Replacing Hydraulic Struts on Ford Fiesta

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

Open the boot and use a flat-head screwdriver, as shown in the video, to detach the strut from its mount. Do this on both ends of the strut and support the boot with a hydraulic jack. The operation is very simple and quick. To install the new struts, simply place the 'female' hooks onto the 'male' mounts on the bodywork and push them in with your hands until they click into place. Nothing easier! Check the proper functioning of the boot by raising and lowering it a couple of times.

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.
