Replacing Rear Shock Absorbers

Model: Renault Scenic - Years 1996-2003
Part: Shocks

Replacing the rear shock absorbers is significantly easier than the front ones since the spring and damper are separate and specific clamps are not required to separate them; therefore, raise the vehicle on the ramp, remove the rear wheel, place a support jack directly under the suspension, and unscrew the lower fixing bolt of the shock absorber; to access the upper one, remove the inner lining of the wheel arch to complete the dismantling and install the new one in reverse order.

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.
