To replace the timing belt on the Fiat Punto, open the bonnet to access the engine bay and remove the upper engine cover. Next, remove the side cover to access the pulleys.

These must be locked, and you will need to unscrew the central pin of the tensioner roller to reduce the tension on the belt. This will make it easier to extract and replace it with a new spare part.

After the new belt is installed, reposition all previously removed parts.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Dacia Sandero?

The tyre pressure warning light that appears on the instrument cluster of the Dacia Sandero can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar. Once the inflation is complete, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster to find the option related to the tyres: select this with the OK button, which should then be held down for a few seconds to completely turn off the light.
