The 6-groove serpentine pulley with a 4.5-inch outside diameter ensures proper belt alignment and power transmission. The compressor operates on a 12-volt coil voltage system and uses a lead wire connector for electrical connections. Its mounting configuration includes three tangent points with one on the rear head, providing secure installation.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your Kia Seltos or Soul model before installation. The compressor mounts using a 3 tangent point system with one on the rear head, so verify mounting points for proper fit. The included clutch assembly simplifies replacement, but mounting hardware is not included and must be sourced separately. Use the provided O-rings to maintain a proper seal and prevent refrigerant leaks. Confirm electrical connections match the lead wire connector type and 12-volt coil voltage specifications. Properly evacuate and recharge the A/C system with compatible refrigerants R134a or R1234yf after installation.
