In this video, we listen to the wise advice of an experienced mechanic who shares a specific, common, and potentially dangerous problem, with a clear recommendation. In fact, as the YouTuber tells us, three out of ten Fiestas may have this issue: rust can break the shock absorber spring, making a "knock" noise; but if it breaks not at a corner like the one shown, but in the middle, the spring can shoot straight into the tire and puncture it instantly.

It has already happened. The advice given by the YouTuber is very wise: if we have a car of this type, have the springs checked before getting into trouble.

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.
