Video tutorial

To replace the air filter, lift the hood and remove the plastic cover over the engine as shown in the video. Now disconnect the three hoses: two large ones on the left and right, plus one small one in the center.

Next, unclip the clip at the back of the filter housing. Remove the entire filter housing, being careful of any other clips.

Once the filter housing is removed, turn it upside down and start unscrewing the screws on the right and left sides. (The video shows the filter change on only one side). Pull out the filters from both sides and clean everything before reinstalling the new filters.

Reinsert the filters by closing and screwing back the two filter housing covers. Reinstall the complete filter housing onto the engine by reattaching the clips, including the main one at the back.

Reconnect the three hoses and put the other part of the engine cover back in place. Make: Mercedes Model: C300 Year: 2008-13 Tools needed: screwdriver or power screwdriver with a star bit.

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.
