How to Replace the Rear Shock Absorber on a Subaru Legacy

Model: Subaru Legacy BM, MK 5, BR - Years 2009-2014
Part: Shocks

Before you start, lift the rear end of your Subaru Legacy. Begin by removing the rear wheel by unscrewing the relevant fixing bolts. Next, using a jack, relieve the tension on the shock absorber by raising the base. After that, unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the shock absorber to the hub mount and the chassis, then remove the shock absorber itself. Once you have completed this step, the disassembly will be finished. To fit the new shock absorber on your Subaru Legacy, follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be 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.
