How to repair the sliding door of a Ford B-Max

Model: Ford B Max MK 1 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Car door

Let's see how to repair the sliding door of a Ford B-Max: it's a problem that can be solved with simple cleaning and lubrication. The door moves on two main tracks; a lower slider and an upper one. We spray a generous amount of white lithium grease (like WD-40) on both tracks and along the entire length of the channel. We open and close the tracks several times to distribute the grease and remove any stubborn dirt. Then there are the rusted wiper arms, which we will need to replace. We lift them off the glass surface, remove the plastic cover that hides the nut, and take it off; the arm should not simply be pulled up and down, as we risk damaging the motor shaft; we need to shake it as if we want to detach it from the shaft, moving it in a direction perpendicular to the glass. We then install the new arm, screw on the nut and tighten it, reattach the cover caps and the blade. During the replacement, we should try not to move the wiper motor, as we risk losing the parking reference of the levers, which could result in them not positioning correctly on the glass anymore.

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.
