How to replace the cabin temperature sensor in a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

This video demonstrates how to clean and potentially replace the cabin temperature sensor in a Ford Fiesta MK6, which is hidden behind the grille located in the centre console on the driver's side. Remove the small cover beneath the radio control panel, then take off the plastic trim surrounding the gear lever, and from there, remove the air conditioning control section in the centre console. Behind it, there are four screws and electrical connectors that illuminate the buttons to disconnect: this allows you to remove the climate control unit, giving access to a "sleeve" (the sensor of interest) that you can pull out, clean, and then refit. Alternatively, you can replace it by finding it on eBay with the code 394499977905 for £30.00 plus £10.00 for delivery.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
