How to Change the Gear Oil on a Fiat Panda 1000 Fire

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video tutorial, you can see how to change the gear oil on a Fiat Panda 1000 Fire. First, position a plastic sheet under the vehicle to avoid mess; then you will need a container to collect the gear oil that holds 2.5 litres. For the grade, always refer to the vehicle's user and maintenance manual. A 12mm spanner will be needed to unscrew the plugs. A funnel with a 50 cm tube (maximum half an inch) is also required. Position the tray under the gearbox. Now unscrew the plug to let the gear oil out. Once the plug is unscrewed and all the oil has drained, clean any impurities from the plug and screw it back in, then proceed to add the new oil using the funnel with the tube (2.5 litres).

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
