How to replace the air filter in a Subaru Impreza.

Model: Subaru Impreza MK 2 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Air filter

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the air filter in a 2002 Subaru Impreza with a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new air filter from an authorised dealer; the next step is to get inside the vehicle, turn off the car, and pull the handbrake. Lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod, take a 10 mm socket and remove the 10 mm securing bolt. Once this bolt is removed, you need to remove the securing clips of the filter box; disconnect the intake pipe, open the box, remove the air filter, clean the housing and the cover of the box; position the new air filter in place. Reassemble all parts in reverse order.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
