Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to replace the front shock absorbers on the small Italian sports car, the Fiat 500 Abarth. First, lift the bonnet of your car and remove the clips from the plastic grille located under the wipers: this will expose the top of the shock absorber where you will apply some penetrating oil. Unscrew the top bolt with a ratchet while holding the nut underneath with a 10mm spanner.

Now lift the car and remove the wheel: remove the brake pipe clip and unscrew the suspension nut, detaching it from the brake caliper as well.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
