How to replace the automatic gear shift knob of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Shift knob

In this guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the automatic gear knob of the Volkswagen Golf. First of all, we get on board the car and start by disconnecting and removing the cover of the gear lever boot, which we find at the base; then we pull the boot upwards and detach the clamp that we find between the boot and the knob, as shown in the video. At this point we pull the knob forcefully to detach it and remove it, replacing it with the new one; we reassemble the knob and secure the boot with a new clamp, finally reassembling the cover located at the base.

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.
