2015 Kia K900 V6SECTION Installation

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Perform the following:

  • Adjust a shift cable.
  • Refill engine with engine oil.
  • Refill a transaxle with fluid.
  • Refill power steering fluid.
  • Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.
  • 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.
  • Place a heater control knob on "HOT" position.
  • Bleed air from the cooling system.
    • Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
    • Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
    • Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
  • Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
