What to do if the water temperature of a Volkswagen Golf VII rises above 90°? In this video, it was possible to find the fault after performing some tests. The problem was due to the engine's water recirculation, so it was necessary to change the water pump.

We can find the part, for example, on eBay with the code 363097308639 at a price of 145.00 euros, with free delivery. Let's see the defect of the old pump, which apparently worked because it continued to rotate externally, but was blocked internally: the plastic pulley inside was stuck and therefore the water temperature rose.

Remember that when changing the belt, it is always advisable to change the pump as well, even if it appears to be in good condition, because if we then have to change only the pump, we will be forced to change the belt as well, because the work will be the same.

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.
