Operation: What to do when the car key won't turn.

In this video, we see what to do if we find ourselves in a situation where the house key won't turn: it may simply be due to the steering lock, in which case just turn the steering wheel slightly to the right and left to remove the lock. Another reason may be that the key is damaged or dirty and needs to be cleaned, along with the lock itself. Compressed air can be used for this cleaning; perhaps the key cylinder is worn out. The key should be inserted all the way and then rotated while being pulled out, while looking for the point where the key can turn. Remember that we can use the second key! If nothing works, it is necessary to have the cylinder changed, which will also involve replacing the key.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
