In this tutorial we can see how to disassemble the steering wheel in the Volkswagen Golf, a very simple and quick operation. Before proceeding, we open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, in order to avoid accidental activation of the airbag.

We start by going inside the cabin, then we rotate the steering wheel by 90 degrees, locate the indicated groove, and, using a screwdriver with a flat tip, unhook the fixing clip. We then repeat the operation on the opposite side, remove the airbag and disconnect the power connector.

At this point, all that remains is to unscrew the central bolt with a 12mm XZN key and separate the steering wheel from the steering column.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
