Replacing the air filter in the Mercedes A-Class W169 is very simple, as shown in the attached video guide. First, remove the control unit that acts as a cover by unscrewing the two screws, disengaging the unit from the rear pins, and disconnecting the cables on the left side.

At this point, press the plastic clip on the filter itself and pull it upwards. If the housing is particularly dirty, proceed with a general cleaning by disassembling it. First, remove the two 10mm nuts, then detach the intake manifold from both the filter side and the air intake side.

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.
