Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, see how to replace the suspension springs in the Fiat Punto. First, loosen the bolts on the rear wheel before lifting it. Once lifted, completely unscrew the bolts using a 19mm spanner and remove the wheel, being careful while doing so (lift the wheel while unscrewing the bolts).

Using a hydraulic jack, support the rear suspension crossmember. Remove the fixing bolts, and once these are removed, take off the support.

Then, gently lower the hydraulic jack to avoid damage. At this point, you can extract the spring and proceed to replace it with a new spring.

Follow the illustrative video for the spring installation.

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.
