Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to solve the annoying whistling noise heard inside the Renault Clio IV: this is caused by the seals of the deflectors not sealing properly, and the only solution is to add a spacer, but not with the internal seal (which actually makes the situation worse) but with the external one. Here, our YouTuber shows us how to do it: take a measurement with adhesive tape, fold it two or three times to create a strip (you can also use foam), and repeat to create the right thickness.

Open the window and insert it starting from the top, into the seal.

Raise the window and test for the whistling noise again. Much better, and cost is zero.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
