How to replace the rear shock absorbers on a Fiat Punto

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

Let's see in this short video tutorial how to replace the rear shock absorbers on a second-generation Fiat Punto, produced from 1999 to 2011. First, pull the handbrake, lift the rear part of the car, and remove the wheel. Now, with the help of a jack, loosen the shock absorber arm to better remove its fixing screws. Once done, use a 15mm socket wrench to unscrew the upper screw of the shock absorber, then use an 18mm socket wrench to unscrew the lower screw. Now we can remove the shock absorber, so let's install a new one following the reverse procedure to complete the job.

How do you open the key fob of a Volkswagen Golf Series 7? Take your key fob and press the release button of the metal key; once the metal key pops out, use a screwdriver to pry between the two halves of the key fob (in the space where the metal key fits). Pry until the cover opens, then extract the worn battery with a small screwdriver. Get a new battery of the same size and voltage. Join the two parts: press the key fob case until you hear it click into place. Check the proper functioning of the key fob by operating the buttons.
