Replacement of the timing belt of the Kia Sportage 2.0L.

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

In this guide, we will see the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the timing belt of the Kia Sportage 2.0L diesel. First, we open the engine hood of our car and start by disconnecting and removing the V-belt; then we remove the radiator fan by disconnecting the electrical connector, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the distribution cover and take the necessary references to remove and replace the timing belt; all that's left is to apply the reverse procedure for reassembly!

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.
