Video tutorial

This video provides useful information about the timing belt on the Ford Transit MK VIII, which, unlike previous models, does not have a metal chain but an oil-bath timing belt, as used in more recent models. The belt should be changed at 124,000 miles or eight years (remember to always observe the condition that occurs first), and it is very important to keep these deadlines in mind to avoid more serious problems resulting from a broken belt.

When changing the belt, also replace the tensioner and the timing cover, which includes the oil seal.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
