To replace the timing belt on an Opel Mokka, completely remove the front right wheel by loosening the bolts and detaching the inner cover of the wheel arch. Once these components are removed, you can loosen the nut on the tensioner pulley to reduce the tension on the belt; by opening the bonnet, you can locate the side cover of the engine block, beneath which the belt is situated.

You can now slide the old belt off the pulleys, insert the new one, and check that everything functions correctly.

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.
