Let's pay attention to the springs of the shock absorbers of the Ford Fiesta MK6.

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we listen to the wise advice of an experienced mechanic who shares a specific, common, and potentially dangerous problem, with a clear recommendation. In fact, as the YouTuber tells us, three out of ten Fiestas may have this issue: rust can break the shock absorber spring, making a "knock" noise; but if it breaks not at a corner like the one shown, but in the middle, the spring can shoot straight into the tire and puncture it instantly. It has already happened. The advice given by the YouTuber is very wise: if we have a car of this type, have the springs checked before getting into trouble.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
