The work can be divided into two stages. The first is performed in the salon.

1. We unscrew the fastenings of the front seats (three screws and one nut on each).
2. After disconnecting the plugs under them, remove the seats from the car. These points can be skipped, but it will be more convenient to work in the free space ahead.
3. Remove the steering wheel cover.
4. We deactivated the central tunnel mount under the handbrake and on the center console.

After installing the new radiator, assemble all the parts in reverse order.

How much is the radiator of the Kia Rio stove

For the original Kiya radiator (catalog number 0K30C61A10), the price is set at 5000 rubles. The cost of analogues is about two times lower. There is a fairly wide selection of manufacturers of heat exchangers for a Korean car on the market. When choosing a radiator, it is important to pay attention to its quality and remember how important this part is for the car as a whole.

Even when buying this car, one drawback was noted: the stove does not blow hot air well, or rather, it is not responsible for the supply of hot and cold air. The first attempt to fix it happened in the spring, they started without any preparation. They dismantled almost the entire facade of the hut, took out the stove, dismantled the stove, and it became clear that the scribe. The box was damaged in an accident we didn't know about. Broken shock absorber shaft. We decided to weld, since the new box did not glow in the middle of the night, and in the morning they had to assemble the car. Managed to fix it, everything worked. But after a while the axle fell off again, the box stood up firmly)

A friend found a used stove box complete with a fan box. It was also a little cracked, but this is garbage)

In total, it took 14 (!) Hours with breaks for beer =)) Really, you can keep within 4-5 hours, if only there were no strange wires inside the torpedo and beer =))).

Didn't do a photo report. I forgot my camera at home))) I will try to give at least a description of the sequence of actions.

Concentrated antifreeze - SWAG 99901089 3 * 1,5 l = 399 rubles at work at its price, retail price 235 rubles for 1,5 liters.

So for starters, we removed the terminals from the battery, but nothing would be left anywhere,

Part I - Removing the front seats.

Everything is simple here, the seat is fastened with 3 bolts and a 14 nut, first we unscrew the front bolts, and then the rear ones and disconnect the seat belt buzzer connector located under the seat.

I recommend removing the seats, but there will be wiggle room.

Then we remove the plugs on the sides under the torpedo, the left one is held on by screws, the right one is on latches.

Part III: we expose the board.

Next, we take out the radio niche for trash =)) and also unscrew the climate control unit and turn it 90 degrees and shove it into the torpedo.

Next, we remove the bar, I think it is not necessary to say how to do it.

Then we take out the button panel to the left of the steering wheel and also disconnect everything from the connectors.

Oh, the torpedo is disassembled.

Part IV: Lower the steering wheel and remove the dashboard.

Everything is simple here, we unscrew the three screws under the column cover and remove it, then we see two bolts for 12 screwed back into the dashboard, this operation is best done with an assistant, the steering wheel can fall off and you need to hold it, after you unscrew it, carefully lay it down on the floor.

Next, you can already disassemble the instrument panel, first unscrew 3 screws from the black frame, which is upside down, then unscrew 4 screws around the perimeter of the shield itself, tilt it towards you and disconnect 3 connectors.

Part V: Unscrew the board.

The torpedo is held on by 8 bolts with a head of 12 in the places indicated in the diagram

Part VI - Take out the board.

Before removing the torpedo, you still need to remove the decorative trim from the front pillars and the panel will not work.

Next, you need to disconnect all the connectors from the central wiring harness, on the left side there are 3 of them, two black and one white. On the right side there are many small connectors that are connected to the heating system, and all of them are mostly visible when the glove compartment is removed.

After disconnecting all the connectors, you need to tilt the board towards you, and then pull up to release the panel from the guide slot at the bottom.

If you have no extraneous wires under the panel and nothing prevents you from removing it, the panel is disassembled.

Part VII - work under the hood

Remove the air filter first, then remove the 4 VF housing mounting bolts, two at the front and two at the rear. We unscrew the clamp connecting the tube of the air filter housing and the throttle valve, and also disconnect the breather tube from the valve cover and remove the VF housing.

Also on the left side under the gas cable we see 2 coolant pipes that go to the stove in the hall, remove the clamps and remove them from the fittings. Coolant may leak if you do not drain it first.

Part VIII - Remove the heater housing.

To do this, we unscrew all the nuts securing the stove housing and the fan in the cabin, pull the fan housing towards ourselves and at the same time pull out the stove housing, because after releasing it is pressed against the fan housing, the stove housing, someone will have to help you push the pipes from under the hood into salon. Voila, case deleted. Remove the radiator pipes, pull out the old radiator and insert a new one.

Putting everything together in reverse order.

I immediately apologize for the non-literary explanation and grammatical errors. Good luck.

The engine cooling system of the Kia Rio car is of a liquid type with forced circulation. The main signs of its malfunction will be: unstable engine temperature during operation, its overheating or inability to warm up, a systematic decrease in the level of coolant in the expansion tank, traces of antifreeze in the radiator, increased noise. If alarming “symptoms” appear, you should contact a car service for diagnostics and repairs, since any intervention in the cooling system involves contact with antifreeze, which is extremely toxic. Careless handling can lead not only to poisoning, but also to damage to engine parts, next to which the main elements of this system are located.

Kia Rio thermostat replacement

The thermostat of the Kia Rio cooling system fails due to freezing of its valves in the closed or open position; this is evidenced by the unstable temperature regime of the engine and the flow of coolant. A faulty thermostat can lead to deformation of the cylinder head due to an increase in temperature and failure of the entire engine, so it is better not to delay the replacement - an hour in a car service can prevent serious damage and costly repairs. It is important to remember that different models of the thermostat are installed on different Kia Rio engines, and with it the rubber o-ring must also be changed.
