Replacement of the gear shift knob of the Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Fuel cap

In this video, we will see how to change the gear knob of a Kia Sportage: first, we need to lift the boot, which we will have removed from its fasteners, by using a plastic spatula or a small screwdriver. Then, we unscrew the knob from the shaft (it is very practical that it is screwed on, but if we do not know this and try to pull it off, we will irreparably damage the threading). We can find the new one, for example, on AliExpress with the code 1005004638530997, priced at 20.59 euros, plus 1.15 euros for shipping. We screw the knob back in place, put the boot back in its fasteners, and the job is done.

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.
