How to clean the MAP sensor of the Kia Picanto.

Model: Kia Picanto MK 1, 2A - Years 2004-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to clean the MAP sensor of a Kia Picanto: first, we identify the intake manifold, where we will remove the electrical connector, then using a 10mm wrench, we remove the two bolts that secure the sensor and it comes off very easily. We can see that it is indeed very dirty and has various residues: we clean it with a can of compressed air, to carefully remove all the residues without touching it with our hands, as we could damage it. Once cleaned, we can put it back in place and tighten the two bolts again. Then we reconnect the electrical connector and the job is done.

How to Replace the Coolant in a Ford Focus

For this simple operation, you will need to lift the bonnet. Raise your vehicle on both sides and secure it on suitable stands. Remove the bolts securing the lower engine cover of your vehicle.
