How to Unblock the Drain of a Renault Clio III

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you will learn how to unblock the drain of a Renault Clio III and the trick for the front windscreen area to prevent the issue from recurring, thus avoiding water ingress that can lead to mould in the carpet over time. You will need a flat screwdriver to remove the grilles located at the sides of the bonnet: simply turn the screw a quarter turn and lift it from both sides. Now remove the seal located under the rear edge of the bonnet, and you can take out the grille that you previously freed. However, the grille cannot be completely removed due to the wipers. What you need to do is locate the drainage tube that allows water to flow away, which is located at the extreme side of the bodywork on both sides. This is what is blocked. Pull both of them out. Clean them, and before refitting, cut a small piece off so they cannot get blocked again. Now reassemble the screws by simply pressing and turning a quarter turn, then replace the seal you removed earlier, and your work is complete.

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.
