Replacing the Shift Boot and Knob on the Audi A6

Model: Audi A6 C7, MK 4 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Shifter boot

If the shift boot of the automatic transmission lever on the Audi A6 is worn or you want to replace it with a different material than the original, follow these steps to remove it. Sit in the driver's seat and position the lever in the "N" position. Using a plastic trim tool, if you can't do it with your fingers, lift the rectangular frame at the base. Once released, pull the boot upward to expose the ring at the base of the knob, rotate it to unlock, and with a firm pull, remove the knob along with the old boot. Remove the red insert from the new knob and position it on the lever with the button facing forward, rotate the ring at the base to the locked position, and snap the base of the boot into its housing.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
