Model: BMW Serie 1 E87, E82, E81, MK 1 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing chain of the BMW 1 Series?

In order to replace the timing chain of the BMW 1 Series, you need to open the hood so that you can access the front part of the engine block. This car has a longitudinal engine, so the timing chain will be in the front. It will be possible to loosen the screws that fix the protective cover to locate the chain. Then, by loosening the screws that fix the tensioner, you can reduce its tension so that it can be removed from the respective gears. At this point, you can insert the new chain, making sure that everything functions correctly.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
