Video tutorial

In this video, we will address whether it is necessary to change the fuel filter: the answer is definitely YES. In this case, it was a dual-fuel petrol/LPG vehicle, and as often happens, the owner had always driven on LPG - and we should know that this is a serious mistake - indeed, the petrol in the filter had literally gone bad, to the point that the filter had even rusted, causing evident electrical contact issues.

Given that the car was over fifteen years old, it was clear that this had never been changed.

In fact, the car was running poorly (not only because of this, but it contributed) precisely because regular maintenance had never been carried out properly, and probably low-quality products had been used.

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.
