How to change the TPMS sensor on an Opel Astra K

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra K - Years 2015-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we are explained how to independently replace the TPMS sensor on the tire of an Opel Astra K: we know that these devices cannot have their batteries changed, so the entire sensor must be replaced. To tell the truth, we allow ourselves to recommend replacing all sensors at the same time even if they appear to be working because, especially if it is a car purchased new, the sensors were all activated at the same time, so they will all run out in a short time. In fact, the sensors are sold in groups of four, as we see for example on eBay with the code 297243147099 at a price of 23.42 euros + 9.76 euros for shipping. We will need an Allen key and an electric air pump to inflate the tire, which must be deflated beforehand, lowered onto the wheel until the position of the old sensor is found. We remove it, clean the seat with a brake cleaner, and then disassemble the new sensor into two parts: one part goes inside the tire and the other part secures it to the wheel. Then we inflate the tire to the pressure indicated by the manufacturer and reprogram it with a programmer - a device that costs a few euros.

How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Ford C MAX

In the event of a breakage, it will be necessary to replace the external wing mirror on the 2011 Ford C MAX. This operation is easily performed independently. Start by removing the internal cover of the mirror with a plastic lever. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the securing pins. Once the pins are removed, you can take off the mirror, but not before disconnecting the power connectors. Then proceed to fit the new mirror. First, connect the connectors and then secure the mirror to its housing with the pins. Refit the plastic cover and test the operation of the electric mirror using the controls.
