In this video tutorial, identify the cause of the malfunction of the idle actuator, which allows you to lower the idle appropriately and keep the engine at low RPMs on the first series Ford Focus with a 1.6 petrol engine. This component, located near the throttle body, is often the main reason the engine does not run smoothly; therefore, locate the replacement part in the engine bay and unscrew the fixing screws to remove and replace it. At this point, apply a light layer of sealant to the base to secure everything!

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.
