Re: Kia Sportage GT Line S HEV AWD 2024 cleaning of the center console, screen and dashboard.

I greatly appreciate it; I will purchase Armour All Interior Detailer from Halfords along with Advanced Microfibre Interior Cloth for the piano black and will also examine the dashboard while I am there.

Re: Purified manol oil

'Trading with the Enemy' is a book about how the Allies were able to trade with Japan and Germany despite trade bans and sanctions, a fact that was known to both politicians and secret services alike. Everything that you want or don't want to support is irrelevant; there is nothing new under the sun ...

Are rear coilovers available?

Hello everyone, I am in a bit of a pickle because the corrosion in my Mk6 Fiesta's rear upper spring mounts has caused my MOT to fail.

Re: Issue with the Timing Belt

In terms of the timing marks and the relationship between compression stroke and valve adjustment, I get it, but what about "both at TDC?"
Since the #4 is on the opposite stroke of the camshaft setting, the correct alignment position would be 180 degrees off, right?

Automatic 1993 Geo Tracker 8v
When you align the marks on the crackshaft and camshaft, as Haynes suggests, put #1 at TDC. The alignment procedure is specified in the 1993 service manual as requiring a compression stroke of #4 TDC...
