Heat collectors are pipes that connect the exhaust on both sides. Their function is to heat the intake manifold under the carburettor, facilitating the vaporisation of the fuel.

It is very important that these components function correctly to ensure that the engine does not have issues on colder days or that could lead to ice formation. Replacing the collectors is not a complicated task and can be done by yourself.

The manifold is connected to the exhaust using clamps and bolts. By loosening all the screws that secure the exhaust to the car's body, you can slide it off the manifold without having to completely disassemble it.

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.
