Today we will explain how to independently replace the timing belt of the Citroen C4. To replace the belt on a 1.6 HDI engine, we need to open the front hood and lift the front of the vehicle, then remove the right front wheel along with the splash guard and the upper and lower covers of the timing belt.

We remove the air duct and the air filter box. We lock the crankshaft and the timing to loosen the marks on the pulleys; we loosen the tensioner and dismantle the worn belt.

We insert the timing belt and tighten the tensioner and the pulley, install the water pump, and unlock the crankshaft. We reassemble the air filter box and the duct to close the front hood.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
