Front Shock Absorber Replacement

Model: Renault Laguna MK III, Laguna 3, MK 3, Laguna III, X91 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Shocks

Remove the affected wheel and place your vehicle on axle stands for easier access. Now, undo the bolt located at the end of the lower spring to detach the arm at the back. Also, remove the pipes connected to the strut. Next, undo the bolts securing the strut to the hub and remove them, ensuring the hub does not fall. Remove the wiper blades and the sealing rubber, as you will need to take off the panel between the bonnet and the windscreen. Now, you can undo the bolt at the top of the shock absorber, allowing you to extract it easily. For reassembly, simply follow the steps in reverse.

How to Remove the Engine Air Filter on a Fiat 500X

To remove the engine air filter on a Fiat 500X: open the car door, pull up the lever to open the engine bay located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the front bonnet, securing it with the prop rod. Unscrew the retaining bolts of the air intake kit (located above the engine head), remove the cover of the filter box and extract the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (ensuring it fits snugly against the walls). Finally, reassemble the air box cover and tighten everything with the bolts. Close the front bonnet after maintenance.
