Remove the air filter container by unhooking the front intake duct and the sleeve to which the mass air flow meter is connected. Unhook the socket connected to the mass air sensor and remove it from its sleeve; continue with the disassembly of the various intake sleeves disconnecting the existing tubes and fittings until you reach the throttle body. Therefore, wash the throttle body with a special spray, cleaning the residues of encrustation with a clean rag: if necessary, repeat the washing operation several times. Unscrew the fixing screws of the throttle body and remove it from its seat: complete the cleaning with the special spray. Reassemble everything and if the previously disassembled sleeves show any cracks, replace them with new ones.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
