When the fuel gauge needle does not move, you can proceed with a replacement. The repair is technically possible as a DIY task, as it is essentially a potentiometer, similar to the volume knob on a radio, but you need to be skilled with your hands.

Disassemble everything, check and repair the fixed and movable contacts, as well as the wires. Check the float and its values in the manual, as it may be necessary to recalibrate the gauge if it is not functioning correctly.

After cleaning the connector contacts, it may also be necessary to re-solder the connections at the control unit.

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.
