Replacement of Suspension Wishbones

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Control arm

The failure of the support bushes (silent blocks) of the suspension wishbones and the corresponding ball joint connecting the wishbone to the hub is quite common: in these cases, you can either replace just the bushes and the ball joint (specific repair kits are available) or replace the entire wishbone (given the relatively low cost, this solution is recommended); for both options, you must remove the wishbone; therefore, lift the vehicle, disconnect the strut from the wishbone, and undo the fixing bolts of the two bushes and the ball joint; remove the old wishbone and install the new one, proceeding in the same manner on both sides.

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.
