How to Renew the Interior Plastics of an Old Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Dashboard

The first model Panda is a car that never stops, and even if it is in poor condition, we hold onto it tightly. However, it is possible to improve it, especially inside where the plastics have deteriorated over time. This is a home solution: mix a bit of two-stroke oil or some diesel (the proportions are not fixed; it should form a sort of paste) to rehydrate the plastic. This procedure should be repeated several times until the plastic absorbs the nutrient. Afterwards, the treated plastics will not release greasiness, as they will have absorbed the moisture.

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.
