Replacing the Front Headlamp on a Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage QL, MK 4 - Years 2016-2022
Part: Headlight

Be aware that on this model of car, you must first remove the front bumper if you intend to replace a headlamp. To do this, simply unscrew all the screws that secure it above and below. If you have difficulties, refer to other tutorials. Using a 12mm socket, unscrew the bolt that secures the headlamp laterally, then with a 10mm socket, unscrew the two screws that secure it in the central part of the bodywork. Disconnect the two connectors (one large and one smaller) and remove the headlamp: to do this, pull it up and outwards from the car, giving it slight shakes to release it from the clips. Fit the new headlamp by reversing the process, or change the affected bulb by unscrewing it from the rear.

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.
