How to solve the metallic vibrations of the 1.6 HDi engine of the Citroen C4

Model: Citroen C4 MK 2 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to solve the problem of metal vibrations which are a common issue with the 1.6 HDi engine, also used in the Citroen C4: the problem is caused by the metal casing which, having a metal-to-metal seal, vibrates and creates that annoying noise. Over time, the component, due to constant vibration, easily splits in two and at that point it is necessary to replace it. The price, for an aluminum piece, is exorbitant, just below 50 euros. The advice is to go to a spare parts dealer with the piece in hand, because opinions on the exact name - the only way to find it online - are not unanimous, and there is a risk of buying the wrong part. If your piece has not yet broken, try tightening it a bit (not too much) or adding washers to increase thickness.

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.
