Replacing Radiator on Alfa 147

Model: Alfa Romeo 147 MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Heater core

Changing the radiator on your car will not be easy; it is recommended for those with some experience. It can be removed in two ways: simply put, 'from above' and 'from below'. If you want to follow the first option, refer to the video. If you prefer the second, you must first lift the car off the ground to work safely. Then, the first piece to remove will be the undertray, followed by the bumper. At this point, to remove the radiator, it is important to note that the air conditioning system must be drained first. To do this, gently slide off (to avoid damaging it) the lower radiator hose. Now you will have 'arrived' at the desired piece. Remove it and proceed in reverse to install the new one.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
