Replacing the knob of the Volkswagen Golf is a simple and quick operation to be carried out independently, which is repeated on many other vehicles in the Volkswagen range. To perform the replacement, we need to use a plastic removal tool to remove the central part of the knob with the gears engraved on it. Then we insert a flat-tipped screwdriver into the plastic of the knob to release the sides.

We insert the new sides of the knob onto the base and close it with the central part. After performing this operation, we test the functioning of the knob by using the gear shift.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
