How do you replace the water pump of the Volkswagen Transporter?

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Pump

In order to replace the water pump of the Volkswagen Transporter, you need to open the hood so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment: on the left side of the engine block, you will be able to locate the water pump pulley, which must be removed by loosening the central nut. At this point, you can detach the timing belt and proceed to unscrew the screws that secure the pump to its housing: the new one can then be inserted by reconnecting the pulley and belt to check that everything works.

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.
