In this tutorial, learn how to remove and replace the timing chain on an Opel Corsa D 1.2 or 1.4 Ecotec. First, open the bonnet of your car and remove the battery by unscrewing the terminal screws; then remove the air filter box by disconnecting it from the intake hose, and remove the water pump hose. At this point, unscrew the injector screws and remove the oil cap; take off the cylinder head cover to access the chain.

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.
