Replacing Shock Absorber on Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Shocks

Removing the front shock absorber from a Fiat Panda? Start by lifting the car on a column lift and locate the shock absorber to be removed. Use a socket spanner to undo the mounting bolts of the shock absorber (at the top and bottom). Use two spanners to remove the mounting bolts (hold one while loosening with the other). Open and lift the bonnet, then undo the securing screws above the shock absorber. Remove the shock absorber from its housing. Insert the new shock absorber into its housing and first tighten all the bolts at the top of the shock absorber, then secure the bottom. Refit the wheel once the installation is complete.

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.
