Video tutorial

In this video we see how to change the thermostat of a Megane RS, which is comparable to a Megane III: we remove the tube from the air inlet, slide out the control unit, disconnect the negative and then the positive pole of the battery and remove it from its housing.

We will also have to remove the container in which it is normally housed.

Under the air inlet we will find the thermostat. We recommend the replacement part for a regular Megane III, which can be found on auto-doc. It with the code 316T0172 at a price of 19.34 euros, + 9.90 euros for shipping costs.

We replace the part with its gasket and then put back all the pieces we removed, in reverse.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
