Quick Fix for the Climate Control Commands in a Renault Kangoo MK1

Model: Renault Kangoo MK 1, KC, KW - Years 1997-2008
Part: Air conditioner

The manual temperature control in this Renault Kangoo MK1 no longer works; the lever moves freely, and the air remains either always hot or always cold. The cause is the breakage of the plastic tooth on the gear of the control that engages the Bowden cable (the steel cable that controls the mixer flap). This is an old and poorly maintained vehicle, so instead of replacing the part, the YouTuber made a small hole in the seat where the tooth broke with a sharp tool, passed the Bowden cable through this hole, and created a loop with the cable itself, allowing it to work and transmit movement. He secured everything with a tight zip tie, and now the control works at almost no cost.

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.
