Replacing the Coolant in a Ford Fiesta Radiator

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 4, Be91, MK 4, MK IV - Years 1996-2002
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's look at the removal and replacement of the coolant in a Ford Fiesta radiator. Disconnect the radiator hose at the bottom using a socket wrench (lift the car), and drain the rusty fluid into a container. Flush the cooling system with appropriate fluid, repeating this process until the pipes and radiator are completely clean. Reconnect the previously removed hoses and tighten the metal clips in the engine bay. Top up with the new coolant. Finally, test for any leaks in the system.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
