To replace the timing belt on the Seat Leon 1.2 TSi, loosen the bolts securing the front right wheel to its housing: once these are loosened, the front wheel and wheel arch can be removed, allowing access to the components on the side of the engine block.

The tensioner pulley can be removed, reducing the tension on the timing belt; it can now be extracted and replaced with a new spare part.

After replacement, reassemble all removed parts, checking their operation.

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.
