Replacement of the thermostat of the Volkswagen Golf 1.4

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf III, MK 3, Golf 3 - Years 1991-1997
Part: Thermostat

Today's information will allow us to disassemble and replace the coolant thermostat of the Volkswagen Golf 1.4. First, we open the hood of the car and start disconnecting the coolant pipe, letting it drain into a container; then we unscrew the fixing screws of the thermostat, using a socket wrench, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove and replace the component with the new original one, reassembling it correctly; finally, we just need to top up with the new antifreeze coolant!

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.
