How to Eliminate the Noise from the Hinge of a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see how to resolve the annoying noise from the hinge of a Fiat Punto. Add an O-ring (seal) to your rod. Open the car door, and with a hex key, unscrew the securing O-ring of the hinge (mounted in the car door). Remove the O-ring that holds the two parts and replace it with a new one (sand and lubricate). Fit the new O-ring with the securing nut and pin (using the hex key). Test the correct operation of the door after reassembling all previously removed parts. If the rod is damaged, replace it.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
