How to replace the fuel filter on a Renault Kangoo II

Model: Renault Kangoo MK 2, FC, FW - Years 2007-2021
Part: Diesel fuel filter

The operation of replacing the fuel filter must be done every 2 years or 40,000 km on the Renault Kangoo II: we open the hood and disconnect the electrical connector of the filter heater. The two fuel lines are fixed with snap connectors. To release them, we press the two green tabs on each side simultaneously and pull the tube upwards. We apply a bit of tape on the opening of each tube to prevent dirt from getting in. We unscrew the 10 mm nut, pull up the entire box to remove it, open the cover; the filter is held in place by a threaded pin. We screw the new screw into the pin and, placing the box on a flat surface, give it a sharp blow to remove it from its seat. We insert the new filter and reassemble everything. We put the box back in place, reconnect the outlet tube, turn on the instrument panel to activate the fuel pump and wait for it to fill the filter and come out of the inlet tube connection, thus purging the air: only now can we reconnect the inlet tube. We clean up the spilled fuel and start the engine, letting it run at idle for a few minutes.

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.
