Replacing Tailgate Gas Struts on Renault Twingo

Model: Renault Twingo Twingo 1 - Years 1993-2007
Part: Hydraulic pistons

Today, you will see a really, really simple operation: replacing the gas struts that allow the tailgate to open by supporting its weight. As an example, we will show you a Renault Twingo 1, but the hydraulic struts are all very similar, and the replacement is easy for each of them. Open the tailgate and place a hydraulic support stand underneath to prevent it from falling when you remove the struts. To do this, simply lift the upper clips with a flat screwdriver, as shown in the video, and pull them out of their seat. In the same way, detach them from the lower attachment.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
