Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the timing belt on a Toyota Yaris. If you notice that the timing belt is worn, replace it before it breaks and causes a bigger problem.

First, release the tension on the alternator by loosening the 12 mm and 14 mm bolts as shown in the video. Once this is done, the alternator will move forward, allowing you to remove the belt from the pulleys easily.

Use a 3/8 drive ratchet with a 14 mm socket. Loosen it enough to move the alternator back.

Once you have moved the alternator, the belt will lift, and you can now remove it. Now replace it with a new one and reassemble all parts in reverse order.

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.
