Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to repair the intercooler pipe of the Opel Insignia, with pipe code 134173441 for the 1.6 CDTI 120 or 136 HP engine. Generally, the pipe is damaged in the throttle valve clamping system, and this kit consists of a pipe, two collars, and a metal pipe.

The original pipe must be cut with a cutter, making a precise cut to avoid pieces of plastic going into the intercooler pipe. We will insert the reinforced pipe with the help of lubricant, and with the help of a rubber mallet, while the purpose of the metal pipe is to reinforce the original pipe, which - by tightening it with the collars - would be constricted.

These simple tools can also be obtained separately, but for those who want to purchase the complete kit, they can find the references on youtube.

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.
