Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to clean the throttle body of a Fiat Punto 188: we will need a specific cleaner, which we can find for example on Amazon with the code B01MSW4I21 at the price of 20.28 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. We give it a good spray inside and let it sit for a while, then we do the same thing but with the engine running, revving the engine so that the car does not stall, and continuing to spray so that it can clean itself better.

After giving it a good amount of revs, we see that the valve throttle has returned shiny, and we have eliminated the deposits that were previously there. On this car it is possible to open and close the throttle body directly from the engine.

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.
