How to replace the rear shock absorbers of a Renault Modus

Model: Renault Modus MK 1 - Years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
Part: Shocks

Video tutorial

In this demonstrative video, we see how to replace the rear shock absorbers of a Renault Modus. We can find the replacement on E-Bay with the code 254978542377 for the price of 73.00 euros, with free shipping.

We see that access to the top of the strut is very easy thanks to the door that we can find inside the trunk; we will need a 16 mm socket wrench. We remove the wheel and then remove the protective cover of the bottom part of the shock absorber; we support the car with a hydraulic jack and then lubricate the sealing screw, which we will remove with an electric drill and an 18 mm socket.

We remove the old shock absorber and replace it with the new one, initially tightening the bolts less. We put the wheel back in place and lower the car. We tighten the lower bolt with a torque wrench to 10.5 Nm; we close the protective cover and tighten the upper bolt to 2.1 Nm. We close the trunk lid and move on to the other wheel.

How to reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
