Below we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the timing chain of the Skoda Octavia 1.2 TSI. First, let's open the car's hood and start removing the screws from the timing cover; then, we raise the vehicle and remove the crankshaft pulley after taking off the right front wheel, as shown in the video.

At this point, we unscrew the bolts of the chain tensioners to loosen and remove them; we then remove the pulleys and the timing chain, replacing it with the new original one. Finally, we reassemble all the timing components.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
