To replace the intercooler on the Kia Sorento, loosen all the screws that secure the front bumper to its housing: these screws will be located at the top and bottom of the bumper, as well as inside the front wheel arches. Once all the screws are loosened, you can completely detach the bumper to access the intercooler underneath.

This can be disconnected from its pipes connected to the turbo and its fastening screws to the supports, allowing it to be replaced with a new spare part.
