Video tutorial

The following video tutorial shows us the steps to replace the oil filter and engine oil of the Volkswagen Tiguan model 1. We open the oil tank cap and using the jack stands we lift and rest the vehicle so as to have access to the oil pan. We remove the plastic base and unscrew the bolt, using an 18 mm wrench.

Using an 18 mm wrench with extension, we unscrew the oil filter and replace it. After replacing the filter, we tighten the oil pan nut and lower the vehicle to the ground.

We pour the new oil into the tank.

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.
