We need to clarify that the entire operational sequence visible in the video tutorial attached below is not specific to the Audi A3 but is of a generic value, as in all cars the method is almost the same. The work is carried out in the engine compartment and therefore we open the latter and locate the filter, then we place rags around it to prevent accidental spills of diesel from staining the adjacent parts during disassembly, we open the container and extract the filter in question and the gasket from inside.

Now, after lightly lubricating them with the same diesel, we install the new filter and gasket.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
