How to remove the ignition cylinder of a Ford B-Max (or Fiesta)

Model: Ford B Max MK 1 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we will see how to remove the ignition cylinder from a Ford B-Max, but the procedure is identical for the Fiesta. In this case, the steering wheel cover has already been removed, and we have the cylinder exposed. The key has broken inside, and we are using a pair of pliers because otherwise, we would need three hands. Above the cylinder, there is a circular hole and a square one; we will insert something thin into the circular hole, while we will use a key in the square hole to press the button located inside, pushing it down while we pull out the key with the pliers. If we can't pull it out, we will discover that there is another square hole underneath. We will also push in that one and remove the lock cylinder: we recommend purchasing the lock cylinder from a physical store to ensure it matches exactly; the cost should not exceed 50.00 euros.

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.
