Changing Tyres on a Classic Fiat 600

Model: Fiat 600 MK 1 - Years 1955-1969
Part: Tires

We need to make a note: the original Fiat 600 fitted either 155/70/R12 or 145 R12 tyres (depending on the year), while the YouTuber is fitting 155/65 R13, which is not the original size. Naturally, to fit 13" tyres, specific rims are required, and often it is necessary to modify or remove the wheel arches or a leaf spring to prevent the tyres from 'rubbing'. The YouTuber chose an economical Chinese tyre (Lidlong) as it is intended for gentle use, and also plans to fit an inner tube because the old wheels are damaged inside. (This is a great suggestion). With the larger rim, the ride is smoother, and the YouTuber appreciates the aesthetic aspect. However, always remember that if this size is not indicated in the logbook (and it is not), you cannot fit it.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
