Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Arm
Operation: Replacement swinging arm head suspension

The head of the oscillating arm of the suspension is not integrated into the arm itself, as in most cases, but has its support in turn fixed to the oscillating arm by means of pins: before proceeding with the disassembly, spray some release spray in order to overcome the corrosion and not to risk breaking the pins; then disassemble the fixing pins of the head to the oscillating arm and then move on to extracting the head itself from the hub support: it is not excluded that it is necessary to resort to an extractor or even to cut with the grinding wheel; once the old head has been removed, brush the seat to remove any residual oxidation, lubricate with grease and install the new one, fixing it to the swinging arm with the new pins supplied.

How to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
