The torque splitter is located along the transmission, approximately in the centre of the vehicle, corresponding to the central torsion bar (it is advisable to lift the vehicle on a ramp to perform this operation, however, it is high enough to work on it at ground level): start by removing the bar itself by unscrewing the relevant fixing pins; disconnect the transmission from the splitter flanges by unscrewing the relevant fixing pins; then move on to the fixing pins of the splitter itself to the gearbox: it is recommended to support the splitter with a jack during the disassembly phase.

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.
