Video tutorial

In this video we can see the problem with a Ford C-Max where the injectors are smoking visibly with the engine bay open. Once the injectors are removed, we can see that the centering gaskets, at least for the one that was removed, were completely destroyed, and as a result the entire injector was completely covered in grime.

Obviously, the lack of the gasket allowed the smoke to pass through. It was necessary to overhaul the injectors by replacing the gaskets and consequently replacing the diesel return pipe, which was clogged, with a rather approximate repair.

Problem solved.

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.
