Model: Kia Sportage MK 1, JA - Years 1993-2002
Part: Timing belt

Let's see the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the timing belt of the Kia Sportage 2.0L. First of all we open the bonnet and start disconnecting the hose of our radiator, letting the fluid drain into a container for about ten minutes; then we remove the various pipes to unscrew the screws of the timing cover, as shown in the video. At this point we remove the radiator fan; so let's unscrew the tensioner screw, removing and replacing the timing belt, following the video tutorial to the end!

How to Reset the AdBlue Warning Light on the Peugeot Expert

AdBlue is the additive used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel engines. Modern vehicles have an additional tank for this additive. The filler cap is located next to the diesel fuel cap and is usually blue. When the additive level drops below a predetermined value, a warning appears on the dashboard indicating that AdBlue needs to be topped up; otherwise, the engine will not start after a certain number of miles. Once you have topped up the additive, the warning on the instrument panel will disappear.
