Replacing Engine Oil and Oil Filter

Model: Audi A4 B5 - Years 1994-2000
Part: Engine oil

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and inspect it for any anomalies: oil leaks, rust, broken bushings, boots, or hoses, as well as wear on brakes and tires. Position a suitable container (approximately 5 qt) under the oil pan, unscrew the plug (located on the rear left corner) to allow the old oil to drain; at the same time, use a wrench to unscrew the oil filter (located next to the oil pan).
Once the draining is complete, screw the plug back in (replacing the copper washer if necessary) and install the new filter after applying oil to the gasket (hand-tightening is sufficient).
Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the owner's manual.

Removing and Replacing a Front Headlamp of a Lancia Lybra

This video explains how to remove and replace the front headlamp and its bulbs on a Lancia Lybra. The car has a very simple and quick headlamp removal system. To start, lift the bonnet, reach into the engine bay, and (specifically at the rear of the headlamp) unclip the metal tab that secures the headlamp, then use a screwdriver to undo the few Torx screws. After removing the screws, unclip the headlamp and pull it out from the bumper, disconnect the power connectors, and replace any damaged bulbs or the entire unit. The reassembly phase is very straightforward: insert the headlamp into the bumper housing as shown in the video, secure the metal tab until the headlamp clicks into place (screw in the securing screws). Finally, test the correct operation of the lights.
