To replace the gearbox oil in an Audi A3, access the underside of the engine compartment, locate the gearbox and its oil drain plug. Unscrew this plug and position a container underneath to collect all the used oil. Once the oil has completely drained, top up through the appropriate filler cap located on the side of the gearbox: insert a tube into the hole and pour oil from the other end where a funnel will be placed.

After topping up, close the plug.

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.
