Video tutorial

The engine air filter is located at the front left of the engine bay (when viewed from the front); to replace it, simply unclip the securing hooks of the cover (one at each corner) and lift it to extract the old filter. Ensure there are no dirt residues in the container, and if present, remove them with a vacuum cleaner (avoid using compressed air, which could push dirt into the intake manifold); finally, fit the new filter and close the cover.

If the old filter is dirty with oil, this is a symptom of engine compression loss, indicating a seal issue with the piston rings.

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.
