How to Remove the Radiator from a Skoda Fabia

Model: Skoda Fabia Mark2, 5J - Years 2007-2014
Part: Radiator

Let's see how to remove the radiator from a Skoda Fabia. Open the engine bonnet and remove the front bumper before taking out the radiator. Dismantle the plates that secure the radiator at the top, then lift the car on a column lift and loosen the hose clamp on the water hose. Use pliers to disconnect the various hoses of the cooling system (unscrew the latch that secures the front bonnet if it obstructs removal). Remove the fan assembly (if necessary for radiator removal) and then take out the radiator from the engine compartment. Refit the car's bumper after installing the radiator. Test the operation of the entire vehicle system.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
