How to change the front brake pads of the Renault Clio IV

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, MK 4, Clio 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Brake pads

In this video, we will see how to change the front brake pads on the Renault Clio IV: we open the hood and remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir, then we lift the front of the car and remove both wheels. We place a flat screwdriver at the outer end of the slot on the front of the caliper to retract the piston, then we unlock both caliper bolts. We then tie a strap to the shock absorber coil to secure the caliper, so that the flexible hose does not get damaged. Now we remove the brake pads, and with a flat screwdriver we remove the anti-noise springs. We clean the pad support with a metal brush. We install the new anti-noise springs, then the new pads, greasing the support with copper grease. We put the caliper back in place, inserting the caliper bolts, which we tighten to 27 Nm. We repeat the process on the other side, reassemble the wheels, and lower the car.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
