Video tutorial

This video shows the replacement of the crankshaft position sensor on an Opel Astra. The operation must be performed by disconnecting the negative battery terminal using a 10 mm socket.

Obtain a new sensor as shown in the video. The vehicle must be lifted and secured on a jack; using a 14 mm socket, unscrew the first terminal of the sensor and then, with an 18 mm socket, unscrew the other end. Remove the old sensor and compare it with the new one. Proceed to install it in the same position using the same sockets and bolts as the old sensor just removed.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
