This guide shows how to remove the arm and motor of the rear wiper from an Audi A3 8P. The first step is to detach the plastic plug at the base of the wiper to expose the fastening bolt. Using a 13 mm spanner while holding the wiper, you can remove the assembly.

With the aid of a puller or by simply pulling, you can remove the wiper blade from its seat. Next, unscrew the two Torx screws from the inner panel of the boot lid and carefully detach the fastening clips.

Using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the fastening bolts of the wiper motor to the frame. At this point, disconnect the electrical cable and the water cable.

Reassembly is straightforward; simply perform the actions in reverse order. You can also completely remove the wiper using a special kit available for purchase.

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.
