In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the air filter in a Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W169). Lift the hood and secure it with the prop rod. Using a flathead screwdriver, loosen the clamp that holds the intake hose connected to the filter box. Disconnect the intake hose from the filter box. Simultaneously press the clips to disconnect the power cable from the filter box. Remove the fastening elements of the cover (Torx T25 screws) and take off the cover of the filter box.

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.
