Can I just replace part? I mean, do I need to do with something software or just replace like any other part?
Just replace mate no programming etc require
These burn oil because of the valve stem guides are worn making the valve stem seals leak very common
👍
Hi I need help finding the brake light fuse do you know the location can’t find anywhere for it to tell me
As I no longer has the manual for my car
Sorry I don’t know
Nice instructive video this, well done! Just at the stage on my own Rio where the timing chain cover needs removing, but it seems mine is a lot more stubborn than in your case. Where do you recommend as a safe place to pry the cover off? I can't see anywhere that would suggest so without bending the cover itself
Appreciate that buddy, most use a thin piece of wood against the cam pulley and then pry. Doesn’t damage the pulley then
Cheers fella got it reset
Awesome 🙌
@ had one through the shop today, never worked on a Kia as in a pegeout specialist, so useful to know thank you
@harrygardiner568 same as Hyundais mate and then the newer models are through the stereo for future reference 👌
the carbon comes from bad injector seals combustion leaking into cam shaft area then the carbon finds its way back down to the sump where its picked up from the oil strainer. Pull injectors and clean and fit upgraded seals. No point changing strainer without rectifying the reason its blocked
It’s called injector blow back, and don’t worry all problems was rectified
@@owensautotips Good job and good video
What engine is it? My 1.2 does NOT have a fuel filter
@@alexanderwhite7109 petrols have a filter by the tank
sorry, but a useless video
Helped a few people as you can see, but I can see your useless and a waste of spunk. Grow up and stop liking your own comments 💀
Where is the G-sensor located in this model? According to the information, it should also be there. Is that possible?
Not sure on that one, haven’t replaced one yet mate
Wouldn’t a ball joint splitter work on the lower arm ball joint for those who don’t have the fancy blue piece of kit?
Yes they would work, we don’t use them especially if you are refitting the arm as it can damage the ball joint dust cover
Cheers. Good video though
Great video. I respect the skills guys like yourself have. 👌 Approximately, how long does this job take?
Appreciate that buddy, after doing a few and doing them correctly a couple of hours
How much does it cost i jave a same problem on my Ioniq
You would have to contact your local garage as prices vary
left car with mechanic 3 weeks ago------only this week he told my daughter that all 4 injectors where faulty and he had got them refurbished at a cost of £650 plus vat which floored her-engine management light on and car missing thats why she took it to him in first place--i have watched ur video here-hes now saying he cant get the injectors programmed in- scanner wont accept the codes-so he says-now hes taking car to a place bout mile away from him does electronic work to vehicles-another cost--my query to you is -would the car start at all if all 4 injectors had to b reprogrammed-surely the car brain wouldnt let it start at all------he was seen driving out of garage today to drive to this place she already asked for receipt for injectors of him but hes stalling-her husband can claim the vat back----somethiung doesnt add up here
The car may run but not well, but I’d never recommend second hand or refurbished injectors to anyone. In my personal experience it sounds like he’s either broke something or he doesn’t know what he’s doing and fobbing you off
What could be the symptoms of problems with this part, maybe a grinding sound sometimes in second gear?
When these fail you cannot select gears. As the cables come off. If you’ve got grinding then that would be a internal fault or air in the hydraulic system
@@owensautotips I have a problem mainly in second gear, when quickly changing from first to second and only under load. but that doesn't always happen, that's why I hesitate.
What was the torque spec on the plugs?
Can’t remember but normally between 11-15nm
@owensautotips thank you. Were they removed with the engine warm or cold?
@Someukdude I always run the engine up to operating temp then remove them.
@@owensautotips final question, do I need a special tool to reset the values or are they plug and play?
Changed the crankshaft sensor and it still doesn’t start
Then you haven’t diagnosed it properly
Does this work for the 2024?
Yes it does
Hallo, i have the same problem in eniro 2021 How can we open de charge port ? Can we force the door anyway Thanks
Yeah pull it hard but it might break
❤
👌
Thank you very for doing this video as I am going to perform the operation. My engine is off the car, and planning myself the whole maintenance as I cannot afford to go in shop. I would have some question about torque setting, would you mind to share some information please ? I am searching all torque and distribution information as I am going to dismount the head and check all intake and exhaust valve, main journals so on ... Thank you so much
Unfortunately I’m leaving the motor trade so I don’t have access to specific information anymore. Good luck on the repair
What obd2 you used for calibration?
Hyundai GDS
where can i get you
EBay 1million
Can you hlep me?
Need more information

I am facing same problem and car car won't even charge. Can't find the product online can you please help me buying the product thanks
You need to contact dealer.
Had exactly this problem. Glad the car comes with a decent warranty.
@@profmartin1967 crazy for the money isn’t it
Well, I bought 3 torches on one of the sales they had on the official web site, sorry - but this torch is not as good as it seems.... The led stripe is nice but it iluminate too high and the light is not that strong. The rounded light is much better. Another down fall for this torch is the batterry that does not last more the 1 - 1.5 hours ,really disapointing.
@@galsapir2760 works perfect for me buddy. Especially in the workshop, second mode on the light bar last 3 hours for me which is plenty
@@owensautotips Well, I'll give the other two I bought a chance. Maybe the first one is a "lemon" 😅
My lr4 2010 gave the warning at 1500km after a major service. The tank was at 1/4. I was chasing a border before they closed and it was raining. I decided to fill up the tank in an attempt to decrease the fuel water ratio. After 20km the warning went away. Any comments?
Might have just picked up some debris from the bottom of the tank mate
@owensautotips thank you for the reply. It still comes on everytime I pass through abode of water eventhough it's only 250mm deep. It goes off after a few minutes of dry terrain. Could it be the harness above the diesel filter?
Great video very similar to my 1.5 engine ..my pipe that sits over cover though has a clip to pull out further down to the left more fiddly had it off doing the egr clean and clutch master replacement . What's the app you used please? I may need an injector shortly and trying to find the cheapest way to programme it ty in advance
App I used is Kingbolen Ediag
Ty buddy only just saw this reply so if i buy the diag tool u have there i simoly download that 1? Is the progrmme free onve you buy the device ? Ty @owensautotips
Great vid, I was thinking of buying one, is there a hybrid battery fan filter somewhere in the back seat like the Prius? Thanks
Not on these buddy as they are coolant cooled
We were just quoted $575 to replace one front parking sensor. Not warranty because it has a rock chip.
Can do it yourself cheaper 👍 yeah unfortunately if it’s faulty or paint is flaking then they will replace it but any signs of damage they won’t
Thank you so much for this video - it helped a lot! All of these steps are exactly the same for the Skoda Fabia mk3 1.2tsi with the same motor.

Hi, was you getting overboost code PO234. I'm getting this code at the min, do you think it's the turbo as I've changed the little boost valve and many other sensors with no joy
after I change fuel filter, fuel consumption increased from 6.8 to 8.0 liters suddenly in 50-60 kilometers. What could be reason?
Fuel filter leaking, very common for the seal at the bottom to fail or not be replaced
I have brought some second hand injectors to fix an injector code misfire Do I need to program it if the codes in injector match
Yes you need to program
No need to remove the nut in the door, the fastener holding the nut implies that it needs to stay there.
@@bolonabolona it’s a retained screw yes but if it’s not retracting all the way to remove the lock then you need to remove it kid
great video...thanks a lot!

Excuse me sir, i have the same car 20 years old and 200.000 km. Do you think i have to change the chain?
Chains only need changing when noisy/ stretched.. If you service your vehicle well the chain may live as long as the vehicle
@@owensautotips ok thanks 🙏👍
Can you share the part number in the description?
You will have to contact your dealer

Hi, great video, jut one question. The coolant needs draining first right? Looks like I may have to attempt this soon.
No need to drain coolant as you’ll still have coolant in the heater matrix.. just de gas the ac system and then bleed coolant and top up after
Thanks@@owensautotips, gas is already gone😂.
Worked a treat, took me 10mins max. There was a small piston inside and one end had snapped off. Just removed inside components with 2mm drill by pushing out.
Glad it helped don’t forget to subscribe:)
can we replace it with one bigger battery like 10-20kwh capacity and convert the car into pure hybrid?
No as you would need to upgrade the mhsg along with the Bms system etc
Hi I have bought a mokka 1.4 turbo petrol on a 17 plate, I've already had both sensors replaced but the engine light still comes on , now the garage is saying its the catalytic converter, it's only done 44000 miles! Surely that wouldn't breakdown that early.
Depends on the old owners service maintenance and driving style. I’ve seen some fail within 100miles before
