In this video, we will see how to change the alternator of a Peugeot 208: first of all, we disconnect the car's battery, so that there are no risks of electrical contact while we do the job. Then we must release the tension on the auxiliary belt, and then remove it. We will also need to release the multiplug located at the bottom of the alternator, and then the 13mm fixing nut, also located at the bottom of the component.

Now we need to remove the two 13mm nuts that serve as additional fastening, then, using a lever, we will remove the alternator from its housing.

Check that the new one - which we have obtained for example on auto-doc. It with the code 4059191801138 at 159.45 euros + 9.90 euros for delivery costs - is perfectly compatible and install it in its place, following the instructions in reverse.

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.
