Video tutorial

In this video we see where the fuse box is located in the engine compartment of the Audi A3 8V version: it is located in a rectangular box on the right side (looking at the car from the front), next to the starter battery. However, this car also has another fuse box, located inside the passenger compartment.

For left-hand drive vehicles, this is located behind a cover on the left side of the steering column, between the steering wheel and the driver's door. In right-hand drive vehicles, we will find this box inside the glove compartment, behind a cover.

In any case, inside this box we will find the fuse for the cigarette lighter (also a power outlet) and it is number F40.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
