Common problems with the engines of the Kia Rio MK3 version

Model: Kia Rio UB, MK 3 - Years 2011-2017
Part: Engine

In this video we see what are the common problems of the engines of the Kia Rio MK 3 version: the 1.6 engine burns oil, so it must be checked periodically to avoid serious problems; fuel economy is lower than advertised; the radiator fan motor is prone to frequent breakdowns; the starter motor tends to fail after 100,000 km; the electrical cables are covered with soy-based material, so if there is a risk of rodents around, they are prone to being chewed; wheel bearings tend to become noisy; when the CV joint is damaged it starts to make a loud ticking noise; the water pump is prone to leaks; the air conditioning compressor is prone to failures; shock absorbers easily fail.

How to Lower the Rear Seats of a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso

In this video, we see how to lower the seats of the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: the first thing to do is remove the parcel shelf and lower the load floor. Pull down the red straps that allow you to lower the two rear seats, which we cover with the expandable load floor. Now, go to the second row and take the black strap to push the first seat forward and fold it onto itself. At the back of this, there is a panel continuing from the load area. Do the same with the centre seat and then move to the other side to complete the operation with the last seat. The reverse operation is very simple to put all the seats back in place.
