If you need to replace the coolant expansion tank, make sure to proceed only after the engine has completely cooled down. Start by draining the coolant through the designated drain plug located under the radiator.

Once all the coolant has been drained, proceed to remove the tank located at the rear of the engine bay, centrally positioned, just below the windscreen: essentially, disconnect the various hoses and finally remove the fixing screws of the tank itself.

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.
