Replace the brake discs of our car

Model: Renault Scenic MK 2, Scenic 2 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Brake discs

This guide provides step-by-step directions for replacing brake discs. Both the braking system and the vehicle discs are of primary importance to ensure that the vehicle itself is as efficient as possible, for the benefit of the safety of both the driver and passengers. This procedure can also be carried out independently and without having to resort to a mechanic, but it is absolutely necessary to have a good dose of manual skills. First of all, you will need to turn the steering wheel on your side, so that the disc caliper is facing you. Jack up the car and remove the rim after removing the wheel bolts. Take a hex wrench and unscrew all the bolts that hold the caliper firmly to the frame on the rear side. Then put the car on a flat surface and engage the gear to lock the front wheels. Later, it will be possible to remove what is the brake caliper. At this point, only the caliper bracket will remain with the brake pads inside. Remove the latter using a suitable flat screwdriver, paying particular attention not to damage the discs. Then unscrew the bolts that hold the bracket firmly to the hub. Set them aside, as they will be useful for the reassembly phase. At this point, only the brake disc will remain and will need to be replaced.

How do you reset the tire pressure light on the Toyota Aygo X?

To reset the tire pressure warning light on the Toyota Aygo X, you need to inflate the tires until they reach the recommended pressure value: this will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's side door pillar. Once the tires are inflated, you can go inside the cabin and turn on the instrument panel: after it has been turned on, you can open the glove box on the passenger side and locate the SET button that must be held down to turn off the warning light.
