How to Perform a Full Service on a BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Engine oil

In this video tutorial, you can see how to perform a full service on a BMW 1 Series. First, purchase new filters (oil and fuel) and enough engine oil. Raise your car and secure it. The first step is to remove the engine cover. Using a 17 mm socket, unscrew the oil filler cap; let all the oil drain into a container. Meanwhile, change the oil filter; you will need a 32 mm socket, so remove the old one and install the new one. Now replace the washer on the oil filler cap, screw the cap back on, and add the engine oil. At this point, you can replace the cabin filter, so remove all the screws holding it, then take off the plastic cover to access the filter. Finally, remove the fuel filter and replace it.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
