Thanks for this , I have a 2007 kia ceed and I’m replacing the rear discs and pads this weekend and possibly the backing plates and I’m expecting a lot of seized and rusted parts. I managed to download a .pdf of the workshop manual and it looks like the same setup for your 2012 car. Watching this video is really going to help out. Cheers
Hi Pete, hopefully everything comes apart easily for you. As you can see in my case there's no shortage of corrosion but everything came apart easily enough.
Hey again, thanks for a great video. I used this video and the one you did on the handbrake to fix both at the same time. Invaluable to get it done right! The absolutely toughest part I found was getting the springs on the brake shoes correctly mounted, holding them in place and holding the cap to the springs with pliers and at the same time twisting them.. Well well, it got done and in no small part thanks to your excellent videos. Big thanks! For the future, would you consider making a video of servicing the EGR valve? I've heard some people debating about how clogged up this part can get, some simply using EGR cleaner directly in the engine air intake but I thought that dismounting it and cleaning it properly would be better.
Hi Gosta and thank you. The springs are certainly a bit on the fiddly side. I'm sure I'll need to get round to the EGR at some point but will hopefully stay away from that for as long as possible! I tend not to use the car for short journeys as much as possible, so fingers crossed mine is as clean as possible for now. Do you do a lot of short journeys or start stop driving in the city? That seems to be the main caused of clogged EGR valves?
@@gtd65 yeah I would say my main use of the car is for rather short trips of max 30 minutes. So I think it'll be something to do at least once and to have a look at the state of it. Would you say it's difficult to remove it?
@@gostaagerberg2153 it doesn't look like a five minute job, unfortunately. I watched a video a few years ago using a Sportage and there's quite a bit of stuff to be removed in that case. I'd be inclined to try using some sort of solvent first. 😇
@gtd65 yeah contemplating doing it myself but think I'll be having a miserable couple of days doing it with my limited equipment and expertise. Keep the videos coming mate very helpful for people like me. My back brakes and fuel filter need doing and your videos are a great help 👍🏻
@@gazwilliams9488 the weather has been bloody miserable the past couple of days with the high winds and rain battering off the windows here. I've never actually had to replace a clutch, so far, thankfully! What sort of mileage has your clutch covered?
It's done 120,000 clutch is original one, I'm finding it difficult to get into gear sometimes. Double clutching is necessary in 1st and reverse. And in low revs it's noticeable. Planning on keeping this car for another 80,000 miles at least.
@@gazwilliams9488 I think, I might have read something before, about adjusting the clutch action to resolve that? Have you had at look at www.kiaownersclub.co.uk/forums/ceed-2006-2012.54/

Pete, here's an earlier video I did on the rear brakes.

Ohhhhh, the state of those cover plates 😭😭
Yeah it's definitely on the "to do" list. Perhaps in the summer.
Fancy showing us how to do a clutch replacement?
Gaz, hopefully I'll not be needing to do that for a while. Would probably need the use of a lift to undertake something like that?
