How to Open the Bonnet of the Audi A2

Model: Audi A2 MK 1 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Body

The Audi A2 is certainly one of the first to achieve the city car objective: it is a 5-door model with truly compact dimensions and, thanks to the use of aluminium for the bodywork, it is equally lightweight, benefiting fuel consumption and performance. However, carrying out some body repairs can be quite costly. That said, rather than simply opening, the bonnet must practically be removed, somewhat like a fairing. From the lever on the driver’s side, you can open and tilt the front cover to access the two grey knobs that need to be turned to release and remove the bonnet.

How to Change the Diesel Filter on a Renault Captur 1.5 dCi

The diesel filter on the Renault Captur is always of the immersion type, but instead of being located at the top of the engine bay, it is positioned lower, inside the front right wheel arch (passenger side), practically under the headlamp. To replace it, it is advisable to lift the vehicle, remove the front right wheel and the corresponding inner lining to access the filter location. Unscrew the fastening nuts of the support clamp to extract it from its housing and disconnect the connector and pipes. At this point, unscrew the fixing screws of the cap, remove the old filter and insert the new one, also replacing the O-ring seals, and then reverse the steps for installation. Before starting the engine, turn the ignition on and off several times to allow the filter to fill.
