Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to clean the MAP sensor of a Kia Picanto: first, identify the intake manifold, where you will need to remove the electrical connector, then using a 10 mm spanner, remove the two bolts that secure the sensor and take it off easily.

You will see that it is indeed very dirty and has various residues: clean it with a can of compressed air to thoroughly remove all residues, without touching it with your hands, as this could damage it. Once cleaned, you can refit it in its place and tighten the two securing bolts again.

Then reconnect the electrical connector and the job is done.

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.
