Video tutorial

This video teaches you how to remove and replace the cabin heater radiator in a Fiat Panda. First, remove the gear lever gaiter, unscrew all the cross and Torx screws with the appropriate screwdriver, and pull out the plastic cover.

Next, remove the cover that surrounds the gear linkage cables, again unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. At this point, on the driver's side, you will find the heater radiator protected by a cover that needs to be removed after unscrewing the screws (don’t forget to disconnect the connector).

Also, remove the cover of the instrument cluster and the plastic protection under the steering wheel, and only now can you extract the cabin heater radiator. To replace this part, follow the same disassembly procedure in reverse.

Good luck!

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.
