How to Replace the Heater Tap on a Ford Ka

Model: Ford Ka MK 3 - Years 2016-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, see how to replace the heating tap on the Ford Ka (the same procedure applies to Fiesta, Transit, and Puma). You can find this component on eBay with code 204141990125 for £17.99 plus £5.90 for shipping. Here's how to proceed: first, remove the wipers by lifting the clip, unscrewing the bolt, and pulling upwards. Next, remove the eight screws holding the plastic trim at the base of the windscreen to take it off. Remove the three screws and then the clips from the plastic panel underneath. Behind this, you will find the pump. There are connectors to disconnect, as shown in the video. You will find metal clips that need to be widened to release the hoses, then extract the connector from the solenoid valve, possibly using a screwdriver for assistance. At this point, the tap - which our YouTuber explains in detail - can be removed and replaced.

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.
