What to check on the Volkswagen Passat if the battery light is on

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video we see what to check if the battery light of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat is on and the vehicle is not charging. We have already checked the alternator power supply and there are no faults: we open the fuse box located under the hood and with a special device we check if there is current inside the fuse box, and we see that the light inside the device only turns on in some points and not in others. We therefore need to change the entire plate. It is less difficult than it seems: we need to remove the visible screws and the plate is easily found as a replacement on e-commerce platforms at very fair prices: however, we must be sure that it is compatible with our car.

How to Repair the Key Spring of the Peugeot 207?

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
