Fitting Side Skirts

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Body

Here is a video showing you how to fit the side skirts to your Ford Fiesta. First, place the skirt against the lower side of the vehicle and take a measurement. Mark a line along the top with a non-permanent marker to use as a reference point for the final installation. Use a solvent to prepare the surface where the adhesive will be applied. Now apply the adhesion promoter at the points where the adhesive tape will be attached. Use a razor blade to cut the centre of the red tape to create a tab that can be pulled during installation. Now position the skirt using the reference mark made earlier. Starting from the centre section, pull the red tab and press the skirt onto the vehicle's surface. You can also use a roller to increase the effectiveness of the pressure. Now, using a power drill, make holes in the front edge for the self-tapping screws that you will screw in with the electric screwdriver. After removing the rear wheel, install the rear supports, also using the drill. Secure a screw centrally as well. To protect the metal of the screws, apply some paint with a small brush.

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.
