Dorman 615-472 lower intake manifold for the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento V6 3.5L and other vehicles distributes intake air to the engine's six ports. As a Dorman OE Solutions intake manifold, it is the OE FIX redesign of a variable intake design that fails when the pivot linkage joining its two flapper valve shafts shears from fatigue.
- Flapper valve shafts made from thicker material for improved strength
- Additional bearings support the shafts to reduce stress points
- Single-plane design with six ports and 2.3 in x 1.5 in port outlets
- Nylon construction
- Extensive failure mode analysis, redesign and testing behind the design for a long service life
Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 615-472 intake manifold
- Also called: engine intake manifold
- Fits: 2011-2013 Kia Sorento V6 3.5L and other vehicles
- Position: Lower
- Material: Nylon
- Condition: New
A leaking intake gasket, a worn spark plug or a failed ignition coil can be behind rough running and an engine warning light, just as a sheared flapper valve linkage can, so find the cause before buying.
Fits
This intake manifold fits the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento V6 3.5L, the 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe V6 3.5L and the 2014 Kia Sedona V6 3.5L, and each takes one. Its dimensions match the original manifold's.
