Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, see how to replace the spark plugs and their respective leads on a Fiat Panda. Required materials: spark plugs with leads, original Fiat parts, a 10 mm spanner; a 16 mm spanner to unscrew the spark plugs.

The first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the appropriate prop. Next, disconnect the clips and spring, then use the 10 mm spanner to unscrew the screws.

Once the screws are removed, disconnect the airbox, then disconnect the cable; once disconnected, remove the oil vapour tube. After disconnecting, set the airbox aside.

With the airbox removed, proceed to unscrew the spark plugs, then pull off the leads, which is quite simple to do; just ensure the engine is cold, then pull to remove the leads. Remove all four leads.

Mark the position of the leads; once all the cables are removed, unscrew the spark plugs with the 16 mm spanner. Replace the spark plugs and leads.

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.
