In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to dismantle and replace the engine coolant temperature sensor of the Skoda Octavia. First, we open the car's engine hood and start by removing the intake hose; then we remove the battery, disconnecting both terminals and unscrewing the screw of the bracket found at the bottom, as shown in the video.

At this point, it will be possible to access the temperature sensor by disconnecting the electrical connector to remove it; we replace the temperature sensor with the new one and reassemble everything!

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
