In this tutorial, we will see how to replace the thermostat in the Volkswagen Transporter 1.9 TDI, a very simple and quick operation. First, ensure that the engine is completely cold for safety, then open the bonnet, locate the thermostat housing pipe and disconnect it to allow all the coolant in the system to drain out. Next, unscrew the two securing bolts with a 10mm spanner, remove the old thermostat, and insert the replacement along with a new gasket.

At this point, all that remains is to reassemble everything and add the necessary amount of coolant to reach the ideal level.

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.
