How to replace the door tie rod of the Fiat Grande Punto

Model: Fiat Punto 199, MK 3, Punto EVO, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Car door

If a noise is heard when the door is opened and closed and the movement no longer has that click that also allows the door to remain open, then it means that the tie rod has been damaged; in order to carry out this repair, the door panel must first be removed; once removed, carefully detach the sound-absorbing lining, perhaps with the help of a cutter and then unscrew the fixing pins of the tie rod both on the door side and on the pillar side; then remove the damaged tie rod by passing it through the door and then insert the new one and proceed backwards to complete the assembly.

How to Remove the Diesel Filter from a Peugeot 207

Lift the bonnet; remove the soundproofing panel from the engine and locate the diesel filter (as shown in the video). Using a socket wrench, unscrew the bolts (a spanner can also be used) near the container where the diesel filter is located. Once the filter is removed, disconnect the circulation hoses and take it out of the vehicle (replace it with a new filter). Finally, refit the filter to the attached container of the diesel filter (connect the hoses and wires) and tighten the appropriate bolts. Close the bonnet afterwards.
