In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the timing belt of the Seat Leon 1.4 TSI. First, let's open the car's hood and start removing the engine mount and the coolant reservoir; we lift the vehicle and disassemble the right front wheel and the wheel arch, then remove the crankshaft pulley and disconnect the V-belt, as shown in the video.

At this point, we remove the timing cover, taking the necessary references useful for the subsequent timing of the engine; we install the original timing belt.

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.
