My videos are simply to help others, by showing my experiences, which may, in turn, help people to save a bit of money and have some pride in that achievement.
I don't use or own any fancy video equipment and it's certainly not a polished video product, by any stretch of the imagination.

Hi gtd65, another cracking video that helped me a lot. BTW, did you ever find a correct spring brand that fitted well? I have a 2009 Ceed and my R/H coil slightly rubs the inner wheel arch, so I get the feeling it's a Napa brand. I have never changed it, but I keep having to replace the strut bearing every year or so.
@@markwickham1179 Hi Mark. Cheers for the positive feedback. I ended up buying a couple of used struts, from a local breaker yard in the end. As far I can recall, there are differences between the early ED models and the later facelifted variants. That also applies to the bearing knuckle/stub axle as well. It's strange that you are having to replace strut bearing so frequently though? Have you checked to see if the L/H coil is the same width as the R/H coil? I had a quick look on the Autodoc site and two springs are listed as 08- 2009 to 08-2012 and also up to 07-2009 for the original ED. Here's the link with the info and you'll see the different dimensions www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/coil-springs-10213/kia/cee-d/ceed-hatchback-ed/19941-1-6-crdi-90

I just wanted to say thanks as in this was a fantastic help in getting the job done. I didn't do calipers, mine is 2011 and gone approx 140k km. How can you tell the calipers need to go you think? Doing the front tomorrow, hoping it's similar enough to this as first side took nearly 4 hrs and second time around 45mins or so. Thanks again this was great for a novice mechanic
@@johnniewelken5417 glad to hear the video was helpful for you. I would just recommend checking the condition of the caliper piston (for corrosion) and dust seals (for any rips or tears) and any signs of fluid leakage. I did a front brake service, a few months back, which you can see here ua-cam.com/video/cXNJPZVfgoA/v-deo.html There are other videos to look at but you'll probably find the front end is easier than the rear, to replace parts and service components.

mate, your control arm, stab link and strut top+ bearing need to go.... realize the strut top mount bushing carrys 100% of the weight 24/7 for years !!! 30£ on autodoc website
Absolutely crap and irritating things. I have a C'eed. Great car but as I say these jets are a complete frustration! I have this problem all the time with mine. Bought some new ones from Ebay and now they've done the sane thing. And what a stupid design to try and remove them from the car body. Total dog crap!!!
Hi Alan, I wonder if it's down to the type of washer fluid clogging them up or an actual design issue? I've got another video where the pump was completely sludged up.
@gtd65 OK great. I'll have a look. Thanks for your info.
Don't believe you put new calipers and pads on them disc's
Disc surfaces were still serviceable but the discs look pretty rusty, in general, as is the norm here in Scotland. As far as I recall, this was just a caliper swap and the existing pads/discs were used.

Haha, that's my pal Adam 😂 He was having trouble with his breathing after one of his Wuhan flu shots....😊
where can i buy this clip connectors please??
@@achichorniadesegornia which type?
The orange one please
@@BrutalR0y I suspect the local dealer will be the simple answer but you'll be able to get some at a scrappy or breakers yard. I've not seen any online, so far.
@@gtd65thanks mate will have to keep looking as really need the orange clip myself
@@BrutalR0y I'm not sure why they don't seem to be available online. There's a variety of clips on AliExpress but without the part number it might be difficult to determine if it's the correct clip.
Did you tighten the cable up with the handbrake off or on?
@@samwilson756 I let the handbrake off, then adjusted. Just make sure it's not dragging, when you've finished.
DESIGN FAULT. The jets have a none return spring valve inside that clogs up usually because two different sorts of washer fluid have been used. Its not sludgy gunge that builds up its little bits of crystal. You can fix them though. Some Kia jets are available on ebay for a few pounds so its not worth the effort of cleaning however the soul jets are about £20.00 each. Its an easy job to do if you have some tools. I cleared mine by using an ultrasonic cleaner and kept poking some 2.5mm electric earth wire down both ends of the jet and back in the cleaner etc etc. Have read that boling in white vinegar will clear it as well. It really is an easy fix taking off the shroud that covers the jets so dont be afraid to have a go. KIA are a waste of space. Told my daughter it wouldnt be covered under guarantee and would incur a £160.00 diagnostic fee but they didnt have an appointment for 3 weeks? Only thing to make sure of is that the water is coming from the bottle and you must empty it and wash it through which is quite easy using the hose as shown in the video
@@burtonfootballer5408 I've got another video where I bought some replacements off AliExpress. Not quite the same spray pattern but give a decent output. I'll try the boiling in vinegar portion and see how that works out though! 👍

@@user-fy5tq8fi3d no problems so far, two years later
This is a known problem with the Jazz, that's why you will find a number of these cars with dents on the rear bumper or tailgate because the driver has applied the hand brake lever but not put it into first gear. My wife has the 1.2 jazz and I have the 1.4 jazz, same problem with both, you can have a perfectly adjusted hand brake holding on the 6th notch at the MOT and all is fine, come the next MOT a year later and the handbrake needs 10 notches and a hefty pull to hold the car on a mild incline. Every model of a car made has one fault and this is the one on the jazz. Handbrake on rear discs is generally a crap idea. My VW Sharan has the same problem, the auto adjusters seize up with water and mud and puts resistance against the handbrake operation. The sprung actuator lever seizes and I have to get underneath spray it with WD 40 and operate the lever till it frees up. My first car was a Morris Minor with drum brakes all round, the front braking was poor and down hills you really had to watch your speed, the rear drum handbrake was remarkably good and I found myself having to use the the handbrake in conjunction with the foot brake on winding hills, and the handbrake would last through a few MOT's before they needed attention, maybe that explains why some Jazz owners are fitting drum brakes to the rear? That's progress.
Hi David, I'm not sure why they changed to the discs, as the drum brakes worked perfectly on the previous Jazz we had. Never any trouble with the drum handbrake, other than perhaps adjusting the cable under the centre console once in four years of ownership. I think it's a job you expect to do every other year or just before the MoT to make sure it's all good. Previously you wouldn't leave the car without putting it in 1st gear. They are such good little cars otherwise.

Hello my friend,i have a kia ceed 2008 second gen 1.4 petrol and i replaced my fuel tank but when o filled the tank with fuel the fuel was leaking on the top of the tank and spilling under the car Any suggestion why is this leak???Is it possible that the fuel tank isnt sealed enough???
Hi Giorgio, when you replaced the tank, did you swap over, the in tank fuel pump and sender unit? If it's from the top I'm thinking it might be the seal around the sender unit (see 02:08). You get access to that, under the rear seat, inside the car, so it should be easy enough to check if it has been or is still leaking. If it's not that seal, I'd double check the hose clamps for the fuel filler (08:12). Was it a new or used tank that you fitted? Could it have been a faulty tank that was fitted?
Gt85 is better and cheaper made in the same factory as wd40
I used to have that in the shed but seem to be using all the remnants of WD40 at the moment!
Hi pal love the channel and I have a 2011 kia ceed but the clutch starts to bite about 1in off the floor any thoughts on why

What year SW7 is this mate?
sgtfoureyes, it's a December 2012, pretty much at the tail end of the ED model.
Ah nice, I got a 2009 sw month or so ago 1.6 diesel, my clip on my intercooler hose has part corroded and have a bit of oil seep - hoping it's normal amount of oil from normal use and not the turbo shitting - wondered if yours was in a similar condition
@@sgtfoureyes5972 all seems good so far, no shortage of corrosion up here, unfortunately. How much oil are you using? Mine doesn't seem to burn any, or not enough to notice between oil changes.
@@gtd65 well I've recently took it in for full service as was due, think two week ago- previous owners had it serviced every year apart from 22. Oils currently sitting at the max, one week I'll do 50 miles a day, the next week I do less cause of work car share. Checked oil today and still at full, so I'll keep an eye on it. Wonder if it's just pushing oil built up from the pvc over time - heard this is common in diesels
@@sgtfoureyes5972 I've had mine over 7 years now almost on 194,000 miles. They have a reputation for being very reliable cars in general. Since doing the minor fix on the connector the car is starting up after the first turn of the engine again. If it's anything like my car, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it overall.

How can i adjust just one wheel please?? One is good one is loose
Vlad, you will need to remove the wheel to do that, there is an adjuster which needs to be turned manually to set it correctly. Have a look at this video and you'll see the adjuster. ua-cam.com/video/pvuqiaWRoGg/v-deo.htmlsi=_hpyM6RoKuVKXmyD

Is it different on my car? Thanks.
@@vladmoloce8915 I see, so you have the JD model? Mine is the earlier ED 2007 to 2012. Looking at Autodoc, it seems there's two options, one with electric handbrake and one without?

To save time, I'd head over here and make a post with your problem. www.kiaownersclub.co.uk/forums/ceed-2012-2018.55/
Do cars has 2 adjusters? So in your case is in the cabin like in the video, do you have the adjuster by wheel as well? Or either like your case either by rear weels through the disc hole?
@@vladmoloce8915 yes the adjustment in the cabin is basically taking up the slack in the cable. Here's a video giving more detail on the handbrake at the back wheels. ua-cam.com/video/pvuqiaWRoGg/v-deo.htmlsi=lQy_zmTicQRH_IrB
Great video thank you. How do you remove the clips that hold the plastic wheel arch liner in place. Is it just brute force?
Cheers Adam, the central part that looks like a Phillips screw can sometimes screw out but can be sticky. If so, just use a thin blade and pop them out, then you can easily remove the outer section. Refitting, push in the outer ring first, then simply press in the Phillips part.

You might get better fidelity if you replace the fluffy filter with a sponge element used in aquarium filtration, the filter is perhaps too dense as it dulls out your voice a bit too much.
I'll try the other black one that came with it as well
Check the balance by hanging the blade on a nail. Keep grinding on the heavy side until it hangs level.
Don't forget to ensure the blade is balanced.

I have to thank you once again Sir, without this video i would of been screwed. I went to do my oil and filter change, everything went alright until it was time to put the orings back on the filter housing cup - I put my oring exactly where it was when it came out when i inspected it but upon starting the vehicle i had a leak and lost half a litre, In a panic i shut it down and shit my pants thinking I didn't torque up the sump plug to spec, nah the sump plug was bone dry! I looked at the housing and of course that was sodden, and the splash tray was filled with what came out of the threads. So I looked for your channel and found this glorious video and what do you know! the bloody o ring had shifted when i pulled it out as the oring on your filter housing cup was on the third notch up, mine was on the fourth where there was some threading present still. I used a mahle 0X 351d filter and i noticed it had an extra oring that was a bit skinnier than the one that sits on the shaft of the oil filter housing, any idea where that one is suppose to go? as i replaced the sump crush washer and the two orings on the housing but this third one is a mystery to me. Bloody nightmare but thanks to you, you saved the day so i really appreciate your videos on this car mate, thank you once again.
Very welcome and cheers! As afar as I'm aware, there's just the one small o-ring at the "pointy end" and then the large one at the "fat end", on the third ring? Do you have options for 3 o-rings?

Got a few things off tumu found them alright like socket set tyre plugs
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. 😇

One thing you have to verify is the position of the caliper piston cross shape, relative to the raised bumps on the inner brake pad that has to be aligned to accept the caliper. If not, it will not slide into place, no matter how hard you try. It might be an idea to make sure the handbrake cable (is it not a cable, rather than a hydraulic line?) is fully released.
