Kia Picanto - Video tutorial

Model: Kia Picanto MK 2, TA - Years 2011-2018
Part: Timing belt
Operation: When to replace the timing chain of the Kia Picanto?

The timing chain is an essential element of the engine unit. In fact, in the same way as the timing belt, it has the task of phasing both the movement of the valves inside the cylinder head and of the crankshaft, thus ensuring correct operation. It is very important to know how it works and when it needs to be replaced, especially in the case of used cars. Accidental breakage caused by various factors can cause serious damage to the entire propulsion system, creating considerable problems also in terms of repair cost. On this car model, the replacement must be carried out every 120,000 km or 5 years.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
