How to replace the battery on a Ford Transit MK8

Model: Ford Transit MK 8 - Years 2014-2024
Part: Battery

In this video, you will see how to replace the battery on a Ford Transit MK8: in this vehicle, the battery is located under the driver's seat rather than in the engine compartment, which must be removed or at least lifted from its housing. Underneath, you will find a complete T40 bolt, and once this is removed, you can lay the seat back on its backrest from both sides. There are still two 8 mm bolts to remove, allowing you to take off the safety plate and comfortably access the battery underneath, which is no different from a standard battery.

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.
