Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008

Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the handbrake cable of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we get into the car and start by removing the plastic cover of the central tunnel, accessing the bottom part of the handbrake; then we disconnect the adjusting screw, as shown in the video. At this point, we lift the car and disconnect the handbrake cable from the braking system; then we install the new handbrake cable and check that the rear brake shoes or pads are in good condition, finally adjusting the handbrake cable!

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.
