How to Replace the Gear Knob on a Renault Clio?

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, MK 4, Clio 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Shift knob

If you want to change the gear knob on your Renault because it is worn, first remove the small plastic insert where the gear numbers are engraved. You can use a small flathead screwdriver to help. Then, remove the plastic part where the wrist rests; you can either cut it or simply pull it off from the bottom upwards, without damaging the leather or faux leather gaiter that covers the hydraulic system of the gear knob. You can also replace the plastic adapter where the new knob fits, if included in the new knob's packaging. Once everything is removed, give it a clean and reposition the new knob by inserting it into the housing.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
