Boot Lock Wiring Repair

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Trunk lock

If the rear boot lock does not activate when pressing the remote key button, check the wiring that runs through the rubber gaiter near the boot support strut: the repeated opening and closing of the boot can stress the cables, causing them to flex and potentially break over time.
Remove the rubber gaiter and inspect the cables, restoring continuity with ties or soldering, which should then be insulated with heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape.

Where is the Fuel Filter Located in a Volvo XC60?

In this video, you will see where the fuel filter is located in a Volvo XC60 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape. Next, unscrew the housing, remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket, and reassemble everything.
