Kia Rio timing belt?

Anyone know the code to unlock the radio on a 2003 Kia spectra?

Each radio in each car has a specific code and they are all different. No one is going to be able to tell you the code except your Kia dealer. Look around the car and in your owner's manual. Someone may have written it down. ======================== For the 2002 Spectra, I had debated including the default security code here, but seeing as the stock radio is not even worth the effort to steal it, it is "1111" From pages 9 and 10 of the "Audio Owner's Manual": For the first digit, press preset 1 a sufficient number of times for the correct number to appear. For the second digit, press preset 2 a sufficient number of times. For digit 3, press preset 3, for digit 4, press preset 4. If the correct code is not displayed, repeat the steps until it is. When the correct code is displayed, press the SEL button once. If the system is still locked, repeat these steps.

How do you release the pressure on the brake cylinder on the rear brake pads of a kia spectra 2004?

I did it myself with a large "C" clamp and a block of wood. I used the block of wood behind the caliper to anchor the clamp and used the adjustable side of the clamp to push the cylinder back into its housing. I believe I used a big pair of channel locks or pliers to get enough torque to actually tighten the clamp and force the cylinder back into the caliper.

WARNING: This is a cheap-ass, ghetto way to accomplish this task. You need to be really, really careful to make sure you force the cylinder back straight and not at an angle. If it goes back at an angle it can get stuck and damage the caliper permanently. They also make a specially designed tool to do this repair. This is a more expensive solution, however it minimizes the possibility of doing any damage to your car. Do a google search to find it.

How do you put a 2002 Kia Spectra window back on track?

I am dealing with the same thing myself. Here's what I have found out:

As Kia Spectras get older, the windows often start to have problems. When you're looking at a window that is "off track" and rolls up crooked, most likely what you're looking at is a bad window regulator. The price for getting this fixed varies based on whether you're talking about manual or automatic windows. My Spectra had automatic windows, so those are the only kind I can speak to.

Having this replaced at the dealership costs around $350-450. If you or a mechanic you trust is up for it, the part itself (usually sold in conjunction with a window motor) is in the $200-225 range. Used ones are available (often with short term guarantees) from junkyards or even eBay in the $100 range, though I have seen some as low as $79.

Good luck.

How do you remove the drivers side headlight on your 06 KIA spectra to change the bulb?

Actually the drivers side headlight has the battery about half an inch behind it so that 3" plastic cap can't be removed all that easily! The passenger side is a breeze but the drivers side is a pain in the butt. The headlight assembly needs to come out to change the bulb. Remove the top screws on the headlight housing and the screws on the left side (passenger side). Then remove the housing, change the bulb and re-install. Good luck! Under the hood, behind the light is a large screw on type plastic cover about 3" in diameter. It takes only about one full turn to remove. This will expose the bulb and its connector. Pull off the connector by pulling straight back. Push down and out on the wire spring clamp that is holding the bulb in place. When installing a new bulb, don't touch the glass part or it will fail prematurely. To remove the turn indicator, which is closer to the side of the car then the main headlight, simply push in and turn clock wise 1/4 turn.

How do you adjust Kia headlights?

Quote: I have a 2003 Kia Sorento and when my husband changed my headlights I asked him to "adjust" them. He tried to put he said that they can't be adjusted to point higher, lower or whichever way because they are screwed into place. Unquote.

Just in case anyone comes across this reply when looking for how to adjust Sorento headlights: the answer above is wrong. Sorento headlights are adjustable up & down, and side to side with a Phillips screwdriver. In addition, some Sorentos have and in-vehicle headlight adjustment switch so you can adjust for extra weight in the rear while you are driving.

How do you explain the meaning and purpose of a sampling frame in random sampling?

The term "sampling frame" may have no meaning at all in "random" sampling, since the "frame" by nature sets the parameters of the sampling, thus rendering the sampling somewhat "non-random".

Having said that, you might want to study the quality of corn in your area and, depending on which aspects or determining factors you are studying, you might set your sampling frame as "all the farmers in Waterloo region" or "all the farmers in a particular area growing Gold Harvest F1 Hybrid". These two examples will obviously give you different results as they are intended to study different aspects of corn.
