I know this is old and maybe you'll not see this but, do you really need to bleed the brakes, can you not just leave the pipe on and wind the piston back in? I know it'll be harder but I'm doing this on my own, I've done the front but not the back before

Hi please can you tell me why my insignia 2011 always loses the oil cap, I always tighten it but it always comes loose and enough oil is escaping from there. Secondly, under the cabinet driver's side. After switching the engine off, there's this sound like long bip sound that slowly goes off. The last. In the air system or hydraulic system, there's also sound like gas out of a cow. But only sometimes not always. I want to be sure of what it's going on before I will go to mechanic. Sometimes it can be something that doesn't need a repair hope. Thanks

Nice one. I'd been meaning to do basic servicing on my own cars for years and it took covid to finally push me to do it. Saved hundreds since doing a full service, drop links, arb bushes and discs+pads. If your car is fairly modern and nothing is badly rusted it really is easy to do routine servicing and even some suspension work with a basic toolkit. Even for my city car the main dealer wants >£200 for just a oil+filter change! Costs me £35 and takes half hour.. FYI: The service fill for the 1.6TDi IIRC is 4.3 litres.

@Thediycarchannel
@Thediycarchannel 4 ай бұрын
Thank you. You have to bleed each side you loosen as it will pull air in that caliper. I would say 80% of people don't loosen the bleed nipple they just push this piston back slowly. But it's a lot easier to do with loosening the nipple if it will loosen and it's not seized

The oil filter was also quite hard to attach since it didnt stick to the housing, but i eventually managed and it did screw back on nicely.
