Video tutorial

This video highlights a common issue with the gear lever on the Dacia Sandero: the lever feels stiff and does not return to its position on its own when moved left and right. Dacia has informed us that the problem relates to the cables of the gear lever.

It is not a mechanical issue but concerns the return spring of the cables. This problem can occur and is quite common.

It can be resolved by replacing the cables; however, it does not affect the vehicle's overall functionality, which is good to know. It is merely an inconvenience, and dealerships may not always have the replacement prices available to carry out the work immediately.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
