.Remove the under cover.
6.Drain the engine coolant.
7. Remove the upper radiator hose(A) and lower radiator hose(B).
8.Remove the transaxle oil cooler hoses(A/T vehicles only).
9. Remove the fuel inlet hose(A) from the delivery pipe.
10. Disconnect the engine wiring harness connectors.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :a. Adjust the shift cable.
b. Refill the engine with engine oil.
c. Refill the transaxle with fluid.
d. Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
e. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
f. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent
corrosion.
g. Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for
approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

REMOVAL
WATER PUMP
1. Drain the engine coolant.
System is under high pressure when the engine is hot. To avoid danger of releasing scalding engine coolant,
remove the cap only when the engine is cool.
2. Remove drive belt(A).
3.Remove the timing belt.
4. Remove the water pump(A) and gasket(B).
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
1.Drain the engine coolant.
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
3. Disconnect the radiator upper and lower hose(A, B).

4.Disconnect the ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor connector.
5. Remove the coolant hose related to the heater hoses and the ECT(Engine Coolant Temperature) system.
6. Remove wiring protector.
7. Remove water temperature control assembly(A) and the gaskets(B).
8.Remove the water pipe(A).
THERMOSTAT
Removal of the thermostat would have an adverse effect, causing a lowering of cooling efficiency. Do not remove
the thermostat, even if the engine tends to overheat.
1. Drain engine coolant so its level is below thermostat.
2. Remove the coolant inlet pitting(A) and the thermostat(B).
