Replacing the Windscreen Washer Reservoir on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018

To replace the windscreen washer reservoir on a Ford Focus, first, position the car on a lift or on a flat surface, securely immobilised. The first operation is to open the bonnet and remove the bumper (these operations are not shown in the video). Once completed, the windscreen washer reservoir is located in the corner of the front of the car. Now, using a screwdriver, disconnect the electrical supply, which consists of two connectors, from the reservoir and detach the two hoses that supply water to the windscreen (after placing a bowl underneath the reservoir to collect the washer fluid). At this point, unscrew the two bolts that secure it in place using the appropriate tool and remove it from its position. For fitting the new reservoir, follow the same operations shown in the video but in reverse order.

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.
