Replacing the timing belt on a Fiat Punto. Lift the car on a column lift or jack (if necessary, remove the front wheel, and use a screwdriver to remove the right wheel arch liner).

Once these steps are completed, lift the engine bonnet, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the timing belt cover. Using a suitable spanner, loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat.

Remove the water pump (as shown in the video). After fitting the new belt, use the spanner to tension the tensioner pulley until the correct tension of the belt (previously fitted) is achieved.

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.
