Replacing Car Shock Absorbers

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

When your car has covered many miles, it may be necessary to replace the shock absorbers, which serve to dampen the car's bumps and ensure safety while cornering. The procedure for replacing the shock absorbers can be done without the help of a mechanic. Once you have obtained the new shock absorbers, lift the car with a jack, open the bonnet, and remove all the screws located above the shock absorber and also the two screws of the driveshaft. Once this operation is done, you can place the new shock absorber in the same position as the old one.

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.
