★ Top Answer
In a 2008 Kia Sorento, you can find the thermostat where the radiator hose connects to the engine. This important part controls how coolant flows through the engine. If the thermostat gets stuck open, you may notice a drop in performance and fuel efficiency. On the other hand, if it gets stuck closed, it's crucial to stop driving right away to avoid overheating and causing costly damage to the engine. Signs that the thermostat is failing include odd temperature fluctuations, coolant leaks, overheating, high or low temperature readings, and an engine that doesn't warm up properly. Replacing the thermostat in a 2008 Sorento usually costs between $250 and $280, with labor making up $100 to $130 of that amount. If you're handy and willing to do the work yourself, you could save some money on the repair.
