Video tutorial

The video shows the complete replacement of the diesel filter (i.e., the complete bowl) located just behind the front right headlamp (passenger side): once you locate the filter housing, widen the clamps securing the hoses attached to the filter by squeezing them with pliers and sliding them forward to free the hoses; then pull the hoses off the filter fittings and unscrew the nuts securing the filter support bracket: the lowest pin only needs to be loosened without removing it; you will then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new filter; in fact, it would have been sufficient to unscrew the screws securing the filter cover (as shown at the end of the video) to replace just the cartridge.

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.
