Small repairs that we can do on our Citroen Saxo

Model: Citroen Saxo MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see small tips to fix five common issues that often occur on a Citroen Saxo by yourself: inside the cabin, the tube that carries water to the windshield wipers easily comes loose. It's just a matter of reconnecting it or the wipers won't work when needed and water will soak the upholstery inside the car. The second tip is about fixing the cabin fan, located on the passenger side. Start the car and move the cables to see if they have come loose. If this system doesn't work, we need to go to the driver's side, where the fuses are located: there is a small black box where the relay that controls the fan is; we will replace it and it will surely work again. If the turn signals don't work, instead of changing the lever, go back to the fuse box, where you will find a blue relay that controls the hazard lights. You can replace it yourself; but first, you can try gently sanding the contacts, which may be oxidized. Trying doesn't hurt! Of course, it could also be a blown bulb, if this system doesn't work, check that. Last tip: if the horn doesn't work, the solution is to change the button terminal and reconnect the cables.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
