The diesel filter is located in the engine bay on the passenger side, just below the windscreen: before starting disassembly, position a container underneath the vehicle to catch any diesel spills and disconnect the battery. The inlet and outlet pipes are secured to the filter with safety valves: simply press the lock to release them; then unscrew the clamp bolt to remove the filter, disconnecting the connector from the bottom where the blockage sensor is located (this sensor must be fitted to the new filter, replacing the o-ring gasket) and insert the new one; connect the pipes ensuring the locks click into place.

Turn on the ignition without starting the engine 3-4 times to fill the filter.

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.
