Our Kia Optima is leaking gas, now it leaks more! Repair fail/fail/win?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Another handyman special going on today. We had to park the Kia Optima because it was leaking fuel from the high pressure mechanical pump. I don’t think I’ve had such an easy repair turn into a bigger issue faster than this.... watch and see.

    When doing this be SURE to PULL FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP FIRST and start and run your car until it dies . Then try to start again , this will relieve most of the pressure and fuel from the lines.

    I just fixed mine by myself, mechanic was asking for $1,800 for parts and labor, they said my sensor wasn’t good and my fuel pump. did a diagnostic and it was just the fuel pump. went on amazon after watching a video the guy said he recommend changing the fuel hoes that was leaking in your video every time you change the pump. so i ordered both and replaced both. cost me $450 instead of 1,800. so far im good no problems.

    Suppose to change out the camshaft follower underneath they go bad overtime and if it fails your engine goes and it won't be covered under the lifetime engine warranty. Plus the metal high pressure fuel tube isn't suppose to be reused cause it can leak since it's compression fitting.

    Great reply. Ive not done this repair but i think i heard to look in the hole the pump goes into and turn the engine before installing the high presure pump because the HP fuel pump is run off a cam lobe and you want the lobe to be flat when installing not sticking straight up making you fight spring pressure as you bolt it down?

    You mentioned why some sellers charge so much for a high pressure fuel pump at around 01:53 or so, the reason is those are really expensive, a Mini Cooper unit costs over 1.2K new and unused if you buy it from the manufacturer or dealership, I had to replace mine, and Suzuki sells it for a bit over 1K USD shipped from Japan, of course I found a salvaged one from a European car that was totaled, and ended up saving a few hundred bucks. The one you got probably is either refurbished or not an original Kia/Hyundai part although most are made by Bosch in Germany.
