You will be asked 2 questions which may include the following items

You may be asked to Identify either the brake fluid reservoir, the engine coolant tank, the engine oil dipstick or the screenwash bottle.

Brake Fluid Level

 

The ford focus 1.5 tdci has the brake fluid located at the rear drivers side of the vehicle,checking the brake fluid level is simple, just look at the minimum and maximum marks at the side of the container, the brake fluid should be between the 2 marks.

 

 

 

Engine Coolant Level

 

Situated just in front of the brake fluid is the engines coolant, this is the biggest bottle under the hood, again just look to see if the level is between the minimum and maximum marks.

This coolant will expand when hot, so don’t be surprised if it is a little bit over the maximum markings. However if the level is below the minimum, then this could indicate a leak in your cooling system, which you should have checked out by a qualified mechanic.

 

 

Engine Oil Level

Use the dipstick which is located near the middle of the engine, remove the stick and wipe it clean. Replace and remove again and ensure that the oil is between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.

 

 

 

Screen Wash

 

Situated at the front of the engine is the screenwash, there are no markings on this bottle, just open the cap to look inside to check the level.During the colder winter months use a screenwash additive to prevent it freezing up.
