Replacement of Diesel Engine Glow Plugs

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Glow plugs

Remove the three screws from the air filter and take it out. Unscrew the screws from the engine air box and disconnect the air hose by removing the clip. If you do not have the original clips, you can replace it with a traditional hose clamp. Remove the air box and, before proceeding with disassembly, clean it thoroughly with compressed air. Using an 8 mm socket, remove the first glow plug. Be careful not to drop any foreign objects into the well. Replace the glow plug with one of the same model, carefully inserting it into the well and gently turning it to ensure it screws in correctly. If you encounter resistance, remove it and try again. The glow plugs should be tightened with a torque wrench; if you do not have one, tighten without overdoing it. Proceed with the same operation for the other glow plugs.

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.
