To replace the valve guide seals (essentially oil seals), you need a suitable arch clamp to compress the valve spring, an extractor, and a pusher. Once the clamp is in place, compress the spring, separate the retaining half-shells of the caps, and remove the valve.

Use the extractor to remove the old seal, clean the seat, lubricate it with clean oil, and also lubricate the new oil seal before inserting it with the pusher until it is fully seated. Lubricate the valve before refitting it by compressing the spring and securing it with the cap and half-shells.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
