How do you access the brake fluid reservoir on a BMW X1 E84?

Model: BMW X1 E84 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to find the brake fluid reservoir inside the engine compartment of a BMW X1 E84 version. It is located on the left side of the engine compartment, under the windshield, protected by a plastic cover that covers the entire area immediately below the windshield itself. It is not a single piece; we can remove a piece right in front of the driver (in the case of left-hand drive), simply by lifting the closure located on the sides of the first part of the cover. Underneath we will find the brake fluid reservoir. To open it, we rotate the cap clockwise, but to prevent the fluid from becoming contaminated, the cap will not come out of its housing.

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.
