Today's main instructions will show us how to disassemble and replace the camshaft of the Volkswagen Golf Plus 1.9 TDI. First, we get on board the car and start by disassembling and removing the air filter box, unscrewing the fixing screws and disconnecting the intake hose; then we unscrew the fixing screws found on the sides to remove the cylinder head cover, as shown in the video.

At this point, we remove the camshaft, replacing it with the new original one; we reassemble and adjust the camshaft, reassembling the cylinder head cover with the new gasket.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
