Replacing the coil spring shock absorbers on the Mercedes E-Class, W124, produced from 1984 to 1995, is a very simple operation that you can perform independently, thanks to this short video tutorial. Start by opening the trunk and removing the protective mat. Using a 17mm combination wrench, remove the internal fastening bolts.

Proceed by lifting the car and removing the rear wheels for better access to the shock absorber springs. Clean the bolts and remove them, as shown in the video, and extract the shock absorbers, then insert the new ones.

Remove the springs and insert the new ones. Tighten the pulley and you're done.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
